This book has been on my to read for so long ever since I read a Zhongli and Childe fic featuring the shop and the forgetting wine but I never got around to it until listening to your audiobook XDD Love the voices for everyone, especially the acting for the shopkeeper's role. And damn I didn't know Visions were cast in this sort of light so early on! It's always so cool to look back and find such hints and tidbits in older stuff. This really brightened up a dreary commute to work. Thank you for this lovely vid!
Now THIS hits different. A kitsune owns a shop that offers everything you want, but there's a price. And her place can only be reached through one's heartful wishes and a specific time. Which sounds suspiciously familiar how Yae Miko told the Traveller how reach the Puppet's Dimension and Ishtaroth. To give some food for though. There's a theory that being a Vision User is not a blessing, but fate worse than death. Because it's possible implied that all Visions bearers are basically "energy batteries" for Celestia, thus giving more weight from that man in Volume 1, their energy will double upon return to the skies.
Yessss, especially after what Neuv's story text revealed about how visions work... I was surprised I hadn't seen many people talk about this book series when I was skimming through some of the ones I have on my account, hehe.
Thank you for reading the books to us. It is way easier listening to the stories instead of reading them being tired from work. Also helps doing housework 😂
interstingly, the narsizeukroz ordo also belive vision bearears to be cursed or something similar since to them, gaining a vision was an absolute no no
So my understanding is: The theif was the moon eyed man who had left many years ago and asked the shopkeeper to help his lover forget. But when he came back after lets say over a decade he wanted to steal the wine so his former lover would stop forgetting but the shop keeper said no, its already been bought and paid for and now belongs to someone else. His former lover had become a sorceress. The other stories are more obiously linked. Yuan was an illuminated beast or destined to be one and he came looking for a gift for his beloved. The shopkeeper gave him his own heart and told him to give it to his lover along with a legend about looking into a crystal heart. When his lover looked into his heart she found that he had ulterior motives and broke things off then gave the heart to the shopkeeper. And the child(man who was comparitively a child?) that attempted to murder the man(immortal?). The child had then sold the cor lapis then had his rope cut in return and had the money stolen from him but survived.

amazing bro
wow
such relaxing voice
interstingly, the narsizeukroz ordo also belive vision bearears to be cursed or something similar since to them, gaining a vision was an absolute no no
Reminds me of, Pet Shop of Horrors and Little Shop of Horrors mixed together with the caveat of a folk tale lesson thrown in for good measure
I almost mentioned Pet Shop of Horrors in the intro but thought to myself "Oh lord I'm an old man no one will get that reference" HAHA
@@projectvaluka you are not alone lol.

Trying to understand all the connections in these tales with a wall full of paper scraps stuck on it and connected with yarn
