He is immobilized so lets slowly explain why... For once can enemies be treated like enemies? Yeah yeah I get it, they have questions and he has the answers. But this crap where they show kindness to someone who was out to kill them is stupid.
@Akabane When they did they show him kindness? You’re whining about something that never happened. Them explaining what’s happening to him is sorta cliche, but that’s so the readers know what’s happening. That’s still not showing him kindness though. @Stoner Then don’t read it, dumbass.
@liquidsword maybe authors should stop treating readers like retards? Does it matter HOW this dagger was created? No, at least for now that information is useless for readers AND heroes. "show, don't tell" etc. Wish more authors would use this.
This whole chapter was a cliché (sans idea with using the dagger) and yes, it felt boring.
@tikibo Why they don't use the "show, don't tell"... because then they can't fill 20 chapters with 1-3 chapters worth of content.
Whilst world building is important, it's not important enough to force shove it down your (players or) readers throat. (DnD experience)
The style of explaining the items made and breaking them down to their ingredients is pretty consistent with how the story has been told from the beginning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this isn’t the most “new” storyline and yeah it’s a little cliche but I think it’s sweet. It’s fun to follow a hero that isn’t a typical warrior/mage archetype
