Overall Impression: The world-building is excellent, making it easy to follow the story and develop an attachment to the characters. The detail on how mana operates through Arista and Carter's interactions is particularly well done. Carter, depicted as a man of simple means but great utility, is a compelling character. The portrayal of female characters significantly enhances the narrative. The mention of the Arthur sign on Ami piques curiosity about Arthur's role and background.
Additional Thoughts: The scene featuring the blinking dogs was a highlight, showcasing Carter's ability to identify their weaknesses and defeat them with grace. It would be enriching to experience similar detailed battles, especially the encounter with the group of boars, from Carter's perspective, given his warrior skills, in contrast to Arista’s viewpoint.
A point of confusion was the revelation of Carter's gender following the damage to his robe, having initially been perceived as a large man. Perhaps the robe serves to mask his identity? The pronouns in the following section were slightly confusing:
"After hugging, Mari looked over Arista's shoulder and said, 'Shouldn't we be helping her attack those blink dogs?'
'Stop drooling, you two. Arthur would never let you do that,' Arista responded.
'She’s right. I'm surprised he didn’t try to kill him yet,' Mari remarked.
'He tried. He imprisoned us in the spider pit,' Arista explained.
'Told you,' Mari said with a smile."
Keep up the good work!
