And that's the end. As for my review, prepare yourself. When I saw the title, I assumed this was going to be a typical phantom thief flic. It wasn't. Now in all fairness, some of that is on me, but as I read more and more, it really became apparent that dubbing Melody a phantom thief might've been a misstep. She really does feel more like a bounty hunter. I honestly felt like the phantom thief bits were more gimmick than plot relevant, as her being a bounty hunter just fits much better. I also think that maybe you should have set the tone better during the story's first half, as it really is night and day between the two parts of the story. All in all, I'd say this whole thing is a 3/5. I feel if Melody was a bounty hunter and the tone was set better earlier in the story, I would've enjoyed it more.
