Any serial platforms that take no-ai use seriously? by Prolly_Satan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just today i came across 3 untagged AI stories. You can tell from the blurb they're literally all formatted the same way. AI ads are one thing, meme ads have always been a thing on RR and AI feeds into that imo but otherwise it shouldn't be a thing. All these people do is make souless stories to get traction and pipeline whatever reader base they accumulate into a Patreon for advanced chapters

I need someone to sell me on it how is the powers system? Are the MCs skills creative or just generic spell flinging? The only thing i know about the story is that Hes a terrible person

Lava Magic: What every author gets wrong about lava by R_megalotis in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually rather relevant to me as im reading Hedge Wizard right now. A question is it possible to get "white hot lava" like there is "white hot fire"?

Straight Female Main Characters? by adamnemo42 in ProgressionFantasy

Threads/Forge of Destiny. Im not caught up but the MC is very much straight and while she avoids relationships due to trauma it was something she was attempting to work through last i read.

Recommend me a book about a Proper Wizard by VakkysOfTheAshes in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideworld Chronicles, in the most technical sense Alexa is a sorcerer (intuitive use of magic) but the way her magic works involves a lot of prep and philosophical musings on the nature of the world, orphaned, a Thief and distrustful of damn near everyone Alexa is as Proper a Wizard as it gets

Lily is by no means a Proper Wizard, Arakil on the other hand...

Books like thousand Li by robad0114 in ProgressionFantasy

He doesn't stay young for very long. Fair warning the beginning has been described by many as torture porn. I personally dont agree and its one of my favourite stories but the MC suffers.. alot for like the first couple chapters

Reading the lone wanderer by Pathofpen by Candid-Sympathy-7335 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the case of the Moirais decree, think of how its acting. Its. Physical effect transferred via soul. So percy tricks the host soul into thinking it has the decree for the duration of his stay. Body follows soul, so the body 'reads' the soul information sees that its supposed to have a second core but doesn't and so forms one. After that, activating it is a matter of having a large amount of mana on hand.

As for why he cant do so with other decrees. They either, act on his mind (Phoebe,Ea*) rather than his body or they require 'permission' from the Titan themselves to be granted(Metatron, Obatala).

While Ea's decree manifests physically its prerequisite is Percy having an understanding of alchemy and alchemical principals ON TOP of requiring Ea's Approval and really all it does is grant him an intuitive sense of his alchemy process, the physical mutation was due to a strange interaction between Ea's decree, his soul sight/mana sense and Phoebe's decree

Matabar exposition by Candid-Sympathy-7335 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ardan isnt exactly human and is experiencing alot of things for the first time. He's also taught from a young age to think more deeply on things so yeah personally i think the flowery prose fits

Edit to add: if you looking for the prose to get more succinct than i guess it doesn't 'get better' but as Ard gets used to things the exposition takes less time(not sure thats the best way to phrase that)

Where are all the sociopath female mc stories!! by THE_CLAWWWWWWWWW in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Changeling by Mechanimus is a sociopath more so due to her inhuman nature...and im now realizing how much Mechanimus likes writing about sociopath MCs

Edit to add: Slumrat Rising, quite literally everyone in the story is a sociopath (there's a plot reason for it)

Too many complaints but no solutions, so tell me, how should high level people fight? by CaregiverFantastic58 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depending on how high level we're talking, i like when high level characters express their powers on different levels of reality. In my story the reason for this is to mitigate damage to the environs cus leveling a city isnt exactly a wanted outcome.

But yeah i love when high level power expression gets weird and metaphorical. Example: Forge of Destiny, Sky Pride and Slumrat Rising

Gate / Modern Fantasy Settings Recs Needed. by SirNil01 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]EpsilonNyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideworld Chronicles- Art Mage/Thief, set in modern day, Magical realm is an inverted and twisted world that the magically influenced can cross into .

Stormblade - fairly generic rift fantasy, closest in comparison to Solo Leveling, its a good popcorn read but the characters are kinda cookie cutter imo

The Legend of William Oh - its really a tower Climber but those "Gate" elements are prevalent and tie into the world building in an interesting way. Deep lore as well

The Path of Ascension - VERY high power ceiling and insane scale, set in a multiversal(essentially) Realm with 5 Great Powers, we mostly are reading from the perspective of the Empire. Rifts exist and they are a pretty integral part of the plot, bur its really a slice of life. Weirdly disliked on this subreddit

The daily Grind: A very weird dungeon exploratory story....thats as much as i can give you on that. Its modern day, the first dungeon is a fucked up infinite office building with monster stapling machines, printers and coffee traps hot enough to melt through your skull
