Sweet - name-calling :)
By the way, when I say I cheated, I mean that I checked every game mechanics, and I didn't change just shards or exp. It's much more complex than that. But yeah, I did everything and even more. Still boring.
Also, it was my last resort, as I usually avoid cheating, but because I didn't get far in 10 days, I needed to check if it was a time sink. Spoilers! (it was).
ANd I do hope most people will pass it, and my judgment isn't harsh -- just honest. I even defended the author in prior comments, and my position didn't change - I have nothing against him, but the game is horrid.
