When I'm reading a book that's hard to understand, it feels like wandering around the entrance of a cave in an RPG. You can get in, but the enemies are still too strong to beat, so you're just roaming around the vicinity.
you got it all wrong. you shouldn't see them as enemies. they're all whimsical quest givers and shopkeepers giving you the lore of the land. just take the time to absorb their words and see they want to push you forward: but it has to be on their terms. like any other game
