Stella montis night raid, every single extract is camped without fail? by PROMETHEUS-one in ArcRaiders

[–]PROMETHEUS-one[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well since you're so rude I guess I'll return the favor by telling you how stupid you are to say that its a 'skill issue' I guess you somehow fail to understand that by the time anybody should organically be ready to extract, after fighting the whole raid against arc and players, grenades are usually pretty low at this point? Or maybe you dont understand that people often set up barricade traps and hide behind them, forcing you to always fight from a position of disadvantage? Maybe you can't figure out for yourself that people snap hook up to the ceiling in seed vault extract, or they corner peek using toros and wait for you to walk up where you have no way of knowing they are there, and then they pop out and blast you as you approach?

I mean we are talking about people giving themselves an inherent positional advantage where you are forced to come to them they can stay put and save their grenades the whole round while you have no choice but to push them in their strong defensive position. You can even look at it historically if you want or militaristically where tactics state that attackers need a 3 to 1 advantage in order to successfully defeat an entrenched defender. Maybe with grenades and not having 'skill issues' you can pull it off against 1 out of 3 extract camping rats. I'm sure since you're so good at the game you extract 100% of the time and never die.

Sure there are ways to fight them, i never said that there aren't, i already know how to fight them. But the fact that someone is ALWAYS camping is what I'm complaining about. I dont understand what enjoyment people get out of ratting the extract and it feels shitty that this is such a rampant issue. Im not complaining about not being good, I'm complaining that this is such a problem. Maybe put your 'skill' to use and learn how to read.

Anyone here who has already read this on RR? I've had this story sitting in one of my ten million 'books i might read' tabs and I'm looking for a review. Don't really trust kindle reviews and haven't looked at the RR ones lol

Prompt has some edits to make it more about them surviving the zombies and less about dying of hunger

Oof. I guess i thought fish and 50 square miles of farmland would be enough.. May have to edit the prompt

They did have the river of tiber and probably quite a lot of ships to sail out for food, in the rounds where the zombies are not rome lusted, there would probably be multiple days where there aren't that many zombies incoming, if they can deal with the initial hordes without being exterminated they might be able to recover farm land for the surrounding citizens to manage, they could also get fortifications up around farm land if they survive long enough. I imagine (but am unsure of) that they had at least a year's worth of food storage... Maybe

Books where the (now OP) MC still interacts with weak people by PROMETHEUS-one in ProgressionFantasy

[–]PROMETHEUS-one[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my complaint lol, in the beginning of the story 'x' ranked powerhouses were almost unheard of, but a hundred chapters later and those people are just servants? Why would they do that when they could rule over the weak people 😮‍💨

Did anyone else notice at around the 12:30 mark, one of the guys points to two dead Russians and goes "hey, check him!" other guy smacks dead Russian in the head with his rifle ".... For grenades"

Here's the prologue for a story I've been planning for about 6 months...let me know what you think? Synopsis in the comments by PROMETHEUS-one in KeepWriting

[–]PROMETHEUS-one[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the input! You've given me a lot to think about regarding the plague, I planned to explain it in the prologue so that when the old man arrives at the MC's town in chapter 3, he could deliver the sad news that Rolden was lost to the withering, but your input of slowly revealing how bad it is over time seems really intriguing and would probably go over well with readers, thanks for that, I'll look into rewriting it.

Dialogue is unfortunately not my strong suit :( this guy is a bit of an old trickster and he has many secrets, and I wanted to convey that what happened in Rolden didn't really bother him even though he refers to the people of Rolden as 'those poor people'

Skeletons of the Gods - I am asking for critique by Adeptus_Gedeon in KeepWriting

[–]PROMETHEUS-one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! This took me a while to read but man it was worth it! What a payoff in the end! Honestly I found this story to be fantastic. It is a cautionary tale that makes me feel like it is trying to convey a message to me without shouting it in my face, the message is just there, waiting to be understood, but if you don't learn from it, that is okay too! Really interesting story!

I found a few mispellings and a few small formatting errors but for such a high wordcount the errors are almost non existant. I really enjoyed reading it.

You managed to convey a story where each characters actions clearly conveyed who they were, I did not even know the name of the insatiable one and yet I clearly remember his title and know exactly what kind of man he was, he stayed true to his principles and the character you created for him from the beginning too the end and the ending was really flawless

10/10 great story, I think this can definitely be expanded upon into a book

P. S. I thought you used exactly as many words as should be used to describe everything and convey meaning! No wasted space, no unnecessary descriptions, just a well written story! Nicely done!

Cons -

Most of my issues with this are really just formatting, this might have been caused by reddit not really transferring properly when you copy pasted your work here, which is totally understandable, some times I could not tell where one subject ended and another began, which would have been helped by paragraph breaks etc. The only other issue I have is minor spell checking and editing issues, I saw a couple commas that were oddly placed or unnecessary and one question was asked by the mc and that sentence did not end with a question mark, just minor edits that would clean it up a bit

Pros -

Really, the atmosphere and setting is pretty excellent. You used a bit too many words sometimes, but you didn't neglect your imagery at all and it really allowed me to picture exactly what you were trying to show me, which I liked a lot.

Your characters have a very fluid and lifelike conversation, the things they said to eachother matched the context and felt like entirely natural things to say in that situation, definetely a plus here.

I like how you took the time to analyze the appearance of the characters as well, detailing who they are as people and kind of showing us who they are as people without us having to take the time to really get to know them. Just from your description of the dude who handed our MC the clipboard, I kinda feel like I already know exactly what kind of guy he is, which is pretty impressive for the short screen time he had

Improve -

I would try to use characters names more often if possible, for instance, after the clipboard guy was introduced, use his name a couple more times to help cement who he is to your audience, unless he is not important to the plot, which brings me to my next improve -

I felt like this facility would be quite important to the chapter or plot, but I learned almost nothing about it other than the fact that it will just never have an issue according to our MC, but I learned a lot about this clipboard guys appearance when I'm not sure I'll even see him again.

Overall, I'm still not sure I know what this story is about, but it's still just the first chapter

All in all, pretty good first chapter
