First major complaint about this volume
The way the last ~10? chapters have been structured have been kind of a mess, specifically all the temporal and POV jumps between chapters since the Seam Walkers first are mentioned
We jump like a month back, go into a tangent with the Hectval war (good arc desu) and a bunch of Terandria chapters that themselves introduce a couple jumps in time that, in my opinion, made that whole part of the story kinda confusing and "clunky"
The big confluence of Wistram, Aliendamus and their Terandrian and Izrilian enemies hit like a wet noodle, even though if it's only supposed to be a prelude to the immortals clashing with them or whatever
Also, Pirate really needs to ease on the deus ex machinas. I can barely take any recent battles or tense events seriously from how much they rely on counter-leveling or random giga auras/abilities coming in clutch out of nowhere
Oh, and now two random Baleros chapters for some reason ffs wrap it up please
