Quick and straightforward review for Ateria De ArcanaPlot: I will be treating this criticism as similar to what I would do to any fantasy story.During my first time reading this, I have been wanting to read more fantasy from this story. The story lacks the fantasy elements or it only has a very minimal approach to fantasy. The Introduction and Chapter 12 was the most fantasy themed part of the story.
Pacing: Setting the fantasy part aside, the story telling could be much similar to a Korean Telenovela, though I am not that much of a fan, I could recognize their pacing tempo.
Overall: On the positive side of the story, there is a very evident life lesson and characters' emotions were highlighted here. though at some point, readers might lose the connection since emotions jump from one character to another leaving the reader lost to where the story would really go. The concept of the story is good and can still be improved if this story pushes a little more of its fantasy side, then I'm sure this would be an instant epic.
Strengths: Vivid detailing. Characters have their own personalities. Good narration and story telling. The whole concept of the story is interesting. Pacing and Tempo are OK(not too fast but has a little tendency to go slow)Emotions and thoughts of characters are well described.
