The only interesting plot line in this book was Don Gatelys. If there was an edited version with just his story this book would be 700 pages shorter and 83% better.

843 x 0.83 = 700
843 - 700 = 143

Is anyone else going to object to this? 143 page IJ? Horrible. I'd add 700 pages before I took them off.

brainlet opinion, there are plenty of characters that have a satisfying arc

Chad opinion, most characters are only present to satisfy Wallace's habit of including as much of something as possible

As an experiment, write the shortened version, change the names and publish it on KDP.
