trucks roommate was right though this does feel a little like homestuck with a graduate degree. the metagame aspects scratch the same itch at least and as a bonus its much less intentionally convoluted and also ive not even been called one slur yet

#h*mestuck isnt HARD to understand its just intentionally muddy because it doesnt want you to understand #it feels like its attacking the reader and that kind of hostile relationship to viewership was thematically appropriate #even if it was also stupid and fucking irritating it created a Vibe and also discouraged you from looking too closely and getting lost in #the weeds #on the other hand the whole POINT of omniscient reader is that its clear - the mc understands with more clarity than anyone the chaos that #surrounds them #so the information is portrayed as simple; matter-of-fact statements and explanations #red.txt #i dont think the narrative structure resembles hs in a way that has been made clear to me yet tho tbh #i wouldnt have drawn mors than a passing parallel had i not had that mentioned to me #also this is pure speculation but i wonder if that clarity of information is going to be subverted later on #i feel like aspects of that idea have sort of danced around but i feel like thatd be a narratively rewarding thing later on
