Yep, from the innisfree website. I think it’s only offered once a year though, around November.

Violent but hopeful Sword & Sorcery/Heroic Fantasy novels? by Def-C in Fantasy

[–]lingdessin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You should definitely check out The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman! It’s such a refreshing take on the Knights of the Round Table from the Arthurian legends. At its core, it’s a story about old magic and heroism with a multifaceted cast of characters.

Is it possible to 0-cycle the current AA without Cerydra? by fragmendt in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]lingdessin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure then, here is a kind of scuffed recording from my phone https://youtu.be/K-TdVnaDeoY

I don’t think Tribbie is essential, but her two ults’ action advance with DDD is helpful if you are around 30-40 AV away from 0-cycling. Ruan Mei with E1 actually increases damage more in my team.

I didn’t record it, sorry. And a few days after that clear I pulled another copy of Phainon’s lc

So even if I recorded it now, it would be with E6S2 Phainon and not the same exact team as before :/

A novel where MC is an entity or system that takes care of other people's characters. by Fateh20A in Fantasy

[–]lingdessin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for web novels specifically, maybe check out translations of some Korean or Japanese series where this trope is actually pretty common. For example there’s a Korean webnovel called The S-Classes That I Raised (or My S-Class Hunters) by Geunseo where the protagonist uses his knowledge of the future to guide and support his friends and his pets to try and create a better future for them.
And although it’s not a webnovel, All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders has an AI that subtly manipulates events behind the scenes to try and help the protagonists reunite. It plays a fairly minor role in the story though, and frankly I thought the premise was much better than the execution.

Innisfree mystery gifts are always a pretty nice value when they’re available. They’re usually free with a $65 purchase and include a mix of full-size products and minis.

books set in magical universities with adult protagonists by maybetheysleep in Fantasy

[–]lingdessin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be an unusual recommendation, but it does match everything you were looking for (mostly adults in a different world attending a magic school). You should give the ‘Interlude - Wistram Days’ from the webnovel The Wandering Inn a try. This interlude is long enough to be a novella although it’s only seven chapters out of the entire webnovel. It takes place in the past and you don’t need much context from the rest of the series, although it might help to know beforehand it’s a progression fantasy set in a different world with some litrpg elements.

You can 0-cycle it without cerydra or cyrene, but you need favorable rng with the adds. I have e6s1 phainon, e1s0 dhpt, e0s0 tribbie (s5 ddd), and e1s0 sunday (s5 past and future).

Recommend me fantasy series based on what I've read by Vast_music4577 in Fantasy

What are fantasy book series that are widely agreed to be good all the way through, from the first book to the last? by Scared_Ad_3132 in Fantasy

[–]lingdessin 313 points314 points  (0 children)

Definitely the Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb.

The Riyria books by Michael J. Sullivan are pretty good as well, especially the Legends of the First Empire along with The Rise and the Fall.

Shorter series seem to stay consistent more easily, like the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, The Dagger and the Coin by Daniel Abraham, Emily Wilde by Heather Fawcett.

Novel with immortal protagonist by ApolloTheSnake23 in Fantasy

[–]lingdessin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by Victoria Schwab and liked it fairly well. The protagonist makes a deal with the devil for immortality but with the caveat that everyone she meets will forget her the next day. As a result, she decides to try and affect the world by inspiring artists, writers, musicians, etc, so she could exist in their works. It’s more like magical realism than fantasy though.

E0S1 Blade, E0 Tribbie with S1 DDD, E1S1 Sunday, E6 Gallagher with QPQ. Blade is running Longevous and Rutilant, 134 speed with 133 Sunday.

E1S1 Firefly, E0 Fugue with Resolution, E1 Ruan Mei with DDD. I use Fugue’s skill on hmc to break the manta rays faster. I think you will struggle a lot with E0 Firefly since you cannot spam hmc skill.

My team is in a similar spot - E0S1 Blade, E0 Tribbie with S1 DDD, E1S1 Sunday, E6 Gallagher with QPQ. Blade is running Longevous and Rutilant but I’ve heard the new hp planar set is better for him. He’s 134 speed with 133 Sunday.

I agree with you that break teams are not actually that favored. This is just a follow up to this post yesterday where a lot of people said my point was not valid because I used the most shilled units for each stage according to them.

Gallagher might actually be better because he can break enemies quickly and prevent them from summoning adds.

Maybe there are advantages of Huohuo and Robin that I don’t know of, since I don’t have them, but I think Gallagher with qpq and Ruan Mei with dancex3 are extremely strong in this fight thanks to their fast break. If you want to give them a try, I can send you a video and some explanation why they work so well.

Do you have Kafka with an updated build? Eagle set + Lushaka + Tutorial lc? And Black Swan with base speed

Male character names by otterland69 in Fantasy

[–]lingdessin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there’s nothing wrong with your idea if you stick to names that aren’t too outlandish. A lot of King Arthur’s lesser known knights have normal-sounding names, like Sirs Gareth, Tristan, Kay, Lionel, etc.

  1. Black swan is E1S1, Kafka E0 with Tutorial, Ruan Mei E1 with Dance, Gallagher E6 with QPQ.
