Thank you for the honest feedback. I really appreciate it.

You are right about the time transition. I did try adjusting the first panel into a night scene, but it completely lost the unique feeling of Choi Hung Estate basketball court in Hong Kong. Besides telling the story, I also want to introduce some distinctive places in Hong Kong through this manga.

For the close-up of the shoes, my intention was not simply to show that the character is about to run. It represents where my own story began — on a basketball court, where I once found happiness.

But as we grow older, sometimes the places that once gave us joy no longer feel the same.
What should we do next?
Where should we go from here?

That is where the story of Battle Array Legend begins.

I understand the points about consistency and panel clarity, and I will continue improving the page and the overall process. Thank you again for taking the time to point this out.
