One can also point to Bridge 4 being the worse because of the "4 Is Death" trope. Basically, in Japanese, how you say 4 is similar to how you say death, so 4 is seen as bad luck over there, and it's a fairly common trope to make something with the number 4 be very deadly.

That is part of it yes. But basically everything in 2 is a reference to Azure.

I should note before you go into 2. A lot of events happening in Azure, the second game of the Crossbell duology, are referenced as a result of the two games happening concurrently and they won't make much sense without playing it. If something is referenced to be going on in Crossbell, then odds are its related to those games. Also the epilogue will mean a lot less if you haven't played Crossbell.

I always forget he's in Ring of Judgement. Then again I dont remember a lot about it Gambler Jack sort of got something in 3rd.

The Trails books are relevant to story things generally. Almost every Trails book, at least prior to 3, is related somehow to story things or likely will relate to story things in the future. For example, the first book in the series, Carnelia, introduces both Toval and his partner Ein, well before they're actually both important. CS1 is the first time we've seen Toval in person, but he was introduced in the first book series we have. Red Moon Rose, this games book, also happens to be incredibly important.

Theory time for Wheel of Time:

Something something won't be used by Aes Sedai

Really? I thought it made sense while I was well into the first book. Way of Kings' prologue confused me more probably on my first read

Well he said Cold Steel. 3rd is really the only exception because you're in a place with no NPCs the whole game.

If you talk to everybody in every game, no, there is no game that cuts down on it.

The joke where Rand, Mat, and Perrin all think that the others are better with girls than they are started out pretty good. Now it's starting to become a bit overused.

I swear that every person who ever plays Trails has technical difficulties with one game and it never comes up ever again. For me, it was CS2 (it just didn't load in models in cutscenes for no reason until I reloaded it was so weird). I've seen people go out of bounds while using the turbo in just a single game, only one game crashing a million times (someone legit dropped one of the games because it crashed at the final boss), its such a weird phenomenon that has been so consistent

Rand, Mat, Perrin, Moiraine, Lan, Egwene, Nynaeve, and maaaaaybe Tam Edit: Also Thom and Padan Fain

Uh I think this is Wheel of Time not Stormlight

I only did Emma's for that one despite doing every other bond event. I liked Emma the best (that's a lie I like Millium best idk why I didn't choose her) and I didnt know choosing nobody would get me Crow and I just sort of didn't want to go through them all.

You know I feel like Brandon was in part inspired by the Aes Sedai when he wrote the Radiant Orders.

Thats very interesting. Moiraine definitely seems like a character that is as important as the TR crew, and Elayne doesn't yet. But I mean, 14 book series. A lot can change from book 3 to book 10 I suppose.

So I have a bit of a theory for the whole of Wheel of Time. I feel like each of the main characters will have a distinct group of people that is, like, their specific enemy. Like they're obviously all enemies, but it'll be more personal for specific characters. My ideas for those at the moment are:

Where are you fighting enemies at? Is it the farthest you can go in the Schoolhouse?

Okay firstly, Scent makes it easier for enemies to notice you so it's a lot harder to sneak up on them. Rean being put in the lead making them run away is, if I recall how CS works correctly, because he can just one shot every enemy meaning he's far more powerful than the rest. And I don't have any idea why Rean should be getting the same amount of experience as everyone else unless you have an experience boost on him. That's never been how Trails works, it's always been the case that higher level party members get less experience and vice versa. I can't really say I noticed anything like that myself

I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. It's not like stories don't work from one perspective, people do it all the time.

He is legit the only perspective for 115 and 3/4 pages. And good, I want Elayne POVs. I like her a lot.

Looks like I spoke too soon.

On Chapter 9 of The Dragon Reborn. I am thus far very surprised that
