I feel similarly about the footnotes. My own philosophy is to avoid them at all cost, and only include them if I absolutely cannot find a way to make the information flow with the text AND I can’t not include the information while serving whatever functions I’m trying to with the writing. It’s perhaps a matter of style, but given the high footnote to body percentage, I’d have preferred it if you used fewer footnotes.
Note: I had trouble reading this because of the formatting. Splitting into paragraphs would help significantly.
