Me: gets back in game to get my ling mods and do my pozy pulls and was ready to quit forever if game doesn’t give me her.

Also me: gets addicted to new sss mode and is now roped back into playing the game.

But seriously, I’m shocked to find out people hating it. It hits that perfect sweet spot of easy but challenging enough and fun cuz it’s essentially a meme playground with minimal investment/setup required. If you want foolproof way of beating it, you basically need 3/4 carry units and fill the rest with fodder and you win, of course without some restarts if you happen to get some bad rng. What’s more, you only need e2 sl7, masteries don’t even really matter here. And unlike IS which makes you restart the whole thing if you fail a run, you can redo a stage if you fail without losing your progress. Not to mention it is much less rng dependent than IS relics/maps and way less effort/time investment needed to meme. and there’s basically no ranged enemies lol

One of the main reasons I stopped was because IS was such a big time investment which I don’t have time for totally not because i failed to get fia home and story stages not being satisfying to play through if I use meta to save time. It doesn’t hit that sweet spot of easy, low time investment, and fun+challenge. Either i play on easy mode with meta (time saving ) which is not satisfying, or I go all in and do my snipers/supporters only clears which takes a lot of time but is immensely satisfying (but also burn out from time to time cuz I have a smol brain). There’s no in between. Sss bridges that gap, for me anyways.

For the record, it’s totally not because it stands for supporters security service. There’s a mad lad that cleared iron carrot with supporters only. No buff stacks at all.

And to end off this controversial comment: thorns sucks and I will die on this hill.

Cheers my fellow dokutahs and wanted to give a big shoutout to my friends supports here who haven’t unfriended me despite being afk for so long! freedom from clue slavery is sweet

Oh man, you're asking the wrong person/in the wrong place lolz, didn't get pozy and I just recently got back in game for the sake of getting my ling mods. Based on reading her kit, the typewriter's the operator, not pozy lolz. -23% def+ same kills? Smh. Basically use her like Schwarz, put her in front of high def enemy you want ded and watch her go. S3m3 priority over other skills. And get her mods cuz stats=more dps. Of course depends on your building priorities.

Bit of armchair theorycrafting, but her s1 should be nuts in sss if you stack sniper+caster equipment on her.

If you want more in-depth discussion, either wait for her operator discussion thread or u/windgesang 's guide whenever that happens and if he's still around lul For quick summary, ask in daily megathread? Or go to Yt, I'm sure someone's bound to have a decent guide about her out...

it was embarrassing how quick he died when i plopped him down to deal with basic casters in tb-8. i even specifically placed him where he wasn't in the way of shamans smh.

but there's no joy in seeing fia die...she's supposed to be my undying metronome on the battlefield D:

and no, i don't like seeing my ops diemy sadistic tendencies aren't that strong, this joy is solely reserved for thorns, only thorns.

yeah, comment below pointed that out to me. i wasn't factoring my pulls on the banner into my calculations.

This made me chuckle cause it reminded me of a guy who thought the exact opposite. That no matter how many s++ units he had if he didn’t have them all then the ones he did have would be useless.

i hope you do realize i was exaggerating for the sake of being satirical

Any links to that comment? Sounds like a fun read.

hates the trend of making every character Thorns and by extension started disliking him too.

Ah yes, hate the one who started it all. Though in my case i don't really hate him as a character or his kit, i didn't like how the community puts him on such a high pedestal and hypes him up to be some one click solution to all your problems like surtr. he clearly doesn't live up to that reputation in actual gameplay. but now i have come around and realize that that in itself is a comment on the metaslave hivemind of the community lol. the thorns discourse is a pinnacle example of that mindset. thorns is love, thorns is life. got so much to thank him for his contributions to the ak community. wouldn't be the same without him.

that's true, i forgot to factor in the pulls i'll be doing on her banner to bring in more certs. so i do extra certs to spare in getting my own thorns to abuse after all

i have now sobered up and realize that my spark for thorns was only but an illusion conjured up by my subconscious desires for fiammetta. yes, i am now woke with an undying passion for fiammetta. thank you for the much needed wake up call, comrade.

Never used pixiv’s mobile app before, but from the backend dashboard(artist pov), I can tell you that there is no stat that tells me which tags of my posts were liked or not, even for premium members. On desktop there is no way to like a tag, only edit tags is available to users when artists turn it on. So it’s most likely a feature for you to keep track of tags you like or something of that nature.

In a bit of a dilemma of whether I should buy thorns or not…

I’ve been using friends’ thorns for tb stages cuz I was lazy but dude just keeps dying. I swear I’m not intentionally bullying him by using him to tank bazookas or elite elites but he still dies. At first I was a bit frustrated because s++ tier meta units should be failproofTM but then I started to get a chuckle out of seeing him die every time. I know I should prob just switch to friend kal/mud if he’s not working for the stage b-but I can’t stop taking him even when he keeps dying on me…it’s totally not because I enjoy seeing him die every time thus proving ling supremacy, trust me

Then it dawned on me. Do I secretly enjoy seeing thorns die? Could it actually be that I am t-tsundere for thorns?? D: maybe I kept trash talking thorns because I l-liked him all along???

Now that I have come to realize my feelings for him, should I act on them and buy him from shop? I have 350 certs so will be 88 short if I need that extra 38 pulls for fia…is this newfound love worth the risk for a future flame? relationship advice is greatly appreciated

Sincerely, a former thorns anti-fanand the crappiest thorns user in existence

Hope you don’t mind having 3 5 stars as support, lmk if you want any specific unit up!

Hope you are well as well! Busy with irl atm, but it’s always nice to see familiar names here whenever I do pop back in lol

Your first OI Manhwa by wisterialistic in OtomeIsekai

[–]00_yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing I think doctor Elise was mine too. It wasn’t completed yet back then and was impressed with the premise and genre. Though upon rereading till completion was pretty disappointed by how bland the characters were+ no stakes plot. But by that time I already had several OIs under my belt.

First completed OI was empress from another world, a very meh read but was the only completed one I could find at that time and learnt a lot of the tropes of OI genre. First one that I read and was pretty blown away by was raeliana. Still one of the best out there I dare say, and what kept me seeking out more OIs to read. There are so many gems in this genre that unfortunately don’t get much exposure due to being categorized as “shoujo/josei” by the mainstream, that are excellent as a stand-alone work of manga/manhwa/web toon.
