Rereading and I was so confused why in the world I didn't give it a 5 stars cause I really liked it so far (atp I forgot the whole story even though it's a reread) then I got to the part with the mf old guy. It just doesn't sit well with me. I can't put it into words of how much it irks and unsettles me. I am no stranger to age gaps that range from normal to concerning (in stories ofc) but this is just...wtf?
I got into rereading this from the author's other story about the dragon and I really liked that one and then noticed that I read one of their other works which was this. While I loved the other work, both of them have the same problem. The pacing is confusing and the timing with the flashbacks makes me feel lost.
