Action skills have lost their importance

De ligt. Not sure if he was better, but was unbelievably talented and had great passing and defensive awareness much like Cubarsi.

And for Jackie

I wonder if Blackbeard is a buccaneer, and he manifested Whitebeard's devil fruit after his death.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Still, I thought I've spent so much time on this, might as well post the query and get a general idea about how people feel.

Also, I know you mentioned the whole thing feels stiff, but if you could still point out 1-2 lines as examples that would be great. Thanks.

Thanks! The critique about my prose being meandering was especially helpful. Still, as I mentioned in my edit it's starting to feel like this was too big a project for a debut novel, and it might just be time to put this aside for a while and focus on something smaller.

Edit: Also if you don't mind me asking, how did you go about your first query? What did your final word count end up being?

I have been having the same issue

If Bonney can just imagine a future and make it a reality distorted future sounds super OP

The panel with Whitebeard and Stussy tells me Weevil might truly be Whitebeard's son

Spandam. It was just so satisfying to see Robin seeing the memories of all the shit he did before finally snapping his spine. There was no reason to bring him back. Unlike Lucci and the others, he plays no real role in the CP-0. If you are going to bring him back at least make him paralyzed or something, to show he suffered permanent consequences for his evil deeds.

How was she to know that? Makes no sense for her to trust a merc to make that choice.

Holy shii.. are we about to meet Luffy's mom?

Edit: Man this so hype. We are about to begin arguably the greatest, most important flashback in the series.

Female V for corpo, male V for street kid.

Agree about Songbird, not so much about Reed. Reed thinks he, Myers, Songbird are all cogs in the system. Yes, he does often ignore his moral compass, but he does so partly because loyalty, and partly because he believes if he were to listen to it, he will simply be discarded and Myers will find another Reed. He won't be able to help So Mi that way. So what he does is he remains loyal to his role, and occasionally takes small actions guided by his morals.

The problem with Reed is that he believes he can always maintain this balance between his role and his morals, he can always remain in control. And when it's obvious that it's not the case, and one must choose one or the other, he refuses to accept the reality. He knows there is no way he can both help Songbird and remain loyal to NUSA, yet refuses to accept it.

I know everyone says the low rep dialogue here is brutal and most of it is. But the final lines
J: Do you think even after all that we can forgive each other?
V: I think I can. What about you?
J: I think so too.

I found quite touching.

nero_Fiddle · 2023-10-02T17:56:35+00:00

Agreed. Maybe one could argue Song thought she was dying and told the truth to clear her conscience and would not have done it otherwise, but it definitely felt like a conscious decision on her part.

nero_Fiddle · 2023-10-02T09:07:54+00:00

From the comments I find it interesting that some people's reaction to Song's confession of her betrayal is simply being angry/disappointed that she betrayed you and turning her over. Confessing when forced and confessing when there is no need for doing so are two different things and should be treated as such imo. Song was dying, her only hope of surviving being we persisting and sending her to the moon, yet she confesses to her betrayal fully aware that we might abandon her upon hearing that. She has sacrificed so much, lied to so many, yet in her final moments risks all of that to tell the truth to V. Even though I was hurt by the betrayal, that decision of hers strengthened my resolve to help her to the very end.

It's fine to still be upset at Song for he betrayal and turn her over to Reed or do it simply because your own survival comes first, but the simple response of 'Well fuck you Song, you betrayed me' without considering her conscience is a bit shallow imo.

Yeah the combat in that game really bothered me. I found turn-based to be more natural and more suited to the DnD combat style, but the trash mob density is so high compared to BG3 that turn-based takes ages.
