Apparently it's a universal requirement of priest novels that one of the main characters has to be The Most Annoying Man Alive
#tho spl is the first time I've found the most annoying man alive actually annoying#reading about xp driving everyone around him bonkers in ts is a blast#and watchjng fd drive lwz up the wall in md was also always a lot of fun#but GY in spl is legitimately frustrating me a bit#he's funny. but he's SO bad at dealing with others' feelings in a way that's a bit frustrating to read#you can't buy a freshly traumatized teenager's love with gifts dude#anyway I'm finishing vol 1 of spl since I paid for it#but it's uhhh. still gross tbh#at least they've stoped being actively heinously racist for a while (since there stopped being scenes with 'barbarians')#but it's also. like. REALLY fatphobic w how cg's friend is depicted#I find cg's setup as a character pretty compelling#young miserable disillusioned and burdened with the idea that he's cursed to go mad with bloodlust#I like that#and the xianxia mech thing is legitimately very cool#but those two points of investment and enjoyment are carrying me through a book that I otherwise find kinda gross in a lot of ways#andie reads spl
