Heya.
Thanks so much for giving my novel a read and for the brutally honest feedback. I completely agree with your sentiment regarding the "weak" MC - I guess I intended to develop him over the course of the series but I understand that there might not have been enough information about him to be able to relate. In fact, in light of your comment, I updated the prologue to better reflect the plans I have for him as a character, and as someone you can get behind.
As for the part about the lack of stakes, you might have been a little hasty there given that it was just the prologue, haha. There is a lot to come in that regard in future chapters and at this point, I agree with you that it is not necessarily enough of a "drive" to push Makoto forward as will be seen.
Also wanted to ask - when you read the synopsis, were your expectations about the story more in the realm of a serious Shounen with good character development or a parody/comedy?
