Meh, it probably just feels that way cause we're reading it one chapter at a time. It's only been 5 ch. so far and seems to be wrapping up, so out of the 50 so ch. out so far, and the assumed many more to come, it's not that bad
The warrior/paladin and the mage are bootstrapping each other in time. Elsa gets Yvonne free of the game, sends her back to rescue Elsa and train her, meanwhile Yvonne trained herself up to rescue Elsa, who trains herself up to rescue Yvonne, who breaks free of the game so as not to harm Elsa, who ...
this whole arc feels like the author suddenly decided they would rather be writing a different series. i cannot wait until we get back to things that matter

Why would you think their first meeting doesn't matter, especially after all the times it's been hinted to be the reason Elsa considers Evie her destined soulmate?

I agree. Whole thing's become like a Rorschach test, at this point.

their first meeting doesn't matter because we've already seen every other part of their relationship including the part where they fuck. this relationship has had enough progression that we don't need to draw things out and take 20 steps backwards. let's see them move on as a couple rather than start walking backwards

It does matter, though, as Evie still has no idea what happened (or will happen, from her point of view). Only understanding the events of the past she's about to cause will she really understand Elsa and be able to "move on as a couple", as you requested.
Have we discussed how pretty Yvonne's mother is?
I-I just thought that was a very important plot point, dare I say - maybe the most central plot element.
I could be wrong though.

Agreed. This is an adventure story, it's not just a romance. It's not focused on just having them do couple things. It's telling a story beyond that as well.
As for this chapter: Awesome. So it is like I thought: a fixed moment in time (Doctor Who) style. She has a lot of free reign to do as she likes but has "protection" should she take it too far. Should be interesting. I really like all of this expansion of the story and world. As for Elsa, she had a really bad upbringing. Hopefully something can be done about these traffickers but that might not be within the bounds of the timeline balance. It'll be interesting to see the moments when Evie's desires to solve issues conflict with the ring's destabalization warnings.
Guess we now know how her family ended up sponsoring an orphanage but damn I would not want to be the person to explain to her father what she did lol can you imagine
Linda got some fast talking to do when they get back
Evie: "I bought all those kids for nothing! And I wonder if I set up my family's downfall later."
They got convicted for treason in the exile ending but yeah I wonder if this is what laid the groundwork for it
Eh, I'd expect Evie's group to use this as evidence to get rid of this bastard of a count next. Although I guess it could make them some enemies among his friends and customers as well...
Um, hang on a moment. Evie's currently rescuing Elsa from imminent death from exposure. Which, the previous version wouldn't have done, would she? Would she have even been on the scene? So, why was Elsa alive in the original timeline?
I know, I know, don't sweat the small time paradoxes.
