The pacing is weird but it's entertaining.

This is narrated mainly from the point of view of the protagonist, and you don't get to see much of the other things that happen. Sometimes you will get a chapter that goes into a bit of detail of something that happened away from the eyes of the protagonist, but that's about it.

If I had a complain, would be that the time pacing seems way too fast. Not sure how this will be dealt with 10+ Volumes, but at 4+ years per volume in time, seems weird.

Also another complain is that sometimes, things that you would think are important just get one line or two. I do hope this gets addressed in later volumes.

On the positive side, the chapters are divided in sub-stories, which makes easy to stop in any point in the book without leaving something hanging, that you might need to re-read to not get lost.

Not understanding one chapter fully doesn't break the flow of the story, but since as I previously mentioned sometimes heavy things are just dropped in 1-2 lines, you could be missing something important at any time.

Vocabulary wise, once you get used to the agriculture stuff, just like other specific themed series, it becomes doable.

I scored this 4 star, but it's more like 3.5 to me. Hopefully it goes up on the next volumes, as I really like the setting.
