i've held back the bulk of my criticisms until now because i'm certain most of them are spurred by me being unreasonably mean but the same issue is popping up so much i think i can solidly say it's the writing and not my bias: worldbuilding is so-so. literally every time a new word is used, it launches into an explanation that feels loose and clunky
