If you wanna train in sneaking, the khajiit with steel armor that runs with Ri'saad (the one that visits Whiterun) can help you with that. Delvin Mallory of the Thieves Guild is also an eligible trainer, if you join the Guild first. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, I'll admit it derives heavy inspiration from the traditional assassin (as I'm relatively inexperienced in writing builds, and am accustomed to playing as stealthy-type characters, naturally it's gonna be somewhat predictable). But I chose to switch it up a bit by not only emphasizing up-close combat, but also enhancing the intensity by forbidding any kind of defense in the event of a mistake. Therefore the player is encouraged to think through his or her approach to a given situation, or else die a quick and painful death.
Concerning special moves.... eh, yeah. That was more or less an experimental addition. Wanted to see what I could bring to the table in that regard, if anything.
Thank you for the well-thought-out criticism! Comments like yours are sure to help improve my contributions to the site.

I thank you, sir. To be honest I think my better contributions to the site are my blog posts; fiction is where my writing shines. But I'll definitely try writing some more builds in the future! Have a good day, sir.

The other nice thing is, it's probably fine to have "derived" builds. A build that's carefully put together and well thought out deserves to be free of the Bloodworks, and I think there's space for more than one of any given build, if they're made with this level of care. After all, it's the very risk we took with the Classes event. It could just as easily have turned out half a dozen identical builds, but sometimes that's helpful. One narrative style might suit a member better than another.

And this is definitely a "derived" build. But I'm glad it's been so well-received, not to mention well-analyzed. I'm hoping to put together more varied builds in the future, but not often; as I mentioned above, fiction's my specialty.
