hello friends, im a writer. not published just yet but i am quite good at it, i want to bring light to what teary has been doing. teary has good ideas, creative worlds etc. however, his ability to actually write an interesting story isnt great... he uses a technique that many "good writers" use, it makes you look genius despite actually only having good ideas. this technique makes use of suggestive writing, aka adding stuff that suggests interesting additions to the plot, but only if the fans link those things together. for example, we have reason to believe that the niht are linked with vhidna in some idiosyncratic way, this link made by her wine found in the mines. this Suggests, that she knows more than she leads on, however this may be the case. teary isnt skilled enough to actually link the 2 in a proper way. the fans come up with interesting ideas that are coherent from a narrative perspective, but teary's actual idea is much less interesting. he keeps things vague so that people will make their ideal story within the vagueness, when it actually gets revealed it usually disappointing. based on what ive seen in this thread, im assuming the new update is disappointing from a story perspective.
