This isn't a particularly bad thing, but I must say, chapter 100 was perhaps the most self indulgent this story has had yet.
Tto whom is it indulgent? Harry, Eliezer, or the reader?
I would say Eliezer. Introducing another event from the first year of school and subverting it utterly. Blatantly referencing Twilight AND My Little Pony (to the point of bending canon for its inclusion) AND a Methods or Rationality fanwork AND an obscure math program AND Several other cameos sprinkled throughout.
Does it matter for this discussion that MLP canon unicorns are sentient?
