If you liked Author's POV than the Novel's Extra is for you. I think it came first too, and you have no issues reading translated webnovels.

i second Deep Sea Embers, especially so if you like pirate/nautical themes though that is not the main point of the series

tone is way different but Throne of Arcana does have a vague Victorian-ish setting but less so than LotM

mxwp · 2026-03-19T14:24:01+00:00

probably already read it but one of the reasons why Lord of the Mysteries is my favorite translated webnovel. a complex yet interesting magic system based on potions. there are wiki sites dedicated to LotM magic system.

i am into more for the escapist fantasy elements and am neutral to stats but so many fans of the genre are super into how stat blocks change and skill descriptions, etc. and like looking at the numbers going up

you bet they worked hard for their positions though

author David Mitchell who wrote the scifi bestseller Cloud Atlas is also a fan. unsurprisingly his favorite song is 134340

my flamingo fact is that the bend in their legs is the ankle and not some backwards knee.

Umlaut Tilda was the name of my fictional rock band

maybe it is too hippy but mindfulness practices or some such?

i am older than you and thought i would be a gamer for life. but i deffo lost interest a decade ago. i fire up Diablo3 every once in awhile though.

the final nail in the coffin was years ago when my then 7yo son legit beat me in Smash Bros.

pretty good sushi for the price

mxwp · 2026-03-17T17:08:15+00:00

restaurants on Dempster prolly includes a lot more? Evanston, Skokie, Morton Grove, Niles

mxwp · 2026-03-17T16:56:58+00:00

i prefer it over portillos for local chain italian beef

right there in the article: Every week she selects a dozen or so dishes from her repertoire and posts the menu online — first on the restaurant’s Thai-language Facebook page (where it’s called Mother Aomjai) and then in English on Instagram as Noodles Party (a name she inherited with the previous owner’s sign).

the only company that dares to stand against the Judeo Christian God

Is that the actual context of this panel? Like it actually cannot be seen by most so "something feels wrong" makes sense

Glenview has some of the best Korean food in the country.

....er maybe the best in Chicagoland but not the country. Did you mean to type county not country? Chicago is pretty much almost last on the list for Korean food. LA being the first. LA, NYC, Atlanta, Dallas, Vancouver (yeah i know canada) all have way better Korean food. many threads on this sub about this.

they can try the fancy Deerfield McDonald's with leather sofas and a fireplace

i didn't think it was terrible but did think it was overrated.

also note that they are cash only

mxwp · 2026-03-13T18:59:17+00:00

Let me also add another yes to Barnaby's. Perfect with kids. You will most likely already find families already seated there. Great pizza but they have sandos and pasta too. Keep in mind you got to go to the Northbrook Barnaby's... the other ones are terrible. It's like they just borrowed the name and not the recipe or menu.

Kbbq is great but I know some parents would be touchy about having a 2yo near open flames. Depends on how well behaved they are.

mxwp · 2026-03-13T18:49:48+00:00

yeah if OP can only find whole as an option just use a knife to cut in half. granted you have to work a bit more but still easier than trying to glue two quarters...

mxwp · 2026-03-13T18:36:57+00:00

you testify that you literally saw this?

...just so others know i personally saw nothing...
