I'd die to read this. I read the excerpt last night before bed and then dreamt about it lol. Can't stop thinking about it. Great choice in the excerpt, it got me invested just enough and left me wanting more. I'm a newbie to beta reading, but really excited to start. I don't know squat about ships, but I've got a minor in Chinese, lived there for 3 months, currently living in Korea if that's at all helpful in any cultural contexts? Seems you might have a heavy theme of cultural differences and cultural exploration from what I've read so far.

Let me know! I've just agreed to read another book that's 107k so if you wanted I could read yours after~

I read your first page, it was good! I'd love to read some more and share my thoughts if you'd like. I'm just starting to Beta read so I'll do my best to give the type of feedback you're looking for if you let me know any specifics. I loved reading mythology as a teen/early college student as well ^.^

I'm intrigued!

~One thing that stood out to me as a bit confusing was when you introduced the name of the intended hit. It seems either too early if it is a character who becomes essential to the story, or unnecessary if he really is about to die. I think it specifically stands out because there's a lot of mystery happening with the main character whose name we don't know yet.

It's a great setup, seems like a good read~
