All right so I just finished If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe.
And because I originally read John Dies At The End and This Book Is Full Of Spiders years and years ago, (I read What The Hell Did I Just Read earlier this year) I tried to reread them too and... Well I skimmed a more recent edition of the first book (???) and I reread the second book.
Anyway I have some questions. All of the spoilers ahead
1) Why didn't Bas use his wizard powers and kill his dad himself???
Seriously he could very easily make it look like the man died of abrupt organ self destruction?? No suspicion, full life insurance pay out. He killed John by like poking his brain on the inside with a portal? Wtf
2) I have no idea what David is.
I'm having issues reading this 1014 page edition of the first book. Not because of the size but because a lot of it is just unpleasant.
I know he's a copy of Dave from... wait. Pause. Hold the fucking phone
All that time resetting nonsense. Were some timelines human!Dave?
Anyway I don't understand the following about David:
- when did the switch actually happen? When did he kill Human!Dave?
- What... are the copies? I mean, I know they're like, from that we can do whatever to biological things universe but... I can't find any of the beings with the not-pi symbol actually doing anything monstrous? Twice I saw the people in Shit Narnia force people to transform involuntarily. Other than that I have no idea what David is besides a perfect copy of Human David
- is he the batmantis? The end of book 3 and several parts of book 4 are like, trying to go wink wink nudge nudge but I don't trust it. Although I'll admit if he is the entire "go away you stupid fucking animal" thing is hilarious
