A Bridge of Ideas

Your frustration with the repetitive dialogue and lack of plot progression in 'Midnight Sun,' where you noted, 'از 30 درصد اول به بعدش فقط همه دیالوگ ها تکرار میشه و فقط مکان تغییر میکنه و عملا هیچ اتفاق تازه ای نمیفته,' surprisingly illuminates a shared core concern with the very concept of engaging narrative structure that 'A Darker Shade of Magic', despite its entirely different genre, grapples with through its multi-dimensional world-building. You have, in your dissatisfaction with one and your potential engagement with the other (though unrated), revealed a sophisticated appreciation for narrative economy and the momentum of plot development, a deeper connection than a casual glance would suggest.
