I enjoyed reading this. I have been making my way through Needham's Visual Complex Analysis (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/visual-complex-analy...) book which takes a similar visual-focused view of teaching all of complex analysis. Chapter 2 in particular covers multivalue functions and branch points to make a similar point about how some paths will yield different values at same points.
Yes im reading it now. I find that the total lack of formalism makes things difficult from time to time just like his insistence on using basic geometry when there are easier ways. That being said, its an excellent book.

Needham is great and his Visual Differential Geometry and Forms is excellent.
