I agree with the other commenters about the worldbuilding holes, but I personally didn’t find them distracting enough to be an issue. The stone in particular didn’t even register as a hole—in the text it’s implied that this has happened countless times, so I figured the authorities don’t reset things outside the store and just spawn a fresh concrete block.
I really liked the ending. The reveal of endless stone followed by salvation and then a final twist of the knife with a fresh priceco was a great ride.
