I love DCC, despite the Iron Tangle. but Matt did it again…. he connected everything together too well. I spent most of the book thinking “who the f is this”. and “wth is happening ????” he overdid the plot. he used every scrap of every character (literally hundreds of characters). and Charlie’d them all together on a crazy whiteboard.
how do you do this to yourself? Man? you have Us, we love Carl, we love Donut, we love EVERYONE. f u all, you will not break me. WE ARE THERE!
STOP TRYING SO FING HARD! it’s unintelligible. I and many others will need to go watch a hour and a half YouTuber breakdown of all the rat’s nest of convoluted ness.
this is an insidious flaw to have as well, because most people will not say what I’m saying, because it’s admitting they are not 160 IQ with a photographic memory.
I’m telling you… well over 20 hours of the novel, we were lost, if not with what was going on, with who this random character was who appeared for a few pages in a book we read YEARS AGO, it was information overload.
also the levels are now meaningless. unless you have 300 maxed stats, the spellbook bloat has taken away the litrpg aspect of the novels.
stop doing so much research on your stuff. it’s too much. do you want to look smart? or do you want to give Us a good story?
