MDZS reread, chapters 1 + 2

[gekidasa]

Notes I took while rereading, from the spanish edition. Mostly notes to self, maybe I'll expand on some in a tidier fashion later (the stuff about what is fact, what is supposition, and how the narration doesn't really distinguish).

Notes on chapters 1 + 2

You're making me want to reread too! So interesting that the difference between "what is known vs what is supposition" is made more complicated by the POV itself sliding from limited 3rd person on WWX to omniscient. Like, WWX is very smart and can deduce things, but his info isn't complete and he has his own biases.

It's super interesting and also super frustrating XD

I'm going SUPER SLOW because I keep finding things to check against other translations.

In particular because I'm in the CR flashback right now. Maybe when we're back in the present it'll go faster... when Nie Huaisang and Jiang Cheng are not in the scenes.

Naturally, the best characters get the most scrutiny x)
