Pacing

Still waiting for the chapter to come out free but anyone else see the word "interlude" and groan at the pacing? Right now Erin's story feels like it's in a holding pattern, the inn is ahead in the timeline, and the horns are mostly just hanging out before they move on. The POVs I feel will move things forward are Rabbiteater/Seraphel as the Hareld is tracking them down, Nerin as opening that city will have consequences, and Niers can intersect with either of them. I find Liska a fun character but after the Silver Swords made tracking the timeline hard I want to see the story move forward to definitively smooth out timeline issues

Internet connection?

So now that the grand design fully knows about earth to the point it can give classes like digital artist the moment someone shows up how likely are we to see someone get a skill that allows an active internet connection?

Anyone else feel we could have gotten something better thsn Stitchfolk or Lizardfolk? (Spiderfolk too btw). It's a name for species that just shouts to me "your species was named by something else and you use their word like a specimen"

I've read a lot of LITRPGs and I like that old people in the Wandering in actually feel like the years have passed. For example in the latest path of ascension book the characters are like 500 years old but they still act like they're 25

Sometimes characters say something, smart competent and powerful characters, that makes it seem like they forgot how leveling works. Flos dismissing guns cause he can shut off combustion and Magnolia treating guns like just another weapon are one big example I can think of. Guns can be enchanted to make interference harder and skills would come to exist for specific types of guns

Another big example was the creation of the bloodbank. They looked at the number of blood types and called it "not practical but a useful thing to have" I look at the issue and my thought is they need to train blood healers. Skills tend to deal with need, desire, experience, and deed (even more so for capstones). Train blood healers and I expect skills that would create more blood than you draw, purify blood, or allow blood types to change

In addition in feudal countries with leveling I would expect to see lords/ladies designed from birth to either fix an issue or embody a specialization. From what we've seen that appears to be the exception, not the rule. Like with the blood banks if I were a King I'd go to one of my nobles and tell them to have a kid raising them as a lord/lady of blood healing. For how much freedom characters appear to have they sure like to mock democracy a lot, makes it easy when the biggest difference appears to be taxes. A king ordering a noble something like that makes sense but a democracy ordering something like that sounds silly

So I've seen a lot of people not like PoF but even still there are good parts. I'm curious what everyone's favorite part is. For me it would be when the Goblin King punches himself and Silass straight stops what he's doing to look at the Inn bewildered
