But also the primary issue, at least in my opinion, is that an opportunity for character growth is cast aside.
So Gjord's obsessive and horny and in love. That's all cute and fine. Problem is, it's not as though he's like that 100% of the time—he's also caring and protective! At this moment in the story, it would make sense to show some more facets of his character, but instead we get...this.
Sylhan literally goes from taking Lister's shit talk to trying to stab him for it. It's not like the author doesn't know what character development is. Apparently Gjord doesn't get to have any :)
Gjord really must have been under the influence of “dark powers” or something, we clearly see it in the last chapter.
Rollercoaster of emotions ass chapter. A time and a place author. Why is there heavy shit in my smut and smut in the heavy shit. It doesn't give anything the proper attention it deserves.
