I agree.
I had similar triggers too.
I'd personally prefer if there was less long rests though, and more short rests, but that short rests also was done at camp. (need more short rests for balance between classes, Warlock is nerfed hard by the current rule)
Same goes for how some information is put forth. If you ask me, we should be introduced to the Absolute at the beach, before we meet the goblins.
