I hit the same wall around episode 111 and almost bailed too. What saved me was watching it in chunks instead of binging, like 2 or 3 episodes a night max. The palace stuff is slow but it's all building to something, and once the invasion kicks off around 116 it does not let up. The payoff after all that setup is real, it's just a rough stretch to sit through. Power through but take breaks so you don't burn out on it.

Wait, the meat guy is out there slapping yellow stickers at 7am sharp like it's some kind of scheduled event? That blows my mind because every store I've been to just does it whenever they feel like it, so you never know when to show up. You basically cracked the code on cheap protein and I'm jealous.

What made you pick 5am in the first place, was it the only time that worked or was there something else going on that made earlier feel better than later? I ask because day 23 is right around when the excitement wears off and it stops being a fun experiment and turns into just a thing you have to do every single day. If the reason behind it was strong enough, one dead phone shouldn't have been able to kill the whole thing, it would've just been a bad morning and you'd be back at it the next day. So was it really the alarm that knocked you off, or were you already looking for a reason to stop?
