Good: fights are awesome, build up to them is awesome, new OC Scottish runesmith is awesome, some stuff that happens blindsides you.
Bad: long. Long long long. Many chapters end up feeling like fluff, or filled with semi pointless technical detail. Shiro gets lots of powerups that feel pointless and unneeded. IMO they hurt the story by making him needlessly powerful.
Overview: Comes out feeling like the author went "what if Shiro could do x!" About 5 different times in the story. It takes freaking forever to get to the grail war. And in the end Shiro doesn't feel like Shiro, or someone I'm emotionally invested in. I simply don't connect with the story as it isn't about the characters I love.
