I am in Act 4, on... uh... page 3543, I think. In other words, yeah, I have kind of started to meet the trolls. A little. And there have been explanations which, true to my prediction, have only made everything weirder. But they kind of make sense? By which I mean there is an internal logic (...sometimes) to the story, even if it makes no normal sense, and you can get a feel for the story logic as you go even if you don't have all the pieces yet.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go see what Dave means about going back in time and John and Jade dying and seriously, WHAT is going on here???
...After I go back to page 3541 and watch the animation again, because that one's kind of cool. *sheepish*

ETA: Brief note upon reaching the end of Act 4 (i.e. page 3832). John. Bro. Seriously, what the everliving fuck did you just make me watch.
ETA2: Okay, I'm now at the real end of Act 4 (page 3841), which is much cooler (and also direly portentous and so on and so forth), but even so, I am still kind of scarred by page 3831. (Do not go watch it. It's not squicky or anything, but ack, my eyes.)
