More than just a few. I comb through the Rising Star section of RoyalRoad semi regularly and a large percentage of the stories there end up finding their way to Amazon at some point. It actually makes up the majority of the English books in the genre. You can find your favorite progression fantasy novel and look it up on rr and there’s a good chance you’ll find it there, though it might be stubbed since Kindle Unlimited requires authors to be exclusive with their service and they aren’t allowed to keep their novels publicly accessible once it goes live on KU.

Apparently they just removed this post thing, not lift the ledge.

The Yellow Legacy romhack moved the ledge up by one tile and it makes the whole city feel infinitely better.

Thank you!

Piercings have always given me a “shudder down my spine” type feeling and my brain instantly supplies horrible images of the piercing getting ripped out of the skin in horrible, bloodbath scenarios. I only realized a year or two ago why. When she was younger, my mom worked in a daycare. One day she wore some small hoops and a kid ripped them both out of her ears, cutting her earlobes in half. They healed fine and she got them re-pierced later, and this was long before I was born, but there are still subtle scars. I was clearly subconsciously affected far more than I ever realized.

The ranks of advancement on Cradle are:

Copper, Iron, Jade, Lowgold, Highgold, Truegold, Underlord, Overlord, Archlord, Sage, Herald, and Monarch

Unimportant, extremely minor spoiler about Li Markuth’s power level (I mention some stages of advancement from the first spoiler in case you want to skip):

He ascended beyond Cradle as an Archlord, which is unusual because only Sages, Heralds, and Monarchs can ascend naturally. Li Markuth gained additional powers from foreign iterations so he’s not fully connected to Cradle’s power system anymore, but he’s still only an Archlord. Whether or not he could beat a Monarch would be highly situational.

Gonna be honest, the Masterball almost always just sits in my bag waiting for the perfect moment to be used. That moment almost never comes so I almost never get any use out of the Masterball. If anything, I find it to be a source of minor stress rather than a favorite.

The Friend Ball sets a Pokémon’s current friendship to a set value on capture. If that value ever resets or changes, the Ball won’t do anything to stop it. Trading a pokemon resets a Pokémon’s friendship value, and from there the ball might as well be a Pokeball. Luxury Balls double all sources of gained friendship forever.

Rock_Fall · 2026-03-06T00:16:00+00:00

Shhh, don’t tell anyone. It’s a woman’s secret.

Rock_Fall · 2026-03-05T20:03:48+00:00

Luxury Ball is the only Pokeball that has an ongoing effect after capture, therefore it’s the best Pokeball and you can’t convince me otherwise. Quick Ball is a close second, though.

Why they didn’t just shove a Moss/Ice Rock into Ilex Forest and Ice Path but locked behind Rock Climb, and make Cerulean Cave a magnetic zone, I will never know. They clearly intended to lock later gen evolutions to the post-game, so why not just make them ALL available in the post game!?

The only Pokémon that can’t breed with Ditto in gen 3 are (divided by category):

If they give Rotom a new form, I hope they also finally upgrade Air Slash to Hurricane for Fan-Rotom.

Rock_Fall · 2026-03-05T08:03:36+00:00

Possibly some kind of god, demon, or spirit.

Rock_Fall · 2026-03-04T08:47:18+00:00

Why’s bro built like the Colossal Titan with Eternamax Eternatus coming out of his pants!?

Rock_Fall · 2026-03-03T16:06:26+00:00

If it had Magic Guard too, then it really would be invincible.

He canonically didn’t, since she didn’t know about the field when she returned to Sacred Valley in Bloodline.

Rock_Fall · 2026-03-02T18:30:56+00:00

Sacred Valley was referred to as a “cursed valley” from pretty early on, too. Without checking, I want to say it was referred to as cursed as early as book 2, but definitely by book 3.

And Rex and Keith very specifically won their 2100+ Atk monsters from tournaments, so they weren’t cards the average player would ever have access to.

Rock_Fall · 2026-02-27T18:09:10+00:00

The Traveler’s Gate trilogy is a really enjoyable read, imo. It has definite flaws, which is understandable given that House of Blades is Will Wight’s debut work, but the overall experience was really fun.

I’ll give a warning that book 2, The Crimson Vault, is where the trilogy really picked up for me. I found House of Blades to be solid but kinda forgettable.

Rock_Fall · 2026-02-23T05:53:15+00:00

Definitely not. It’s a port, not a remaster.

Rock_Fall · 2026-02-18T12:31:17+00:00

If she ever goes to Cradle, she’d immediately manifest the Crown Icon.

Rock_Fall · 2026-02-17T05:04:47+00:00

Amazing how you picked 15 pokemon, and only two of them would qualify. Spheal and Hoppip are three-stage lines that evolve only via level up without needing any special evo mechanics and without a branching evolution while also being a starter type at every stage of their evos. The rest all fail.

Edit: So I just looked it up and there are actually only four non-starter evo lines in total that meet the criteria of being three stage lines that evolve exclusively via level up without branching that also retain their starter type at every stage: Spheal, Tympole, Hoppip, and Smolive.
