I just finished From the New World. I thought it was really good, especially the world-building and how everything that was introduced was examined in terms of their logical consequences. The characters were good too, of course, but this was definitely a story where the setting took center stage and I enjoyed seeing it expanded on and explored.

It was just super interesting seeing the kind of paranoid society that arose in order to survive the sudden appearance of psychic powers. Like, there are settings like My Hero Academia where the world somehow stays recognizable despite almost everyone having some random, potentially destructive super-power, but FtNW's setting is probably the more realistic outcome of such crazy evolution. There were a lot of grim decisions made to prevent danger from arising, and by the end I had a hard time arguing against the necessity of most of them. I hope Saki managed to create a better world in the end but I have a hard time imagining how she might've done it.
