If it was another story I would say readers should be surprised but we all know shit is coming !
I don’t know what purpose the author has but if it’s ruining the mood of the readers or slap BJ Alex fans in the face, it is perfectly done ! I think the real problem lies where all we, actual readers, can’t stop reading even if the story is real shit. If we all decide to drop this and not come to even just pick an eye on updates maybe the author will have to change the story or stop it. So we have to be strong enough to not come see the following chapters till the author beg us to read it again ! But know I’m dreaming. I’m not sure I can even keep my words. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
