Oh, and since I couldn't find any helpful length parameters on the internet, you should be able to read this start to finish in 2-3 hours. The sort of thing I want to send to every person I know because when you experience something this beautiful and enriching we all just want to share. Or maybe I'm just sad that there isn't more.Ī brilliant read. There was a touching meaningful emotional climax of sorts as we see the inevitable conclusions of the effects of immortality on humanity, but the story is abruptly cut off with a laundry list of plot hole fillers, a frustratingly vague and cryptic set of ending lines, and nothing else.
However, this ending felt cheap, rushed, and confusing. I'm fine with experiencing a beautiful moment without a story arc, and I understand the pain and difficulty of ending online multimedia projects through my own experience. You have to stick to a schedule and keep people coming back. And I understand the constraints of serialized online fiction- you just can't cover everything. I adore dot-dot-dot endings, ambiguity, and letting the reader explore. Now, I'm usually a person who's fine with this. You're discovering together with 9, and, once you're done for the day, that's it. This is a work that drops you in without pre-explanation and takes you out without a climax or epilogue. Tempted to take off a star for the ending. I loved every minute I spent in the world of 17776. So many beautiful theories and things that came together and made sense. This is one of those really condensed, beautiful reads that enrich you with SO MUCH while being so accessible.
This is the kind of work, with the kind of thought, weight, and impact, I can only hope to someday be on the creating end of.
