I guess, after reading the past 5 or so pages, that I am on the short bus for those that are enjoying this game. Maybe it is because of time that I spent, while in the US Navy, in Scotland/Aberdeen/Edinburgh/London, I am having a blast with the writing and banter that is going back and forth. I actually remember a couple of families in our neighborhoods that were very similar to this family...and I do mean very similar. Imagine my shock and curiosity as a 18 year old kid from the back woods of North Carolina (USA). So,
Azrayal I am really enjoying the story line and writing.
For those of you that are saying that the MC should tell his mother to "bugger off"...yeah right. I don't know about any of you, but I for one, would NEVER say that to my mom and even if I ever did, I would be picking myself up off the floor...after I woke up.
For those of you beating up the MC as an "elite" soldier and a wuss. My guess is that you don't know any. Just because they have been specially trained does not mean that they are "hard-ass...my way or the highway" type people. They can be and are very normal leaders of their families.
For those of you chastising the MC's sister. What, you want her to be just like him? Better to have a contrasting character to add interest.
These are just my feelings and opinions...not saying anyone is wrong or bashing...just looking at things from a different perspective.
