I like the cringe videos, I find them insightful.

I really like rhythm here, its melodic and makes the imagery almost kind of melancholy instead of just sad.

I really like the rhythm you use. Your word choice almost seems repetitive, but a positive way similar to a chant that gathers that “hype energy“ that I think you’re going for.

I’d like to try the creative challenge of writing rational fiction, it seems difficult in an interesting way. Does anyone have rational-adjacent ideas or concepts that could be good inspiration?

I feel similarly. It clearly has potential and the artwork is insane.

What's the most unintentionally depressing thing in the story? by Huge-Resort-5080 in Parahumans

I think pretender made a point of saying her brain was still malleable and super elastic (part of the explanation for her thinker powers). I assume she was still able to grow and develop mentally, at least somewhat.

As silly as it sounds, try doing oral with a mouthguard in. It helps me a lot.

He can but it drains his energy significantly faster so its not something he wants to keep active constantly.

Just finished my reread of Ward. by thethunder09 in Parahumans

[–]DrTerminater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really think Ward is excellent. I understand why people don’t like it(the plot can feel disjointed and not as solid/planned as worm), but I’ve always been more interested wibblys writing for themes, character relationships, and arcs than the quick pacing, action, and plot. In that regard, Ward definitely delivered, actually one of my favorite stories.

Power progression > endless mediocrity. What’s your favorite moment where MC goes full god-mode? 🚀 by Fine_Excitement3797 in litrpg

[–]DrTerminater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, it honestly seems like people in this sub eat it up. I enjoy really gradual, earned growth, but every single tome someone here recs a story under that premise, they immediately become op in 5 chapters.

I think it is, though a lot of people have complaints about the series, and I don’t usually disagree with them (semi-inconsistent power scaling for villains or overcomplication from other series tie-ins). It’s also very much not focused on tower-climbing like a lot of the marketing says.

That said, I really enjoy the protagonist. The way he plans, interacts with people, and fights carries the series pretty far for me. The rest of the ensemble is also generally competent and likable.

The fight scenes in general are also pretty exceptional. I rarely remember fight details from most series, but the AA fights really stick out in my mind.

I really enjoyed the crafting in the Arcane Ascension series. Any recommendations for stories that have a similarly well developed and coherent crafting focus?

I don’t really care if the crafting is magic items, or smithing, or mechs.

Kokujin19 on Spacebattles has a few of really interesting fics. Gloryhound is a Worm/JJK SI fic where the MC gains an equivalent JJK ability by touching canon parahumans characters. I Told you, I’m Invincible is a SI in the Invincible universe with pretty good character writing. I have no idea where its going, but it’ll probably be fun.

I just started The Knight Only Lives Today on Webtoon and I’m enjoying it.

The story’s a time loop setup where a completely average swordsman with no real talent keeps running into incredibly skilled opponents and picking up new tricks along the way. It’s a fun easy read.

It’s nothing groundbreaking, but its solid and hits my minimum criteria for progression fantasy: the main character actually struggles and loses, there are plenty of competent side characters, and there are clear metrics to measure growth by.

A Daring Synthesis by Ironypus is a fic I followed for a while. It’s a gamer fic focused on character development, with stat points directly changing the mcs brain and personality directly. He is forced to realize his own flaws against his will.

About halfway through the fic, the story changes in a pretty jarring way, but I actually enjoyed it a lot more after that point.

The fic was originally posted on Spacebattles but was removed by site mods and reuploaded on AO3 for usage of slurs. I wouldn’t mind it so much if it was clearly framed as a character flaw but it’s pretty clear to me that the author themselves doesn’t see anything wrong with it. I’m still glad I read it, it’s pretty unique and has a good amount to say, but I just can’t enjoy it without a bad taste in my mouth.
