The nice thing about a dedicated supsup patreon thread is it means both threads are entirely black box free. Or Jeffery could advance us to the forums technology of 2001 and give us hidden spoiler sections instead of just blacked out, that would be nice too.

"People are talking about something that I don't want to talk about. That's bad and they should go elsewhere." I have a hard time reading this impulse in any other way. If there are so many posts about one thing that it takes up whole pages, then yeah. It's pushing other conversations out and needs its own thread. That's not happening here. There's people talking about a variety of stories on every page.

Spoilered posts are very visible and thus very easy to skip. So just skip them and post about what you want to post about. If you instead complain about how it sucks that people are using the space to talk about something you personally don't want to talk about, I think that's silly.

You made this post on page 427. Page 426 has 30 SupSup posts, and page 425 is only SupSup posts. This is not an uncommon sight lately, at all

I don't think making separate thread is a particularly good idea when I don't think people will spool up other discussions in the absence of SupSup talk, but assigning motivations to other people when you don't even have the facts right is petty poo poo. Silly and sullen, even

i would like to click on the thread when there are unread posts and not feel like there's an 80% chance they will all be about a story i am actively disinterested in. if that makes me silly and sullen then i'm silly and sullen

Also a little annoyed at how everyone knows that the world harshly punishes if people do a trick to become long term overpowered and then everyone in the party and the protag goes "wow! you're temporarily overpowered! What if we made this indefinite with a little trick?". Usually, there would be people chiming in about how do we avoid creating great harm and spending page after page discussing the possibilities but there's relatively little to none. It feels bad, like the author wanted to show off this setting element and forced it through.

Pale LIghts Book 2 Chapter 5

Angharad, you've been on the island for mere hours, and already you have made a lifelong enemy of one of the most powerful families in the Watch by defeating an aspiring swordmaster lordling with a butter knife and all but agreed to steal something from the Black Cloaks to give to the queen who killed your whole family, without even considering if she's lying.

Girl, please, I beg you.

I like Ss, but it's very much not friendly to non patreon readers in here, so I overall agree it should be moved to its own thread.

Honestly I read all the spoilers and will probably follow the patreon thread even though I don’t sub to the Super Supportive patreon. Its charms as a serial to me are unspoiled by and unrelated to knowing what’s going to happen.

Yeah I read plenty of the black bar text before I even started and it was largely impenetrable anyway. For current RR readers I guess it's something to avoid. But the volume is such that it does legit drown out other great serial discussion or recs so I'm all for a seperate thread. Good job sleyca!

Whenever Pale Lights focuses on Angharad, I spend the entire time amazed that someone so dumb has survived for so long. But at least she finally realized she is a moron with a sword(mostly because she currently can't use that sword)

Have to say I fully support the new Sup dedicated thread as there were so many pages of spoilers I stopped even skimming this thread. If there is that much to discuss it should have its own thread so other web serials can flourish in the sun and battle for thread supremacy

I feel like there’s a lot of this kind of forced self-destructive behavior in WtC. This Used to be about Dungeons is much better in this regard. The characters still make objectively bad decisions, but they’re such messes it feels more consistent.

I just finished this last week so I've been thinking about it as well. I think Juniper ruminates a few times about being railroaded by the DM into making these decisions to force exclusions but ends up deciding that it's pointless to think about it since he can't really know anyway. But yes, the exclusions ultimately end up pushing them towards forced conflict and the conclusion, I think. The ending gets very meta with the reveal of the DM and what the world is, so it does end up mostly explained anyway.

Now to find something else to read

When Immortal Ascension Fails ch27 Lin sure is doing a great job pretending to be a Demonic Musician and keeping a low Alchemist profile... I'm sure that flaunting all that knowledge won't backfire at - and there it is!

Only question now is did Noxious Fang notice who she is or is the sect capture her as a spy?
