I hate this book.

Why was there a WHOLE CHAPTER on the interaction between Parzival and Shoto??? This entire chapter was so useless and unnecessary, it feels like Cline is geeksplaining everything. Insufferable. I don’t think I can finish this.

Reading chapter 20 was SUCH a waste of my time, all that information about the two Japanese characters was so unnecessary and unimportant to the plot, when the whole point of the chapter was that Artemis had found the jade key. That’s it. Why drag the chapter out?

Over halfway into the book but there’s still so much plot building, and explanations, and descriptions and I am so oversaturated.

1/3 into the book and it’s finally progressed past unnecessary detailed descriptions of video games to the rising action of the plot
