Repetition of plot

[Caroline Anne Richmond]

There was a lot of repetition in the plot which I found to be a little tedious personally. I do think it may be useful to clarify the individual worldline and prevent confusion.

[Black Jewel]

I believe the repetition to be unnecessary, and I will admit that I skipped over it. It came across to me almost like... padding, honestly.

[Troy Barnes]

I appreciated the repetition of the same scenes in the new world as it helped to follow the script and be able to spot the discrepancies between the blue line world and the black line world.

Actually, the repeatition was neccessay. The idea of the multiverse is that everyevent in one is exactlly the same as the other, only the outcome of the event that differs. Repeating the plots, i would say, help to understand the many worlds theory even more.

[Hunter Tester]

I thought that it actually helped, on the contrary. It shows how similar and intertwined they are. If not for the repetition it would’ve been too confusing for me actually.

[Raluca_Mihaila]

I was not bothered by the repetitions because they had a clear purpose: they served to explain the theory of multiverse. Also, that was how the author showed us that some contexts stayed the same, but the protagonists made different choices. I didn't feel that any information was redundant at any point.

I really don't think it was needed. It was really weird revisiting it and ultimately not gathering much from it a second time. It really had a shock factor the first time around, the second time it just seemed tacky in a way.

About it been tacky, yes it did have that effect. But imagine the book without it, would the author be able to drive home his point? And besides, its complexity is kimd of fun.

I noticed this and it was one of the things I liked the least about the book. I would have preferred the author to just make a little reference to the scene, than have the whole thing repeated. I didn't skip them but I thought about doing it.

I'd like to argue they would've been able to drive home the point. They don't need to restate the whole thing again because it's likely the readers would not have forgotten them.

[Vidhi Adhikari]

I wasn't distracted by this. Also, while there were similarities among all Worldlines, I never felt that there was repetition in the depiction of the events. The writing flow was smooth in that sense.

[yomide]

The repetition was unnecessary. I found it annoying at times and time wasting. I ended up being confused more than once.

The confusion i can understand. Time taking? Yes. But unneccassery? I dont think so. If the author didnt make such reapetitions we wouldnt understand the difference between the worldlines.

[Benaron]

I must confess I didn't re-read the paragraphs sometimes when I could see they were the exact same, but that doesn't mean it was unnecessary. Just seeing those same paragraphs added another layer/dimension to the book that otherwise wouldn't have been there.

[Emidio Inocencio]

By being in another reality, I was expecting to the author to come with a person with a totally different life. The similarities let me a bit disappointed.

[KELVIN LANGAT]

It was a significant component. It got exhausting on occasion yet it's fine you know since it showed how associated and comparable they are and just somewhat unique prompting various occasions.

[Troy Barnes]

The repetitions are a necessary aspect of the story as they helped to differentiate between the red, blue and black line Gary so they were no mistakes in their back story.
