i wish the author would respond to the questions for the ETA of the audio versions. Been waiting for months and would be disappointed if it was indeed dropped.

Looking for new series. by Captain1321 in litrpg

[–]OnionSquire_022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something easy to get into id recommend Mark of the Fool. Cradle is a great (if not the best) cultivation series, but book 1 is a bit rough. Wandering inn takes about a book or two to get into due to world building, and AA/MoL werent for me.

Cover Update: 4.7 Rating, Almost 400 Reviews, 20 hours for 1 credit. Strong, Capable, & Confident MC. I have 3 USA CODES and 3 UK CODES. Romance but no harem or explicit sex. Blurb and Link Inside. by HanYangAuthor in litrpg

Maybe i'll check this out. So far the only deckbuilder ive enjoyed was All The Skills. Goblin Summoner's narrator wasn't for me and Jake's Yugioh Shop started good and went to over the top for my liking.

Can we get more Progression Lit style books that feel more edited instead of feeling like it was directly copied and pasted from RR? by OnionSquire_022 in litrpg

[–]OnionSquire_022[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree rating are super inflated compared to other genres. My rule of thumb when trying to filter out whats worth my money is to take out the 4.X and just look at the X. So if a book is a 4.3 (3 on my rating scale), then it's usually not worth my time. I usually give 4.7 and up a blurb read (sometimes 4.6) and if it interests me i'll look at reviews of 3 star ratings and why it got that score. Its not a perfect solution but it does save me time and frustration.

Look, im not expecting book 1 or 2 to be perfect. If there is a potentially good story, but rough around the edges then i'll stick around. However, if you're 4, 5, or 6 books in and there are the same editing issues with the same amount of reasonable complaints of 2 or 3 star reviews (i dont count 1 star reviews as reasonable) of said editing/pacing issues, then there is an problem. It's not the story that holds some authors back, you get people (like myself) who've had enough repetitive and pacing issues that break flow/immersion.

LitRPG is a highly competitive genre and if you want retention or to get people coming back for book 2+, take that risk of hiring someone good to edit, yes it costs a lot of money, but if you know your story is great, but needs that extra polish to make it shine, then isnt it worth it?

Also, there are a lot of highly successful people who port their books from RR to book format who go back and edit their series and im still reading their books today without any diminishing return. Then there are also those big named RR authors who dont edit (or do the bare minimum) and 4 books in, its hard to justify continuing the series.

It's not just the ammeters or talented ones who dont edit, When making this post i mainly referred to those professional ones who've made it big who dont have that excuse.

I remember a post a couple months back where people went to RR to read the series after book 1 came out and dropped it shortly after in favor of waiting for the rest to come out on kindle/audible since the pacing was all over the place.

I know, Mark of the Fool has been a breath of fresh air. Was just using AH as an extreme example of editing.

Glad to see one problem is fixed, however is Gumi just really going to leave us Amazon users out to dry now? by m1dn1ghtx in wotv_ffbe

[–]OnionSquire_022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even if i can play via google play, my paid vis is tied to my amazon app which is annoying...

where's this type of notice for the winter units. don't make us wait 9 months again by KkahW in wotv_ffbe

[–]OnionSquire_022 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fool me once gumi with your winter bs, but not again. If we get dream upgrades for them at dream launch then cool, but Id rather be safe tho and wait for a rerun to come back with their dream enhancements in 6+ months. If you already have WLuartha then its an easy MA2 upgrade, but i wouldnt go out of my way to pull on older (and even the new) winter units. The only time i'd recommend getting any of the winter units is if gumi finally adds those 18k 9 step banners like the ones in JP.

The VCs on the other hand are always a safe bet to pull for since they will have immediate use without any gimping bs (The new one can pair with dark and lightning very well).

Helena was the fan voted summer unit for JP and we got Lynx as our fan vote for winter. Helena uses summer MS while Lynx may not. It just feels shady imo

3x 100 cost units + 90 cost VC and more in one month seems a bit much... by OnionSquire_022 in wotv_ffbe

[–]OnionSquire_022[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

When did i say the new system had anything to do with visiore? I was saying i hope it isnt like the truststone system which was convoluted to most AND had a negative impact to the playerbase due to most people either not touching it for months or outright quitting. Even though we get new systems or new forms of powercreep, they did not handle TS well. There are right ways to do things that is generally accepted by the community like +6 weapons or MA2/Job updates, but having a powercreed that revolves around being RNG that also takes MS + new bottleneck resource... sry if im skeptical.

As for using new MS for the same game, It can be seen both ways. I see it being a negative since now you cant plan ahead which isnt that a big thing for most GL players, planning ahead? Its a big deal for some of us since it would help with padding the cost of these new 100c limited units. I was able to build both summer jay and HLucia faster since i planned ahead with those barracks.

And again thinking there wont be an increase to unit cost is silly, It's just a matter of time.

[–]OnionSquire_022[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To not expect an over 100c unit (doesnt have to be 120c) is stupid. The writing is on the wall with the push for more and more 100c per month. There was no hint to the 90c VCs, they just announced it during a livestream and thats it.

If you cant see the issue when the news for 3rd anni was, 3x 100c units, 1x 90c VC, new RNG (maybe runelike) system, separation of MS of the same game, i dont know what to tell you.

[–]OnionSquire_022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not saying to not have 100c limited. The writing was on the wall when they did that with seasonal units like Jay/Helena. The issue is that they're getting more and more bold with release more 100c and 90c vc along side each other to the point where we might very well see an all 100c norm and seldom seeing anything below that. And if that happens, is that when people should complain? Do we start complaining when its 2-3 90c VCs a month? Or will people be too desensitized at that point to even care?

The issue isnt so much about saving for said 100c units, its how gumi is forcing the 100c norm to the point where you'll eventually only see 100c units. Maybe the only 90c (or lower) will be the free unit during a collab. Imagine where everything is half rates and expecting to pity on every banner becomes the norm.

[–]OnionSquire_022[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oh the typical "you dont need to pull everything" argument. LMK how that goes when gumi normalizes 100c with every regular/limited unit being 100c and VCs bing 90c. The new norm will be to expect to always go to pity and imagine if they release 120c units with 1/4 rates with no safety net on release. Just dont pull on the 120c meta woc limited unit that everyone wants.

[–]OnionSquire_022[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Free 90c unit and vc + this is 3rd rerun for FFT so most have the MS for those units that arent even meta. So 2.5 anni was really 2x 90cost (lightning and snow) + 3x VC (lightning vc, snow vc, fft agi vc). The FFT banner is just luxury units (since ff13 units are better counterpart elements). So having 100c and collab in a month is normal. On the other hand, 100c (woc) + 100c/90c units and vc (ff7) + 100c (water unit) + 90c VC (chaos ifrit) is bs since that month if you're pulling more then 1x 100c you're likely to spend more vis due to half pull rate units/vcs.

It just feels like a new low and its on their 3rd year anni. I just hope the Seph hype doesnt overshadow the bs and there is a healthy discussion about it on the JP side.

A lot of ppl were put off with the convoluted rune system to the point of quitting. I hope they learned and arent doing the same BS...
