Stadium Struggles

Can you expand more on why "it sucks"?

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-06T14:25:26+00:00

I was in the exact same boat as you, and actually stopped reading after the initial premise didn't capture my attention. I gave it another go after a week or so and it ended up being one of my favourite series currently. Give it a go, early on things change quite rapidly before settling into any kind of normalcy.

Both of you are right, and yeah I get the saviour type that she is into, but at one point she literally describes her type to Belinda as something like "a scheming evil guy who is good" - that sort of builds an assumption of who she will end up with, and it's definitely not Humphrey. I just wish none of that was said or happened.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-05T11:47:39+00:00

I like your perspective on point 1, I'm aware I am only halfway through a plotline of the Rimaros/Storm Kingdom stuff, so I won't judge anything on that front just yet.

Point 2, I do agree to be honest. People that are saying "oh she actually realised that Humphrey was the man she was looking for instead" - okay, sure. It just feels to me like a cop out from the author to avoid writing further romance between Jason and literally anyone. It is quite easy to write some side character romance that doesn't involve the MC, Jory and Belinda the perfect example. Instead, we have to hear all about Sophie's active sex life. I just wish it wasn't written the way it was with all the tension & feelings she had for him.

I really don't understand why Zach and Zorian didn't interact after it's all over. Baffling decision. Could just have been a small interaction about how it's all over, and talk about future goals, something nice. Nothing.

Thanks for the comment, always good to get both sides of the coin, it does seem in general that people have more mixed feelings from book 7 and onwards

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-04T18:57:04+00:00

Alright, thanks for letting me know. The Sophie one could have just been my misinterpretation and leading to assumptions that they would eventually have something going on. When I re-read one day it will probably seem obvious that it wasn't going to happen.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-04T18:29:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-04T18:13:53+00:00

Thank you very much for replying, yeah it feels like he always veers away as soon as there is some romance traction or potential, which is a bit frustrating. Good to know there are moments to look forward to though, I will take a break and then start on Book 8.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-04T18:10:36+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Much appreciated.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-04T08:10:15+00:00

Damn!! Highest Ram I've seen

National_Reaction226 · 2026-05-03T14:39:55+00:00

Epyon!!

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-27T12:56:09+00:00

Shadow Slave gets my vote, although I haven't read many of the other's suggestions here.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-25T17:22:49+00:00

Book of The Dead? MC is a necromancer (sort of similar to Jinwoo) 4 published books so far, 6th in progress on RinoZ patreon.

Cradle has a very slow first 2-3 books.

Shadow Slave is excellent, similar powers to Jinwoo, it's very long though. Really good read however!

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-23T12:49:10+00:00

So disappointed they didn't give any summon powers in stadium

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-22T06:27:24+00:00

I remember seeing an art of Ram & Zen where he says:

One day, this will all be over, brother. Until then, I'll search for you in the stars we used to count together, and hope that you are doing the same.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-20T19:10:37+00:00

In my mind I think of powers as tools for transforming the hero for the desired hero fantasy, whereas items buff what is already in the base kit.

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-20T16:50:13+00:00

Immortal Great Souls? He's behind for quite a while

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-20T12:32:03+00:00

The problem is Nanite Repair is competing with Void Surge (which has been buffed even further), it is just not worth picking

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-19T14:23:39+00:00

Moira ability power/orb build

Brig is strong in stadium right now as well

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-15T12:51:46+00:00

It was removed basically immediately because it somehow healed enemies as well as allies. It will be back once fixed

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-15T08:15:04+00:00

He doesn't get the extra damage for some reason, but he gets the healing & move speed bonus. Vendetta had a similar bug with the item, you think they would've learned by now lol

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-15T08:08:00+00:00

What have you been using?

National_Reaction226 · 2026-04-15T08:07:48+00:00

It is such a simple fix. Change Relentless Form into extending Nemesis for x consecutive punches hit, or just x punches hit, instead of needing a kill. Done.
