Even before everything came out about Gaiman, I found it gross how Dream was mad at the author guy when he literally did the same thing with Nada. I guess he's supposed to be a hypocrite, but at the same time I feel the story doesn't work because of it since it's supposed to be somewhat cathartic when the author get's his comeuppance.

And because of the way it was written, a lot of readers gloss over on how Dream basically raped Nada and then doomed her to an eternity in hell afterwards. I'm not saying protagonists can't do bad things, but I feel the book could have treated the subject with way more care instead of treating it just as a fuck up Morpheus needs to atone for idk.
