A boring story time

The Déchronologue
The linear story is fairly flat and confused, the author has designed to mix the cards (and chapters).
I was very upset because I did not have time to read the book in one sitting or inclination to make the effort to remember the dates.
Villon, toothless and drunken buccaneer captain is difficult to follow once it is there, on the island x, the coup after he is gone but it's ten years later and it's still elsewhere but three years earlier and so on. It often go back to view the dates and locations.
This reminds me of a book read there for years and whose pages were poorly assembled. Tiresome.
It is true that it is fashionable to tell stories n simultaneously, jumping from one topic to another, abusing flashback, telling the life of a character outline, (I even saw forgotten characters in a chapter). If all these devices often eventually have a meaning, a convergence of action, here it will bring nothing but disorder.
Finally a nice idea about the time but I find that the author has more seek to take it to the player, compiling pages and pages in which he finally nothing happens really interesting.
I admit that I have trouble seeing the alleged ay masterpiece.
