like, drat dude. i'm a broke-brain vet who likes anime and has read every translated chapter of mahouka, but at least i haven't sunk so low as to play wow in 2016.

I think that if you play wow and it is 2016, you should take a step back and critically re-evaluate the life choices that led you down this path.

Meme Emulator posted:I like the spider LN because the author knows that the thing people reading these novels care about isnt plot, or characterization, or setting, or anything like that, what matters is skill progression and builds. nah, that is only true until kumoko gets out of the labyrinth. there have been exceedingly few stat sheets lately.

shun's story was a bog standard reincarnation thing, where he was reborn into a royal family, was lavished with praise for his broken talents, gathered a stable of potential love interests and a rival, all while building up the future threat he had to face. it was all completely unrelated to why the world had a built-in rpg system or the reason the class died in the first place. only, now we have learned that all of his drama was pointless and largely artificial. kumoko was off doing big important things that coincidentally completely wrecked shun's fancy new handsome prince hero life. everything that went wrong for shun was because of kumoko, and none of it was about him at all.

shun is unquestionably a better person than kumoko, but he can't do anything. being born as a human gave him too much of a disadvantage. while kumoko was struggling through the labyrinth he was a toddler. while kumoko was seizing godhood he was struggling with his old friend's new gender. while kumoko was plotting to save the world by killing half of its population he was in elementary school. shun is a much kinder, well balanced person, but that means nothing when he lacks the knowledge and power to face the end of the world. if left to his own devices he would probably just kill ariel and congratulate himself on a job well done. edit: poo poo, spoiler warning if you have only read the blastron chapters.

Neurophage posted:Should I chech out Dungeon Defense? It's not in the OP, but people elsewhere seem to like it. dungeon defense is quite good. the op isn't exactly a comprehensive list, and even then i think some of the stuff on there is unreadably bad even with my very, very low standards.

Yinlock posted:seriously, we already have a person for that i am the person for that. i posted in the random name change thread. i recently read through the translated chapters of reincarnator. it was actually pretty good. so, it did the standard dude sends his mind back through time into his past self thing. however, it diverged from the usual route of having the protagonist be an rear end in a top hat for no reason who uses his future knowledge solely to enrich himself and pursue petty vendettas. the entire human population of earth got sent into a sequence of increasingly dangerous words where they gain rpg poo poo like stats and skills. however, they hosed everything up and spent most of their time infighting or being ineffectual in general until the real thing started and they had to deal with other sentient races who were vastly superior to even rpg-boosted humans. while a few exceptional individuals made it pretty far, humanity just plain lost in the end. so, the protagonist-style incredibly lucky guy, incredibly ruthless guy, and incredibly benevolent leader chick crammed in everything they knew to prepare him to go back and properly prepare humanity. so this protagonist has to basically speed run the progressively higher ranked worlds while handling the major problems in each one that no one ever bothered with (mostly because said threats were big and scary and dealing with them would have taken time away from being super powered assholes). plus, he has to pretend not to be a dick because no one would trust or follow him if he got as murder-happy as he would prefer while still ganking particularly harmful individuals. i think the premise and scenarios are way more interesting than the execution, though.

oh my god, shield girl is completely nuts. http://www.novelupdates.com/series/itai-no-wa-iya-nanode-bogyo-ryoku-ni-kyokufuri-shitai-to-omoimasu/ a girl playing a vrmmo with a full defense build doesn't sound too special, right? but she eats everything alive, starting with a zombie dragon.

i don't think it is a very good story, what with how it makes absolutely no sense. "ooh, yummy! a pile of rotting meat several times my size!" but it is strange enough for now to keep my interest.

skyfire avenue is incredibly pretentious. here is a hint: whenever it starts going on about how some luxury item is the most amazing thing to ever exist, try googling "most expensive <item name>". congratulations, you just put exactly the same amount of research in as the author.

child of light by the same guy was kind of dull but mostly inoffensive, but then it started doing one tournament after another with the flimsiest of pretexts. making a protagonist who is good at running away and healing and then doing nothing but tournaments where those abilities are completely useless was a very strange decision. i guess that author just really, really likes tournaments.

FriggenJ posted:He still releases free chapters regularly. The paywall is more for early access to translated chapters that come out weekly-ish. He's gone forward, I think, 6 sections in the paywall from where the free translations are. it is still charging money for content they have no legal right to.

i started on emperor's domination recently, and it is more generic wuxia trash aside from two parts i really like. first, you know how in the worst wuxia wn's there is always a borderline omniscient guide character (usually an animal)? in ed, the protagonist is one of those only he already raised a shitload of absurd wuxia protagonists. second, everything about cultivation is hilarious gibberish. in one scene, alchemy is done by taking a naturally occurring cauldron that is also alive and using it as a blender with the cauldron's intrinsic flame as a blade. the cauldron is spun around by the "medicine treasure", which had never been mentioned before then and was never explained. then the guy had to jump inside the cauldron to bathe in the medicine so that he could grow a tiny metallic fist inside of his heart. this is a routine process that every cultivator has to do. i can't help but love poo poo that ridiculous.

i don't think they even fall for him, necessarily. he promises them loads of amazing benefits and then when they figure out he can deliver they join up. but even once they come to respect or even revere him they still think he is a dick. i still like the hilarious gibberish part more, though. so during a fight, he grabs mountains that are 1000 miles away. exactly how he does this is not explained. does he run over, stretch his arm, pull it over with his mind, etc? plus, you know, the mechanics of a normal sized human picking up a mountain to begin with. nah, it is just something that happens and is never elaborated on.

DeafAsianQT posted:I have a similar thing with meng hao summoning mountain ranges and hundreds of thousands of mountains. Are they miniature mountains or something? nah, that's an actual magical technique. meng hao specifically learned how to do stuff with mountains. but in ed, the guy just casually grabbed mountains using his enormous weight which is somehow indistinguishable from strength. he hadn't even grown giant, since later in that fight he did just that. i think the author of ed is just very, very bad at describing fights.

jwang posted:Nah, it's the translators being absolutely terrible at translating, plus doing a double translation from Chinese to Vietnamese to English. It reads fine in the original version, probably because it's more metaphorical about having the weight of mountains than literally having a mountain to throw around. nah, he literally picked up a mountain and smacked a guy with it.

yeah, when he was fighting the dude with the club. unless the translator was making poo poo up there aren't a lot of ways to interpret "he grabbed a mountain and then smacked a dude with it until the mountain broke".

i read through the translated chapters of spirit realm and i kind of liked it. the mc actually makes friends and acts like a human instead of a vaguely human-shaped mass of greed and bloodlust. it isn't terribly clever or innovative, just a better than average example of the genre. of course, when i checked what else that author has written it seems like he normally specializes in the RAPE RAPE RAPE wuxia style. unrelated, but seoul station's necromancer is dumb, trashy fun.
