Strong disagree. I rather liked his writing.

Let’s start with the setting. We’ve got a continent called Creusa on the world of Roxana. Sounds like a prescription drug, but once you dig into it? Damn, there’s meat here. Not literal meat—unless you're a wolf person chowing down on deer jerky—but narrative meat. This world’s got animal-humanoids living together, and not in some lazy, furry-bait fashion. These characters aren’t just “catgirl #47” or “brooding fox guy with scars.” No, their entire biology, culture, and diet are actually thought through. Carnivores still hunt—but not sentient prey. That’s a gray moral line that actually makes you think. It’s like Zootopia went to therapy, learned ethics, and picked up a sword on the way out.

And this world doesn’t skimp on the details. We’re talkin’ full-on magic system that feels like a chemistry textbook had a baby with an ancient grimoire. You don’t just say “abracadabra” and pull fireballs out of your ass. You have to learn it, craft it, study it. Want to lift a rock? Great. Want to turn lead into gold? Now you’re on the FBI’s magic watchlist. It’s magic with rules. Like Fullmetal Alchemist and The Witcher had a spell-slinging lovechild. It makes the whole world feel lived-in, like this is a place where people actually exist, not just float around waiting for the plot to care.

The religion? You’d think something like Matronism would be lazy, like, “Here’s our stock goddess, now shut up and go questing.” But no! The lioness goddess Matrona is basically the Mother Teresa of mythical creatures. Her followers don’t just pray, they do shit. Literacy programs, orphanages, soup kitchens. It’s like if your DnD cleric decided, “Hey, instead of spamming Cure Wounds all day, let’s fix the economy.”
