    I give books I dropped usually another go after a while. Maybe I will have a better time getting into it then. Can I ask you whether or not there will be a more “normal story structure” later on?

      Can you tell me how far you read and what happened? Not very detailed.

      Been a while since I read them and my memory is a bit hazy.

      But there will come a more normal type story that facilitates the worlds happenings.

      It will stay with the financial jargon tho.

      Also, can you tell me how I put spoiler tags in lemmy?

        What I’ve read were almost only setup. Things like “my stand in bought bank X and we wrote it off to insure division Y. Ha, I saved the job of the son of my maid but I need to build up my foreign offshore account to save the economy. I guess I will have them buy up the other bank and have the bad debt moved to the government. Three done. I’m a genius!”. All this is mostly delivered by inner monologue or by the narrator. There were very little character interaction that wasn’t just implied. No dialogue between characters.

        I do spoilers by marking the text in question and then clicking on the little exclamation mark in the triangle in the text field. The syntax written out it looks like this:

        ::: spoiler spoiler
        Text
