I wanted to just jump in here out of a question I just get my general feelings out there about “A cage called home”. Which is to say, I have mixed feelings about it. There is a lot of things that make me cringe and stuff like that inside it, I think it’s very obvious I don’t have a lot of writing experience and there are times where I think the story doesn’t know what it wants to be. These are all symptoms of its rocky development which is at the very least endearing to me. At I certain point I was able to settle on the idea that, whether or not I made something “good” I made something odd and special, at least to me, and I’m excited to improve my craft in the future.

I enjoyed the setting because whole cities build in caves or in other unusual places is something that generally gets me curious, they have have a nice vibe to them.

Biggest gripe I have concerns the flow of the comic. While it started out at a comfortable pace, it never managed to shake off the feeling of "introductory exposition". While I do understand there has to be some setup for future iterations to build on and keep a sense of mystery, there simply were too many concepts namedropped in succession. That at times turned legitimate curiosity into "I have no idea what this even implies" for me.
Also, events transpired a bit too quickly with fairly sudden jumps back and forth between groups of characters, towards the end especially.

Aside from that, I'd like to see more of Terrax's family and learn about his relationship with Banne. Exactly how do they know each other, is it more complex than a simple old friendship, what's Banne's family like, where did Ren come from, how deep is Terrax's connection with his wife and Ren truly, etc..
One thing you nailed in my opinion is the color palette. I'm not an artist so I lack the vocabulary to explain what it is that makes the colors pleasant to look at, but they are. That and I like your overall style. Characters have clearly defined outlines and sharp corners/edges.

So yeah, I'd read a follow up if you made one. Seeing the more "cramped, shadowed corners of The Cage" sounds pretty cool.

Thanks I really do like Nocturnal's ascetic and I'm exited in developing it more, and the setting is actually what started the creation of the comic as an exercise in world building, rather then a story I really wanted to tell

As for the flow I definitely noticed that, and I can see so clearly how it was so symptomatic from how the comic was made with not having much planning, having to be patched up at the end, a constantly changing story/tone. It's my first real brush with writing and it reads like it, but I feel like I'm getting a hang of it more for the sequel.
