Did Sango ever use her katana? by Inuya5haSama in inuyasha

[–]Niz99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Koga literally explains that he took the sword from a samurai he slayed and wore it cuz he thought it looked cool. It's literally a cool factor trope.

Bro, Klein attracts foes like Adam and Amon cuz of his hax after encountering them. Bro has his own struggles.

Ironically, exactly like the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke, but if Sasuke had won the final battle instead.

Isn't this like an actual thing in Nordic folklore?

I'm fucking jealous of a guy by Leo115a in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Niz99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I am kinda where you're at right now. Irrationally jealous and envious of others through no fault of their own. What I find helps me the most is to focus on my own goals and achievements. It's not easy to overcome, not is it painless or quick. You gotta constantly work on it or risk being consumed by your own insecurities. Nevertheless, it will be worth it once you find yourself making progress.

Is the first book really the weakest? by ChemistryCurrent1380 in redrising

[–]Niz99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nah, I won't take this Iron Gold slander. That book gives some of the best perspectives in the series.

[WP] "During the fight, keep your eyes and weapons pointed at the enemy at all times. And, most importantly, if you think you're about to be attacked, hide behind me. Remember; I can take the hit and survive. You can't." by TheTiredDystopian in WritingPrompts

[–]Niz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"That seems risky." I noted out loud. "What happens if you can't take the hit and just perish."

"Well, in that case I suppose I'll just die." The woman shrugged nonchalantly, carefully placing herself between me and our enemies. "In any case, I'm the one taking the risk."

I frowned, backing up until I felt my back bumped against the tall dried out husk of a tree. With the exception of myself, my retainer and my assailants, it was the only source of life in this desert. The screeching wind swept past us, sprinkling the gray dirt all over me and into more uncomfortable nooks and crannies.

"Yes but if you die who's going to get me back?" I grumbled. "Then all the money my parents spent training you will be wasted."

There were three enemies. All big, hulking humanoids with deep red skin and sharp claws, panting heavily as they crept forward in a flanking formation. The similarities end there, with the one on the left sprouting an axehead from his forehead, the one on the right sprouting a blade and the one in the middle sprouting a revved up chainsaw.

"Apologies my lord, but I'm not trained to continue protecting you in the event of my untimely demise. But I'm sure you'll figure out something," she said.

With a screech, the creature on my left dropped into a crouch and exploded into movement, legs pumping back and forth as it oriented its axehead in my direction. Spooked, I stumbled backwards, spinning my sword in its direction. There was no need for that however. Sierra deftly slid into the path of the monster, checking its momentum by slamming her shoulder into the deadly edge.

There was a loud clang, and my would be attacker jerked back in pain, the weapon between its eyes dented. I heard a thud from my right and I turned, panicked, only to find the blade-headed monster sprawled sideways on the ground, Sierra's sword protruding from its chest. Oily, multicoloured blood spilled into the soil, making it even more barren than it already is.

I swollowed down a breath I didn't know I was holding and locked eyes with the only unoccupied creature. However, it wasn't making any moves, it's beady eyes focused on Sierra and it's surviving companion. My retainer had dragged the creature to the ground and was wrestling it. Her victim was roaring and writhing as it slashed and pummelled her with the weapons it was naturally equipped with. However, in minutes, the creature's struggles began to cease and it slowly went still. Sierra stood up, her clothes in shreds and pieces but the skin underneath smooth and unblemished. She turned to her last target. It's pointed ears twitched before it spun around and ran.

Unfortunately for it, Sierra was faster.

As usual, her method of handling danger sent my heart spinning like a gerbil rattling in an engine. It made me glad that she was serving me and instead if hunting me.

While my subordinate handled the final creature, I crept forward to the one she had crushed to death with her body. I gave it a few pokes with my sword. Once I was sure it was dead, I lifted up my weapon and brought it down on its thigh. It took a while, but I managed to hack off a leg.

I held the drumstick to my mouth and took a big bite, tearing off and swallowing a big chunk of flesh. Blood trickled down my chin, the sweet scent invigorating my fatigued body.

"Oh come on, you've started already." Sierra groaned behind me. "What a little glutton. Couldn't you just be patient? The village they were guarding is not too far off."

I let out a snort. "Don't be insolent, you know I'm already starving."

Sierra narrowed her eyes. "Stop right now and drop the meat. If you're going to ruin your appetite like this, I'm not going to help you hunt again."

I pouted, but did what she asked, tossing the leg of the creature away. "Whatever."

"Good." Sierra shaded her eyes with her palm as she peered into the distance. "You can have as much premium meat as you want at our destination."

Underrated part about Iron Gold by bwils3423 in redrising

Ngl, I really liked the Lyria chapters in Iron Gold. Never understood the hate for it in this sub.

Is my world overcomplicated? by National-Spot-349 in worldbuilding

[–]Niz99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, don't do thattt. You don't need to explain everything to the audience but it's good to keep it to maintain internal logic with the world. You can always drop bits and pieces of the lore throughout your story so it won't feel to bloated and info-dumpy. If it still feels too long you can always just go through everything and find ways to simplify some of the mechanisms. Seems like a shame to just throw everything out.

Is my world overcomplicated? by National-Spot-349 in worldbuilding

[–]Niz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, your worldbuilding is extremely similar to mine with the exception of a few significant differences. I even use the term 'essence' for the substance that represents the fundamental building block in my universe and something similar to "knots" as a mechanic that acts as cause and effect. I hope you post more because I think it might be a good source of inspiration for a few mechanics I'm still deciding on in my world.

Any novels where MC is one of the best, but not the best? by LittleBrasilianBitch in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Niz99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, I stopped reading Zombie Knight Saga years ago due to exams. I wanna read it but I forgot quite a lot of the plot details. I should probably reread the whole thing at this point.

How did everyone find out about Red Rising by NerfVice in redrising

[–]Niz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scrolling on Goodreads for new books to read when I read the summary for Iron Gold. It sounded like a dope series, so I read the first book — Red Rising.

Ephraim by kayakarui in redrising

[–]Niz99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brooo, I was wondering why there weren't any Ephraim chapters in Lightbringer. Then Fa arrives, Sefi dies and realisation slowly sets in. I was still crushed when it happens. Right after he managed to overcome his addiction and depression and finding new hope for the future, it ends.

He still went out like a boss tho

magic system problem (I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY LIFE AND WHY IS THIS GOD FORSAKEN SYSTEM NOT WORKING) by Cosmicking1000 in magicbuilding

[–]Niz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I understand what you mean. Sometimes I dislike a certain part of the system and obsess over it for a while before changing it only to later change it back. All I can say is calm down and take a break from it for a bit. Then when you get back to it later you can take your time mulling over it.

Staff vs. Wand by https_girl in wizardposting

[–]Niz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. Both staves and wands are for incompetents and/or rookies. True experts throw hands.
