10/10. The consequences of perennialism on the human psyche were always catastrophical. Turning "THE END" into that catastrophe is what makes C0DA perfect.
As a massive fan of the more alien parts of TES lore, I felt like C0DA was right up my alley. While at times it can be fairly confusing with the sheer amount of interpretations. One detail that I particularly loved is the importance of Lorkhan within the story, showing how the original creator of Mundus in the current Kalpa oversaw the creation of a new world, via Juba (or his child) achieving Amaranth.
Even though it’s not canon, it’s incredibly interesting to see some of the larger metaphysical implications that were originally created for the Elder Scrolls universe. I read it every year or so, and I will likely continue to do so.

genuinely the worst short story i've ever read. the prose is shocking, absolutely abysmally horrid, and the characters are fucking annoying. the plot is a totally non sensical mess, the jumping around time is nauseating, the way the story insists you know a thousand other things without due explanation is genuinely tiring, and the dialogue is written so poorly that it is almost impossible to decipher what is being said and implied at any given time. only saving grace is that the artists work was beautiful and intricate and well made and interesting.
