Wait... so all the people in this sub who heard that publisher's complaint, panicked, and instantly jumped to the conclusion that there was 0% chance the book would ever be published, with no reason to believe that, and then dominated this subreddit with their bitter laments every day since, may have been wrong?

You don't say...

The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings should have had an interlude where the titular assassin spends 2 days forcing Geralt to hear about all of the sex they had in their college days (as a teenager) and how difficult it was to scrounge up coin for smithing and potion ingredients before getting to the dead king bit. Sadly the writers wrre not real professionals.

Obviously take it with a grain of salt from a permaban troll/threadshitter but he seemed pretty genuine about what did and did not work for Name of the Wind and would then reference books that did it way, way better.
