>>57447563I appreciate the detail you've gone into here, it really means a lot.
The action feeling bloated I can understand, I tend to have a vision in my mind for the fight scenes and get a little too overindulged getting that vision across. It's great to hear that you enjoy the characters so much, and everything going on with Roundtail as well as Anon being my own personal favourites. I will be touching more on the idea of people being able to change forms, but moreso in regards to the effects it has on people rather than the process itself.
I totally get your confusion around Kson's knowledge, as looking back I can easily see how one can get lost in her monologue and it was also mentioned in a review when chapter III first came out that wasn't something that can be easily inferred right away. Rest assured that'll be given some more expounding on soon(relative to the story anyway not my speed as a writer).
The comparisons to Cover Job aren't surprising, as part of my inspiration was the author mentioning that he had had the idea for the Anon in that being more of a thug than an assassin. I do think they've gone in such different directions that it definitely is a 'Two cakes, but two very different flavours' thing. Thank you for your review!
