Thank you for the feedback—I genuinely appreciate that you took the time to read and share your thoughts, even if the experience wasn’t what you hoped for.
You’re absolutely right that the opening chapters set a tone that feels almost grounded, only for the story to launch headfirst into chaos. That shift wasn’t accidental; The Chaotic Scrolls is an absurdist piece by design—intended to parody both the self-serious tone of fantasy epics and the bizarre logic of Skyrim’s game mechanics. Think: “What if a glitchy player character with goblin energy became canon?”
What might feel like “plummeting quality” is, from my end, an escalation of deliberate nonsense: cabbage-based assassinations, sweetroll-based diplomacy, and NPCs having existential crises over stolen buckets. It’s Skyrim through the lens of chaos theory.
That said, I understand how jarring that shift can be, especially if you were hoping for a more traditional arc or character development. Humor—especially absurdist humor—is polarizing by nature, and it won’t land for everyone. But I’m glad the opening pulled you in, and I appreciate you giving the rest a shot, even if the story ultimately wasn’t your cup of mead.
