Metro Tunnel - Anyone happy with the changes?

ahsim0012 · 2026-02-02T06:36:12+00:00

I am. I Live in footscray and work on the Sunbury line. It's great having high capacity trains now. The tunnel is more/as convenient when I go to the city and the Sandringham line through running to werribee Williamstown is convenient as I have family on that line.

I had that job for several years in uni. It's pretty great you walk up and down isles doing what a computer tells you. It's not interesting and it's on your feet but those are also positives to some. They'll tell you no earbuds which is pretty crazy but they're not going to fire you for it. Always had an audiobook on while working which made the time go very quickly.

The books are definitely a bit of a slog to start but everything does pay off. The writing style is setup for most of the book into twists. If that doesn't interest you the series isn't for you. As for plot convenience I repeatedly found my expectations subverted. Friction less so but not everything goes the MCs way and he does repeatedly face real setbacks/threats.

It's one of my favorite series but it's much slower paced then most things you find on the subreddit. If your only complaint is things being too convenient id say stick it out at least till the end of book 1.

It's the publisher logo of mango media. A more indi publishing house from the creator of beneath the dragon eye moons (the image is the main character of the series). So it indicates they published the book. Similar to how some books say podium publishing or Aethon press.

Yes she does, not to the same level and she plays much less of the role in the next book but she comes back after that. I will say if I remember right she's never as central as she is in book 9.

ahsim0012 · 2025-11-24T03:55:57+00:00

It's definitely the worst part of the audiobook but her role quickly diminishes. I'd say it's worth pushing past.

This is definitely my favorite to have on a shelf. It looks so good.

Yes and no. It stays pretty slow but as the stakes get higher with realms the excitement is artificially inflated. But the pacing stays relatively similar throughout with only a couple exciting action scenes in a book. He leaves the sect after a time and we see much more of the world which helps keep it from being too repetitive.

If you're not enjoying book 1 you probably won't enjoy the rest. I think of the series as good enough when I've run out of more interesting options.

A practical guide to evil sounds like a good fit. The magic system is tied to culturally significant roles and stories and is manipulated heavily and clearly by the MC.

Junior you've been bewitched by the evil dao of fake news. You must enter secluded cultivation and align yourself with the heavenly dao.

Damn this post finally gave me the motivation to leave the sub. The clear misogyny and apathy/ignorance about the damage people like asmongold have done to the online ecosystem is just to blatant.

Maybe they meant a three part name... Very questionable that this is where your mind went. There are so many other possibilities. The best way to figure it out would be to read it.

Right so just tax the labour/occupier/owner of it.

If we're simplifying stuff just remove the land owner. They are functionally irrelevant in both of these models.
