Above the Firmament: Legend of Skyrim

Livy – a deadbeat of the Air Force Academy. Unruly, undisciplined, lazy. Before Claude, no one saw his talent, and as a leisurely and carefree fighter pilot, his three main hobbies in life were beer, fried calamari, and hot babes. But… why was that d*mned Claude always interrupting him right when he was about to get laid? Even if that guy was a shou, he was a tr*sh shou, a shou that always made his little gong suffer helplessly…… Claude – a man draped in halos galore. The youngest major general, the most perfect man, the most unsurpassable genius. Such a man had discovered Livy’s talent against the aliens’ one-sided defeat, and he would give to Livy the fighter jet that he regarded as his own life. He was obsessed with Livy, but he deeply understood that this man, who had turned his world upside down, would belong only to the sky.

## My Thoughts on Above the Firmament: Legend of Skyrim "Above the Firmament: Legend of Skyrim" promised a blend of action, sci-fi, and romance, and after diving in, I found a story with both captivating strengths and some frustrating weaknesses. It's a novel that left me with mixed feelings, making it a challenging but ultimately interesting read. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise and the world-building. The blend of sci-fi elements with a mature storyline felt fresh, and I was eager to see how the author would navigate the complexities of the plot and characters. The early chapters delivered on the action front, with engaging battles that kept me on the edge of my seat. ### What Works Well The action sequences are definitely a highlight. There's a palpable sense of adrenaline during the battles, even if the enemy remains somewhat abstract. I also appreciated the protagonist's charisma and the lighthearted moments that balanced the more serious aspects of the story. The author's ability to create a sense of camaraderie among the characters was also a strong point, making me genuinely invested in their fates. ### Areas of Concern However, as I progressed, I encountered some issues that detracted from my overall enjoyment. The protagonist's impulsiveness sometimes crossed the line into frustratingly childish behavior, particularly when it came to disobeying orders and making questionable decisions in battle. This made it difficult to fully connect with him, despite his otherwise likable qualities. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Additionally, I found the romantic relationships to be somewhat convoluted and problematic. The protagonist's initial attraction to female characters felt underdeveloped, and the sudden shift towards a romantic interest in his male childhood friend felt a bit jarring. The revelation involving the male lead disguising himself as a woman and later forcing himself on the protagonist left a particularly bad taste in my mouth, despite the presence of mature content tags. ### Final Verdict "Above the Firmament: Legend of Skyrim" has moments of brilliance, particularly in its action sequences and world-building. However, the flawed character development and problematic romantic relationships ultimately hold it back from reaching its full potential. While I appreciate the author's ambition and creativity, I can only give it a tentative recommendation. If you're a fan of action-packed sci-fi with a tolerance for messy relationships and potentially triggering content, it might be worth checking out, but proceed with caution.
