Look, I have read a few web serials now, I'm not *averse* to overly long serial writing. What I *am* averse to is reading hundreds of pages of material when it seems the author only really had a short story of novella's worth of plot in mind.
I read this book back in middle school for class, and over the long time since those days I have only held onto the plot beats and the vibe. The vibe remains immaculate, and the plot beats (if you just think through them) are flavorful and interesting and good. But you have to wade through alot of what I'd call... kind of inconsequential stuff to get there. That being besides the fact that while many of the characters are interesting, you could go 100 pages without hearing them talk even once, and it really watered down their potential. It just makes it kinda an agonizing experience to read through.
