current frontline: 171/209 - chapter 18
-- yes, there's another additional page due to the transition required from their talk with the minister of Home Affairs to the one with the not-so-well-disguised emperor.
Chapter 18 was one of the most worrisome; even as it is it's one of the biggest chapters, both in length as well as in content, and still it felt "clunky". A couple of things could be easily resolved by a few descriptive words or in one case even taking a step back and replacing five lines of repetitive dialogue with a short single sentence about what's going on, thus maintaining the initial speed of events. Still, some transitions just required additional stuff, like the scene above. Then the chapter *is* longer than average. So be it.
