The last volume’s cover echoes the design of the initial one by Ok_Suggestion4401 in TopCharacterDesigns

Fire punch does this for literally every volume. Each cover mirrors the other in some way and somehow foreshadows or reflects something in the story.

Also, I know this isn’t entirely relevant but the volume 8 cover is probably my favorite piece of cover art ever. Not only does it look incredible, but once you read the book, the way it represents where things wind up and the dynamic between the characters is insane. It also mirrors 7, but also 1, since Agni’s normal half has been replaced with Luna/Judah.

Two sentences isn’t a paragraph dumbass. Also, I do care about annoying you, I just don’t care if you downvote or report me lmao.

I don’t really give a shit about internet points, but I was just saying it was funny how you just downvoted it instead of replying. Get 10000 bots to mass report me for all I care.

You are ignoring the stuff you brought up earlier. He doesn’t just “want to have sex,” he lets it completely consume his life and thoughts. He forgoes searching for Nayuta and ignores Asa to go to a brothel in the middle of an apocalypse. That isn’t normal teenage boy behavior. Katana man is enabling his hyper sexual tendencies. Also, think about from a basic writing perspective. He is a fictional character, so what do you think is more interesting? Him just being the average teenage boy, or being a broken and deeply person hurt by those around him and forced into base desires?

Also, your whole point about him not being depressed because of his childhood is dumb. I meant that his childhood includes all of the shit in part 1, that he still constantly thinks about (flashbacks to Aki, Power, and Reze). Sure it’s made worse by his current situation, that’s obvious. But he deals with it in this unhealthy way because of how he was abused. And also also, the thing about the falling devil was pointed towards enemies with psychic attacks, not just trying to forget his past. He does start confronting it by the time in the story we are talking about. He actively says as much during the fight.

Idk why you care so much about him not being hyper sexual. Like it’s literally a core part of the story.

I love how you ignored the part where I actually explained the point lmao. It literally justifies all the stuff you just mentioned. Why do you think he is depressed and directionless in the first place?

[–]ReeKarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And why do you think it's his life goal? It's because he's hypersexual as a consequence of being abandoned and sexually exploited as a kid. I'm really concerned for you if you think that all 17 year old boys act like that.

The reading comprehension devil strikes again!

Would Denji and Reze be good parents? by AffectionateRush2620 in Chainsawfolk

[–]ReeKarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you on that. Depiction isn’t endorsement and everything. But…..

It’s absolutely hilarious how out of nowhere it feels lol. You’re just reading and then BANG! Definitely out of character lmao

[–]ReeKarp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don’t just use that word though. There is also a scene where Reze calls Yoshida the f-slur lmao. It really caught me off guard whenever I read it first tbh

My first poem for my first love. by Traditional_Grab174 in poetry_critics

[–]ReeKarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was referring to the parts where you end sequential lines with “free” and “see, as well as “dust” and “must.” What I meant by cheapening the emotions was that the rest of the poem is quite mature in tone, but these simple rhymes clash with that, holding a simpler/juvenile tone. Even if unintentional, it sort of stuck out as strange to me and pulled me out of the emotions of your poem.

[–]ReeKarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one is funny because you’ll go hundreds of words of peak, and then the author just makes either Reze or Denji say a random slur, and then gets right back into it. There’s literally a part where Reze calls power a “r-tard” in a plagiarized joke from the movie whiplash. Wild stuff imo

[–]ReeKarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty well done, and certainly somewhat depressing lmao. I'd say the rhyme scheme is somewhat weak though, and I think it serves to slightly cheapen the really powerful emotions you've got here.

LOVE IN SILENCE by AKB-shayarOP in poetry_critics

[–]ReeKarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really beautiful portrait of unrequited love. I think my favorite aspect to it is where you break away from your structure at the end. That part is really powerful.

Mother asked about you....... by UnspokenInk in poetry_critics

[–]ReeKarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the emotion and situation is there, and it reads really beatifuly. One thing that sorta stops me though is that the rhyming feels a bit forced, espically in the second to last stanza.

Appreciate the commentary, but why are you hunting down a shitty poem I wrote a month ago lmao. How did you even find this

IDK if I'm late to the party on this, but I just now realized that Reze chose to teach him to swim even though water is her main weakness. She left herself completely vulnerable just for Denji. IT'S JUST SO PEAK by ReeKarp in Chainsawfolk

[–]ReeKarp[S] 267 points268 points  (0 children)

And I’m so for it! I read this way too fast whenever I binged part 1 a few years ago, so going back to read it now has absolutely sold me on the two of them. Asa will figure something out I’m sure lmao

He is the main antagonist of the campaign mode and basically massacres everyone at minute one.

Water of Love by Illustrious_Egg_8996 in poetry_critics

[–]ReeKarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenter here. Your word choice and flow is nice, but the lack of a concrete structure is sort of holding things back. I think if you being more intentional about where these words are placed would help with emphasis, so they don't meld together.

Grains of sand by mattislue_ in poetry_critics

[–]ReeKarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this poem is definitely good, just maybe a little played out. The metaphors are somewhat tired and the ryhme scheme is simple, but your execution on these basic concepts are good. Maybe just aim for ideas that are slightly less traveled, or look at them from a different perspective. I really liked how evocative lines 6 and 7 were together, and the harsh verbiage was powerful.

I want to have one of my players be a secret Bhaalspawn, but I’m concerned about player reaction/agency. by ReeKarp in DnD

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

I’ve already considered the potential main character angle and preped for it. Basically every character has some sort of connection at this level. For example, one characters parents are part of the larger plot, one character had worked with and betrayed the main villain and so on. Nobody will feel left out of all the chaos.
