The art is lovely (Nox is soo hot despite having no nipples) but the story is a bit lacking in depth.
There is little to no character development and explanation of backstory. Kid Nox suddenly gets attached to Amy even though Diana was the one who found him. Adult Nox has suddenly develops feelings for Amy after a few chapters.

No explanation is made about why Diana and Amy had to suddenly go into hiding. Why is their house a safe spot and the glyrus suddenly stop chasing them there. Why is Amy stuck at home all the time and is never seen outside the house with Diana (since she can’t leave the house alone apparently) yet knows the way back home in the middle of the night perfectly?

Usually fantasy novels have an explanation whenever characters use/talk about items that only exist in the context of the novel (e.g. the dolomite she uses, what the heck is that?).

What the heck happened to the mercenaries that Nox killed that night? Surely their bodies were still there when Diana returned. How did Diana not question that, since she was the one being chased and she went after the mercenaries but they went straight to the house and got killed immediately. Surely she went back to the house after she couldn’t find them and found their bodies.

There’s no follow up on all the random events that keep happening abruptly. It’s like they’re separate side stories that don’t relate to the main story.

I’m trying to enjoy the unique plot and nice art but the gaps in the set up and pacing of this story is so glaringly obvious.. and the broken English isn’t helping either.

    This. Even if you try not to pay attention to it, you can feel the holes in the plot

    Same to all of this. Whenever I read this I can’t help but think how great this story would be if the author would fix the glaring plot holes and add more explanations to the character’s actions. It could be such a great story

    I feel the same way about Nox getting attached to Amy out of nowhere. But reading the spoiler, I can understand why.

    Nox don't have a name and named himself. The reason why Diana is his first love in the original novel is because Diana named him. He doesn't have any memories, but it is hinted that he somehow remembers deep inside his mind.

    That's why he is sticking to Amy instead.

    And about the terms, I feel the same way. Lack of explanations
