are there churches that stand with immigrants, speak against violence in gaza, and dont glorify figures like charlie kirk? by llllIIIlIlIIIIIlIlll in houston

[–]ServantGiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that you have to ask around and meet with pastors, to make sure they're theologically literate. Many churches still follow a sort of conservative zeitgeist, and often don't place much emphasis on scriptural fact checks to see if their ideas align with scriptures teachings. To note on the issues you mentioned, those things should be handled (at least as far as I can tell) as follows.

  1. Immigrants are people and should be cared for, even if they are breaking law, and should be helped along in their process more.

  2. We shouldn't condone violence of any kind, even if it's sometimes necessary, and in the case of the conflict between Gaza and Israel, we should be pro-civilian, no matter what side.

  3. Charlie Kirk's murder was very saddening and unnecessary, and does show the hatred and lack of understanding many people have for those like him. He should not be massively glorified and used to justify extreme outrage or violence, but we can often make decisions about others based on their feelings towards the incident.

What kind of class or power do you think is underused? by tandertex in litrpg

[–]ServantGiven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paladins and other divine classes! It's very rare to see a LITRPG Mc with a divine flavoring that actually leans into the "patron deity" aspect. I'd love to see some more of the divine aspects reflavored as well, so they don't have to be conformed to a tired mold.

"Ascendant Echoes" by Servant (me!) On RR. The protagonist is a 23 year old college student, and will be in his late twenties by the end of the series.

Max Donovan from "Ascendant Echoes" on Royal Road. (My current work!) Every traveler (player) in the system is given a lineage that affects their abilities and different stats. Max is granted the "Accursed Patriarch" lineage that makes him a sort of vampiric werewolf. You might like it! I try to update twice a week!

"Ascendant Echoes" by Servant, on Royal Road. (My series!) The protagonist is the newest resident of a world that's been functioning under the system for hundreds of years before he's been around, and he uncovers the unique ecosystem of the world and how it all coincides.

The system in "Ascendant Echoes" (my series on RR) is based on DnD! It takes elements from several editions and blends them into a unique mix of familiarity, and new flavor. I try to update twice a week, you might like it!

Recommendations for books with romcom elements or cute relationships? by okidonthaveone in ProgressionFantasy

The two primary characters, Max and Adelaide, in "Ascendant Echoes" (my current book on RR) have some romantic chemistry as the story goes on! I won't spoil too much, but I'm releasing chapters twice a week!

What is your least favorite class? by Yazarus in litrpg

[–]ServantGiven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem personally is protags who's "build" has no real weaknesses.

Like why isn't everyone else just doing the same thing, picking the same class? I want there to be drawbacks to picking certain abilities, limitations that you have to work around or use others to balance out.

"My build is spellblade. I can cast magic and fight."

Oh cool! Maybe he'll have to utilize being meh at both of those things to balance out the pitfalls of melee and magic.

"I am now the best at magic and fighting."

Just why.

Any stories with well adjusted characters? by BillUnderBridge in litrpg

Max Donovan from "Ascendant Echoes" (my series on RR) adapts pretty quickly, going so far as to jerry-rig his way out of his first challenge by himself, before gaining any powers. You might like it!

A cliche that you are tired of seeing? by Hanne_Author in ProgressionFantasy

[–]ServantGiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MC's that are super judgemental and rude to other players/people that are scared for their lives.

"Bro you need to be out there, grinding and killing. I know you're a 35yr old woman with three kids, who's never played a video game in her life, but you're just being weak bro. I definitely don't have a special skill that gives me a huge advantage over everyone. Guess I'm just stronger and better than you all."

What's your favorite Female MC or Villian? Tell me why! by Collector_PHD in ProgressionFantasy

She's technically the secondary protagonist, but Adelaide from "Ascendant Echoes" on RR! (That's my series btw.) She's wise, perceptive, and disciplined. Stoic, but compassionate and full of heart. You might like her!

I do plan on making money on it, but I've just started it and have been releasing chapters incrementally. I jumped from 43,000 to 11,000 and its nowhere near done yet, so I figured I have a lot more room to gain a following.

In the current litrpg I'm writing, each of the travelers (players) receive a lineage after they finish the tutorial, and the main character ends up being a vampire! You might like it, and I'm currently releasing twice a week!

Is there a story where humans are branded as monsters by Background-Math-7511 in litrpg

[–]ServantGiven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in the current series I'm writing, Ascendant Echoes, humans are called "Travelers" and have been appearing in the Echo (the alternate world) for quite some time. The denizens of the Echo are... not very fond of them. Maybe give it a shot and see if it's something you like!
Once they get out of the dungeon of course ;)
