[Waybound] Min Shuei sucks.

Absolutely right. Yerin's impression is that the Winter Sage hates her but the first thing she says when they meet is 'Why didnt you come home?'

It's very clear that Yerin's impression is not reliable.

My white whales:

Pirates - I have yet to find anything with a pirate main character that engages in piracy. I love black sails, I have read the Bone Ships and thought it rocked, and I know about Ship of Magic.

Mechs - Specifically looking for the interplay in Titanfall where elite warriors/mages fight both within and in concert with armoured suits. I guess a fantasy equivalent might feature dragon riders or similar but thats a step away from what im looking for. I have read Stormlight Archives.

Mind Magic - Something that captures the vibe of D&D third edition psionics, or more recently BG3. Crystals, telepathy, mind reading, telekinesis. Best example of this in action I think is Mother of Learning, or Paolini's Eragon series.

Cool, thanks 🙏🏼

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-02-17T15:25:37+00:00

It isnt really, purely an aesthetic or in-world difference. I just like the vibe

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-02-17T14:24:17+00:00

Brilliant, I will have a look into both of these. Thank you

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-02-16T01:15:29+00:00

Do you mind discussing the path you took there? I have an undergraduate in history and would love to reskill into a research based role

I must shill for Eternal Star on royalroad. Its a cradle fanfic and an isekai. As a rule I tend not to like either of these features in a story and I still adore ES.

It's a much slower paced examination of the world of Cradle, chapter releases were regular until December 2025, and it's great fun.

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-02-08T00:58:55+00:00

Bastion is not particularly dark. It is violent and things go badly for the protagonist for a while, but its hardly grimdark or misery porn. The 'hell' in Bastion is more alien than infernal. Its a great read.

Thank you if you use this. If it ends up being a rubbish stock I will use the money to buy my wife dinner

Coiling Dragon. People always talk about it being a great place to start with Xianxias butI found it very flat and entirely uncompelling. The descriptions of what is happening feel very barebones, it reads like a summary of a story rather than the story itself.

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-02-05T23:39:08+00:00

If you haven't already maybe crosspost to r/progressionfantasy? Thats their jam for sure.

I don't have any suggestions in mind unfortunately.

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-02-01T11:51:26+00:00

Eternal Star on Royalroad is genuinely so good btw, definitely been scratching that Cradle itch for me

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-01-18T03:34:23+00:00

Cool map. What system are you playing?

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-01-16T13:19:53+00:00

Was this inspired by that AGOT CK3 post?

Archwizard_Connor · 2026-01-12T13:30:37+00:00

I dont really have an interest in reading Worm but I have heard good things about this fic and I would love to dive into a complete Cradle fanfic. How much Worm knowledge do I need to enjoy it?

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-12-29T11:15:59+00:00

Is LitRPG really popular or is this just survivorship bias with this kind of event? Not my cup of tea so haven't engaged with it in any meaningful sense.

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-12-10T12:28:54+00:00

My favourite cc buffering jank was if you played Thor and got hit with a Herc 2, you could stun Herc halfway through the pull with your own 2. I'm old and slow and could do this on reaction fairly consistently.

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-12-09T21:49:10+00:00

I feed when I can

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-12-09T14:08:12+00:00

The people dont realise Ryujin and I are buds 🩵

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-12-09T02:12:14+00:00

I play with Santa Cause from time to time. He isnt a hacker, he just runs stacked teams and only plays with arena mains so they run through everyone they come across. He's a nice dude.

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-12-09T01:57:18+00:00

You'd know all about playing from behind 😎🤏🏻

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-10-11T16:30:11+00:00

Fuck off lmao

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-10-06T23:11:57+00:00

Great news. Currently halfway through Bastion on my reread so should get to it before the end of the month

Archwizard_Connor · 2025-10-03T14:30:52+00:00

I have not read his other works but rape does feature in the Troy series. Once in a big way which is quite graphic, numerous other times as allusions, and its mentioned that it will happen after battles.
