So the main direction of Ward is that powers really mess you up and all capes are broken?

Random rear end in a top hat posted:I really feel like Wildbow shouldn't have written a story about trauma and recovery if he thinks that "Just kill yourself, everyone will be better off without you." is a good note to end on. I was going to ask which story you are talking about, then i realized both pact and worm and possibly twig end like that.

I lost my place in thread 2 and the format (being posts in a megathread) is pretty horrendous that I don't want to go back and figure out where I was. Is there a repost anywhere or an ebook or osmehting?

Tagichatn posted:Welp, got caught up with all my web serials. Time to start the wandering inn, wish me luck. The advice i got when i started in March and i say to you is there will be plotholes, don't worry about them too much. (Things like a character says something, then early in the next chapter the same character reacts with surprise to that same bit of information.)

Ytlaya posted:One thing that bugs me when it shows up in writing is when someone says "I nervously bit my lip until it bled." I don't know if my lips are just made differently than other people's, but lips are very sensitive and it hurts like hell to actually bite them (much less hard enough to bleed). It's not like biting a piece of beef jerky or something. I think your lips are different from mine at least. I have often done that.

Caught up to katalepsis. Sad that I'm out of words to eat. But just to be clear, Heather's doing the thing she's doing now because she wants a glass of water and something to eat?

Any isekai thing where the normal earthling ends up in a high technology cyperpunk world instead of a fantasy trope world, and can't get by with their outsider knowledge of "I come from a world with 8 billion humans and nuclear weapons and here is the knowledge of gunpowder" and instead uses knowledge of things like nature or ethics or whatever to break the system?

Thanks for the recommendations! Yeah Outcast definitely has that feel to it where the earthling isn't actually able to do the whole Yankee in King Arthur's Court thing, earth knowledge is interesting but uselss but that may be because they've been in 100% survival and crisis mode the whole story so far. I didn't even think of things like Empress of Forever. On that vein the bobiverse series would count.quote:Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street. Hotshot software developer reincarnates as a von Neuman probe and is tasked with saving the human race. Was fun but kept hinting at then not exploring several interesting narrative directions and kind of wasted the potential.

catgirlgenius posted:I AM misrepresenting it just a tad. It is only about 5% earnest horror per pound, give or take. The author is as good at horror as they are at portraying the close emotional bonds that are part and parcel of writing what is basically "the Fellowship of the Ring traveling through Qud". I wish you would write a few sentences instead of quoting pages and pages.

I stopped in early 2021 when it came back from break because the chapters are relatively short and the next chapter button doesn't exist at the bottom of the chapter in reader view. Just too much of a pain to read for what it was doing.

Every chapter has everyone going "Wow this is really nice" which I honestly kind of want to keep going and not be a setup for dramatic irony later.

BTDEM public chapter 384 question. Are we the reader supposed to know who Flora is from ancient Remus at this point? I'm blanking on the details if this was a character we saw in that part of the story or not. I mean, if not then we'll find out later I suppose.

I like reading things but I usually don't have much to discuss about them. I mean, now I'm going through the Flower that Bloomed Nowhere and it's a really slow grind but it's starting to kick in with the really deep cosmic horror vibe so I'm sticking with it.

I guess my thing with The Wandering Inn is I'm a very non critical reader and I'm pretty satisfied with whatever plot or characters get the chapter. Was totally fine with endless Beach chapters also though.

Oh man. At 82 of the flower that bloomed nowhere and have so many questions. So does everyone have memories of the before times (because everyone is a temporal copy of the 10,000 real humans that survived the collapse in stasis) or is it only arcanists (because they have a grafted soul from one of the trillions of pre collapse humans that were collected by the iron workers at the end of reality)? How many generations ago did the ironworkers start making new people from old people? It's like the collapse and the start of this reality is still in living memory but how much of that is direct firsthand experience and how much of that is bleed through from all this body and soul sharing going on? I'm really digging how everyone is living a really messed up existence but nobody really thinks that because people are concerned with their direct situation like people are. Yeah it's coming together and becoming something very chewy at this point.

I have Katalepsis and The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere on temporary hold while I read Exordia. Beneath the Dragon Eye Moons, Beware of Chicken, and Ar'Kendrithyst are my "stop and read this today" ones. TWI when it starts back up definitely that too. I have Memoirs of your local Small-time Villainess, TOOU, and Outcast In Another World open in inactive tabs that I intend on coming back to someday (unless outcast book 6 goes to KU before I start it)

Man web serials ruined me for books. Finished Exordia and I'm like "yeah i want what's next!" But the book was finished in 2017 and not actually published until last week, the speed and economics of actual book publishing means it's going to be between a decade and forever to read more of the story.

Supsup public chapters includes notes about a whole series of cliffhangers coming but like is it really a cliffhanger if I don't care about the subplot having the cliffhanger? "Oh these characters I don't know are in trouble? That's nice dear."
