Description
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon chronicles the story of a futuristic civilization returned to Earth after constant warfare hindered them from traveling beyond the post-Apocalyptic Earth. At this stage, a small archipelago called the Divine States were the only hospitable land on Earth. In order to regain the space-faring technology they had lost after many years of war, they decided to recreate history with a book called the Testament as a guide. It is the year 1648 in the Testament Era. Toori Aoi, Chancellor and Student Council President of the only academy on the airborne city-ship Musashi, faces the ten-year anniversary of the death of his childhood friend Horizon Ariadust in an accident. As he prepares to celebrate the occasion by proposing to P-01s (an automaton who looks exactly like Horizon) he discovers that his suspicion about P-01s’ appearance actually has a basis in truth; P-01s is in fact Horizon Ariadust, reborn into a robotic body. In addition to this, Horizon’s emotions had been stripped away and are now stored in eight powerful weapons called the Mortal Sin Armaments; which are now in the possession of key people in various established countries in the Divine States. To retrieve the emotions of Horizon Ariadust, Toori Aoi along with his friends and allies begins a crusade against different obstacles as key events in history are recreated in a futuristic manner.

My Thoughts on Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
"Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon" is quite the experience. Diving into this web novel is like embarking on a grand adventure, one that requires commitment but promises a unique and sprawling world. It's a series that, while not perfect, has a certain charm that kept me reading.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, the sheer size of this novel is intimidating. Each volume feels like a tome, packed with detail and lore. It's a commitment, no doubt, but one that can be rewarding if you're willing to invest the time. Be prepared for a lot of information upfront, as the initial volumes lay the groundwork for a complex world.
What Works Well
The world-building is a definite highlight. The author has crafted a detailed and fascinating setting, blending fantasy, sci-fi, and historical elements into something truly unique. I found myself captivated by the intricate political landscape and the diverse cultures within.
The characters, despite their large number, are another strong point. They're not just cardboard cutouts; each one has their own story, motivations, and struggles. I especially enjoyed how the narrative shifts perspectives, allowing for a deeper understanding of the world and its inhabitants. The "support" characters really shine, often stealing the spotlight with their compelling stories.
Areas of Concern
While the novel excels in many areas, it's not without its flaws. The sheer volume of information can be overwhelming, especially early on. It sometimes feels like I was thrown into the middle of a story, lacking context for character relationships and motivations. Also, the humor might not land for everyone, with some scenes feeling out of place or tonally inconsistent.
