Dramatis Personae And Their Allegiances as of Act II:

<snip>

Thanks for the score card, but Benten, Oyuki, Serenity, Pluto, and the
Tenchi characters are *still* the only ones I've ever heard of, they're
outnumbered 2:1 by the other, author-created characters, and they other
characters are the ones with the storyline that the reader is supposed to
follow.  Making it *really* difficult for me to follow it (and I suspect
I'm not the only one)

I had a similar problem with the Akane story - Akane may have been
narrating, but the story revolved around a bunch of people I knew nothing
about (being author creations) and have nothing invested in and no interest
in. I spent lots of time skimming, waiting for someone I knew to show up,
before I finally gave that story up completely.

I guess I think maybe this storyline is getting way out of hand.....
