ya, if all the games were written like the first, I wouldn't have minded reading a whole bunch of them, but imo you dragged out the second game so much. There's no need to take such a drawn out pace in the games! I wana see him reach origin affinity or whatever it's called in my lifetime. I'll be completely honest: my favorite part of the book so far has been the first game, and my least favorite has been the second. I'd love it if you could think how you changed your writing between the two and took steps to stay true to what hooked me to the book.
Although this game was long I feel like its needed to establish a long term goal. Now we have conflict with mastermania, princess bird, the MC Zoe, and many other characters that can evolve in the future. Without that knowledge it would feel like empty rivalries. As a reader I try to understand that this novel has the potential to be a couple thousand chapters long and although we read it chapter by chapter right now, the final product is more important. If we found this novel in a couple years and could binge read this arc I dont think it would feel nearly as drawn out but we're constantly waiting for a new chapter and its impossible to feel satisfied getting the story bit by bit.
I quite understand the people there are complaining that the 2nd game was too long. Normally I like fast-paced novels more, but I also get it that these slow parts are extremely important to any novel!! We need this kind of arc (slow and detailed) to give depth and personality to each character, if not when we reach 1k+ chapters we will be tired sick of the novel. All in all, it has been a pleasant read!
