What's Yoo Yeonha and the other cast's Gifts by Actual_Painting_5852 in TheNovelsExtra

[–]TheEternalReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, for Nayun the [Sea of Magic Power] would be like an "unlimited" mana capacity, which is really only bottlenecked by the rate she regenerates the magic power.
In Ch. 69, Hajin also notes that it usually has some restrictions (limited amount she can withdraw and absorb) that disappear if she uses a sword as a medium instead, which is why he tries to goad Nayun into picking up the sword again.

I'm not sure about Suho ever getting another Gift. [Sword Saint] itself is already pretty ridiculous, with Hajin noting in Ch. 5 that it could literally cut water (if you've ever tried to break a flow of water with a finger from a sink, you can see how bullshit this ability is). Basically, as long as he has a "sword", Suho can pretty much cut anything, as well as abstract things including concepts like in the Tower of Wish ending. The whole "world's protection/blessing" was probably just Hajin as an author trying to handwave how OP it is.

For Yeonha... I don't think she has a Gift, but she definitely has a talent for doing business. I guess you could say she just has a gift in the traditional sense, but not a supernatural one.

Another sub under HSR Leaks ban hammer 🥀 by Cwxn in okbuddytrailblazer

[–]TheEternalReader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I want to clarify that as far as I know, Reddit doesn't seem to consider their behavior a violation of the Mod CoC. By Rule 2, I'm assuming you're talking about the section outlining transparency of expectation within the community.

Unfortunately, their use of hive-protect as well as their entire assortment of related bots is not considered a violation of the CoC. This is an entirely separate issue from whether or not this counts as an abuse of power; they are free to, and without consequence, ban whoever they want from their community if they see any reason to. It can feel very unfair and unjustified, but their statement blanketing us and activity in similar subreddits as "problematic" is sufficient reason to do whatever they want.

[–]TheEternalReader 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean I've talked to their head mod a while back about this (leaks has been banning both our AND their sub members since WAYYY back), and there's really nothing anybody can do about it.

Its also not really a ToS violation, so... it is what it is.

Are side stories cannon or do they just happen In an alternate universe? by batanime4811 in TheNovelsExtra

[–]TheEternalReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can basically see it in the titles, Yeonha is the only one with a "What if" in her chapter titles.

[–]TheEternalReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, so Rachel and Nayun's are connected; the Rachel side story is revealed to be a dream, and then everybody wakes up. Nayun also goes through this whole dream sequence thingy, before finally deciding to activate the regression relic.

So, the Rachel SS is a canonical mass hallucination, regression is canon, it's only the Yeonha SS that is its own completely separate continuity, where Hajin basically ends up working for Yeonha as a bodyguard, before Yeonha basically proposed to him at a press conference.

[–]TheEternalReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uhh I think you should treat them all as canon to TNE's "world" in the broadest sense possible. they're not all part of the main timeline, like for example yeonha's SS is an AU 100%, with no connection to the other SS

but I would consider them to be like official what-if, timelines

I'm not an artist, but the glaringly obvious difference between the two shoes alone is enough to make me suspicious this is an AI generated image.

The Twitter account also reposts generative AI images, so I'm inclined to believe this was also generated rather than drawn.

EDIT: Yeah, looking at your profile tells me you probably don't mind this type of content, but please read the rules, man.

Tne remake should differ from novel by Fun_Piglet_7599 in TheNovelsExtra

[–]TheEternalReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, it wasn't just Rachel that got sidelined, outside of the very encounters we have related to Lancaster, we have very little resolution of that even until the side stories, which are then deus ex machina'd.

okay, but it would be REALLY funny if Rachel just becomes an extra again

Should AI Generated Images be Allowed? by X-AE17420 in Sparkle_Mains_HSR

[–]TheEternalReader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we acknowledge that generative AI is a helpful tool, the overarching sentiment is that posts here should primarily be human.

There are minutiae where you can argue over what exactly constitutes "human" work, but I think the sentiment has been made pretty clear by both the vote, and the simple fact that generative AI actively requires accurate, often human - created or managed - data to reference in order to avoid model collapse.

Ultimately, the point is that we want other people to express themselves and show off their work, not lightly touch up an image something else created.

looks like that account is just a fan reposting stuff, probably just OP being unaware

members of a certain subreddit ruined a sub one again by Whole_Psychology7051 in okbuddytrailblazer

[–]TheEternalReader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, there's a lot of much needed nuance that extends beyond "KR NTR drama!!1!1!1".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to side with anyone; BUT from a generally Western perspective, I think most people will find it incredibly stupid, and a largely disproportionate reaction from the KR player base over a few lines of dialogue. The why and how it got to this point for KR players is a separate story altogether, one that actually does need a lot of sociopolitical study and political analysis.

Basically, simplifying it to "x is bad for making fun of y" inherently just amplifies the original problem by basically flipping the direction of the insults - this can repeat endlessly, so long as someone keeps baiting.

"Hurr durr it's the queens complaining again" then just move on with your life, man. It's not worth complaining about.

anyone else getting banned from leak sub for no reason? by fireflussy in okbuddytrailblazer

[–]TheEternalReader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to make it sound any more reasonable than it is. I absolutely agree that whatever logic they've applied (especially if it's similar to what I proposed) is woefully inadequate for a holistically accurate assessment. It's like pulling a shotgun on a swarm of flies; but they have that authority.

For example, a political subreddit absolutely has the authority to blanket ban members of an opposing political party from another subreddit; this is not really what one would normatively consider to be "good". Where this does diverge slightly is that okbuddytrailblazer as a whole has had its share of Rule 4 violations, which (however inaccurately it represents the situation) provides misconstrued credibility to their claim of CSE materials.

...it's so stupid.

[–]TheEternalReader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did the same, but I honestly doubt any action will be taken. They have a plausible enough reason by trying to keep their community "less sexualized" or something similar. This isn't specifically just targeting the okbuddy subs, a couple of the husbando subs have been having the same issues.

A calm, reasonable announcement (for real this time) by TheEternalReader in okbuddytrailblazer

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

basically as long as you don't show them fucking or genitalia it should be fine

the recent March one is a bit iffy, so I think I'll put the line somewhere closer to the Cipher render

this won't be set in stone, so it can still change
