Related to this, many of the contemporary characters lack emotional resonance. When DaiLing came out to her conservative father, I was expecting that scene to have further repercussions. I understand if you don’t want to make this into a coming out story, but as it stands, that plot thread is dropped nearly as quickly as it’s introduced. This plotline moves from point of tension to point of tension without ever really giving any of them room to breathe.
