To me the layout is kind of plain, but nice all the same. What I don't like about it, is the fact that the text scrolls over the image. It makes it somewhat difficult for me to read. The summary really drew me in, because I relate alot to the quote you have placed there.
The figurative language you use in the story is amazing. Especially in the very first chapter - the story of the Lion & Spider. I don't believe I've seen anything like that on Mibba, which is pretty cool.
I normally do not read guy/guy stories, but yours is well written, so I am. I really like the second chapter. The part about the tattoo was just hilarious to me. Not because he's being yelled at, but the way you write what's going on gives me an a m a z i ng image of what's going on.
When it gets to the third chapter, there is more of an anxious feeling. You did very well with writing that too. The fourth chapter is my favourite. It's a combination of everything a story should be, and I like that. Xavier is most definitely my favourite character here. This story = keep.
Other then that I really loved the story. I love how you gave the entire story a mystical feel to it. I really love the lion and the spider story. This is very original too this is much different than anything I have read on Mibba or in published books... and I am a freak with how much I read. I actually did enjoy this.
