The very best of AK's events are usually ones where there are only a few characters (Twilight of Wolumonde) or ones where there are a lot of characters but the focus is tighter (Dorothy's Vision).

Overall, an okay event.
4/4

However, Lin's detective role can be covered by Lee. Du Yaoye's role is padding. Qiubai's arc is done in a few lines. Ch'en's presence (as Deus Ex Machina) is HG's Nth attempt at shoving her into people's faces, despite being as uninteresting as beige paint. 3/4

It's great that the Sui plot is coming to a head in the Yan capital.
Jieyun's journey is noble and heroic.
Huai's achievement is less impressive in light that he's a deadbeat dad.
Shuo's choice is an implicit admission of his love for humanity. 2/4

"Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow" is a skillful demonstration that shows that the solution to a paper-thin plot (with a decent emotional core), is to stuff it full of characters with redundant roles. 1/4

@Umber_man Life is funny sometimes. We can trace our decisions but it can't exactly tell us how we ended up here and now. We can wish for something better, but that's the hindsight talking. We just do our best with what we have and hope the wind blows our way.

Cheers, mate.

@LBomgos Ultimately, I don't want HG to weaken the writing (Subtlety is nice sometimes). And while we can't expect people to see a character a certain way, AK attracts a lot of other people who can see things differently. (4/4)

In a small way, it's also darkly curious, when you consider this is an event about an ethnic minority being persecuted by an established hegemon through physical violence, seizure of private property, and erasure of culture.

When you know, you know.

I'm especially annoyed that they turned Fionn, named after a mythical Irish Hero (Fionn mac Cumhaill), into a weak, whimpering little milksop without a story arc, intended only as a victim:

It exists as a poor prologue, and is intended to create sympathy for the Taran people, to discuss how culture and nationality is weaponized, while insisting on a moral equivalency (or at least a parallel) in the motives of Reed and Eblana.
