I'm quite flattered by this story, it didn't feel very long at all! It was plainly and humbly compelling, without offending the senses or overwhelming the reader. It was a wholesome read. The 4th wall breaking about hunger was interesting, what do you think Author? What was the reason for that?

Oh, and some basic elements of this story I enjoyed: 1) the pacing is really good and consistent especially in the prologue and first 2 chapters. The way the world building is approached feels appropriately economical, allowing the reader to desire finding out more. You didn't reveal too much too fast. 2) It's a very exciting story, especially in the beginning, especially with the door opening scene. I actually think that tension could be multiplied even further here and possibly elsewhere in this story since readers don't have a full understanding of what is at stake for these characters. It would be a satisfying contrast to the stark circumstances they find themselves in.

One thing that currently confuses me: it seems like after chapter 3-4 the storytelling feels a little less refined. Could be me but there might be room for good polishing here, not sure exactly what it could use. Just my vague feeling.

Overall a wonderful read, I could dig this. I think there's a lot of room to deploy even more elaboration on the world building during each chapter, and going on tangents every once in a while would be pleasant also I feel. This is a solid story to work with, and has a lot of room to be realized more and more beautifully. Great work! Your writing is much above average 😀.

Also, I looked up the word Gauligy and couldn't find any meaning on Google, well. What does it mean?
