It’s poorly written. the conversations are not believable. it’s a bad premise modern sword magic but different planet but obviously Japanese customs kind of. I don’t know I’m not Japanese and he doesn’t explain what is going on and why. time with characters is quick and he doesn’t do a good job at having you get to know them. I listened for at least 2 hours but the story and writing style was very frustrating to listen to. bad books make time move by so slowly. definitely a day ruiner or at least a shift
