Yup moving through space faster means moving through time slower. Kinda like if you were traveling at a constant speed through a 2d grid, if you make your vertical speed faster, your horizontal speed would be slower, except replace the grid with spacetime where we're pretty much always traveling through time at ~1c and space at ~0

Relative speeds also cannot exceed the speed of light. Since there's no absolute reference frame, if this were possible it would be no different than exceeding the speed of light on "absolute" terms. Once you get up to speeds where this would matter, funny dilation effects that I'm too dumb to understand would prevent this.

Voltaic is a difficult card to balance, on low ascension it's just a one card damage solve for the entire game, but on higher ascensions it's borderline unpickable. Having a 3 energy card that basically does nothing the first 2 times it's drawn will get you chipped down by hallway fights a lot of the times.

Comparing dogs to trump would be an insult to dogs

For reading practice, I like using satori reader, the full service is paid but it has really nice grammar breakdowns and i like being able to click on words to see their definition/readings
