This is a cute start of a bizarre tale. I would like to read balance of story just to see where it's headed. Instead of the ancient Japanese use of the "mind over matter" ... it would seem to end up as "matter over mind"
My 2cents
A good start. The story is interesting and you have good characters. I look forward to reading more. Thanks for your time and imagination.
I didn’t enjoy this at all. It’s like a terrible Karate Kid but worse. I’m gonna fight you to the death but if you kill me you die. It’s dumb. Hard pass.
There are parts of this I like, but there’s an unrealistic ott quality to it I don’t like much, plus unless I misread or missed something he “activated” some arcane piece of Japanese Lore, I might be stupid, but unless fathers with daughters are secretly hypnotised and made to remember a word sequence that triggers this event, however can it have been forgotten for centuries?
Fingers crossed for ch2. Cheers Ppfzz.
Anyone familiar even just a little with Japanese culture, would never drop F-bombs in every other sentence, unless he was a complete idiot. This is especially true for a more rural/traditional region. However you decided to voice your main character, his complete cluelessness makes him very unattractive and leaves me hoping he gets the shit kicked out of him. Why did you decide to make him so dumb and uncouth?
