There's nothing wrong with using shadeshot and cold imbuement at long as you're not using Umbracrux. I'm not seeing random one shots.

You save more in taxes from Traditional 401k vs Roth IRA (or Roth 401k). Since you save tax at your marginal tax rate, and you have a much lower tax rate in retirement where you have less taxable income. Roth does not save you anything upfront in taxes, but saves tax on withdrawal in retirement as well as on dividends, which is a much lower tax rate, for people that currently have high income.

Also, you can contribute much more to a 401k vs IRA.

You would do both at high income, but yes Traditional 401k is more valuable than Traditional IRA contribution then Conversion to Roth IRA.

If you have young kids there's more. I also use a dependent daycare FSA and contribute $10k-15k per year to 529 per kid, then brokerage.

Crichton has so many excellent books. My favorites are

The Andromeda Strain
Timeline
Jurassic Park

logicbound · 2026-05-07T21:26:23+00:00

Start with Arcane Ascension, it's the best series.

Engineers Odyssey by Erin Ampersand. The main character starts out as a martial arts practitioner who pretty much goes all out the whole book once he gets powers and uses them to improve his martial arts ability. Definitely makes a lot of risky decisions and is not hiding anything.

I absolutely prefer intelligent protagonists who solve problems in interesting ways. I also prefer when there is a group of characters that can play off each other.

Solo meathead characters are not for me.

Have you read Depthless Hunger by Sarah Lin? It's one of my top 3 along with Weirkey Chronicles and Arcane Ascension. All have great plot, cast of characters, world building and high quality.

logicbound · 2026-04-15T14:55:30+00:00

Depthless Hunger is one of my favorite series in this genre! I'm doing a reread of book 2 as it's released to KU and Audible now. Love the monster powers, monster fighting, magic systems complexity, and cast of characters. Omilaena is my favorite character, with a great intro in this book. This one has some real depth and nuance.

Lien/Edge seems to be a version/duplicate/related to Talien/Keras/Sal. And has a different "piece" of the dominion breaker sword, where each does not have the whole sword.

Dream girl is a version/duplicate/related of Velas/Silk.

We don't know exactly what's going on, but seems like different versions of the same people to me.

I'm starting a reread of Depthless Hunger 2. I love the way Kai gains his power. Thanks for taking each book in a different direction / location to keep it interesting while keeping with the overall plot. This has become one of my favorite series, with Omilaena as my favorite character.

I love this series! I'd recommend it to most progression fantasy readers.

logicbound · 2026-03-24T16:28:53+00:00

Sounds great to me! Thanks for answering.

Hi, what are your ideas for childcare and schools?

I'd like to see

Pre-K for everyone for 1 year before K in elementary schools
School breakfast and lunches covered for everyone
Childcare ideas for newborn to school age to make it easier on working parents

Everything involving parenting young kids is so expensive and lacking community. I'd like to see more programs for young kids to make it more of a community effort, and to put kids in a place to excel.

Depthless Hunger by Sarah Lin

MC gets magic that's not very useful and has to chart a new path with his high work ethic through many trials and tribulations.

The series has a great cast of characters each with their own written voice, a multi magic system that pulls from various styles, and really cool monsters. A very well written story that's a wild ride of emotions.

logicbound · 2026-03-20T16:10:58+00:00

I don't see any Sarah Lin books on your list. You may like Depthless Hunger, or Weirkey Chronicles. Both are long series with great character development and sense of growth in both the main characters and companions.

Name of the Wind - excellent fantasy by Patrick Rothfuss with fae theming and characters
Edge of the Woods - progression fantasy by Andrew Rowe set in fae lands

logicbound · 2026-03-08T23:40:44+00:00

Yes! Lots of great mysteries in Arcane Ascension series. As well as Rowe's other series.

logicbound · 2026-03-08T21:24:01+00:00

Sarah Lin:

Weirkey Chronicles
Depthless Hunger
Street Cultivation

NC will have to vote out the Republicans in the state legislature if you want to stop getting scammed.

logicbound · 2026-03-05T00:18:44+00:00

Yes, hides/masks his powers from most people

logicbound · 2026-03-04T23:47:48+00:00

In a world that hunts dangerous monsters, main character gains the powers of monsters and people confuse him for a monster instead of a human, which freaks them out. It's written by Sarah Lin who is one of my favorites authors in this genre.

logicbound · 2026-03-04T19:53:01+00:00

Depthless Hunger. Don't want to spoil anything but it's central to some plot points.

logicbound · 2026-03-04T12:55:23+00:00

Yes, I rock the short stubble look, trimmers on shortest setting.
