Chrono being strands of gold makes me curious of some world cross over.

It did cross my mind that this creation governing system sure does like conflict, seeing people react and grow and struggle definitely reminds me of a former ghoul. The only thing missing everyone isn’t either Shiv or an Orc if death had already been usurped completely I would have said this is Avo’s paradise with it being the neutral governing system that just holds things together and encourages “interactions” .

Damn I love literally everything else about this story, but Uva is just too much for me now. She has blitzed past the "kill on principle" threshold; she's worse than the Jealousy by a mile. That shield is repugnant. She is also literally everything Shiv hates, so its jarring when he is turned on by his girlfriend mindraping and puppeting people. Those dragons definitely did not deserve their fate either.

Shiv is pretty clearly biased to see his actions and the actions of those close to him as justified, but there is a pretty big difference between what Uva is doing and what Shivs abusers did. The people who beat and mistreated Shiv, in Shiv's eyes at least, were powerful cowards brutalizing a Pathless child to feel better about being mistreated by those stronger than them. They were bullies, and to him slavers are just bullies on a larger scale. Uva is certainly not targeting the weak and the Knights were aiding their enemy in a budding war. This is a battle with no innocents in sight. I find the mind rape and ego death disgusting myself, but pretty much every chapter has Shiv gleefully murdering people in ever increasingly inventive and horrifying ways. And she certainly didn't take the time to savor their fear and horror like the Jealousy would have, she take no joy in the act of crushing a mind like it did. The shield is really gross though, holy shit, a bundle of shards by the shattered remnants of your mind-broken enemies that begs you to not break it further. That some seriously evil stuff, the system is definitely the most twisted fucker in this story. Valor the Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer is back to profaning the dead too. It's literally what Uva did but instead of using the dragon as a flesh puppet he had it suicide bomb his friends. Did you find that equally repugnant?

Boyo

I did-in fact-find it equally repugnant.

Yeah, I'm with you on this one. Had to stop halfway through the chapter to come to the comments to see if others felt the same way. This is someone that was very worried about psychometry. Yes, they are together now but things could always go wrong in the future. I thought when Adam realised that, it would be something that is built upon. But he easily got appeased by her assurance. The only thing stopping her from wiping their mind or changing them without them noticing is only her word. And things could always go wrong in the future. I don't know if this is related to when Shiv was remembering details wrongly, perhaps there's more to that story.

Her power makes any form of trust impossible.
