I agree, this update has potential to be perfectly fine in retrospect depending on how the next couple of updates go, very excited to see Sel cook in his element. However, I feel like I've seen people call the last couple of updates "setup updates." What exactly are these updates setting up for? The relative meandering of chapter 4 compared to the rest of the story calls into question the overall direction, meaning, and signifigance of the story as a whole. If the other chapters were like this throughout, you wouldn't have calls of people saying characters are acting out of character, for a example. Not just the length, but the recent pacing has been off, for lack of a better word.
