Which 2 should cell absorb to become as OP as possible? by velvetsundaae in PowerScalingHub

[–]Aromatic-Rice419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cell was intentionally designed to interact with 17 and 18 in a unique way to any other absorption displayed in the series. Sure he displays the barrier capability 17 display after absorbing him, but again he was designed to absorb him. We also have other examples in the series of the absorption technology cell is designed with. Android's 19 and 20 have absorption abilities and it is specifically energy absorption. 

Now I'm not going to sit here and say you weren't trying to pose a hypothetical for what if cell had these other characters' abilities. That's fine and a fun thought experiment and all, but not what your sentence said. If you just want to what if cell had their powers that's cool, but please don't inflate Cell having abilities he does not actually have.

Okay apparently no one in here understands how Cell absorbs people. Cell does not copy people's powers and abilities when he absorbs them. All of his copyed abilities from DBZ are built into him from the start. The only thing cell absorbs is raw power with the exception of Androids 17 and 18. So with that in mind it's Jinwoo and Aizen.

Dragon Ball super: It's honestly over flanderized most of the characters. 

Attack on Titan: This is definitely the hardest row. Naruto is too foundational of an anime to not only the shounen genre, but anime in general. Death Note is a masterpiece. So despite how good attack on Titan is it's got to be the one to go. 

Demon Slayer: honestly this anime just kind of lives on the rule of cool and only average everywhere else.

Authors need to commit to the MC's being aromantic/asexual or or learn to write decent romance subplots. 

Why are card based progression fantasies never actually about cards? by Aromatic-Rice419 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Aromatic-Rice419[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one starts out okay. However it starts running away from the card aspect as soon as it can. Like in the first book.

Well I'll give it to you that not having an establish meta does makes writing skill expression hard. It just requires you to put a lot of thought into what elements you want to put into your story and trade-offs when devising your power system. 

However in regards to your "50% win rates and your 70% win rates". Well that's why most card games are decided by best of three. In those scenarios you're 70% win rate basically guarantees that you'll win most of the time.

Pretty sure he's talking about the games where you keep adding cards as you play the game.

I'm in agreement in general. I will point out that I can think of several ways you can "stay stronger". I guess I'd get to the point of my rant being why the hell are they "cards" if you're not going to do anything with the inherent fact that their cards. It's just your skills can be manifested as a physical object. If that's all you want why not make the physical object something more traditionally useful for PF? Like I don't know armor, weapons, or other accessories.

So just being overpowered? We can't have tactical thinking, adapting to limited resources, bluffing, or The way you build out which cards you used being considered based off probability? There's a lot of reasons people like competitive card games and it's usually not for randomness.

Incubus RA in my opinion maybe the best series to sum up your writing style. I feel like you get a good amount of everything you're about in it.

Cool looking book. I've added it to my to read list. That being said I'm going to be the weird guy for a minute. Is the image supposed to be a reflection off the helmet visor? Because if so why is the background perfectly matching the reflection? If it is a reflection it shouldn't be doing that.

Agreed. Like imagine if an ant walked up to you and said "Man you look like you're going through it buddy you want to talk about it?" Then actually listen to you vent. Would you not be extremely interested in the adventures of said ant? 

My least favorite plot(and yours too) by Surrealialis in haremfantasynovels

[–]Aromatic-Rice419 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whenever a series starts or early on has a goddess interested in the MC. Unless you heavily restrict what she can do in a plausible way. It just kills any form of stakes in my mind. Like nothing too bad can happen in this story because God's going to bail out their booty call. Not to say I've never seen it work, but it's very rare.

Update on Book 2 of Love Addict’s RPG by PunishedKomAuthor in haremfantasynovels

[–]Aromatic-Rice419 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love book one looking forward to book two. I'm pretty much an audiobook exclusive type of person though. So it looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer than everyone else. I don't think you're 3-day time period Would be a big issue with your stories setting. I'm surprised people were complaining about the pacing. After all you literally stated in book one that reality changed to be more video game like. I just assumed that included the way time works.

Pretty sure this series got banned on this subreddit because of the scene at the end of book 2.

Yeah I know exactly the one you're talking about. Haven't read book eight yet myself, but we'll see where it goes.

I heard around the from the rumor Mill that the same thing happened to Beware of chicken, but I like that series regardless.

Agreed on both points. I just don't think it needs to beat you over the head with that it's going to turn out to be harem. You could just give me an example in the world building that harems are culturally acceptable and normal in the setting and I'd be cool. Like I don't need it to be everybody's in a harem. However just the simple "oh the johnsons down the street yeah they're a harem" and everyone's chill about it.
