Names + Continuing Story

I'm only on chapter 42 right now, but can we take a moment to talk about the names?

I find it so funny when authors are very clearly riffing off an existing character from another work, or a real life person. Sometimes it's done well and just kind of fits, but it's extra funny in this story.

The Magic Tower leader of the 7 Magicians is named Gandor or something, very obviously a stand in for Gandalf (LoTR). Didn't bother me, other than being an obvious choice that fits the stereotype Tolkien kind of created or at least expanded upon (An elderly, wise, bearded great sage with magic).

........ And then we have freaking Stein Ein Albert!!! Seriously? Lmao. You didn't even try to hide it
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭


On another note, reading the comments, I'm super nervous about getting to c.126. Pacing issues, skipping over important events and hiding them in the background, lackluster time skips that don't make much sense...
I don't want to invest time into reading up to that point only to find that the author might be giving up on writing a fleshed out story.

So, is it really that bad? Like, can you guys overlook that aspect and still find a good story?
