i wish i had updated progress more recently than this, but oh well. this one is really fun so far :)
the magic system is *very* soft, but that makes it feel far more like an academic history, which i think it's meant to. the perspective hopping was a little jarring, mostly because i'm not used to exactly this style of narration, but it works well. so many very clear influences, i'm excited to see where this one goes

a pretty wild an unexpected turn in the last few chapters. i am very curious to see how this resolves, cause i thought it was going to look a lot different

i’m having a bit of trouble focusing on this one right now. i’m enjoying it, but every time i go to listen, my mind starts wandering. i’ll probably pick it back up after the will of the many.
