I haven't caught up on Chapter 7 but I did notice particularly during the Mori fight that it felt kind of bloated and repetitive even though it was pretty much a curb stomp, and I think that was kind of due in part to the amount of shit that Anon had in his rolls which felt like information that isn't necessary to show in the middle of the fight, especially since I do take a look at the rolls sheet at the end anyway. I wouldn't mind a bit of information, though PB was great and the combat with Noel flowed way better I found. On a purely subjective opinion I really don't like TTRPG systems where the numbers get fucking huge, I've always found them unwieldy and take away from when someone actually does have like a shocking amount of health or something. Overall if it makes it an easier writing experience for you I say go for it because it still reads very well and I won't miss it that much.
