Hey all, I’m back with the fourth entry in Jia and Eui’s adventures for this week’s Bookish Wednesday. It’s “Fates Parallel Volume 04” by Dark Technomancer. Plot: This volume starts off with a bit of a time skip after the fallout at the end of the third volume, which makes sense given where Jia and Eui ended up. Still, we get to see Jia and Eui’s growth over the time skip of a couple years, and how much the world changed afterwards.

Videogames, at least the kind I’m talking about (RPGs, adventure kinds of somewhat narrative videogames, Zelda games, Elden Ring, etc), have essentially three “places”: Outside – Hyrule field. Most of the game is Outside, just running around in a grassy area or a snowy mountain. It’s kind of the glue between all of the elements but there can be all manner of things Outside.
