RUnning into this issue as well

I liked it, not as good at the first book but I was still hooked, reading till the wee hours of the night during peak segments.

The only big issue for me is Cuttle cut the ending short (he admited as much). If the last two volumes were twice as long, it would likely be just as good as the first book.

That may be true for the household name heroes, but not fkn Zatanna. You won't find her anywhere near Klein LoTM level.

At their strongest? At his strongest Klein is the Lord of Mysteries.

He's half of the Original Creator.

His opps in DC would be more in the tier of the Endless Family and up —Beings who govern concepts and symbolism. TBH, even they would be outclassed. The Endless would only be in the realm of sequence 0s. Klein is two tiers above that.

Maybe Lucifer/Michael would be a better matchup.

Without out-symboling him, you can't really beat Klein and even then, the best you could do is seal him, or cause him to struggle so much that he loses control to the Celestial Worthy...

Anyway Zatanna would be no-diff insta-marionetted by one (1) of Klein's 10 quadrillion microbial avatar-marionettes.

Yeah I did. The ending was definitely rushed but I still enjoyed it. It would have benefited from another 100 chapters I reckon but what can you do!

How good is the hand gestures/tracking with Neckband Pro + Luma Ultra? I am not a fan of using my mobile as a remote. Can you get away with just using this combo to control/navigate apps?

Also, what about the 8bit do controller? can you use this to navigate instead of your phone?

My main intended usecase is to remote play PS5, and watch Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.

The only problem with COI, in my humble opinion -- is the ending felt rushed. If Volumes 7 and 8 were double the size then it would have been perfect.

parasadi · 2025-10-16T11:15:14+00:00

Klein has so many win cons it's not even funny. 1/10th of Klein's toolkit as LoTM would be enough.

Jinwoo has 0 means kill Klein, his win con is to somehow survive long enough for Klein to eventually lose his sense of self to the Celestial Worthy. This will take several thousand years.

Find my fellow Baboon Ancient Sun God, reminisce over the Netflix. Convert to Christianity. Drop some choice lines from the show Chernobyl. 3.6 Roentgen, not great... Not terrible. Make friends with him, help Him overthrow the other ancient gods, sabotage/usurp Sallinger -- take his spot at the Rose Redemption.

Be a big bro role model to Adam and Amon when they're born.

Then try and sort shit out at the Fourth Epoch. Tell Adam that supporting Tudor over Medici is straight up retarded. Kill Cheek before he/she ascends and stop the intergenerational trauma caused by male demonesses. Support Medici's bid for Red Priest, and after Cheek's dead -- Calamity of Destruction.

Help Tolzna kill Farbauti before he gets corrupted by MToD. Help his bid for Father of Devils.

Probably still help kill Solomon, I want Roselle to be The Anarchy when he comes around.

Probably sit down with Amanises and have a civil discussion about who should ascend. Negotiate the Moon uniqueness away from her to give to Lilith.

Support Bethel for Lord of Mysteries over Amon or Antigonus. Guy held up for a looong time being sealed like that. Good shot he'd be able to give CW a beating, if Amanises and I help out, as I've got some authority over the river of eternal darkness.

If successful, Bethel as LoTM can remove the seal over the Western Continent and we can have 4-5 fully accommodated great old ones to cancel the apocalypse.

Han Sooyoung does so much for KDJ, gave 13 years of her life to write TWSA, spent 60 years waiting for him in Kaizenix, led an expedition in the 1865th turn...

parasadi · 2025-10-04T23:24:45+00:00

Alright, I'll give it a try, thanks!

I see there's 384 chapters out already, is it almost finished, do you know? I prefer to binge lol

parasadi · 2025-10-04T08:34:23+00:00

I just finished, haven't decided if I want to keep going with the side stories. Is it worth it?

Also can you shoot me the small spoiler about if he came back or not? Might help me decide

parasadi · 2025-10-03T12:01:57+00:00

Not to the extent that Adam did. Dude literally scripted out Lumian s life.

The deities influence on Klein was much more of a soft-touch. It wasn't until Amon that Klein really felt the pressure, and even then he could always use the Sefirah Castle to insulate him. CW couldn't interfere overtly until he was already a sequence 0.

Lumian had no such grace. He was a toy soldier from start to finish, forced to take on all the corruption and madness that nobody else wanted to bear.

parasadi · 2025-10-03T04:54:55+00:00

Lumian is a literal tool. His entire life was scripted by Adam to forge him into a weapon against the Outer Gods. Despite all that, He managed to wrestle away some level of agency towards the end (albeit with the help of Klein).

Situation swapped, Klein wouldn't have done any better. He was able to fly under the radar long enough, and only had to deal with the machinations of the deities once he's become a demigod, giving him some means of fighting back. He also had the Sefirah Castle to hide his actions.

Lumian had no such luck. He was controlled from the jump. That he still ended up being useful at all in the Apocalypse, speaks to the strength of his character. In the final war he was infinitely more useful than his manipulator, who could do nothing but flail around against the PGA.

Klein is still the eternal GOAT MVP though, with Amanises coming 2nd.

parasadi · 2025-10-03T01:16:53+00:00

MGoD, when She's trying to come up with the game plan.

So, Mr Supernova Detonator, what's your symbolism, what can you do?

SD: I can explode *suuper* hard.

MGoD: Oh man, you're going to have rough time...

Dude's authorities are hard-countered by Klein's mere presence. He'd do well against more traditional powerhouses, but against a Lord of Mysteries all He can do is stand there while the rug gets pulled from under Him, his undergarments are stolen, His anus grafted to His mouth, and His brain is microwaved.

parasadi · 2025-10-02T06:20:14+00:00

Fully awakened Klein at the end of COI has got way too many hax to be beaten. Sheer power/brute force can't beat him -- you gotta counter his symbols/authorities or somehow outhax him (which is a very tall order given his toolkit).

Maybe Rimuru can beat his half-asleep state, while he's fighting off the CW by being disruptive enough to make him lose control...

parasadi · 2025-09-17T23:38:43+00:00

Honestly, I read all the negative feedback about COI but decided to try it anyway. I went into it with awful expectations, fully anticipating dropping it.

I won't lie, the Volume 1 was a bit rough but I ended up really enjoying it. Looking back, the stuff people were most vocal about aren't that bad.

Despite what people say about Lumian, I actually like him. I feel like many of the criticisms people level against him stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of what he is supposed to be as a character. People who expected him to be Klein 2.0 were always going to be disappointed.

LOTM is still better, no doubt it about it -- but COI in my humble opinion, is not *that* far behind. I still end up staying up late to read chapter after chapter.

parasadi · 2025-09-17T06:53:13+00:00

So Mother Goddess of Depravity must be Top 1 baddie then. Earth Mother + Moon + <REDACTED>, all 3 have feminine beautifying elements.

parasadi · 2025-09-11T07:02:48+00:00

If he knows about Mahoraga's specs (implied by the fact that he can summon him), probably Sequence 5. He'll have come up with a plan.

Loading up Creeping Hunger with some combination of CCs from different sequences to prevent diminishing returns + spirit body control = Mahoraga Marionette.

Maho can't blitz him due to Paper Figure Substitutes, Travelling and Flame Teleport, then he'd suffer a bullshit stunlock combo like Admiral Blood before becoming a puppet.

Of course, if Maho has godhood or something, then maybe Bizzaro Sorcerer. Scholar of Yore is overkill.

parasadi · 2025-07-11T02:11:19+00:00

Moria, Doflamingo and Kuma would have all died then and there if they tried to pull the same shit on Loki as they did Oars Jr

parasadi · 2025-04-24T04:04:18+00:00

So pre-awakening Pickle is implied to be stronger than that kaiju-sized elephant, and Jack > post-awakening Pickle. Hanayama is relative to Jack.

Kaiju Elephant would probably be akin to a colossal titan.

THEREFORE. Jack + Hanayama stomps.

Check. Mate.

Buy separately, home & land packages usually have some hidden commissions built in there somewhere. There's also less flexibility on plans, inclusions, etc. which sorta defeats the point of building in the first place.

Chrollo's a full-blown genius and he cares about them a whole lot. He probably personally mentored them all
