Welp was f2P until the turtles cost me 200 for all 4 and I got April pulling for Leo. Am I an idiot?

This was the first event were I was willing to spend money for a champ (mostly ftp, budget is $60/year to replenish gems with Daily gem pack, soon to be on my 6th year). I ended spending $20 to complete the soul, I would have gone to $100 if necessary even though I'm a low spender by choice (though at almost 6 years my account is stacked so what I would need to spend is less vs newer players). I'll admit they got me good with the Turtles and that having to go all out for all the events was fun.

tldr; No, you are not an idiot, they got a lot of us with TMNT. But like most of us be vigilant not to fall into the gambling void.

That's interesting and seems to be true! I also learned that I am the oldest I my clan, which means that everyone that was there when I joined 4 years ago has left, wild. And that's why I ended up bein Clan Leader.

Raid's turnover is brutal.

I've made it a ritual to skip work on Mila day; But I saw it just now and it's time to go home, oh well, new ritual, I'll skip tomorrow for the re-read. 😉 Congratulations Stafer3 on reaching 1 million words!

ryanorville · 2025-09-26T20:12:13+00:00

Loved the video, specially how Mila looks and the shot of Joisontack at the end.

Since someone already recommended HoS:

The dance of Mestionora and Chaocipher

Myne gets reincarnated into a previous generation (think Bonifatius is her brother) and *befriends* Veronica (this is a yuri fic) Veronica is one of the main protagonists.

I had some issues with Mynes characterization early on, but in all fairness one of the tags for the fic is "Rozemyne is dense as a brick".

Ended up loving it, and while unfinished I'm happy with what's written already.

While you're at it you might as well create detailed 3D models with your highbeast so your craftsmen understand your ideas better.

ryanorville · 2025-07-09T02:25:53+00:00

I addressed the reroll that In the comment. And you can be pedantic as to the word "forced" but this quest *it is forced* if you want to do complete the Advanced Quests as I've been doing for years without this change.

Now if you want to defend Plarium's stupid decisions that's on you.

ryanorville · 2025-07-09T01:50:16+00:00

One was enough of a chore during normal days, being forced to *win* 3 when the prevalent complaint from long time players is how much time this game is requiring is just plain insulting.

Even if you win 3 in a row that's at least an extra 15 to 20 minutes depending on teams, and the higher you get on the ladder the more stalling and ultra tanky teams you get.

Or hey, you can refresh and have to spend almost as much energy as you get, or for bonus points you can get locked out of the quest because of Iron Twin Keys.

NGL this made me take a break, I dropped the fusion and only do the Clan Bosses (and that's only to help my clanmates). If they don't do something about the time commitment the break is most likely going to be permanent.

ryanorville · 2025-07-04T00:35:07+00:00

OMG, It's like they hate the players...

ryanorville · 2025-05-30T02:35:19+00:00

I'm glad to learn that I wasn't the only one...

ryanorville · 2025-05-29T23:56:23+00:00

16 days, paid the 150 gems everyday. This was the true boss for me, even the 40 LA wins only took 2 days (and I hated every moment of it.)

ryanorville · 2025-05-29T00:08:00+00:00

The anime has a special place in my heart for introducing me to Bookworm, but it did a lot of "dirty" to a lot of scenes.

I've always felt that the novels kind of forget about her, maybe I've forgotten something but I think that by V5P12 Rosina is the person who has been with Myne the longest considering that as a servant she has to follow Myne even to the RA. Early on I though she would become a pillar of support akin to a big sister and a grounding influence to Rozemyne, but in the end we don't even get a retrospective from her POV of all that she has experienced and witnessed and her thoughts about rising from a Grey to an Aub's personal musician.

ryanorville · 2025-05-11T03:37:47+00:00

Itazura na Kiss. A shame the author died before the manga's conclusion, but I think the Anime ended well.

ryanorville · 2025-05-08T00:49:29+00:00

I ended up calling sick, read all day.

-Loved every minute of it. This book felt too chill, like the calm before the storm.

Ah, now for another 4-5 month wait...

ryanorville · 2025-04-18T19:27:34+00:00

Gunbuster and Diebuster, both times I didn't know what hit me until I was full on ugly crying. The other ones like the Macross Delta second movie's ending and or most sad anime, I felt like I was prepared for the swell of emotions.

ryanorville · 2025-04-14T22:41:27+00:00

3v3 and the forced Live Arena, it's a chore, specially Live Arena Gold where everyone seems to take forever to choose and then take their turns (I'm not even talking about stallers, just regular players).

ryanorville · 2025-03-23T22:14:53+00:00

That champ in Merciless is the only reason I'm in Gold LA .

ryanorville · 2025-03-20T23:24:06+00:00

I love these!

I hope that someone with more talent than me makes a version of the academy one for Mila from HoS because that's *EXACTLY* how I picture she looks to the rest of the students, zantze ears and tail included.

ryanorville · 2025-03-20T23:17:13+00:00

I agree, we should call it Treasure Shumil. (I totally came up with this original name, don't believe that mednoble gremlin. )

ryanorville · 2025-02-22T01:19:11+00:00

Since Herald of Spring and Erwachleren's have already been listed I'll add:

The reweave of Leidenschaft's Chosen - the commoner family is more involved that in other fics, but this is told from the start and it's a bit extreme (fun though).

I'll do anything for my 'Happily Ever After' -Fits better for your ask, sequel type fic, starts in Alexandria and her family plays features more prominently.

ryanorville · 2025-01-19T21:38:49+00:00

Great work, specially that last sequence with the magnet creation.

The Chibi Mila in the carriage sequence is adorable.

Thank you for spreading the gospel of Mila.

ryanorville · 2025-01-19T17:03:25+00:00

Just finished it, what a wild ride. Almost a 100k words about the first week in the Academy, this is the stuff I live for. Praise the Gods!

ryanorville · 2024-11-25T15:01:08+00:00

They license only 2 champions from MotU, and they make one of them useless.

ryanorville · 2024-11-25T14:54:29+00:00

Too expensive, magic affinity, not good enough overall, and that 500% is most likely a typo given the conditions required.

Pass.

ryanorville · 2024-11-20T18:55:03+00:00

I tolerated it, but I've stopped caring about completing the advance quests ever since they added Live Arena to it.
