A rather interesting multicultural work, like a Shinkai Makoto production with a Swedish scriptwriter, you can sense the intertwined elements of Japanese and Swedish culture almost everywhere: not only just the content, where the comparisons of the two cultures have repeatedly occured, but also in writing style and character design, too. Thus I'm wildly guessing the author has a similar background like Ulf :D, or at least has an amazingly deep understanding of both countries. The language used is not really "authentic, native English"--not saying that it's bad or wrong, just not quite the mainstream American/British style of using words and organizing sentences, like it's written by a person who's from non-english-speaking European countries but well-educated in this language (Don't know why I get this feeling, sheer intuition XD Not necessarily right), adding a unique, personal characteristic to the whole text, especially when it's organized about a story happened in Japan, which just makes it some-what exotic, even. Might be why some people find it a little bit obscure and hard to read, but to me it distinguishes this novel from the mainstream of both Asian works(which referred to Webnovel stuff and Japanese light novels) and English fictions(Again meaning American/British style). I like this kind of feeling, personally, for I REALLY HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE MAINSTREAM BULXXHIT. I always think literature should be more inclusive in this area, doesn't matter if it's not the right or orthodoxy or popular way. My ass. The plots and characters won't be that original if you know a lot about Japanese anime and light novels, but's it's fairly well written. For my taste it's progressing in a rather slow pace, however, and because the author has two story lines with big time gap in between, readers will need to really quiet their minds down to appreciate the work properly, because it's not something you can digest like fast-food fiction. As for world background, I haven't gathered much information about this futuristic setting of transits until now, but I'm sensing a bit of sociological meaning that the author wanted to attach to the transit and reincarnation system, from the whole upstream/downstream world thing, which will be something to hope for in my future readings. I'm quite a veteran of the whole webnovel industry so I'm speaking this from experience: the "reincarnation school" was at root to satisfy the unrealistic, childish wish of "I'm a fxxking loser but if I could go back I would lead a different life blabla", and the transit/restart system was merely a hand of god to make the wish come true. Will be glad to see someone give it a better purpose. Finally, since there's quite an amount of business language in the novel and I'm a business school bachelor myself, I'm just gonna market-position this book anyway (just for fun)(nope): this book would be very unlikely to be a commercial success. The whole web novel industry thing started in China and I witnessed the process, and I know from the core now it's even more market-focused and fast-food-ish than your western publishing/filmscripts industry thing, and this book is just too slow-paced and niche. But screw that. I just love rare dishes.

I don’t think I read a story quite like this one! The author has put so much thought and details into their writing. The grammar is perfect which is rare here in webnovel. I definitely won’t be surprise to see this climb the ranks! I’m going to recommend this to my friends :D
