why do I have to write 100 words for a review? sigh......hmm..... well I like the merit mechanics, it feels good to be rewarded for good deeds and it allows for a darker setting without the novel being too depressing to read. I guess the "golden finger'' isn't too ridiculous. if you are thinking of darker scenes and world settings (which is fine), I would recommend adding some "light" and "hope" to not appear too depressing. I have never liked the novels which were focused on how only by being heartless, ruthless, immoral....etc., you can succeed. so it was nice to see your merit mechanics from the beginning.
finally..........122 words for this review
