the setting and plot are so convulutedly complicated by the end I was just like whatever man I’m enjoying the ride but I have no idea what’s going on. the setting has like a dozen locations that are similar like trainyards switching stations numbered stations station 72 station 75 station 435 etc it hops between woth multiple groups and talks about so much that I was so cunfused where everyone was by halfway I just stopped trying to understand. the author needs to take time to slowly amd better explain what is happening meta wise. he gets lost a bit in the details and never takes a step back. like by halfway I was like how much time do they have left? where ar they? where do they need to go? how do they get there? like it didn’t need to be so complicated
