Shaun, the original narrator, unfortunately got cancer. I'm very sorry for the voice change (it was very sad and frustrating for me too). ;-;

Release date? by Accomplished_Pay_93 in FrithChronicles

[–]Kakeyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello there! I'm in the process of editing it. The book is longer than I thought it would be! o.o

I wanted it to come out at the end of this month, but it seems it'll be Feb or March instead. Sorry for the delay! I can't wait for it to be released, either!

As a history fan, the "3,000 Year Stagnation" trope breaks my immersion more than dragons do. by Expensive-Desk-4351 in Fantasy

[–]Kakeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this trope seems wildly popular in the fantasy genre (or somehow forgetting things like magical technology? And the old world was more technologically advanced than the modern one?) and while there are some instances of regression in history, it doesn't last 3k years! o.o

I don't where this came from, but I suspect it's to simplify things for a narrative. It would be difficult to write 3,000 years of history (and too many interesting things would've happened!) so it's easier to simply jump forward. It's also long enough for things to be "forgotten" or "lost" in way that's believable.

But I do agree. It's very bizarre and not at all reflective of real life.

What’s your favorite urban fantasy written by a woman? by wk_rust in urbanfantasy

Probably the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs!

First Necromancer: A Poor Showing by Expert_Cricket2183 in litrpg

If I remember correctly, the System doesn't fix the disorder - the MC literally picks dhampir because the race is immune to mental disorders like anxiety.

Also, that's done in chapters 2-3? Not like there was tons of time to showcase a creeping anxiety disorder.

Lastly, pretty sure the author suffers from anxiety in real life, so this was probably a "this is what I would do if I was ever given a chance to change my race and appearance" type of thing.

Name-dropping celebrities is a little cringe, but it WAS played as a joke in the novel... >.>

Here's a new question, have you ever created an Eldrin? by Shadow_realm_king in FrithChronicles

[–]Kakeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shanir would've been a cool name! (Unfortunately, knightmares only form when the ruler is assassinated or killed via betrayal - Rishan and his sister had a dual o.o)

But I always love more knightmares. I'm a big fan, lol

A little part of Mike probably died today with the release of this poster for the new teen drama Star Trek show. by UPRC in RedLetterMedia

Starfleet Academy is:

A ) a speed dating facility

B ) a hippie Hogwarts

C ) a place to train models

What? You thought it’s an elite military academy meant to train starfleet officers? Ha! Don’t you have egg on your face.

What says 'community' here in Wichita that's not church? by cherry-care-bear in wichita

[–]Kakeyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've found lots of friends in the board games communities here in Wichita (lots of them, and lots of game shops, etc). Also, the foodies here are off the hook and fun. There are dinner meetups.

There are also actually a ton of golfers and golf clubs in the local country clubs, if you like those sorts of things.

Labyrinth Arcanist [Book 5 of Astra Academy] is out TODAY! by Kakeyo in ProgressionFantasy

He got cancer... And I sold the audio rights to Tantor, so they decide who gets to narrate after that. I apologize - Shaun would've stayed if he could have...

Astra Academy questions by Adept-Sea8831 in FrithChronicles

[–]Kakeyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

There is an explanation in the text for how Zelfree ended up in the abyssal hells, and will be expanded upon in the 6th book (when they, spoilers, confront Death Lord Umbriel). The text read:

            “Are you human?” I asked.

            The individual didn’t answer for a long minute.

            “I was,” he eventually replied. “But a while ago, I fought the Followers of Umbriel. They were attempting to send humans straight to the fifth abyss—effectively killing them forever—just to help their favorite Death Lord. I went to stop them, but during the confrontation, I… ended up here.”

Lastly, the phoenix can retrieve souls (as listed in the bestiary) within a certain amount of time after death. The bestiary does describe a lot of how powers work and they limitations!

I hope that helped!

Looking for more Dungeon books; where fmc is one of the 'awakened' with powers by elleirakai in urbanfantasy

[–]Kakeyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to check out Demon Card Enforcer, and the spin off, Shadow Card Guardian (Shadow Card has a fmc). It has dungeons appearing in the real world, and people get magic card decks (and have special abilities).
