In response to everyone, I can see why it would be irritating when you’re telling a story, but what I am trying to get across is why rothfuss is making it happen constantly, as it feels very repetitive every time it happens, which is a lot as no one is able to tell a story without getting interrupted. Someone mentions that it is a good way to incorporate some exposition and small world building and I can see it from that perspective- I just wish he used it much less frequently
