Hi! I agree with you about not being overly bothered by overwhelming background information. My exception, however, is the beginning of the story. Describing the lorry accident is necessary, describing they went to lunch at an outside restaurant rather than the school cafeteria is a waste of time. The professor endlessly analyzing the story was not necessary to introduce the Many Worlds Interpretation. It should have been woven into the plot rather than shouting a bunch of information they would repeat multiple times in the first worldline. I am not talking about different worldline repetition, which is necessary to explain new worldlines and their differences/similarities.

I agree. The book was a bit repetitive in regards to background information such as the accident. It was described extensively in the different lines.Reema Aydieh wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 06:43 I did notice that too, I feel like the author could have focused more on the story and how the plot progressed than describing things that didn't move the story forward. Maybe that would've worked if things were equally described to draw readers into the world.
