MCs battle with depression/PTSD/suicidal thoughts is definitely what upleveled this story. Also, the whole idea of restorers and how MCs powers were used in battle were new and fun. The antagonists were a bit cliché but they did their job in moving the story along. Although I loved that MCs goal (to die) made him respond differently when they tried to threaten him. His character was also consistent in dealing with his trauma throughout. I'm glad he and ML found each other bc I just want him to be happy, oof.
5/5
