I tried, I really did. I sat for what seemed like an eternity and tried to finish this story - eventually I had to give up just halfway through Chapter 12.
This isn't a bad story, nice premise, original too - I think its the sheer scale that brings it down in my estimation. There are simply so many "bonded" that its a group ensemble constantly and becomes awfully repetitive at times.
I might come back to finish this story in the future, however for the moment, I just can't.

Yep its repetitive in the early going. I actually debated this but decided to leave it like that. Sorry you didnt like it.
