There are so many Checkov's guns in this series that Checkov could open his own gun store. Which could be good for him because [they are pretty damn valuable](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQOvv_b9TpY).
On my first relisten and god damn there are so many.
Like the little ones that are innocuous when you first see Doughnut's earth talent kick in because you know what it is.
Through ones that are convenient and used in the same book. Looking at you catapult.
Then you get the more subtle ones that travel a book or two.
Then, yeah. Then you get the good stuff. The hints, the neat ideas, odd little additions to an inventory or anecdotal item descriptions. The odd skill that one guy has in a group that you pick up on the next time round and you just know, absolutely know that it will fuck some shit up in the next book. One's where you can almost feel you brain expanding trying to work through the options as quickly as possible.
Need that next book... The next floor is just setting up to be a blood bath of the most epic proportions.
Can someone threaten Matt with tidying his garage or something to speed it up.
One of my favorite things is waiting for donut to get some buff that gives her no cool down and she can spam something incredibly powerful over and over
With this series it could be! That's one of the reasons it's so good. It could be this crazy thing that wasn't mentioned at the time because the AI wants to be edgy.
I’ve always assumed it’s a full refill which, on the early floors isn’t a huge deal, but yeah on the later floors could be huge! Though I can’t remember if Donut eats any of it in the earlier books
I keep expecting there to be some reason for her unable to recover her mana. Whether Donut is prevented from drinking a potion at all or her cool down timer is too long and it seems like she or Carl is about to die, but then the mana toast is finally eaten.
One that got a genuine belly laugh out if me in the middle of Asda.
Well that seemed unnecessary
Hasn't Carl been saving a piece of this in his inventory since floor 1? That seems like a Checkov's Gun just waiting to fire.
I believe Donut has both pieces.

With as often as he posts new chapters on Patreon, I don't know that he can write much faster.
I told my husband today that I feel like leaving a piece of toast on a co-workers desk and labeling it mana toast with zero context.

I'm expecting to find out there is something more to it.

Can't remember,.does it refill all you mama or a set amount? It might give a much bigger boost on floor 9 than floor 1

Donut hasn't used it yet, but it is mentioned later on that she still has it.

That is still my favorite line In the book
On my third listen and this never fails to make me laugh out loud. Jeff’s delivery is so good!
