The artwork was engaging and visually appealing. Aidalai is charming, and I found myself wanting to see more of her in action.
However, several aspects felt quite unclear, including the nature of the dream world, the existence of the antagonists, and how the conflict can ultimately be resolved.
I was disappointed that the work does not overcome a common weakness of dream-based stories: the tendency for “anything goes” logic, where being set in a dream allows for arbitrary rules and outcomes.
