It happened long before this point, but I've kinda lost interest in this series since its changed its premise from "Game Mechanics As Powers" to "Troubleshooting Arcane Magic Systems Inapplicable In Any Other Context."
I just don't care about the mechanics of these story-specific systems- especially when they tend to be confined to a single fight- and basically have little-to-nothing to do with games or gaming. I'll let a few more chapters build up and binge / skim down the road maybe.
