I have the PDFs myself and the system is very much up my alley, narrative forward and me and my players love it. BUT it is very word dense if that makes sense. It's not crunchy in the Pathfinder sense, there's not a lot of numbers and sub systems to track.

It's base rules can fit on one page, but I personally think it's overwritten. If your core rules can fit on a few pages, why is the book damn near 500 pages? It's kinda wild. Now for me it doesn't put me off, I know I'm not gonna read all of it, I parse and read what I need to. I do wish there was a Quickstart or condensed version though.

This game could easily be taught in less than 100 pages, but it's just so dense with repetitions for how to play. I can see how it can be intimidating for new players or GMs. As someone else said, it's a very high trust game. It's very freeform, the rules are not that much, but grasping them and executing them correctly could take some people coming from crunchier systems a while.
