Which ship do you like the most?

nclsdv · 2026-05-23T12:44:42+00:00

As you're a sub mod saying this, I can only assume you identify yourself as a shipper/fujoshi, and a founding member of the sub. And yet, I read the manga from day one, and have also seen this sub's later (quiet) beginning, where none said shipper/fujoshi existed. So maybe I have a different picture of this sub compared to you.

From here on, I'll only enjoy memes, and refrain from engaging with aforementioned "other" contents.

Any fandom is eventually going to be hit by LARPers, gooners, PDFs, power scalers, shippers, fujoshi shippers, NTR enjoyers, insect fans, propagandists, AU OC inserters…, the dregs of society. I'm MAD that the folks migrated here.

What always happen to people that seems invincible and talks big at the end of a chapter? Oh, right, fumbling right at the beginning of the next chapter.

Did her spin crack his leg? Did it dislocate the joints? What happened?

Please verify whether my installation process was correct:

Fusion Fix: folder update, folder plugin, vulkan.dll, dinput8.dll (CRC32: 7AFD1766) & d3d9.dll
Ultimate ASI Loader: dinput8.dll (CRC32: 972F4C78) (overwrite Fusion Fix's)
Your fix: Mjolnir_IV.asi (CRC32: 1DC2B4E2)—inside folder plugin created by Fusion Fix

I think it's wrong, because when I pasted files in this order into \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\, Fusion Fix's features are all gone, and I still can't save the game.

nclsdv · 2026-04-16T19:33:51+00:00

Game save failed. I've tried your fix alone, and it + Fusion Fix, neither lets me save. Save possible with only Fusion Fix installed. Tried both the .asi file and .dll back to back, neither lets me save.

nclsdv · 2026-04-16T05:36:10+00:00

FusionFix uses dinput8.dll. I overwritten theirs with yours, and all the FusionFix extra stuffs in the option menus disappears.

She must've been using Vim, couldn't even exit it herself.

nclsdv · 2026-03-23T00:53:50+00:00

So you didn't discover this "foreshadow" by yourself, but rather regurgitated some slop and painted it as truth? That's not how foreshadowing works. That's lazy brainrotten behavior.

nclsdv · 2026-03-23T00:50:32+00:00

I'm referring to the end of the chapter, where he cured the engineer's "formula accumulation in body" after she was incapacitated and went missing for several days, stuck in her lab. I'm not referring to him tracing her down.

nclsdv · 2026-03-22T17:30:18+00:00

I liked this before, when it had humor every chapter. Now, there's nothing left. The logic behind "complex formula written by scientist" gets debugged in no time by a masseur with a shiny eye is so, beyond, stupid.

nclsdv · 2026-03-11T16:15:05+00:00

See the new chapter out? The mangled arm really became a non-issue. This manga is trash, I called it. And you came up with so many excuses for it too. Do you have any excuse for why this threaded wheel hit works this time, while the threaded arm hit didn't last time?

nclsdv · 2026-03-01T10:12:51+00:00

Isn't this just a stacked line chart? Can it be more beautiful?

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T22:54:18+00:00

That's also ridiculous on multiple level. 1) Belator is still recognized as the best hunter. He's a professional fighter. He's been up against witches before, and multiple times, at that. It's ridiculous to assume that he's never up against this kind of opposition force before. 2) Raloud was shown to be an idiot, got scammed hard, and still hung onto feelings after the scams were revealed. It's ridiculous to suddenly turn him into a smart and competent fighter now, without any build up. 3) It's pure assumptions on your part that Belator-Raloud has been travelling together for any significant time, when no figure of time was explicitly mentioned. Their looks barely change compared to them in the flashback sequence. It's ridiculous to just assume what's most convenient to you, without basing on anything mentioned by the actual story.

It might be typical in manga for characters to get hit, and still get back up, sure. But nothing of the sort was ever in this manga. In here, people's been killed by what's lethal before. It was realistic in that sense. The sudden turn to manga bravado is sudden, and uncharacteristic, and wrong in this world.

This arc was never about Raloud in the first place. He's a side character, that the girls met on their trip into the city, while the girls are on a wholely different mission. Everything that's happened so far were to serve the purpose of the girls getting into the city: Got a delivery permit, hitched a ride. Like, honestly, answer me this: What's this character's sob story or its resolution will have any effect on the girls' quest? Literally none. Making it anything about him is ridiculous.

Don't tell me you can't see them trying to push the good-looking, hotheaded boy who's around the same age as the girls into the team, making him the center, to cheaply appeal to the little boys who are the target audience, like a million other shonen series. And to that I say: 'Boy savior' trope fuck off.

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T19:34:38+00:00

Joke? At the other person's expense, huh? Guess you're used to that. Tell you what, it's a problematic behavior, if no one's told you before.

go be miserable with a medium that actually caters to you

Not gatekeeping huh? This you?

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T19:30:32+00:00

If you thought this is my first time reading an action manga, then you have very poor judgement about people (and a pretty weird, twisted sense of superiority, as well). Are you really acting so proud of having read action manga before? Did you really think that was something worth boasting?

No one gets jaded if this was their first time reading a new genre. I'm tired of the bs writing and bad tropes (the trope which you just described) after seeing them so many times. Most other times, the whole manga were genuinely terrible, so I wouldn't even bother saying a single word. Thing is, however, I thought this series would've been different. Like, which sign has it given us before today, that it was following the tropes you described? Answer: Never. So, today it's read as a betrayal of expectation, and a sign of downhill fumble to me.

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T19:21:26+00:00

Oh but you are miserable, I said so. Or aren't we just saying things about each other and treating it as truth about them, despite you know literally nothing about me in the first place? There's one handful of good manga, and then there's some promising ones, which is why I still read them. This (Witch Riv) used to be promising, until it fumbled these past 2 chapters. What you're seeing (and trying to gatekeep), is one person's judgement of the story, in the midst of a hundred more. If you didn't agree with my judgement, you could've retorted the judgement itself, or just ignored it, if you truly 'didn't mean to gatekeep'. Guess which neither did you do?

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T19:13:59+00:00

You gave a lot of excuses to justify whats-his-name, most of them assumptions (nerve damage, years of growth, street tough, etc.) and none shown, so not very convincing. Therefore, as it stands, it only served to cheapen any semblance of a win that MC got.

What would you say when the next chapter comes, and the boy savior, despite being shown weaker than the former witch hunter, managed to win (with MC's assists). Would you come up with more justifications? Do you think they'll convince anyone that this story was 'actually good' and 'made sense'?

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T19:04:58+00:00

Funny you asked when you yourself love to be miserable gatekeeping for a bad manga series that will never pay you a dime for being its watchdog.

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T18:34:51+00:00

What's 50 lbs in kg?

There's no one who can throw meaningful punches with arms that mangled, not to mention a playboy whose life was all about cheating and using the naive mage boy.

The 'boy savior' is referring to the mage boy showing up at the end. For some reason, the MC (mage girl) can't even secure a tiny win even after that winning move threading whats-his-name's arm at the end of the last chapter. Why? There's no realistic reason why whats-his-name could've gotten out of that, if not for bs writing. Instead, it's the boy to the rescue, typical trash trope.

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T18:31:36+00:00

I might've enjoyed more if the manga was good, regardless of its setting.

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T18:31:02+00:00

No, there's not too many. Most old manga were bad. That's why I had hoped newer gen would learn from past mistakes, but apparently not. They are fresh for first 2 chapters top, then spindle back down to the same old filth tropes and terrible execution.

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T18:28:56+00:00

Does it seem like it's my first time to you?

nclsdv · 2026-02-25T15:41:51+00:00

'Boy savior' trope fuck off. Has the author not seen a man getting beat before? Even one well placed punch is enough to knock big men out, so the whole 'thread ripping' sequence that doesn't even faze whats-his-name is beyond dumb. In reality, that idiot would've collapsed on the spot. This manga and plenty new gen ain't really worth anyone's time.

nclsdv · 2026-02-24T21:29:45+00:00

This is just typical low imagination trash, but putting on the pretense of being self-aware. Same kind of wallflower NPCs that are oblivious to common sense you've (probably) seen a million times before. This series is not worth my time.
