This and My Ignorance of a World Yet Unknown back to back is numbing. They go on these long hiatuses then come back with these "zinger" chapters that just change everything instantaneously after we've lost all that momentum from the hiatus. I honestly don't know how to feel. My Ignorance makes me want to feel sad or upset, and this feels melancholic but happy, yet I'm just kinda eh about both. Like, why should I care? I lost all that emotional attachment. Maybe I should just reread, but the chapters don't feel satisfying. My Ignorance just makes me angry 'cause it's a Hans-level plot-hole, and this is just synthetic tension that leads nowhere. What's next, is Prism suddenly gonna come lurching from the abyss? (I know that was cancelled, but you know what I'm saying)
