I don't like to comment or review, but I will for this novel. Because this novel, Lunerra, was a slightly different experience for me compared to other ones. I was actually bored when I first read it seeing how generic the start was and mc's cringy interaction with his sister. But then I saw the good reviews of several people. I wanted to continue and I did. And I am glad I did.
First of all the writing quality is quite good and I can see that the author has improved in the following chapters. However, some parts still feel strange in english, which I attribute to the fact that the author wrote in his native and then translated it rather than writing straight in english. That aside, author has his own way of writing and although it took me a while to get used to it, I am satisfied with it for now.
The story development part really frustrated me at the beginning with the things that happened. But after I gritted my teeth, I realized how unique Lunerra is from other novels in this genre. The author tried something different and for me he succeeded. He preferred a slow-paced progression. In doing so, he touched on the emotions, movements, and behaviors of the characters. Briefly, as the story progressed, he really wrote it through the eyes of the characters, and I can't tell you how much I liked that. I think the only bad thing about story development is that mc is constantly experiencing tragedy after tragedy. But this doesn't pose much of a problem for me as I am really curious to see how the story progresses.
I think the characters are the most prominent aspect of Lunerra. Because you can see with your own eyes the thoughts of each character, the reflection of these thoughts on their actions, and that there is a completely different story behind each of them. The way Ethan is not a perfect person but really feels like a human, Adrian's search for his own path, Lucia's struggle with the problems her charm causes her, Sue's breaking down after being bullied, Celine's trauma after what she went through, Alexander's current route and so much more... Each one of them was truly satisfying for me, I really felt each one of them. I think the author did an excellent job in terms of character design.
World building actually looks quite ordinary, but the author has also put different twists on it. There is mana, there are elves, there are dwarves... these are things we have already seen in each of the extra novels. But there are other energies besides mana in Lunerra. Besides elves and dwarves, there are two other races, hannyas and faes, which I haven't seen in most novels and which have different characteristics. There is no race like demons, but there are wieras, which can be called a unique concept in its own right. But not much has been shown about the world yet. I think world building will get more detailed with the fourth and later volumes because Lunerra contains a world that feels like there are so many things we haven't seen yet.
Actually, Lunerra is not a five star novel considering the things I've said. To be honest I would give it a score between 9 and 10 out of 10. But I haven't read a novel like this lately. I am more than satisfied with what I felt while reading this novel. That's why I give Lunerra 5 stars.
