I liked this entry more than the last, where I felt Artorian became lost in the main Divine Dungeon storyline. In this book, he becomes a kind of caretaker to all those within the Soul Space, and it works pretty well.
The main problem I have: there’s basically no plot. Things happen, sure, but the events don’t really amount to a story. I suppose life is like that sometimes. We meander. And this is a slice of life novel, so perhaps it fits. I dunno. Having no plot meant having no ending. The book just… stops. It’s abrupt and jarring, leaving a dissatisfied sensation after.
One thing that absolutely works, for me, is the idea that Artorian gains power by showing Love and helping others. It’s powerful and awfully wonderful. I hope future novels continue exploring that idea.
