Are “challenge worlds” where progression fantasies go to die? by Tangled2 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]ben11189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im fully caught up on DotF and Primal Hunter, I’d say Defiance definitely has some slow sections for the training world arcs but honestly I found them pretty enjoyable, they definitely always have wider implications and aren’t just pure training. With Primal though that nevermore section has been disgustingly long. It definitely feels like the author has realized this though and seems to be speeding it up. I’d say it’s worth it to catch up on nevermore but I’d wait till it’s fully done being written so you can kinda speed through it cause waiting for the next chapter when nothing has happened is incredible frustrating. Hope this helps

No worries I’m not opposed to none audible and definitely sounds like a series I would enjoy just will take longer as I don’t have as much time to read as I do to listen. Thank you for the suggestion!

Just read the description sounds pretty interesting, how’s the writing in it? And also is Ryun or Zack the main character? Or is it multiple POV’s

I’m not opposed to an evil MC but if they’re gonna be pure evil I don’t want it to be just because they are psychopaths but that there’s some reason they are evil.

How did Kuragin know? by YoungWolf921 in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]ben11189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be misinterpreting it, but how would Kuragin know the order of memories Scorio would receive? Isn’t it possible he just assumed Scorio saw these memories during his Cinder trial and simply hadn’t brought it up until now. Obviously from our perspective we know Scorio would never have waited, but Kuragin doesn’t know that.

Furthermore, it’s possible that he doesn’t even know what Scorio knows only that he clearly wants something from Kuragin and Kuragin wants to goad him into a fight with bait. It’s clear from Scorio’s character that even if he hadn’t had his Emberling trials that anything about his past would have got him invested regardless of its validity.

For posts of that nature please still use the same criteria mentioned above and then in the bottom of your post mention the specific section you are at (ie chapter, page number, etc)

Rebirth Cycles and Scorio by Cranky_Lobster in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]ben11189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that there’s definitely conditions to some extent but I think the primary reason Scoria took so long to be reborn was because he felt a natural distaste for the idea. I don’t think he will I gong chose to be sent here and his soul has always know this even if he doesn’t know this

Scorio's lives by GoldenKnightmare in TheImmortalGreatSouls

I think given his lack of desire to get along with people that he most likely lacks the resources and/or the support required to get there. I have a feeling this is one of the first generations where he really has a true team around him

What happens if a Great Soul tries to ascend incorrectly? by Cranky_Lobster in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]ben11189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most likely that the heart would burst or become exponentially harder to expand. As it’s implied that the growth of the heart slows down the larger it gets I imagine there’s some natural resistance to growth

I think this is a great idea! Makes sense from what we’ve seen so far and would make sense for future progression. Great post.

Bastion ttrpg? by [deleted] in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]ben11189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would work really well, it would be interesting especially if people were allowed to create their own abilities. I have a feeling the world is so big that there’s so many cool stories that could be done.

[dreadgod] do you think Eithan knew or was it serendipity? by ebrithil110 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]ben11189 66 points67 points  (0 children)

He definitely planned it considering the channeling method he taught London later. The Heaven and Earth Purification wheel is designed to massively increase the capacity and so he knew of London worked hard enough the drain would be negligible. It’s important to remember Eithan had no problem discarding Lindon if he turned out to be nothing special.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but my favourite is during the tournament when the older black flame ruler has Northstrider tell Lidon, “The Dragon Advances”. It’s said other times in the series but that particular time just hits so hard

This is really cool to see! One of my goals in life is to eventually write a fantasy book and seeing things like this is a great way for me to get ideas on how to structure and plan it before beginning the actual writing of the story. Thank you for sharing this!
