4.0
Cutting social commentary highlighting the cruel history of colon and occupation. Rich world building and a complex magic system. But has some muddy plot points and too many time skips. Characters also gained skills without explanation and create bonds only to cut them soon after. There are also some convoluted battle scenes with baited character death multiple times.
Graphic: Racism, Xenophobia, and Colonisation
Minor: Rape and Sexual harassment
