Atp I think I trust this author enough to handle a high stakes plot... but honestly it still bothers me when plots get this complicated this late in the run. The world tree was already pushing it for me, but this season ending felt straight out of a different genre. I just wanted to see Phil learn to love and trust those around her, man, why we gotta stick a game system and deities in there too...
But, well, I really like the storytelling here, so I do trust this isn't going to plummet in quality altogether-- buut I do fear it might take a toll on the emotional development of the characters.
This has zero plot. Even when stuff happens, it feels like nothing changed. Genuinely who the fuck thought this was good enough to be published
