Why two chapters today again ? Because I feel like it and also because I'm reading a bit faster as of late and that these chapters do not have much things for me to talk about that in depth about. I find those chapters incredibly dull despite the action-packed nature of them and I could really do without some of the usual tiresome tropes. I think I grew dull to most thing in PH and since Project Eternity doesn't interest me, I do feel a bit... bored, I do admit.

Let's go !

I find myself in a strange situation where I have read two chapters but I don't think I have anything of substance to say because they almost solely were action-based. So let me change the format for this double BP and let us talk about a couple of things : "Why do PH fights bore me ?", "Why do I say that they are stakeless ?" and some little details coming from the chapters themselves in order to keep you up to speed with the recent developments.

Let's go !

A middle of the road chapter, nothing much to say about it since it does seem to be more of a filler chapter. It does have moments of utter stupidity of course but I don't think that it's a bad chapter. Just not something I'll remember that much in the long run and so I'll try to focus on the things that are important.

This couple of chapters are... interesting to say the least. Interesting in the sense that, while I do not mind chapter 43 despite its dispensable nature, I absolutely am baffled by 44. The former gives an interesting look into the mind of Somber and Blackjack in the sense that it allows for me to make sure that he is aware of what people says about his hero (even if I regret that this chapter will ultimately lead nowhere). The latter however feels like... a X.5 chapter, in the sense that it

A double blogpost as per usual of Sundays for me but honestly I don't think I have that much to say about those chapters because they are not that interesting nor that problematic. Chapter 42 for example is an extremely long fight sequence with characters that couldn't be less forgettable if they tried and more glorification of BJ invincible nature. The only thing I'd say would be of note is the end of chapter 42 but it is clear what it is and I don't like it. The Evil Star God shouldn't have

And so I reach the halfway point in terms of chapters. This chapter is not a bad one, hell I would even go as far that it allows for a bit of a reconciliation between me and certain characters. I don't think they are god awful (except BJ and GB, they can burn) but I always was disappointed in P-21 never adressing the death of his lover more than in passing. Glory also disappointed me in just being BJ's supporter and not much else. This chapter makes them have some real personality and some

So, this chapter does explain a lot of things. Some things are still as stupid as ever and some other are a bit different than I thought they would be. Also, and I am guilty of all charges, the whole fight sequence near the end is something that I had a really hard time to go through. It was too long and my eyes just glossed over what is essentially just another thrill ride for BJ but something that does wear down pretty quickly.

This chapter was mostly fine until... the end that infuriates me on so many level that I think I'll have to explain, as usual, in details why what Somber tried to do failed. I do consider there's such a thing as going to far and being beyond redemption. It is something I need to discuss here. As for the rest of the chapter... Well, let us review it.

This chapter feels like business as usual. BJ fucked up so she angst. BJ's motto is "I angst therefore I am" and it is getting kind of repetitive. It's always the same thing, she'll beat herself up and then she'll be fine in a matter of hours. This character is stuck in a loop and we're almost 700K words in. I'm willing to wait a long time but I don't have much hope that this character will become something else even if I'm not at the halfway point yet.

I don't know how to summarize my thoughts regarding those two chapters. Do they have bad elements ? Most certainly. Do they have stupid elements that pissed me off to no ends ? Of course. Do they have some scenes that made me smile genuinely ? Few and far between but yes, they were there. It is a complicated thing but you'll see that, as per usual, the goods are swarmed by the bads and I honestly wish that it wouldn't be so.

Let's go !
