I'm not sure how to review this when I read the whole webcomic all at once, rather than reading just this first volume, and on top of that the story isn't finished yet.
Overall for Lore Olympus as a whole, I like it. I'm definitely engaged and I couldn't stop reading it over the course of a couple days, until I was fully caught up. I think some of the criticisms are valid, but in general I think this is a nice enjoyable read. I'm definitely invested in where it goes from here!
And thinking about it being split into volumes like this, tbh if I'd only read the first 25 comics I feel like maybe I would think it was really slow and nothing really happened. So, idk. That's not really anyone's fault though, as the pacing for a book and a webcomic are naturally different.
