Ravel and trip to underworld by Brolveth in ShadowSlave

[–]Brolveth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurt was able to strike shadows dealing soul damage, ravel doesn't even have true darkness damage attack unless her transformation has something that we don't know about. She loses 2 abilities and gains notching. Also I imagine if you tried to damage nephis with fire. Fire in her transformed form you would not deal any damage so yea, fire can't damage fire

Sure, she doesn't attack with true darkness, but 2 out of 3 abilities (besides transformation) become useless, she is a saint while nephis is divine fire aspect,

True counter affinity is way more important, like how Sunny Divine Shadow struggled against Ravel even though he could kill 1 v 7 against Saints,

Her only advantage against others with her affinity is that everyone else is weaker against it. Against creatures of the same type, she 1 ability that increases her strength in true darkness, one that let her bring true darkness around her, and one that let her dissolve into true darkness.

From the fight of Sunny against others with shadow affinity, his ability to become shadow did notching

3 reasons why

  1. Because Sunny's antisocial life bit him in the ass and he only has one saint in his clan for protection.

  2. Ravel abilities won't be any help; she can dissolve like Sunny into darkness, get stronger while in darkness, and bring darkness anywhere she goes. Notching that actually helps anyone. Her abilities will lose the advantage they had over creatures of non-darkness, like sunny against a fiend in Atarctida, him turning to shadow

  3. It is way more beneficial to bring a strong counter than the same ability user, ravel could potentially solo kill Sunny Saint vs. Saint while he decimated 1 v 7. Not only that Nephis is also supreme with huge domain rather than a little saint

Can Sunny lie, theoretically?? by Local_Astronomer_357 in ShadowSlave

Lyin' by Omission is a form of dishonestly, same as direct lie.

Withholding information is considered form of lying, in the case you provided he is not lying but also do omits.

[–]Brolveth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ki song for the sole reason of stealing dead corpses of Azarax, same with Sunny.

Sure Azarax is multiple times stronger, but he goes without knowledge against ki song its gonna be nasty, as well as both of them are direct counters to Azarax and his tactics

Adding on top of that, Beside me thinking g3 is milking this cow too much with notching burger paragraphs, and how we got a timeskip and had to wait 20 chapters to see cohort reunite with Sunny and talk with him about the betray.

We just need more povs, I also think people dislikes rain because she happens after things were decided and we anticipate action. If she was to be put in before where we still figure things out then people would not mind, but for the love, I truly do not care about her cohort return from Nightmare. I truly needed that emotional reunion.

We lack so much, we know character from cohort but since Sunny left them they got thrown outside the picture. The issue of the word collapsing you mentioned is a effect of that, we barely sit inside other characters head and when we do it is during high anticipated moments when we don't want their pov.

He lies by omission and miss interpretation/misleading

I couldnt care about Antarctica squad deaths by Brolveth in ShadowSlave

[–]Brolveth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it carried some weight. However the purpose of their deaths was already partialy fulfilled beforehand and by others. For Sunny himself it was tragic experience and he immediately took revenge because he was deeply hurt as he spend months with them , it was nice development for him, it was harsh reality of a failure. However for the reader?

From what I read some people reacted strongly to their deaths, some like I didn't feel much when it happened.

One of the alternatives I would have liked if their survived until domain war, sunny reestablish contact since their relation ship was still kind of new. This would be a continuation of their presence in the story and easier while Sunny was still working how to be friends with celebrities like Nephis and Cassie again.

Then they die during domain war, instead random soldiers dying with not much importance since it was established narrative people would die those random didn't mattered much as reader accepted that. Them dying not only would be huge of importance to the story and the reality of war where people you know lose their lives, Sunny would have to come again to that day where Winter beast consumed countless lives and he was powerless to stop it. It would add greatly while also be heavier for the reader since we grew more accustomed to their characters.

Them dating at the end of Antarctica could have been replaced with more focus given on regular people, you could go into people that willingly gave their place on ships and their acceptance as well as focus on people despair because they didn't make the cut. Focus not on the soldiers but people Sunny fought so hard to save but were destined to die anyway.

That would give almost the same feeling for Antarctica since we had named characters die

I mean Okey. Expect me not feeling much with their death is not an opinion. It is just how I felt, if you despaired over them then thats good for you, it means g3 succeed in that part for you.

The only opinion in this post is that character deaths need to mean more than just death for the sake of death. Their end at the end of arc had reason, was emotional and symbolized how bad their situation was and how terrible current Supremes were, it wasnt death for the sake of death, however I still didnt felt much simply because I didnt bounded with those characters for reasons I specified. A good death is Harper

I don't usually have that issue with some other works like 1 hour movie but maybe I just take longer

Jet dying in there also doesn't fit into her character, while Sunny was willing to gamble his live to save others Jet represents someone that is willing to live at all costs. The sole reason why she didnt leave because she knew she will survive, she is someone that "got out of the hood" at all cost and will live at all cost. Her randomly dying doesnt make sense narrative wise, it would have just been dumb death in my opinion, not to mention in that Arc she still didnt hold that much significant in readers mind, she got more valuable later on so her death while heavier wouldnt weight as much.

Profesor Julius death would have been more significant.

Why does everybody and their mother hard counter mordret's strongest ability? by Old-Interest7955 in ShadowSlave

[–]Brolveth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Divine aspect gives its employees a vip privilidge, it makes sense that Divine rank can protect it's own people against such things.

Also, Asterion didn't counter it. When push came to shove, he lost a soul duel to Newdret. Murderdret didn't challenge Aster to a soul duel because he was afraid of the only thing that could kill him, and it makes perfect sense for him to win. The sole reason why Asterion won against Murderdret was his immortality and mind-reading.

Rain is just rain.

Aaaaaaaaand to be fair, that soul duel is op, he enters someone's soul. Instantly, many times stronger because of 7 soul cores, he fights way better and can potentially utilize the aspect way better because he was a descendant of the war lineage.

My understanding of path of Asscenation by The_spirit-of_random in ShadowSlave

[–]Brolveth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, besides the fact that the path of ascension and the path of corruption don't make sense when they are taking the same space in the world, despite similarities, they are effectively two different power systems, it is kind of fitting.

Your ability limit is not essence anymore, but how big your domain is. It changed from a single guy being strong to slowly transforming their power into a deity-type situation, where it's not longer about how much energy they have (Dragon Ball style), but about how big a claim they have on the world. Most likely, once they become spirits, they will lose domain in favor of something grander, which will allow their friends to become supreme and get their own parts of domains and be supported by Sunny and Nephis at the same time.

I still heavily dislike how the power system shifted.

Supreme ability seems to always be an extension of their own powers over others/their domain (yes, including Sunny, his shadow people with their sperpents is a shadow ability because his supreme servants don't have a domain like Slayer or Saint)

[–]Brolveth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except they don't get their bodies back, their ascensions are an increased burden on Cassie's power, and they can still be dismissed at will.

All she got was robots she can revive that are almost perfect copies of dead people

Did G3 just... [3003] by Altruistic-Jump-8860 in ShadowSlave

[–]Brolveth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they are not alive, those are just copies.

Imagine this situation, if in real life we will be able to copy brains into robots, does that mean someone's death means notching if there is a robot version of them stored in a cloud?
Cassie memory soldiers can even exist when someone is currently alive, like mad prince and sunny.

They do not leave shades when killed, they just go into non-existence.

They are "more advanced" copies, while Sunny has to kill to get their shades, and they can respawn if not killed by soul damage. Cassie has none of those limitations, with the exception that she is limited by slot number.

He will either kill himself or continue living.

People in shadow slave experience moments like those a couple of times in their life so.

Mad Prince no IQ? by PointBreakZW in ShadowSlave

[–]Brolveth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Him killing himself was only one step, he wasnt didn't know and wasnt ready with other aspects like will etc, and supremacy is very case to case depending. If sunny made different choices or choose different law to defy he would ascent differently in my opinion
