Sorry if I sounded cranky. Anything can be criticised and I'm no one to tell otherwise. It pisses me off (and that's another matter) that lately there are more and more people making noise and whining for logical or plausible things in the narrative or characters even in the first chapter, without even letting the author any space to develop it.

I think the author is establishing that this kind of teasing is one of the constants we'll find in this work. Could it be done differentely? Sure. Could it be better? Also sure. But I don't think is a bad thing. It's like a first "mini arc" centered in attacking the MC with a full barrage of teasing. Just my opinion, of course.
I always read your comments and usually agree with you.
