I alone practically did not understand anything? This plot twist is so unexpected that it is, to put it mildly, deafening. What the heck? Where did the completely normal and consistent narrative go? Why out of nowhere is this Aldebaran Deus ex machina? WTF? In truth, I hardly tolerate his presence at all. Listen to the author, I like the story, but only when it comes from the side of the Archmage. I love his sense of control and power. I like how he reacts and interacts with the world. Alas, but other characters ... Well, to put it mildly, they are not interesting. I just can't find one reason to care about them other than Nixie.
wait, why of all characters nixie? lmao. i dont really see how it's a plot twist or a deus ex machina whatsoever, either. like seriously please respond and tell me what you think is a plot twist here. i can respect not liking aldebaran as a character i suppose, although i disagree. like how is *he* the deus ex machina when you yourself admit that baldur is power fantasy incarnate? if anything aldebaran takes the perspective of baldur w/o the powers; they were both mages on azum but one is recovering well and the other isnt.
