From what I understand people were initially dismissive of Pact saying it was bad (WRONG) but later gave it a reassement saying it was good (CORRECT).

Similarly, I saw folks being dismissive of Pale saying it was bad (WRONG) but one day it may also get a reassessment with people saying it was good actually (WRONG).

#listen i have complicated feelings about it #it feels like many of its fans can't tolerate even light criticisms of the themes and protagonists #and many of its detractors consider it unsalavagable or the parts they say are the bad parts are the parts i find compelling if you #dont interpret the story agreeing with its protagonist or trying to model them as correct and righteous #however i dont even always believe that bc the story feels inconsistent re: many of its more interesting themes #and this is why all this is so frustrating #and then theres the detractors who havent even read it which is annoying but i cant exactly blame them #bc its TOO DAMN LONG #i should probably make all this its own rb post or smthg #anyway #pale #otherverse #wildbow
