Very nice start.

Great cast, fun setting, intriguing mystery.

I am very much enjoying the depth there appears for the characters. Not some shallow 1D or 2D cutouts, but people who had actual lives and relationships before the story started, and how it impacts how they act. Of course, it's all preliminary. Only so far you can dive into that sort of thing in 26k words.

The pictures are also a nice addition as well. It's always nice to have art to help reinforce the various descriptions. I hope the main casts' art is reused each volume to help cement their image to the readers, as repetition helps a lot, and it's easy to skip for those who have a good memory.

If I had to place a downside, it's that the story is divided up by volumes as separate series.

In theory, this is how the system should be used, however in practice I fear that it would only make it more difficult to find this great start of a story.

Either way, great story so far!
