Oh wow, is the Elf Queen another cold-hearted manipulative woman who is out to betray Carl?

what an incredible surprise

Ominous feelings over and over and over

Bathroom in the hallway joke is very dumb but it is the 2nd time this series has ever made me chuckle.

How many times must we get the AI explaining the same exact thing over and over again?

It sure is irritating how these books actually run from 50% point in one book to the 50% point in the next book making sure that the major arcs never end at the end of a book.

Is there... a big Internet meme making fun of Wonderwall by Oasis? Because this sure wastes a lot of words on hating on Wonderwall by Oasis.

I really have to emphasize: characters telling us this is boring does not make this less boring.

I have to say, this book spends so much time on bullshit in-game narrative that it explicitly tells us doesn't matter. Why? Either make this matter or just... don't

Having a character note that the story is boring does not make it less boring.

Impressive opening that works and pays off on solve stuff and then chapters and chapters of wasting my god damn time. Holy shit, I am begging you, focus, plot relevant stuff, no more gd *lore*. Somehow this section is managing to make me even dislike Donut, which nothing has done thus far.
