Repetition of plot

[Troy Barnes]

Its a crucial part of the storyline. The mistake a lot of multiverse writers make is that they lack the energy to go back and retrace the original story the multiple times necessary to really keep the readers abreast of the convoluted plot. This is the reason for the repetitions. It shows the author's dedication to the story.

Repetition is needed. It showed where the author fully split off the differences within the universe. This is actually the first kind of book I read about this but I real did love the repetition for once.

It does that of cause, who would hi through that stress unless a dedicated writer. But I don't feel like that is all the repeatition does. Other than show dedication, it shows a well structured world for readers to get immersed in jut as it shows what a writer Adam is; to be so determined to make something as boring as repetition so engaging and portraying it in a not-so-boring way.

I do think it is necessary since were talking about multiverse here. It didn't distracted me and it's something that I almost expect with the theme of the book. Can't say it's my favorite though but other than that, it made the whole thing more convincing for me.

I think the repetition of the plot is necessary for the author to send us the appropriate message about parallel universe. However i skipped the repeated paragraphs just to not waste time.

The repetition to me was relevant and necessary. I believe the author made it that way because of the nature of the storyline or of the book, the repetition helps in carrying me along and I sure did not miss out on any details in the book.

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

The repetition was necessary to build a sort of world or structure for each of the parallel universes so that people could spot the subtle changes in experiences that the different Garys had.

[Dartemis]

I understand why there was repetition, since the characters in the different worlds need to be caught up to speed. However, as the reader who already knows what’s going on, I did find it kinda annoying to be explained the same thing over and over again.

[kdstrack]

I found the repetition to be tedious. Nevertheless, I thought it was necessary to read each worldline to make sure to note any alterations or changes that could be affecting the outcome of that universe.

[Eutoc]

I didn't skip any repetition because I was always expecting something different, though it didn't happen. I don't see the repetitions as a big deal since they were essential to the plot. If you look closely, though, different Garys had almost different ways they appeared in a repetition.

As others have also mentioned in posts above, I too, feel that the repetitions were a vital part of this story, since we are talking multiuniverses, worldliness and variant views. It was needed to further explain the author’s reasoning behind everything else in the book. I kind of just skimmed Ofer a few repetitions, but found them an important element just the same.

The repetitions, i think, were necessary in order to demonstrate how two world-lines might appear different but aren't hugely separate from each other. These repetitions didn't really distract me from the actual plot but they did become mundane sometimes. No, i didn't skip them, i just read them in fast pace.

Repeating the same scenario was the requirement of the plot. Just to make the book shorter the author didn't leave the details. It shows the dedication of the author

[Nancy Morara]

The repetition feels like a de ja vu, and for me the experience is always thrilling. I liked it as it was because the repetition was inevitable considering the theme of the book.

[Arite Seki]

I didn't mind the repetition, I found that it was useful in establishing the scene. I do understand why someone would find it redundant though.
