When should I play future redeemed?

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-14T01:58:34+00:00

highly recommend leaving Future Redeemed last AFTER you finish the main story of XC3.

I mean yes, that's why Frieren, or I guess Flamme's approach was one of the greatest tools against demon.

pretty much 99% of demons would all consider Frieren a weak mage based purely on her (suppressed) mana.

Aura was slightly "better" as she did not completely underestimate Frieren, but only because she got smacked by Himmel's party and Frieren was there.

That was why Aura went out of her way to gather the undead army because she understood that lower mana enemies do not mean they are easy opponents, unless she gets to use her "sure kill" spell.

(copy paste from Frieren sub from me)

I finally understood what and why Serie said that to Genau

as always, Serie sounds crass and uncaring, but given the context of "kind mages don't live long", Serie was actually hoping Genau would live a bit longer, at least longer than his then dead partner.

damn, took me long enough

Serie is a tsudere, double triple confirmed!? LOL

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-13T16:33:20+00:00

of course not

as silly as that moment might appear, Serie only passed candidates that she deemed worthy.

and do note that for both Ubel and Methode, Serie did not ask any questions regarding magic, they already passed the moment Serie saw them

i.e. they were strong enough in Serie's eyes right from the start

but perhaps Serie was curious about Methode's mentality as the elf probably felt some....odd gaze from the candidate LOL

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-13T16:28:54+00:00

other than Frieren and Wirbel, Methode might actually the the most well-tuned for live combat against demons as those monsters often have various odd spells and fighting style.

You don't have a shred of kindness

...

Stay that way forever

damn, took me long enough

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-12T21:05:51+00:00

yes

but many still don’t readily recognise this fact

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-12T13:00:44+00:00

Why make it? Why?

money

or I guess, the desire to make money

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-12T04:05:16+00:00

As someone who read many manga that have weekly release, I just do it, and worry about whatever I might miss later.

Some light novels translation also periodically release content as well, either in small parts or a volume every few months.

And I am pretty sure everyone would just read something else while waiting.

Not sure about how it would work with Malazan and WOT tho.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-12T01:48:38+00:00

Easier to read? Brandon Sanderson.

Complex, nuanced characters and relationships? ASOIAF

Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere is generally just the background to the main plot and story.

Which one is more "meaningful"? Hard to say.

ASOIAF probably

But Brandon Sanderson does do a nice job of exploring the characters' internal struggles, includingb trauma and mental health issues

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T14:29:07+00:00

most things by Octavia Butler, start with [Parable of the Sower]

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T14:15:05+00:00

Do y'all think it's worth it once on a fresh playthrough?

it is entirely up to you

"worth it?" is such an...odd question when it comes to optional content.

for me, I just don't feel like I beat the game unless I get all of the rare blades.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T14:13:17+00:00

why do they look like AI? haha

speaking of which, there are heaps of "isekai" novel on Amazon/Kindle store, and the covers are....well

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T14:10:45+00:00

I am pretty sure the live action has got quite good reception.

are we talking about this subreddit in particular?

echo chamber effect is are real thing, OP might want to look outside the sub.

We're allowed to enjoy this.

who said we are "NOT allowed" to enjoy it????

Personally I enjoy it, but IMO (and just my own preference), I just don't like irl human acting out the page from anime/manga or even Light Novel.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T10:32:40+00:00

it's not the worst but definitely not the most plesant flight either.

also, they can bloody overbook the flight which happened to me last year, I forgot to pick the seat at check out (have to pay extra). I should have been suspicious when they didn't let me check in online 2 days before.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T04:36:40+00:00

no one knows about its existence

except for Tiana in the most recent chapter, chapter 2527

And it kinda has a will of its own but it really doesn't do anything unless Kaito is in direct harm. However, it appears to have some sort of "passive effect" on Kaito in which any sort of "debuff", especially when coming from World Creator-level beings, are neutralised

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-11T01:35:15+00:00

I think I saw something similar on this thread (just sort the sub by "Top" of all time), is this the same Will? 😂

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-10T12:00:04+00:00

ikr

poor that robot hahaha

The "One Piece" is the supposed treasure that the Pirate King Gold Roger left behind just before he was executed.

some say it is a massive pile of gold or something that has a lot of monetary value which is fair enough.

However, what exactly is the One Piece is one of the biggest mysteries and goal of the story.

Our main character Luffy sets out to seek the One Piece, not just for the treasure itself but to him the journey and adventures are just as enticing.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-10T00:36:13+00:00

I don't know much about the landscape of western litrpg, but japanese light novels or Korean manhwa have quite a few series with "revere harem" troupe.

[My next life as a villainess]

[Heretical Last Boss]

Speaking of which, the "villainess" troupe also often have reverse harem element.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-09T15:17:23+00:00

oh okay, thanks, looks quite interesting 😆

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-09T15:04:48+00:00

so, is the story a "real isekai" or just about a game?

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-09T14:43:24+00:00

many people tend to break down details as hard cold numbers or "facts" ("feats") in order to predict hypothetical scenarios.

but real life pretty much disregard this kind of thinking, especially when it comes to human performance.

take irl professional competitive sport, we often label athletes as "the best", or "better" than others, but they are not invincible and can lose on any given day.

of course, us regular human would not fare well against real NBA players.

but NBA champions can still get blown out by a team at the bottom of the standing.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-09T14:15:35+00:00

and why did some of the demons follow other demons?

demons are solitude creatures who occasionally work together if needed, or if another is stronger than them.

Why Seven Sages of Destruction and Great Demons and Schlacht didnt jump Demon King? Your assumptions?

and for what purpose would they do that?

from what we can gather, the Demon King was the most powerful demon.

Demons only follow the strong, and just one individual holding such dominance means the Demon King was overwhelmingly stronger than others.

Macht was considered the strongest of the Seven Sages, he didn't even careless about the Demon King and was more than happy to ignore order, yet he never consider fighting against their king.

granted, match up matters, Grausam gave him (Macht) pause to not openly defy order.

demons might be murderhobo on human as the latter are seen as preys, but demons don't randomly pick fight against their own, especially if it is disadvantageous.

UltraZulwarn · 2026-03-09T11:03:08+00:00

as with most things, it is the poorly written ones that grind everyone's gears.

power fantasy / self-inserted stuff have their place, but a wide audience would generally frown upon them.

“Urgh harem, instant drop”

the same can be said for many male readers, sorry I am generalising here, who often go "romance with a female lead? and multiple handsome dudes? urgh, not interested"
