When over half of a “chapter” is stats…….

The story is great and all with good writing quality but why does Tristan just keep on losing over and over again. It isnt even that he is personally losing but he is constantly in such frustrating situations and seems to come out of them losing. He is always forced to do whatever everyone else wants as well. His sister controls him enough already but even when he is constantly saying that he will not take orders because of his pride or whatever, tristan still ends up taking orders from others either way. Anyways sorry about the rant that I went on but reading this is just getting too frustrating so I had to vent. Maybe I’ll come back to this story later but for now it is just too infuriating to continue reading this.
