Thanks for the low tension cliff? A hill?
Can usually get an idea of an arc's theme based on the title, and while the title is understandable, it seems like a lot of things are being thrown at the reader. I suppose, I'm just not a fan of characters like Zaccaronni, so ending with him gave me a bias on the chapter.
Feels like I should count the appearances until he messes something up severely, and likely passes as a result. Arrogant self-serving characters are usually their own foil after all. I'd love to be surprised, so maybe that could happen.
