Cnel Fitzwilliam is said to be arriving soon, THEN Darcy goes and writes a letter asking his cousing to please come to London (what??)
Elizabeth significantly remembers telling Jane about some house renovation, Jane says she told Caroline because it was romantic, they are following a thread here… pages later the info comes up in a gossip rag — serious timeline glitch !

The leitmotif of the book is that Lizzy tells Darcy they should face hardship side by side, together. It’s been unnaturally hammered into the story since their courtship. So of course now, a few chapters after the latest repetition, Lizzy randomly decides to flee to Pemberley with Georgiana and abandon Darcy to deal with their troubles on his own, with Cnel Fitzwiliam at best!

Every scene is endlessly rehashed and retold several times every time the next scene unfolds. It’s tiresome, it’s formulaic, it’s word-padding, it’s faux poetic, and VERY irritating!

Daecy is following a boy who is carrying some gossip to the printer; Darcy arrives promptly after the boy, and in some very weird interaction, the printer denies him the handwritten packet (newly arrived) and claims THE GOSSIP RAG WAS ALREADY PRINTED AND DISRIBUTED IN ADVANCED COPIES around London, so he can’t stop the presses for any price now (WHAT?!?!?)
Serious glitch here, there’s no way a human wrote this!

So many little glitches! From a weird timeline setting the wedding date, to time/distance misalignments (an express from London to Longbourn taking 3 days’ time to arrive), and Lizzy signing the chirch register “Elizabeth Darcy” (we expect ladies to sign their maiden name for the last time then, not their new name yet).

Ah! Mr. Bingley already read P&P ahead of arriving in Meryton, I see [ eye roll ]
“Jane has a cold coming on, I think. She sneezed twice at dinner. If Caroline asks her to Netherfield next week, I shall not object. And if her sister walks over to nurse her..."
