I don't dislike his action sequences, I dislike the long action sequences. They just need to get broken up somehow. One arc is totally fine, but when it stretches to two or three it gets to be a bit much.

I'm just viewing it as a spiritual journey, the lost and broken need to make peace with themselves and reach enlightenment and this healing will be the process by which he escapes. Or something.

It'll be cool as hell when Mags makes a move to reclaim herself. Can't wait. Probably at the end of this war which will take forever, though.

Well, something much more than a simple vestige or bogeyman that's for sure. My theory thus far was that he was a vestige cut off of one of the sacrificial relatives, but if he's something to be feared in this manner then he's either been tainted by something a la Rose and Conquest or he wasn't cut off of a relative but was something else entirely made to fit the role of Rose's other. I can't decide what. I'm almost inclined to re-read everything now just for a fresh take on things.

A reflection of a demon bound with the history and self perception of a human could perhaps overcome the issues of his base nature.

I am so annoyed that Blake and Rose still aren't communicating. I feel that if they were just explicit with each other all the time there would be less issues. Why can't Rose just come out and say what the hell her problem with what Blake is, is? Just tell him. "This is why you're in the mirror prison and not out helping me." Instead she's just being a secretive, imperious bitch.

Tollymain posted:Well, Jacob's Bell had a good run, time to pack it in On the one hand they're seriously competent practitioners who have surely accounted for all of the variables, but on the other hand I think they're going to regret going at Rose and leaving her without any better options. Nobody puts Rosey in the corner!

It'll be interesting if, in trying to drive out and isolate Rose, the rest of the town just added more Thorburns into the mix. Exactly the sort of twisted, backstabbing people you don't want knowing about magic and demons.

Yeah, Blake really does have to end up in the Abyss again before the end for his third treatment. I imagine this ending is likely akin to how Leviathan arc in Worm brought the opening portions of it to a transition point. Maybe the bell is going to be driving every other insane and they'll attack enough of the practitioners to force all of whomever remains into one camp. Something like that. I don't see Jacob's Bell continuing at the end as it has been.

Only thing I can think of is Wildbow needed a way to get a couple of extra weapons into Blakes' hands. Seriously annoying way to do it though.

Blake seemed much more imposing in this chat. Bogeymanish. And I love that he straight up asked for a hit list and then got it.

So what's left? Wrapping up the lordship, the resolution with Rose and then a boss fight with Urasur is pretty much it.

I feel that if Worm's first 10 arcs hadn't had so much world and character building, thanks to not having constant fights, it wouldn't have been as good. Hopefully Twig goes better!

To echo NecroMonster, it doesn't make any sense to put her in a coma. What's the point? Kill her or save her. Her story has ended and shouldn't be held in limbo. About the re-write, I hope it is significant. A lot of changes should be made. The timeskip, Tattletales deus ex machina power (I know powers are physics defying, but this one affects the story rather than the story universe). And leaving aside the absurdity of talking about realism, I don't see capes, good or villain, holding off on killing. Yes, there have been killers, S9, Hookwolf, etc., but I'm talking about the good guys and the non-cartoonish villain stereotypes. As Kincaid said, all it takes is a bullet from a distance and it doesn't matter what magic powers you have. I see Government being fully compromised by capes, and Government also fully embracing Cauldron. Really, who gives two shits if someone got their powers 'naturally' or not?
