luminosity of exposed organs - 20.11
Chapter spies the mountain pass through arrow-slit portals, watching for the wrong kind of visitor on the howling ridge, carrying the wrong kind of meat. Woo! Another chapter! Hooray! But also not hooray for Heather because this H o u s e is a bit of a nightmare. If only they could find the true resident amid these flickering walls and hollow windows. And here's that link, as always!

Get him, tentacles! Eat his brain!
Brain investigatin' time!
What's with mages and wanting to become snails?! Also Edward is a confirmed hihikomori. 30 years, dude needs to get out and touch some grass!
Mages always getting weird! Strange relationships with their houses, mobile or not, turning into snails, or sometimes giant headless monsters (is that any better?!) And yes, Edward has been home far too long, perhaps he was hoping to take it with him!
I'm noticing that I'm liking chapters lately less. It feels like we're running in place, and every chapter advances the plot so minimally I don't feel like I want to read it
Thank you for voicing this; I've been really worried about this too and trying to force things ahead a bit faster in order to solve that feeling, at least in the latter half of this chapter specifically; the previous two chapters were too slow, and the first half of this one as well. Many readers often tell me that they enjoy the slower chapters, but I think I've gone too far in that direction and allowed the narrative to 'decompress' too far. I can promise that I'll be trying to correct and accelerate the narrative over the rest of this arc.
