I love the humor every chapter, fleshed out characters and the very descriptive way of writing. I absolutely love the prologue and the clockwork scene, although I don't know a thing about it.
The stance's names are kind of confusing for me though, but visualizing the fight scenes are not an issue due to detailed writing.
Not a comprehensive review but just wanted to tell that I like this story. Thanks for the hard work.
