🔥 Plot Hole or Master Manipulator? Ferron’s “Convenient” Timing in Ch. 20
🚨 SPOILERS UP TO CHAPTER 20! 🚨
I’m currently on chapter 20 of Alchemised and I seriously need to discuss the logic here.
So, Ferron drops the bomb that Stroud’s "repopulation program" is an absolute joke. He literally calls it a "spectacle," pointing out that she has zero statistics, zero actual info, and knows nothing beyond vivimancy.
Great observation, Ferron. But I have one huge question:
If he knew from the very beginning that this entire program was a sham... why the hell did he actively participate in it? He diligently played his part, slept with Helena, successfully got her pregnant, and ONLY THEN decided to say: "Oh, by the way, I know this whole thing is a spectacle."
Seriously? What incredibly convenient timing!
So, what’s the verdict? Is this a massive plot hole and lazy writing by the author to force a pregnancy trope? Or is Ferron just a top-tier, cold-blooded manipulator who used the fake program as an excuse to get what he wanted?
Let me know your theories below, because right now, I'm questioning everything. 👇
