Einlion
it is a little hard to come back to this story after so many breaks and have the focus be on characters we barely knew in the first place let alone remember after so much time away. I'm still interested of course since the writing is great as usual, but at this point it just feels like I'm only waiting for the ethereal queen reveal rather than any actual investment in this...tournament? Competition? Game? Yeah, this gift game. Idk guess I just miss some of the empire's characters that we haven't seen in a while.
As someone who got into this story fairly recently and read through it rapidly, I really want to know how it will end so I'm hoping ein will return to it at some point soon and focus on it for a month or two to try to wrap things up. I've also enjoyed the BNHA story they've written since this chapter but this is the story that got me into their writing.
