Probably unpopular opinion but this side arc feels like it’s gone on for too long. It feels like it’s been missing its charm of zany poison loving apothecary for a while now. Complex plots with twists are fine but to me it’s feeling rather muddy? Hard to explain and a bit hard to follow now. Rather than increasing intrigue for me I’m just getting bored and I want this part to be over already.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that all these side characters just aren’t compelling (to me). I don’t feel any attachment to them so all these reveals are just like… flavor text in an item description. Or snippet of a story in a random book you find in a video game that has no relevance to the main story so you barely even skim it.
