I've noticed that the story in JtRH, although ubiquitous in
the beginning, starts to fade away later.
It might return towards the end, but I found it rather slow,
save for the occasional one-liners.
Don't get me wrong, I love JtRH, but this is just something I'd like to see improved in TCB.

P. S.
It's technically more general advice than a feature request,
so that's why it's here.

Well, that's enough negativity from me.

How far are you along in JtRH?

You're right, overall, that the story is more obvious early on. But later on, there are some secret rooms in which the story is developed, and you might have missed those. And the endgame is quite story-heavy.

But yeah, story pacing is far from perfect in JtRH. Hopefully, the right lessons have been learnt and it will be better in TCB.

I'm about halfway through L20.
