Man. Wandering Inn is good. Not going to praise it to the skies but that Skinner introduction was real creepy. Besides I like Erin. I totally do not like Ryoka, ugh such a pain to read.

Oh no. I just read a chapter about mating habits. The only reason I keep reading this story is the author said it was a "comedy" chapter. But it was just so loving bad and long and cringeworthy. I mean. Ugh. Help me out here please. There seems to be a jump between chapters 2.13 and 2.14 that I don't get? Suddenly Ryoka has a 800 gold contract with Teriach and she's visited him again? Is all that off screen or have I missed something? Affi fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Sep 15, 2017 |

I'm honestly creeped out by how well she writes depression. Like is she just writing Erin from her own experiences? Cause Erin is depressed as gently caress. Also new mother of learning is out! I love this story more then I should! It was admittedly a bit crap in the beginning but the adventures and the blatant cheating and the grand plans are kinda fun! And heists! I think I have it figured out though Red Robes identity. It's one of Zachs simulacrums that broke off. We keep having the characters talk about murderous simulacrums and Zach is honestly kinda unhinged to begin with. That is my theory at least!

Megazver posted:She's on internet, so probably. Well drat it. Or rather yeah that is exactly my thoughts on it. Only issue is where does the simulacrum start the reset? It fought Zach once at his home when he was just getting dressed so probably not in the same room. I have another theory. The reset doesn't start when Zorian or Zach wakes up. It starts while they are asleep. And I wonder what will happen if Zorian trains himself to control his sleep and wakes up right as the loop starts. Will he find red robe?

Silynt posted:I very much enjoyed the most recent Practical Guide, specifically the back and forth between Squire and Warlock. I thought the dialogue between them was some of the best in the series. And I'm intrigued by the hypocrisy in Warlock's stance on Cat - not the one she calls him out on, which is totally justified (he is every bit the monster he accuses her of being) - but that he seems to hate her for the threat that she represents to his best friend through her existence as his "replacement". How is that situation any different from Apprentice and Warlock? We just saw Apprentice transition into another Mage name, so why would he not assume that she could or would do the same? He claims that she will be the death of Black, but Masego wasn't the death of Warlock. Honestly it's either Black Queen. Because she is going down that path herself. In which case Black Knight is probably spared. Possibly Black dies and she takes his place. More probable is she becomes White Knight because that is probably the only way her side will "win". gently caress the gods game just flip over the table.

Motherfucker of learning was real good. Again. drat I like the world he's built and I really like Zorian and Zach. I wouldn't trust the man in a suit though. But I am curious why and how he found them in this loop? Silverlake setting up the meeting?

So what's the deal with the machine army? Is it in any way connected to worm? Or is it something kenzie did by accident? (Don't buy that her power is surveillance given the crap she's building) Who the hell is fighting it on earth bet? Wardens and their ilk just seem to guard cities on gimel and stop villains.

Autonomous Monster posted:Zorian's default operating mode is extreme paranoia, especially wrt anything that could cause damage that persists across resets, and Zach thinks he's a videogame character and the lich is his endboss. Yeah. He's pretty much vetted Alaric and Xzvim to an absurd degree before inviting them. but he didn't do it to Silverlake because of time restraints and maybe Zachs reckless influence.

sunken fleet posted:Daybreak on Hyperion is pretty cool too. It's technically still updating ...just slowly. But the three volumes already up are well worth the read I think. Note the author has stated that it started as a gag project intended to be like four chapters long or something and blew up into the epic war fantasy it currently is - so the very beginning bits are a bit different tonally from the rest of the story. Blast from the first page. Really? It's a story about a guy who summons a familiar waifu for himself. A transgendered familiar waifu. Does it steer clear of all the creepy poo poo that entails? And is it amazing? Because I sorta like the alternate history earth preussia with mages that is in the background. But creepy transgendered familiar waifu is just really weird.

Cicero posted:The main explanation for Zorian being so good I think is that a) he's a generally smart dude in general, b) by virtue of the time loop he can access resources that others could not, and c) he can take certain risks to accelerate his learning that would be too dangerous for someone not stuck in a time loop. I agree. It's like he's been studying 100% towards a goal for 3 years with unlimited resources and connections. On top of being not only a generally smart dude but probably just as smart and talented as his famous older brother. Most people take breaks and have hobbies. He dedicates his entire life to learning poo poo. Can you become a mage in three years if you study hard and are talented? Sure anyone can do that. Can you become a great mage in that same time if you're really talented and have the best tutors and the chance to really experiment with little to no risk and basically infinite resources? Definitely. He's still no archmage and not one years later either but he is good and he is always prepared. Also he has one unfair advantage that lets him defeat most of these probably experienced battle wizards. He is very very good at mind magic

Nah. Bard shows up right at the pivot and makes Catherine look away from Black for a second and thus being unable to stop him from destroying the array. Bard obviously wanted it destroyed and distracted the one person who might've stopped Black That is my read anyway.

Epilogue pract So are we thinking black fights the crusade as Catherine invades praes for next book? Obviously cats deal with Cordelia is “you keep black off my back and I’ll deal with the empress” Followed by Cat betraying the crusade and coming to blacks aid a la Gandalf at helms deep.

Ward is really picking up. Was honestly a bit boring there for a few chapters. So what exactly is sidepiece’s power? What do the ribs do? So tattletale is using vickys group to put pressure on Prancer so that she can eventually fold his organisation into hers. I believe Team therapy will get a consolation price when they provoke conflict between prancer and his brutesquad and take down beast of burden. After the fallen have been dealt with of course!

Honestly I’m kind of in the camp of ward sucks. So let’s discuss some other webcomic! Like say practical guide! That stairway thing was p cool with Procer basically taking a page out of Praes old playbook and doing something comically huge (blowing up a mountainrange) in order to bypass the red vale Catherine and Masego don’t look too good though! Cat is still mostly fae and masego is basically just a scrying relay. Probably his dream.

Just caught up with worth the candle. It’s good. I have some pet peeves but it’s well written for what it is. The world building is interesting and the powecreep is hilarious but somehow appropriate. Pet peeve 1: why do his party even like him? He treats some of them as disposable products (grak, locus, solace) I guess it’s because he can’t gently caress them? Pet peeve 2: it’s just slow after the first few books. This 9 months in a time chamber feels basically like 9 months of wordpooping.

Yeah the way hellhound contemplates the stupidity of opening up with such a massive blow,given there is always pushback,I would hope they knew something was going to happen. Fighting pilgrim and saint of swords is probably what it was like fighting the calamities when they had ranger. Also ranger is totally going to kill saint of swords.

NinjaDebugger posted:My theory is that we're not actually dealing with good and evil here, but shin megami tensei order and chaos. Those tend to overlap varyingly with good and evil. I agree for the most part. However the gods below are obviously order and not chaos. Easy mistake to make because you usually think chaotic evil and lawful good. I do at least. Above: different choirs with different agendas and methods, procer is a tangled mess of small kingdoms, hordes of throw away named. Wandering bard throwing wrenches everywhere. Bumbling conjurer, rogue sorcerer (just the names really) It goes on and on. Below: devils are lawful, the tower is order, gods below have no obvious schisms. Small close knit teams of named or even solo named. The legions. Black is self evident, he’s described as a methodical machine. Warlock and hierophant (categorising and trying to figure out how he world works) (compare it to rogue sorceror, bumbling conjurer, witch of the woods) (name wise it reeks of chaos) I’m counting demons as outside the whole devils and angels (and I think the story also mentions this)
