Honestly, I can see some reason for this to exist. One of the really off parts of Harry Potter to me was always how utterly devoid of curiosity or joy the characters were with magic. Especially Harry/hermione given their background; the idea that kids find magic so utterly dull and uninteresting that it's drudgery to learn, say, transfiguration or whatever just seemed really off key. As if it's just intended to make it more familiar to kids in mundane school. From that standpoint, taking the existing IP and trying to "improve" it is at least sensical. But the 11 year old Godel Escher Bach loving AI theoretician Harry Potter is completely nuts. There must be some middle ground of reasonableness that doesn't lead to head conversations with hats that become self aware because of how awesome your internal monologue is.

The great guru surrounded by people who have, of course, never heard ANYTHING about these fantastic new ideas! You guys are spewing a hell of a lot of vitriol at a guy who appears guilty of, at worst, self promotion in conjunction with some relatively innocuous philosophy. If his worst transgression is writing some mediocre fanfiction filled with very-implausible-for-an-11-year-old-especially-in-conversation infodumps of (his?) ideas, which has an active fanbase, is that really worth the amount of personal attacks being leveled? It just seems kind of the opposite of fun. If you're going to make fun of the stuff, make fun of an 11 year old off-handedly analyzing the magic bank for arbitrage opportunities or something, rather than the OK Cupid profile of the author, or whatever.

Added Space posted:Well, this was my favorite. PM me with what upgrade (or cheap steam game or something That is a pretty good one. Certainly better than silently making spider silk nooses extend out in a controlled fashion somehow and transfiguring them into carbon nanotubes which are really sharp and stuff to behead 30 dudes simultaneously. It doesn't really fit the silly 'power he knows not' thing, but who cares?

Night10194 posted:Ahahahahahahaha! I'd love to see what a normal editor would do to his insane shitpile, let alone the copyright clusterfuck. The more entertaining thing is that the epilogue so far is super unsatisfying and Yud is getting defensive. "If you can't handle short chapters wait until Sunday" because of a bunch of oddly irate reviews.

Killstick posted:Wow, i didn't think my opinion of that book could go any lower but here we are. "Mr. Grey" is also the name of the male lead in The Secretary, a film from which 50 shades seems at least a bit derivative.

Dorotea Senjak is a Black Company reference, which is weird because I didn't think Yud actually read anything prior to writing this story.
