Still mulling over how to word this properly but ough all I'm thinking about recently is how good the OD reveal is. When reading the novel, most of us already have had a clue about who YJH's sponsor is, who the "Most Ancient Dream" is, what lovecraftian being out there could possibly be the worst one even compared to the other outer gods/constellations we meet, what monster is cruel enough to impose the suffering of thousands of lives, and hundreds of worlds. Then we get to the reveal, and its just...a child. A child who doesn't believe in his own happiness. A child who only experienced love through his mother's sacrifice

Aside from how well executed, and heartbreaking it is, the OD reveal is just chef's kiss because it's perfectly interwoven in the narrative, and in the overarching tone of the novel. One of the best things about orv is how it seemingly goes about very adult narratives with an almost childlike wonder/curiousity. How ORV recontexualizes traditional myths is reminiscent of like how your grandparents used to tell stories, it's subversive not in the usual way where the author does a whole 360 on a story's genre, but in a way that really does a deep dive on the themes/motifs/characters.

Like the nice girl didn't turn cruel despite everything!! But why is she nice? what comples her? what made her be so genuine, yet so snarky so resolute yet so tender?

The OD reveal is so so good because truly, who else could this novel be for? other than a child god. A being that's supposed to be omnipotent but negligent of the suffering he has caused. The Oldest Dream being a literal child works so well for us readers and for the narrative.

Like the OD reveal was obviously meant to be this meta-narrative commentary on consumerism but because orv's storytelling is reader friendly in a way, this doesn't come across as pretentious unlike other stories that deal with meta elements. ORV doesn't try to be this new-age classic, It doesn't force you to analyze it, analyze the text. It's simply just a gentle reminder about what stories are truly like, all it asks you is to read it, whether you see this work as a masterpiece or you just wanted to read for the sake of it. And then when you've done just that, maybe you'll see how even a "shitty" story managed to save a child's life
