When does this part end? I've basically checked out since Thomas went off on his side quest. I genuinely do not care about any of this stuff. Supporting characters don't *need* to have their own dedicated arcs. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger never did, and their development never suffered for it. A strong supporting character may not be able to carry their own storyline.
Alright, cool. I try not to complain about the direction an author takes their story unless it doesn't make sense. There was nothing logically wrong with these arcs, so I didn't feel it was my place to speak up. It's kinda gross to me when people watch someone put a bunch of time, effort, and passion into something and respond with, "I'm boooored!"
Random_writer:It's nearly over. Speak up earlier next time so I can gauge if a story segment is boring or not. Feedback is important for just that reason. Come back in two weeks and it should be back to normal.
