Broo that' s the whole plot and we are here to uncover that only every chapter is about the petrification, future and past we will get it at the end.
this story is so well written that it's unpredictable every damn chapter
I think the plot is interesting and I'm glad to for once have found a story like this that isn't smut.
Luckily I'm stupidly ignorant about Egyptian culture and history so I wouldn't notice any potential blatant misrepresentation if it stared right into my eyes, thus it can't take me out of my immersion and I can just enjoy a refreshingly different setting from the typical western castle fantasy for once.
What really irks me though, is the face of Akination or what he's called, though. His lips just remind me too much of the racist picturing of black folks in history of cartoon and comic. No idea if it's just meant to be a unique character design, since this design was only used specifically on him, I believe, but it still makes me flinch every time I see it again >~<
And I still don't get whether the petrification puzzle has been solved already or not. I get the whole alternate timeline mehemis thing, but is he the one who was a stone statue in Li's timeline? In general I'm always curious about how authors deal with the inevitable time travel paradox, this one being no exception. If the person Li met in the future is current Mehemis, then he will have to become a statue in this timeline, otherwise future Li never would have had a way to know / find him. If it was the previous mehemis/anubis, then it's possible that this time the future changes entirely, but then before getting petrified, the anubis-mehemis would have had no way of meeting Li before his death, as he only met Li in a separate time-line, in his god-form. I hope this part of the plot is gonna get picked up again in some more detail later.
