Maybe the author sent into their own story’s a classic setup, but I like some of the ways Alfir (or should I say you?) interacts with his world in ways that not all of those story’s protagonists would. Like, pointing out flaws in the world building, or spotting a character that seemingly isn’t all that important before ever coming across one of the more interesting ones. In that way, it’s a more realistic depiction of what would happen in that situation, and this subversive angle seems to influence the entire story, as we see in this chapter as Gavin, just showing up out of nowhere, presumably “completes” Alfir’s mission before he can even get there, lol. Also, the way Gavin’s abilities are visualized is gruesome as hell, I love it.
