I'm kind of annoyed that Linda turned out to be a demon. She seemed to be the character asking the most interesting question and a good counterpoint to Simone. Simone- Doesn't engage because she doesn't think the situation is credible. Has internal motivation, but lacks external. Linda- Doesn't engage because she is lacking the drive to change her own situation. Has external motivation, but lacks internal. The two other jerks who are left seem like woefully uninteresting stock figures taking down some easy (if deserving) targets. I can't really engage with them as people and I'm not really interested in seeing them develop. Maybe I'll be eating my words by the end of the series, but I suspect what will end up happening is that events will push them into the sidelines as we keep the focus on the main cast.

Strom Cuzewon posted:I feel like the suicide door has to reincarnate you. Partly because I never bought into "life only has meaning because it ends" but also because an afterlife that gives you a well earned rest before returning you to your earthly struggles as you ascend to sainthood sounds pretty awesome. "There is a door, and if you enter it you cease to exist." "There is a door, and if you enter it your consciousness is erased and you are given an entirely new physical being, located in a different place with no continuity with your past incarnation." Seems like splitting hairs really.

Humans die, then go through a system of refinement and improvement until they have become the best version of themselves. Then go to a holiday resort for a few thousands years. Then choose to fade into nothingness. What is the point of the afterlife at all? Why not just have humans fade into nothingness when they die? Why not start with the door? Who does all the loving about in the middle actually help?
