I don't know why you think he found his overlord revelation when it's clear that he found his sage revelation instead. Those are two separate things as Eithan and Fury both show in the book.

Leng posted:Alright, I've now finished Siege of Skyhold and now understand why some people are so mad about the ending. In which case I don't think they were paying attention to the first four books, because what happened was absolutely consistent with main character motivations. Maybe less so for the really minor supporting characters but I have no complaints about the ending, especially considering it's book 5 of a 7 book arc. I just finished as well and the ending was great. Entirely within the bounds of the characters, but surprising because normally the empire is crushed and the main character gets their revenge. It's only disappointing in that an interesting character is dead and the other is a villain and I'm a little concerned in the capability of the remaining four to actually hold the story.

If you though HWFWM went downhill in book 3 then you should not continue reading because it only gets worse for quite a while. It's semi-recovering in what I assume is going to be book 5 but only back to the level of book 3.

Zore posted:I think even more than that it will be about changing the fundamental nature of progression. He's been laying the seeds for this everywhere; the Abidan are entirely too centralized to manage even a fraction of their territory if something is even slightly out of place(literally every Suriel POV is about the thousands of cries for help she is forced to tune out to do anything), Eithan/Ozriel's arc is all about how one genius is no substitute for companionship and having others to rely on, Lindon's Archlord revelation is about advancing with others and not by himself. I do think Wight is going for something like this, but It's not very clear how it would work. The structure of the world guarantees that only the powerful matter as the differential between stages is gigantic. It takes eight sages/heralds to equal a monarch. A two stage gap is almost insurmountable and more than that is. It's not like this just happens at Monarch, if anything the gap between at the Abidan levels may be worse. Democratizing knowledge would help as I think was suppose to be illustrated with Jai Long, but I don't think the issue is helping people advance who are multiple steps below you. No one we've seen so far appears to be able to easily raise someone to their level. Malice heavily implies that raising Fury to Monarch was luck. Eithan, who appears to be the most powerful person in the entire universe, struggled to raise anyone who can ascend though obviously the party will succeed.

30.5 Days posted:Supposedly he'll do it after DCC wraps, I think it's safe to say that that's his moneymaker and he's gotta make hay while the sun shines. So uhhh for those on the patreon: I know we have to have drama, but I'm very disappointed with Katia being an idiot. It's also a little lame because there are just a few possible ways it plays out. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised though. Everything else was great. asur fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Telsa Cola posted:Yeah but theres nothing stopping someone from doing the reverse either, in that one staunch socialist could go "gently caress you fight me" The hoops the author would need to jump through to make the supposed socialist not a hypocrite seem pretty large and would likely appear contrived. Beware of Chicken is the closest story I've seen and it's more inverting the selfish self centered cultivation trope than anything socialist.
