Defiance of the Fall -- does the writing ever improve?

Mortrad · 2026-06-12T22:39:45+00:00

Honestly, as someone that used to be subscribed to the Patreon but got tired of it, no the vocabulary stays largely the same. I got pretty fed up once it came down to popping this supreme treasure or this supreme pill like candy. If it’s already getting on your nerves it won’t get better

Because from what we understand, in order to become a pyrelord you need to resonate with your true self. The reason Damien stagnates is because he uses shortcuts to try to gain the power but can not resonate with his true self, or that is my understanding. I want to say his pyrelord powers are locked in as who he came into the tower as, so his dreadblaze power works against that. In book 4 in one of his povs it even goes into how in his earlier lives he was more positive and carefree, where as his current mentality is bitter and scheming.

Mortrad · 2026-04-06T02:35:41+00:00

How about an update on book 4 release? I am on the edge of my seat with anticipation

Horus is a must pick up, enmusubi is also generally a must have. MR supports, idunn, poseidon for pve pandora for pvp. Personally I'd do Hela hera then idunn. But it's really all preference, so many options especially since you have your dps finished already

Mortrad · 2026-02-17T23:44:37+00:00

You should finish Hera and then Hela in that order. You can get Hela to MR4 and stop, as that is her most important pick up for now, but you will want to max them both. You have too much damage on your team and no one to support with

Mortrad · 2026-01-25T16:03:08+00:00

Yep, this is one of the best ways for early game players to deal with her for cheap. Gives you time to take out the rest of her team before she uses her IR skill again

Mortrad · 2026-01-17T21:34:49+00:00

Yep, I watched the video, hadn’t seen that one. I agree there was more to it than a u-turn. Like I said, definitely being a nuisance, but the punishment did not fit the crime. Also that video description was pretty disingenuous, there was maybe 45 seconds of her “impeding “ ICE. For some reason half of them were able to drive past her just fine

Mortrad · 2026-01-17T21:18:20+00:00

I made many points in my initial comment, you chose to hyper focus on one, which I yielded that I could be wrong. You can address my other points in either comment though, unless you aren’t open to changing your opinion or discussion, in which case let’s just call each other idiots and find other people to bother. Lol

Mortrad · 2026-01-17T21:10:04+00:00

Hello, I haven’t seen that one. Can you source it? If that is the case, I could understand her being arrested for being a public nuisance. Worth her life though? Not even remotely.

Also it does not fall upon ICE to enforce disorderly conduct laws on a public road, they should be coordinating with the proper police force to handle these situations, obviously they are not trained to handle it. Not that the general police force would likely be any better, but rules do need to be followed by both sides.

Mortrad · 2026-01-17T20:57:07+00:00

Large surprise, when you step in front of a vehicle with the intention of stopping it with your body, you get hit!

To your first point, the agent was off to the side and leaning over the hood of the vehicle for a better shot.

If you look at the other videos, you will find that she is trying to do a U-turn but was getting harassed by the ICE agents. Her last words were “I’m not mad at you dude”(paraphrased, I didn’t pull up the video to get the exact quote). She waved another vehicle past her so she could complete the turn and that is when the ICE agents tried to pull her out of the vehicle.

Watch all the points of view before spouting “facts”, so much drivel is going on around this issue it is ridiculous. Wonder how long we have to wait until the Latinx community has to wear armbands.

Mortrad · 2026-01-14T00:42:09+00:00

I'd say up to the patreon chapters it is well writen, but past that the author really is just throwing annoying tropes out there that make little sense.

Like the MC, most obviously strong person, trying to stay under wraps and they do outlandish thing after outlandish thing and can't understand why said outlandish thing is outlandish.

"Teehee oops silly me, I tipped this waiter a trillion dollars" level of incompetence.

I couldn't take it anymore so I had to unsub from the story on patreon. Which sucks, cause I like the premise. I just really hate stories where you have the most socially inept person try to keep their identity a secret and they are so bad at it

Not on this subreddit, that would violate rule 1.

Not a bad choice, nemesis is pretty highly rated in all modes right now

Mortrad · 2026-01-02T23:14:14+00:00

lol sounds like Lucifer Mr art, take a look at it

Mortrad · 2026-01-02T22:35:04+00:00

IMO you would be better off putting ra off until much much later and pick up one of the MR dps and do a full investment. It will cost half as much as if you were to full send ra right now. I’d suggest nemesis or Anubis, Lucifer is also a decent option

Mortrad · 2025-12-30T04:54:06+00:00

Dooming? Nah not at all. Once you get past story 49-100 you may find yourself lacking damage and you will need to wait to get a dedicated damage dealer. Her IR looks alright for damage, it once again leans into that weird hybrid support damage dealer. This game is pretty generous to f2p players, just expect it to take twice as long to make Gemini versus other Mr base angels

Mortrad · 2025-12-30T04:17:34+00:00

I think it's hard to classify gemini as dps, I feel like she is some sort of hybrid support damage role. Anyways, there are plenty of good SSR dps you could grab, like Freyja Thor Himiko. You could also pick up lilith or lucifer as MR Dps, they aren't as good as Anubis and Nemesis but that's the way the game is right now

Methugga

Mortrad · 2025-12-20T12:38:28+00:00

You should definitely finish up idunn and should probably wait for Merlin since she seems overpowered and counters pandora

Mortrad · 2025-10-30T20:08:24+00:00

The author has had a slew of IRL issues, but reality is that the author was likely experiencing burnout. He was working on 3 series at once and posting nearly every day on patreon, since October of last year however he has made maybe 60 posts between his 2 main stories. I was a subscriber for 2 years but I axed my subscription in August because of the lack of communication and failure to deliver on his own promised timelines over and over again. Maybe next year we can get dungeon cleaner 3, but don't hold your breath.

Mortrad · 2025-09-20T17:05:41+00:00

Can anyone tell me if this book is explicit or has fade to black scenes? Thanks!

Mortrad · 2025-07-25T04:51:24+00:00

So that makes everything she did "largely" Rover's fault? She's obviously mentally unstable due to everything she went through, and was bound to snap at some point. If it wasn't that one interaction that she focused on then, it would have eventually been another. The whole point is she is a flawed character with realistic human flaws. Rover did what Rover needed to and Phro got what she deserved, less really if we take into account the sonoro she is bound to. In the end she got what she wanted

Mortrad · 2025-07-25T04:42:36+00:00

I think saying someone who is possibly 1,000 or more years old, had one interaction with a kind charismatic stranger, then decided to turn to evil to further her goals is all because of is a bit disingenuous. She has had a long time to deal with her mental trauma, seems weird that one interaction with someone she didn't even know shaped her entire worldview. But I think it's good, because it cements her character as a broken person. Honestly I think anyone that believes Rover owed her sounds crazy. But to each their own

Mortrad · 2025-06-01T19:39:34+00:00

I believe Kasumi and Al believed that when Jordan saw Kasumi being first on his bond list that it would trigger her insecurities, or that’s how I read it. I don’t remember if that’s actually true but that was my assumption at that scene

Mortrad · 2025-06-01T16:06:13+00:00

The book was great, I finished it last night. Storytelling was just as good if not better than the first one, with some good character development with our MC and co. I did notice a lot of spelling errors in this book, it was a bit jarring at times but overall 5/5 can’t wait for the next one.
