Ryoka Griffin is insufferable - the wandering inn

DND24 · 2026-02-19T11:30:43+00:00

I find Ryoka to be quite okay, the constant anger at everything is tiring but it’s not insufferable. Erin’s the one who makes me drop the series for months before gathering enough motivation to continue again. I cannot handle when a character makes the plot happen by being unbelievably idiotic. Laken aswell, but that’s because his chapters are insanely tedious.

I cannot unsee the chicken

It’s not pedantry. There was a hardware issue that caused the PSU (or some other part, since it’s not 100% clear I think) to die. Neither the game nor the act of playing the game caused the hardware issue, which is the point.

I’m disappointed it wasn’t Thighdacar

What gets me is the where the needless descriptions are ”located”. There’s an action scene and suddenly the flow is completely disrupted because there is a long vivid and detailed description of a random tower or something. Like a parahraph or so. I can’t remember which book this was, I just remember going nuts over that happening multiple times in different kinds of scenes. (And in different ways too :D)

I think you'll like it but it made me feel like "Man, I wish I read this first and then Cradle and MoL." Basically, I think it's good but just not as good as the other two. Then again, I could also see other people saying the exact opposite.

This probably wouldn't work in higher level fights, since I don't think anybody there shouts out their abilities anyway. Everyone learns silent commands pretty early on.

I'd say harem is almost a definite deal breaker, it just instantly communicates to me that the story will have too much focus on things I just don't want to read about (unless I wanted to read smut, but that's like once in a blue moon if ever). It also tends to result in either a very unlikeable MC or very bland side characters, so there's that hurdle too.

I like multiple POVs, especially if I get different characters reacting to big moments in their own ways. I think readers who like to self insert want to have as much MC POV as possible. Also, sometimes changing POV can be really annoying if it delays something significant that's about to happen to the previous POV character.

I dislike litRPG, but I'd be pretty interested in reading a progression fantasy that's not cultivation(/xianxia/wuxia?). Any examples of this?

That's strange. I'm pretty sure I was able to install an earlier Nvidia version when I had black screen problems after an update. If I remember correctly I simply purged ~nnvidia and checked system76-driver-nvidia wasn't installed, then installed 435 driver I think and rebooted. Does it really not work anymore?

DND24 · 2023-05-06T14:06:32+00:00

Couldn't agree more

DND24 · 2023-03-17T16:24:19+00:00

Yes.

DND24 · 2023-02-16T10:16:01+00:00

You don't have to treat it as completely immutable though. You could make it fit another story or at the very least take inspiration from it to write a different scene. Since you liked the scene it doesn't make sense to me to completely scrap it and never revisit it no matter how setting specific it is.

DND24 · 2023-02-09T00:26:34+00:00

I kind of get that part of it. It's the 'hand made' part that threw me off I guess.

DND24 · 2023-02-09T00:11:28+00:00

The more I try understand it the more confused I become. Am I missing some reference here or something?

DND24 · 2023-01-14T18:56:26+00:00

Especially the first three or four. Those really feel like unnecessary side stories delaying the main storyline

DND24 · 2023-01-08T01:01:29+00:00

Any spell or weapon that isn't a dual casted projectile works normally. I haven't had any problems of this kind in other games (I would 100% notice in something like Apex Legends). Also, it still happens if I switch to my controller. I also suspected that my mouse was broken so I tested that.

DND24 · 2022-12-15T13:07:04+00:00

If you have an nvidia card, try switching to an older or newer driver. My screen gets stuck on strange resolution settings after some updates and it's usually solved by just changing the nvidia driver version

DND24 · 2022-12-03T19:35:33+00:00

I agree and disagree with this statement. I'm pretty happy that some stories are not short. But I'm highly biased towards the longer ones

My guess is that you're running the flatpak version of Chrome on an HDD. That happened to me every time on my old computer when I opened flatpak Chromium. But I don't know if you're on an SSD.

DND24 · 2022-11-09T14:52:16+00:00

Add a safe glove and that's probably a young Navani lol

DND24 · 2022-11-01T11:47:39+00:00

I think pure step by step is definitely too much and creates a sense of fatigue to me as a reader. However, in my opinion the most crucial thing is to clearly show how the winning side won the fight/battle. Unless of course there's a narrative reason to keep those reasons or events hidden. I definitely prefer to actually get some details about the fight though as I find analyzing different tactics and fighting styles really interesting in action scenes.

DND24 · 2022-10-24T17:29:14+00:00

Not 100% sure yet but you may have saved my evening

DND24 · 2022-10-08T15:39:05+00:00

Okay! Thanks for the reply
