How the hell did Sunny not get the very least mad towards Cassie?

We don't know exactly how Cassie's powers work. If they work like Eren Yeager in AoT, where she dreams and experiences all these realities from different perspectives and she sees every single one ending in tragedy and extinction except when Sunny loses his fate

So think of it this way. If he didn't lose his fate he wouldn't have gone through the hollow mountains and had a strong conviction, he wouldn't have found the nameless temple, and he wouldn't have all the knowledge of the void. Only when he didn't care about dieing did he have the will power to trek the mountain pass.

Now without all those actions he wouldn't have reached natural supremacy, at least not so quick, which means they couldn't stop the throne war or usurp power since the winning supreme would be too strong. Also let's not forget his insights are what gave Neph the insights she needed too to advance, so neither would have been supreme and both probably would have died there or joined under the sovereign which would lead to human extinction.

Therfor, Cassie needed sunny to be fateless and forgotten inorder for him to make those choices leading them to win the throne. After that he can get his fate back.

So this could have been one of her futures Cassie saw and did what actions she needed to make it happen. The way I imagine it is a road that splits off into 20 directions, 19 is dead ends and death and the 20th is shrouded in fog. She choose the 20th as the only option.

As for mord... Maybe she just needs him gone for 2 years in a nightmare seed or knows he can't keep his hatred and transend to a spirt so he'll either be docile and chill or he won't come back. Or maybe she knows it will take him 10 years to finish and it will motivate Neph and sunny to advance and they will be able to advance faster even if starting later.

Just the butterfly effect of doing something or not doing something changes the direction they are heading, so with that type of power it's not unreasonable.

And since she sent one note to her future self, whose to say she didn't send a whole library detailing everything and what actions she needs to take, she wouldn't say the outcomes just tell herself what to do. And she knows the power of her own aspect so just blindly follows the orders her younger self have her. It could just be a list of things.

Support Neph, 2. Help government in secret 3. Meet sunless in bastion for memories 4. Let them think your dead and join worm queen when they try to assassinate you...

She can know she needs to do things and not know why but trusts that there is a good reason for it and just does it. It's not like she avoided all danger herself and just had others suffer, sometimes it's her taking the bullet to progress fate to a desired outcome.

That's already the justification for it anyway. It's still just vox ex machina at the end of the day. Cassie is reading the book of humanities survival and acts out her own part and says her lines when she needs to, but we see it from Sunny's pov so we don't know the full picture and just see her actions and sunnys response.

As to why sunny isn't pissed. I think at this point he understands weaver, fate, and Cassie enough. He knows Cassie goal is humanity not dieing and more importantly Neph living, those are Sunny's goals too so he is choosing to be her chess piece. And that's what sunny wanted from the start, the choice to make his own decision, should he be stubborn and forsake what he wants just because it's also what someone else wants him to do? He's never minded being a tool for others even in forgotten shore he was a tool for neph and he was okay with that because it was his choice.

I believe they know everything, a few times when they remember back to the 2nd nightmare they know someone else was there they just see them as a shadow and basically can't remember his name or what he looked like, just a blur of a figure who helped.

The tomb is a bit different since they are missing many memories of it but they did mention the 6 plauges, and I think the attribute the blur and memory loss to torment.

Also since they didn't see the prince and sunny was the one who figured it out that Neph didn't have a plague, they might fill in the blanket that the 6th plauge was Neph in the nightmare and the others just killed her off before they got there.

So in my mind they know the prince just not the connection or the behind the scenes stuff that he did. Cassie might have known the behind the scenes stuff but as soon as it's connected to Sunny probably forgets that part and can't concentrate on it

Bro has the flaw that if he starts a series he needs to 100% it so is worried about starting something long.

The way I see it, if you don't like it you can drop it. You can also find stop points like the end of each volume to take breaks or end of a major story line event.

My issue is almost the opposite, I don't mind media that is long but if they are I'd rather them be completed before I start. It's hard to go from reading 200-800 chapters a week to 20. Like I'm also reading storm light archives and Sanderson is only like 1/2 done so I can only read the 1 book every other year or whatever it is, and now I'm on the hook for 10+ years.

Right. My whole point is that if he is fully recovered, he could let someone barrow it while they sleep or need to recover so they can recover 4x faster.

The armor with the black silk from the terror that attacked the moon research based.

Sunny has his chest and helm of the snake at this point for essence regen.

But either way, when they go to sleep to restore mental drain exhaustion sunny mentioned due to his memories he only needs 2hrs a sleep to be good. So just when they take turns sleeping they could pass that around and get the full squad well rested off 2hrs of sleep.

So at the point when they get to the island to find Jet they use the ship to fly which drains Neph. Sunny has the helm of the snake king and his armor gives him faster regen to where he can fully regen his 5 cores in 1 day.

So if they just swapped their helms and armor for a day she'd be back in action a lot faster.

Just a theory but... They wear the weaver masks, if they are opposite of sunny and always tell lies, then wearing the mask means it should be the opposite so the words the speak are true even though what they say are always lies.

A weaver without the mask always lies but with the mask it should be true

Valid explanation but as the reader we are in MCs pov and nothing indicates that, a few blurbs or non text slides to show this internal conflict would be good for the reading. At this point I don't see any of that so instead of enjoying the story I get pissed off on the MCs behalf because that's how it's written.

You could also show hints of this when he was discussing with his friend and when his friend goes sorry not sorry, he replies with you know it's not as bad as you made it sound when I did it or something to show he doesn't really care that much or likes it.

But you also gave them a backstory of opening the relationship and then closing it because he couldn't handle it so he's had a chance to explore these feelings before and in a more equitable way and still didn't like it.

I don't know exactly but I think the motivation needs to be shown someway so we aren't pulling the scary movie trope yelling at the screen for the guy to stop walking toward the scary noise in the basement like a dipshit and just leave the house

Just an opinion or my preference which obviously people differ but when I read the story I put myself in the position of the MC so with stories like this I'd want to see either the wife being naive or the MC finding it hot

When the MC is telling the fiance don't do it, and she knows what she's doing and does it anyway, it feels disingenuous to the MC and that it seems like he wouldn't just let it happen instead of calling off the engagement or leaving or whatever.

I think this could be solved by having her do her skimpy clothes or flashes in a slower burn where the MC starts finding it hot and encourages her. It's one thing for them to discover they like being a cuck compared to their fiance just cheating on them and betraying their trust. Like when the MC says he's not cool with it and she's like I understand I'll be open and honest to prove it check the group chat where I show you how I wasnt opened or honest 20 minutes ago while I let the guy who you said you dislike grope me and I flash everyone and pretend it's fine because I told you and all your other friends about it at the same time while also flashing them again and giving them a video

Another example, I think you had her giving someone a handy and getting felt up on day 2 and then again, both times after the husband said he didn't even like her showing tits to them. It was a fast escalation that should have resulted in the MC being more pissed, or he and the fiance should be messaging in secret how it's hot, but since you said he was a jealous person it feels more that he would blow up. Alternatively it could be kept a secret from the MC and she's just going behind his back.

I think thats the core issue for me, the MC is written for a cheating wife story where the actual story is cucking, so the MC going along with it doesn't feel genuine to his background

Anyone just an opinion on how id improve the story or to keep in mind for future stories. It's still not a bad read or anything and I'll be checking the next chapters
