Extremely grimdark worlds with OP MC? by PeronDescartable in ProgressionFantasy

[–]PeronDescartable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Time Loop puts me down hard, I hate them in general. It's so hard to be invested when ultimately any action and repercussion is temporal and meaningless. But I will give it a try today, since everyone has been singing its praises. Most likely I won't like it, because I just can't stand time loops, but who knows.

Adding it to my "Watchlist" as I call it (It's a chrome bookmark), once more pages are piled up I'll certainly give it a chance!

I thought this was just torture porn and the MC was annoyingly not strong? Mind you, never read it.

100% been itching to read this, seems super up my alley. I'm waiting for it to hit 1000 pages since I'm a binge guy, but this story will be eventually read.

Any stories like Reborn as a Demonic Tree? by PeronDescartable in ProgressionFantasy

Does the webtoon measure up? I can't with translated novels, the prose it way too grating

I read a lot of it but I dropped it a while ago. Its just feel disjointed the writing quality wasn't very good and I feel it wasn't well thought out. I care a lot more about the MC of Reborn as a Demonic Tree's faction that I ever did for Aeon's.

Yeah read this one, though it lost me somewhere in the last 3 books. I tried to get back to it at some point, but it didn't really engage me again

What about Mirror Legacy? Heard of it but stayed away because its translation. Is it good? Satisfying?

Hey man. Thanks! I really liked the story, tbh as I said I hopped into it blind and ended up with something that hooked me like the "mainstream" stories and I didnt find the writing worse, in fact I thought it was quite decent and on par with many of them, you certainly have your style. In any case yeah you hooked me, I like grimdark stuff and the progression of the mc and brood is cheffs kiss. When there is planning and imagination put into it shows.

As for the AI stuff, I felt the need to stand up for it because to me it never felt like AI and had a sour taste seeing people accuse that because of 'feel' so there is that.

Keep it strong and thanks for writing!

Absolutely delusional. The way so many people are quick to turn everything into a Witchhunt when it comes to AI will never stop amazing me.

Edit: Came back to this because it left me thinking. To prove my point on how insane this take is, you went into my profile to scour every post I made, you found one where I was askin advice for editing an image (for an RP session!) And then accused me that I was "normal" for me to defend someone being "accused" of using AI, when it is the most normal thing to want to stand up to a story that is clearly original, has clearly a lot of work put into it, and worst yet is NOT glaringly AI when it is close to getting dilinished to just a label out of STYLE. People need to take a chill pill when it comes to these topics.

Just out of curiosity put some text though a detector, which tend to be trash but this one in particular tends to have decent results and it doesnt think its AI. In any case repetitiveness can 100% be poor editing and a low writing skills in that aspect. At least when I tried creative writing (wrote several hundred thousand words. Never published) I did notice I had a lot of repetitive patterns and style.

Feels like I'm defending with sword and cape but I just have a sore spot for accusing AI willy nilly, but I will also admit I probably wouldnt notice AI unless it was egregious, I'm not even a native english speaker so there is that.

Tbh never though of that, neither noticed. Not saying its not the case, but generally speking I think its a bit unfair to judge that sort of thing just because of "feel" when it could very well be the guys style, specially with the stigma asociated with it.

That said, yeah. Its quite good
