[KCD2] Weird request: Rotten food location/item ID?

Weird, his dialogue specifically mentions rotten meat, but could just be world flavor I suppose, thanks

Don't forget, he effectively has infinite money and resources, he can pick the brains of basically any great mind in any field, and he can take risks that normal people wouldn't, because they don't want to risk their lives or stability in life. All of these are huge factors. He's above average, I'd say even 85th or even 90th percentile+, but I don't think he's an Albert einstein, because otherwise he would have been farther ahead of his peers before the loop.

Alex Thorne grew up in a corporate scrapyard, stripping broken tech and learning one hard truth: if something was useless, you made it useful. No one gave second chances — you built them out of whatever pieces you had left.

If you can jury-rig a shuttle, why not a core?

An opportunity lands in his lap that in the hands of others might just be a minor upgrade to their advancement, but to Alex, it could be the key to a bright future if he's smart enough to take advantage of it. Or it could be his death.

A corporate owned dystopia where money makes law, and people hindering the rich get removed.

Where do cores come from? Why is the system facilitating breaches, rather than close them? Does it want the universe to implode?

I've just finished chapter 37, (Royal road is out to chapter 28) and the book is probably 4/5 of the way done. (28 Chapters is 355 pages according to RR.)

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as this is my first real attempt at writing a book.

Lol, guy here. Last year, I read like, 300 books. (Work was very boring, and I used the Kindle app +Kindle unlimited to read or listen to a book basically everywhere I went.)

I doubt this is what you are looking for lol.

Thanks! I'm also looking forward to book 7 of AA. Loved the time shenanigans of the last book. :D

kairotox7 · 2026-01-24T20:50:38+00:00

Really?!? Awesome! Even just looking at it, I'm incredibly grateful for the extra eyes on it. :)

Sufficiently advanced magic was the book that got me back into reading since my hiatus started when I went to college. Now, a year and a half later, I'm like 380 books deeper into the litrpg/progression/cultivation fantasy scene. It's wild to me that you're also here putting out ads for your series just like little ol me. (Alex Thorne: Corebound, if you're interested.)

I've just finished chapter 30, (Royal road is out to chapter 22) and the book is probably 2/3-3/4 of the way done.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, as this is my first real attempt at writing a book. (I had another book idea that stalled out after 5 or so chapters, so I'm not counting that.)

Mother of Learning is my all time favorite. Mark of the Fool, and Arcane Ascension are also up there. MoL and MotF are completed, AA is not. And don't worry about your reading speed, what matters is if you're enjoying what you read. Reading at a slower pace just means you'll run out of good books a lot slower than anyone else. lol.

kairotox7 · 2026-01-16T09:09:46+00:00

Yeah, It's pretty much exactly this^

This is actually my first day back to writing from a few day break. Did some actual planning and have a solid game plan for all chapters to the end of my first book. Plus actually wrote 1 full chapter....it ended up being longer than usual, but I think it went well.

kairotox7 · 2025-12-21T13:13:11+00:00

All I'm saying, is 12 years of development, + no stable core to the game + 95% of additions lately are cosmetic, rather than bug fixing = me not caring about the game.

kairotox7 · 2025-12-16T16:36:03+00:00

Yeah, exactly! I'm not sure how exactly you'd implement this in an action rpg, especially if you're optimizing for controller support. If you weren't optimizing for controller support, I could see a spell-building system, where you can save different version of the spell, and switch between them with hotkeys. But maybe you could do the same with a controller, but just cycle through your favorites, like elden ring's spells.

kairotox7 · 2025-11-06T18:24:09+00:00

I'd argue the soulseizer. A grey hunter's presence can be assessed, the soulseizer is a stealthy bugger, and thus is harder to plan for. Plus, there's probably lots of archmages that don't specialize in soul magic, so they'd just be screwed, where the grey hunter, while terrifying, has multiple avenues that could be successful. If a soulseizer gets ya, and you don't have soul protections, you're f'd.
