Presenting information outside of the narrative like this is both lazy and impractical. Having it here rather than within the text does away with exposition completely, and sends the reader outside the story in order to understand it. This places the reader next to the proverbial hard place, choosing between engagement or comprehension. It also appears to be the case that the author is under the impression that having multiple arbitrary titles of conflicting stature is a positive, rather than what it actually is, unnecessarily convoluted. Without context nor a reason for these terms inclusion, going through the rigmarole of establishing all this becomes a pointless effort. Even worse is that each only raises more questions than they answer - we have no information on how such titles are assigned, nor how the interplay with each other. Though plenty information is frontloaded, the reader is left just as lost as they were earlier. But what speaks to a lack of thought the most is the sheer inconsistency in this section. A sequence of metals (two of which are grossly unoriginal) switches to a colour and then random words for no good reason, while the equivalent titles switch from "Class --" to "-- Beast." There is no apparent logic behind any of this. Taken altogether, this entire chapter could be cut entirely with no ill effects, and the information within, once rectified to be actually meaningful, given later, once actually relevant.
