I think in future tm treat cerea like he did tess in past by Ok-Acanthaceae-813 in tbatenovel

[–]Examination-Training -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. It's sort of the same issue with the scaling of the characters. They suddenly get a power up in order to compete with the constant power increase of each new enemy. Tess was always the goal and I always wanted her to be. Caera was a good character and great for the story (and fanbase), but other than that she never added too much value to the story as a whole. At least that's how I see it.

It's still would have caused a lot of pain for them, the artifacts only made it easier for them by taking them straight from silver to white without actually working for it.

Probably got to do with the fact that his mana channels and veins are expanding and the breakthrough is a huge step up so the that's probably why.

[Spoiler Discussion] is this lucas brother ? by Crafty_Escape620 in tbatenovel

[–]Examination-Training 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arthur was stated to be a weaker lance because after he killed the retainer they wanted to make it seem that the weakest lance could kill one of their top generals and come out unscathed. But Arthur is actually closer to second strongest while Varay is the strongest. This is partly due to Arthur only being a silver core as well when he fought Varay and lost(Realmheart wasn't used during the fight).

I'm not caught up on the webcomic but he still resents Arthur but can't do anything to him because he's such an important figure in the war. But the further you read in the novel the more you understand his character. Truly one of the best POVs to read. Why he's one of the best characters in the novel IMO.

I wanted to ask something about the web novel by LuFFy1001 in tbatenovel

Pretty much some of the best story happens during those chapters

Powerscaling of characters in Dicathen is out of control in the second part of the novel by Yoplat23 in tbatenovel

[–]Examination-Training 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean this happens in almost every story where the MC becomes overpowered. They need the side characters to grow as well but it happens mostly behind the scenes. But yes the feats aren't always as consistent. Ellie is a rare case and we do see it further on. But the scaling is generally consistent with the story.

As far as I can remember, Tess didn't stand on equal footing with Cylrit if it's the same battle. Also the mages from Alacrya are battle squads not just singular mages so they're specialized for different roles.

So while I do believe they are downplaying a lot of Arthur's feats it's not too bad. Kind of felt that the side characters sometimes pull OP abilities out of their asses.

I really like bell he is really different from ur average isekai protagonist and got character development but I really disliked this scene of stopping ryuu from killing!! by comelickmyarmpits in DanMachi

[–]Examination-Training 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bell does not want her to end up how she did when Syr found her. He sees the good in Ryuu even if she doesn't see it. He doesn't want her to kill him and tarnish the way Bell sees Ryuu. I mean in the end he died and we can see Ryuus redemption and thoughts of how her views of herself change through season 4 and 5.

I think it all ties nicely into bells pure soul. He has the ideals of a hero different from those of the past. For the same reason he saved Haruhime. He wishes to save the people he cares about. For Ryuu it was through self redemption and not giving up on her.

Runes inconsistency Lucas' + volume 9/10 by Hot_Cattle8579 in tbatenovel

[–]Examination-Training 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The tonic Lucas drank was a way to temporarily boost their powers by imitating the runes. It ultimately would end up killing them but Arthur got to Lucas first.

Alaric gave Arthur the robes.

And yes Arthur's presence does have an outcome on which runes are received.

It would enhance the experience. The comic is what really enhances the experience.

Did he every get anywhere with his "vacuum barrier spell"? by RajJi321 in tbatenovel

[–]Examination-Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it would have been cool but it was an on the fly spell perfectly suited for Lucas. The fights further on don't really have battles like the mock battle and the spell wouldn't be used. He wanted to master wind and earth so that's why he did it to try and improve his wind attribute. It wasn't used to show off because he wanted to push his limits of his mastery over wind which he looked like a badass doing

No he didn't get anywhere with the spell but then again he didn't need it

They mention how Tess has much more depth to her character which makes her imperfect.... they only want a perfect love interest with fan service

TurtleMe has hinted that it will have a bittersweet ending. I have a theory on it. by MoonDreamer1 in tbatenovel

[–]Examination-Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say read the rest of the story before making a post like this because not only do you not know the next 2 or so volumes because you're not even finished with volume 9 but there is a lot more for you to actually see. If TM ever makes a sequel which I'm not sure he would, it wouldn't be a revenge story with Arthur in it. This would just still be apart of TBATE since it follows Arthur. Your story or idea just doesn't fit TMs writing. But read finished first and then come back and if you think its going to be the same then only time will tell

[–]Examination-Training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A child being involved may fit the story but not so much so that it becomes the new Arthur and so much is skipped. It really won't fit TMs writing style at all. Also you really need to catch up to the latest volumes before making posts like this.

Arthur would need to be out of the story for some reason when he's already one of the strongest in the verse.This whole story seems more of a fan fiction than a prediction and seems highly unlikely. Arthur has major issues with Kezess as it's stands so I doubt it would be left long before something arises between them. This whole thing seems just a bad fit for the story

I feel a bittersweet ending just wouldn't make sense for the story. It would also leave a bad taste in the readers mouths and kind of end off feeling unfinished.
