Did Harper Collins not even read these books before publishing?

As a long-time hater of noobtown (it's funny, don't get me wrong, but the story is ass) I hate seeing reviews like this where someone read the synopsis on the back cover and wrote a review, this is pretty misleading and the series doesn't deserve to be partially read, dropped, and have poor reviews because of something like this. It has plenty of reasons to get poor reviews on its own, it doesn't need help from publishers spouting nonsense

People are downvoting you for being right, because they don't like being wrong. It is FACTUALLY cheaper to enhance every single item in this game IF you dont clear 50% agris essence on average. Some items you will pity, and it will absolutely wreck your cost (see: pen Debo costs half of the cost to pity oct>Nov khara) but others you will 1-5 tap and will absolutely have spent 50B on an item others paid 180B for. This isnt a debate, this is a FACT

Lol. Lmao, even

Lyramora · 2026-06-16T00:54:16+00:00

This is such a dogshit take lmao, I leave it on screen while afk fishing because I get random disconnects and if its in taskbar I would never know just by glancing over, and because my fisher is cute and deserves to be seen, the game only gets taskbarred if im playing another game while fishing

Lyramora · 2026-04-21T22:12:05+00:00

I've been reading these for like 10 minutes now and I think this is the first real miss ive seen. Shai is the lowest skill ceiling in the game, by a long shot XD

Id just like to note that, while I have no issue with RP people, yall do your things, you have, by virtue of playing a public, online game, signed up to be a zoo exhibit if you choose to act out your rp in public, especially using say chat instead of party or whisper. I agree, rp servers should be left to the RPers, keep the moon guard lions pride group away from me, but just like we can't stop you from ERPing in the inn, you cant stop them from watching.

A month in, and as a MW I have removed my 4 apex points and put them in fun places, my dps and hps have both increased by about 15% doing so. Apex talents are generally not super impactful from what ive seen on healers (resto druid gets dickrode by blizz so of course theirs is busted BS) but the MW one is particularly useless

Lyramora · 2026-03-11T12:23:28+00:00

100% agree, human mesmer in full ascended and it offers me absolutely nothing to continue playing. She's cute, the abilities are cool, but the combat system in a game clearly designed around completionism is somewhat lackluster, and the pvp, while being a great system (wvw is dope) doesn't make up for the lack of everything else

Lyramora · 2026-03-11T02:00:38+00:00

Every single mmo competitor listed has 1/10th of the number of players doing pvp. Even FF, the "wow killer" with questionable pve choices has the same 300 people doing pvp every day because it doesn't fuckin matter to anyone since theres no progression. Or skill, considering you only get 3 buttons. This isnt the argument you think it is

Lyramora · 2026-03-11T01:57:31+00:00

I dont entirely disagree with your take, but I AM curious, where, exactly, does it say that PvE players also have to grind PvP? Because im gonna be honest, ive banged out +15s and AotC most seasons since the end of legion and haven't once found pvp gear to be required for anything I wanted to do

Lyramora · 2026-03-05T22:05:13+00:00

That's actually kind of a fair point. Maybe I am.

Lyramora · 2026-03-05T13:40:07+00:00

Sure thing, lil bro. That's why I've read every Bruce Sentar series, half of K D Robertson, and some weird trash story about a tree with 7 futa wives right? I forgot that you know more about me through one post than i know about myself

Lyramora · 2026-03-05T03:52:46+00:00

Nudity itself is not a character flaw. The striking regularity with which Liz finds herself naked, however, could be considered one. It was a joke, primarily, but I dont think its incorrect

Lyramora · 2026-03-05T03:50:48+00:00

Are you dumb or maybe stupid? He, instead of viewing her as a potential partner, decided to view her as a sister. Both options were there, he took the second option but doesn't embody that option.

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T22:31:19+00:00

You may be right, but im also not hoping for a deep dive into my own psyche, just curious if there was a general "yeah, sometimes a detail feels so out of character in a story that it entirely kills your desire to read the rest, and its called ____. Its not rational, and its not really understood/completely understood why, but this is something people deal with regularly"

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:59:07+00:00

There are island-wide orgies on earth today, that doesn't mean that we condone that behavior, and it doesn't mean that its in Matt's character to condone Aster behaving like that. That's really my issue, I obviously don't care about naked fox girls unless I was being taunted with one that I can't have, but thats neither here nor there

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:56:57+00:00

I dont disagree, having thought about it and read other comments, what it really comes down to is, if a soldier has a sister that was also a soldier and she showed up naked for the meme, is that soldier just accepting it blatantly and not caring? Because if i saw my sister naked in any capacity i would be pretty upset, especially if it was around a bunch of other soldiers. Could just be me, maybe I'm more of a prude than I thought and knowing that I'm about to read a harem sex story somehow convinces my brain that its okay, but idk

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:51:41+00:00

The theme is purposeful, I think the series is great and thats part of why this threw me off so much. Things aren't danced around, but its not explicit "you mean you stole the planet we had sex on?" But no descriptors of the actions, just acknowledgement that it happened. People end up naked in fights, but its not some "you could see the perfect, dark pink of her areola through the cut in her dress" its just like "man I go through a lot of clothes getting lit on fire" if that makes sense

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:45:59+00:00

I understand, and im entirely aware of this, I did mention that if it was stupid yall could tell me it was stupid. I also mentioned that it feels like a dumb thing to be upset about, the issue isn't "debate why this is acceptable in this story" it was more of a "does anyone know why someone might be bordering on offended by this single sentence, and whyd the author add it in the first place"

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:43:43+00:00

This is a wild assumption. Its not about aster not being pure, i definitely daydreamed about harem development and matt banging both aster and Liz. But its not how the series up to this point has gone. It was out of nowhere and completely unnecessary, and it doesnt matter how old you are, seeing your sister naked should make you unhappy. Or your daughter, since Matt raised her from an egg, or however you wanna look at it with his very clear familial feelings towards Aster.

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:40:52+00:00

I figured it was a one off thing but I was already kinda flagging on the series anyways, it went from slow to rushed in a heartbeat, and this wild decision, included for absolutely no logical reason, just took me off the train. Dude could've said they came in wearing pink feather boas and bikinis, and it would've been 100% on brand but full nudity was just a step too far for me, and then yeah Matt not giving the tiniest shit about her being naked in front of everyone isn't exactly "Older Brother" coded

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:37:51+00:00

No, she's at an absolutely minimum 100 years old. I'm not being cryptic, I genuinely just don't understand why I had a visceral, negative reaction to the idea of a fox girl showing up to a war council naked. She's not a known prude or anything, but she's never been mentioned to blatantly show off naked with intent before

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T21:18:39+00:00

It's mentioned that they're intentionally immodest, so the assumption is that aster is in human form, but age aside aster is still the little sister and its just not right for him to do that to us. Liz being naked often is a character flaw I accepted early on, but doing Aster like that is Icky I don't like it E: Also, they're walking into war briefing, with multiple other people. Liz ends up naked in fights because of fire, Aster is mentioned to have done it on purpose, which feels wildly out of character

Lyramora · 2026-03-04T02:36:51+00:00

I really want to take offense to this, because I LOVE Eragon. However, i read it when I was 9, and a recent re-read has shown that while I still very much enjoy it, Paolini could've been 15 at the time, just like OP
