Something blue: update the first

[fred_mouse]

Only a little later than planned, but at least it is still the weekend :)

Have you read anything you want to talk about this week? Bonus points for if it matches the theme!

Do you reckon the clunky is the original story, the translation, something else?

I don't think the translation is doing it any favors, but when the story has a couple hundred pages of backstory, maybe a hundred in the present, and then another hundred of backstory, it... just feels a little clunky and disjointed. I'm not sure if there's a better way to tell the story, unfortunately. (And also, it was originally a serialized webnovel, so told in chunks over time and where length sometimes beats out pacing.)
