What's everybody's feelings about the Palace of Fates arc, now that it's over? I kinda liked it, but it felt very popcorn-filler to me, and the revelations that showed up felt... cheap. Not really how I wanted to find out the answer to the Mother of Graves mystery.

It seems to be a very controversial arc, pretty polarizing.
Personally I am not generally a fan on multiverse/alternate timeline plots so It wasn't my favourite.
It was also incredibly long, and I got worn out reading it without much interludes or breaks visiting other characters.
Although I like finding out about more of the lore and lots of questions being answered, your right that it does feel a little cheap. Too much was answered too quickly I think and most of it was a little underwhelming. The goblin Kings secret, the man on the moon, palace of fates, mother of graves, etc.
Don't get me wrong I think the writing was fantastic, and I applaud Pirateaba for the hard work they put in. It just definitely was not my favourite subject or way to find out about all the secrets being revealed.
The entire arc was pretty tough for me to read as well, as it seemed to me like it was like 50% combat scenes which got a little boring. I like a good combat scene and pirate is very good at making you feel like a part of it, but it got a little tiring with the extent of how much there was.
Oh nice, hopefully we can get an active TWI comm going here on lemmy
Here's hoping, probably unlikely but figured I would go e it a shot. I am not a fan of the chat-type discussion on discord, would be nice to have chapter specific discussions and be able to keep that history for people still catching up.
Yeah, the only regular reason I still lurk reddit right now is for the weekly twi discussion
