The Fractured Tower- Chapter 64

Comments

It doesn’t make sense that the hellions are this competent, specially figuring out his teleport ability, at least not so fast.

Also, so far the union has only been portrayed as slimy/scummy, so if the Black Hellions are actually the rulers of the underworld it doesn’t make any sense that they would have to bribe the Union and not already have a contract set up.

I would also love some more build up before this reveal. Maybe there could be an interlude where the mysterious “Black Hellion himself” takes specific notice of Sorin and decides to do something about it. Like the others have said, right now it’s a pretty jarring shift.

Not to mention raping and killing the union worker being too much. Darker vibe than the story has had up to now that doesn't necessarily fit.

I’m not a huge fan of the mysterious reveal of competence from the hellions- that all along the goal was to get Sorin to confirm Liminal Gateway. It doesn’t square with Jorn’s activity at all. And if this is an emergent goal from after Jorn’s death well… that’s just way too fast/tight. On the scale of communication and organization we’ve seen from society so far this would take great dedication, sensitivity, paranoia, and prearranged contingency. Or maybe a soul print of Deus Ex Machina. Ideally a novel development feels like a reveal- something can feel surprising and inevitable at the same time. This one has rough edges to be sanded off.

Not abused .. she was immediately killed with a poison needle

Something tells me the boss is a person who has completed the tower at another tower. Not one of Sorin’s friends cos they probably wouldn’t have set up a criminal enterprise. Plus if they were all in his group my head canon theory is his team all got sent to different towers. So this black hellion guy can’t be someone he knows :)

Gah. dramatic irony. I hate it! How could Sorin be so stupid?!! Ahhhh this is awful… and his poor decision making means the girl is dead. Probably abused first as well. If he’d just gone all out and attacked them he could’ve prevented it 😢 TFTC!

Tommy

Thx for the chapter :D

Honestly, this chapter leaves some sour taste in the mouth The fact that some boss of a little, as it is currently presented, gang knows about the Liminal Gateway and the fact that it was deduced from just Sorin being a powerful no-name It kinda implies that the boss is aware of the reward for completing (of failing?) the last tower level, or there is some other big power at play And it all happened rather too quickly, in like 3-4 chapters

Ah there are others who did what Sorin did. Which is going to make it impossible for Sorin to go back to Floor 0 without being captured. Nice way to add that complication
