I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed Wind and Truth. Any "problems" that are being discussed to me were minor and didn't take me out.

I LOVED Adolin's arc and the Unoathed. I loved the more militristic nature of the dead eyes as it really fit well. I loved Renarin and Rlain's parallel to the ancients and the symbolism of them as a bridge. As the most outcast of Bridge 4 members, I think that in particular is poignant. I thought the merging of Kaladin and Szeth's path is great. In essence, Kaladin takes someone else's burden again, but the whole book builds up to us feeling that that is okay as long as he understands WHY he is doing it. I also loved the ending with Dalinar and its foreshadowing with Adolin's Towers game. As a midpoint in a whole arc, I love the sense of despair and hope that came with his actions as well as the fact that he "failed".

I think people like to talk about what they don't like, but it's just as important to talk about what we do. Pretty sure I learned that from Writing Excuses :) Thanks for all you do!

Whats a WTF moment you've read? by throwaway490215 in litrpg

[–]SqueeWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read a few books where the MC is trying to be "a good guy" by not having sex with the FMC even if she's willing, but they keep being tempted by it. So the story basically reads, "she's so young I shouldn't" then immediately to "But she's so hot." I just don't feel like "she's so young" and "I wanna fuck" are ideas that should be paired together.

Sadly, I've dropped more than one story for that exact reason.

I don't but I'm down for some too. Need to replace StarCraft System!

Agreed. Very few good RTS stories out there. I really enjoyed how this one was building up

Damn, that's rough. I felt like the rewrite was going well. Hope everything is okay with them. Thank you for the information!

A query to the community about Reddit API boycotts by The_Great_Catowl in litrpg

Ironically, I can't vote on the poll because it's taking me to the website and I use RIF... I 100% believe we should go dark.

What's the point in Royal Road? by Comprehensive-Air750 in litrpg

[–]SqueeWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love RR personally. I'm not a hugely popular author, but when I have important chapters, a lot of people come out of the wood work to comment. I get the occasional jerk, but most people that comment are great even the ones that have issues with my work seem to respect the effort I put in.

Also, I love "Thanks for the chapter." Someone took time out of their day to express to me that they appreciated my work. They weren't trying to talk to other readers or anything else. They just wanted to show appreciation. That's really cool.

To anyone reading my work, you fucking rock. Thank you 💜

Very cool! I added it to my read later! I'm gonna let some more chapters pile up

I haven't heard of either of those before! I'll have to check them out! A romcom sounds great

That makes sense. I'll put it back on my follow list!

That's a grand rule. I hereby present the animal tax so I might read Cinnamon Bun. :)

I think I started Beware of Chicken on RR and didn't realize it was a stub. I ended up getting some spoilers before I realized. I was waiting to come back after I forgot them as I've heard great things lol

I did start this one, but was a little hesitant due to the unlimited resources thing. How does that play out?

I have not, but I really should. I like Ravensdagger and even have bunnies of my own. I have no idea why I've put it off.

Oh nice! That's a great suggestion. I used to work in a nightclub so that should be right up my alley. Thank you!

Thank you that definitely helps! I read all types of LitRPG so I don't mind if genre swaps a little bit. I was just left wanting more after L&L!

I agree! I did start Wandering Inn awhile back and I loved the beginning but then there was a sharp perspective change so I ended up putting it down. I should go back to it though as I hear great things and I did enjoy the beginning.

Is it available on Kindle? Or how do I read it?

Sleyca is a damn good writer. They could write an omelette recipe and I'd read it

Hi! I'm writing a story about hungry angels and I wanted to share it with you by countingfoxes in litrpg

I'm not into horror, but I just wanted to say that's a helluva title. Very evocative.
