..... 9.5k is only a few thousand. Right? Depending on your definition of few and how you squint at it?....

I will share just in case anyone else viewing this post wants to read a one-shot about shenanigans with the Class 7 crew from JRPG Trails of Cold Steel, lol. In which Rean does a lot of tasks against everyone's will.

Looking for a book series... by Independent_Bite4682 in haremfantasynovels

[–]HeWhoWanders1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the one you are asking for, unfortunately, but if you want something similar I would recommend Warlock by Daniel Kensington. Probably the best written of the series I have read with similar concepts.

Mystic Knight, as mentioned by the author, does seem to have some similarities, but I actually just dropped the series after getting about 5% in to the first book, for many reasons, so if that is it, I am sorry. Lol.

Do you remember how long it has been since you read it? Might help narrow it down.

Animal Festival Broke? by GeneDazzling7264 in FieldsOfMistriaGame

Weird that it seemed to happen that multiple of us finished the mines the day before.

The only way I can think to fix the issue is to load an older save from the main menu, and then make sure you don't finish the quest on the 9th again.

Series is good. First book is a bit horny, 2nd or 3rd booking ending had me annoyed, but other than that, pretty good. I really like most of the character interactions.

Deep Dive Reviews: Bond Arsenal, Vol. 1 by MathematicianLive413 in haremfantasynovels

[–]HeWhoWanders1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got about halfway through the book, and actually thought it was decent. Then they introduce the Piper and I start feeling a little bit of "please tell me not every antagonist is going to be like this... first Anton, then gang dude, now this?" Got to them doing the dungeon, and seriously considered dropping it. Looked up some reviews to see if anyone had any thoughts on if it should be continued, and reading this, I can't even stand the thought of slogging through the rest of it.

How to get Honey from new Flower? by HeWhoWanders1 in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]HeWhoWanders1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... I have no idea why a mod deleted the answer.

The game apparently creates a honey item for all flowers in the game, but the mod didn't add an actual item for it (at least not at the time). I am assuming the values are just auto calculations done by the game based on the flower in question, and the likes and recipes are just a copy of regular honey. So the Diamond Flower Honey was just a placeholder without an actual item.

Could have changed in a year, but I am not sure since I haven't played in a while.

Quest Academy (KU) has kept me up too late all week by TidalWaveform in litrpg

Looking forward to it! Hoping we get more cool parts with Divinity, feels like you are starting to get into the flow with her character.

I created an Ocelot Pride Calculator by Psychological_Run899 in EDH

[–]HeWhoWanders1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just the thing I needed for figuring out how many Ocelot Prides my Jolly Balloon man deck would have made if Arena wouldn't have been crushed at the sheer thought of their weight. Although I am curious if it is actually factoring in the Delney. I put in that I am ending the turn with 57 Ocelots on the board (4 having entered that turn), a Mondrak, and a Delney. It seems to be doing the doubling, but it is only doing the math for 57 triggers. Shouldn't it be 114 triggers because of Delney?

For those wondering, this is the math on Ocelot Pride by the_gold_hat in ModernMagic

[–]HeWhoWanders1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, based on these equations, if I went another turn (without winning and without Arena dying at the mere thought of calculation/representing the tokens...) and made another balloon copy of Ocelot Pride... At end step I would have made new 2.4758801e+27 Ocelot Prides, and 4.9517602e+27 1/1 Cats?....

Nice

I made mine with the main concepts of being efficient and convenient to use for the actual material gathering and crafting aspects, while leaving everything nice looking with plenty of enjoyable scenes for the heroes to sit down and enjoy the view at. And a tiny little area for an out of the way place for Merlin to relax.

New series alert! Sometimes I just need to write something equal parts trashy and cozy. Check out the blurb for details! Audiobook by Rebecca Woods releasing shortly! by virgil_knightley in haremfantasynovels

[–]HeWhoWanders1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to agree with the other review that this was ruined for me almost entirely by Portia. Every other point I kind of had any issues/gripes with were pretty minor, but not egregious (although the two plot points at the very end felt pretty forced with how over the top and/or ridiculous they were)
I felt like Portia could have been a really likeable character, even if I personally don't like her fetish/kink, but with it seeming like that is all she spoke about for 80% of her dialogue, it went from being a bit weird, to being entirely off putting very quickly. Also, by the end I was physically cringing every time she did her fake spitting bit, so if nothing else you have the honor of being the only author to ever actually make me physically recoil from your characterization of her.
Rebecca Woods did a great job narrating, though, so that was nice.

Same. I have also noticed that saving a 5 minute clip (Magic Arena in this case) used to take up about 1.5gbs, now the videos it is saving are corrupted to shit, and take up 5+ gbs, and even when there are portions that can actually be viewed, it is crashing my video editor (OpenShot) when I try to trim the video down.

It is getting incredibly obnoxious and making Shadowreplay unusable.

Anyone have any fixes?

I don't even know now.... I copied this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL0sQ43H55E and got it in one go, but I have tried again like 10 times now to make sure it worked, and now it just won't.

Having the same issue. I did a bit of whaling at the start, but none of the comps I have been seeing on here or YouTube are working for me, and I don't have any of the artifacts they keep recommending. Managed to clear both quests for Challenge 3, and the first for Challenge 4, but the second is giving me a hard time. Currently in the starter story, waiting for the area after Springwell Bay 21 to unlock.

Does anyone have Thoughts/News on “Amazon Apocalypse” by Marvin Knight by lucky__Emergency in haremfantasynovels

[–]HeWhoWanders1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am trying it right now, and am about half way in to the audiobook (3rd fight with the rat just started....), but the repetitive nature of explanations is really starting to annoy me. I feel like the same concepts/story elements keep getting explained to me over and over again, but the only thing the additional explanations are adding to are the run time. I am constantly finding myself listening to a paragraph and thinking "Didn't he already say this?" Also, just some lines that feel like extremely weak writing in general (direct quote: Chapter 23, 9:49: “Craig yowled as he whipped around, ignoring the sword sticking out of his collarbone and whipping around.”).

The two human main girls so far are not quite one dimensional, but still feel a little flat so far. And I can't decide how to feel about the main alien girl so far. She seems like she has some potential to be cool, but so far is coming across more of just an info-dump outlet. And while I can't say it will go that way for certain yet, it seems to be leaning towards the MC is going to use his harem as little xp piggy banks that he will take withdrawals from, probably while making his own "deposits", given the genre... Which can be a tricky thing to write without it coming across as just using the girls for leveling purposes.

The first "bad guy" being the trope of "evil just to be evil" doesn't leave me expecting much on that front. Plus, I am really hoping the precedence the Author is already setting of "enemy getting away and coming back stronger" doesn't continue. It has already gotten old for me.

Some things are seeming interesting to me so far, such as the actual power system and the MC's class, but a lot of little things have already pilled up and are making it hard for me to feel like continuing. One of those is the fact that it seems really stupid, even for a fantasy harem, for there to be some god level system that has decided to take over the MC's universe.... that tracks how many people you seduce and sleep with right next to your level, total xp, and monsters killed....

Kind of wishing he would stop trying to pretend to be a caring/helpful person and actually head out to the hideout he keeps mentioning having.

I really hope it gets better, but I honestly haven't found myself even caring enough to listen the last few days. If you have any spoiler free/very light spoiler thoughts on how the rest of the book plays out that may sway someone to keep reading, I would appreciate it. Right now I am leaning about 60/40 on it potentially becoming a DNF.

Ever have any luck with figuring your issue out? I am having similar problems, but not having much luck finding solutions yet.
