- But Azhure doesn't do "selfless". She's an incredibly selfish person, as will be made clearer later on.

I'm starting to think that's true of pretty much every character in this book. To varying degrees, to be sure, but I can't think of a single instance of genuine selflessness so far.

- And this is far from the only example. Later on we have at least TWO examples of someone starting to run away only for a random "rabbit burrow" to appear right under her foot.

I...I can't even. This is The Big Book of Plot Contrivances, and nothing will convince me otherwise.

- The armies in this thing are ultimately 100% irrelevant and who wins just comes down to which single character has the most shiny power-ups. Wait, that sounds familiar somehow.

You mean like every single author-favored badfic character ever?
