Generally, do you like the lore/story so far?

I'm fine with the lore and story thus far, however I do find Shadowbringers to have a bit of an odd placement in the overall story. This is mostly just based on feeling but it just... felt odd to me to diverge from what Stormblood was seemingly building up to (taking the fight to the Garleans) to travel across time and space to another world and deal with that before heading back to the Source.

My guess is that in early versions of the story ShB was supposed to come before SB but rewrites made them switch things around. HW into SB has that same sort of disconnect, with the whole WoD arc feeling weirdly out of place. I'm assuming that HW was originally supposed to flow directly into ShB, and SB directly into the upcoming Garlean drama.
