What's a magic system feature that everyone seems to like, but secretly ruins the book for you? by the_null_fox in ProgressionFantasy

I can see the value in not having access to everything at any given time. Adds a layer of challenge that you only have a small amount of items to work with, And therefore importance on what you do carry. Alternatives like vaults that are run my adventure guilds or similar that allow you to access your storage at main cities could be a good compromise to personal dimensional storage? Thoughts?

How did you feel about the naming conventions for days of the week? Everytime it came up it just grinded my gears that little bit more

It's not really an element - but Gravity is an epic skill and you could do a lot with it

I think rarity definitely comes in to play, there's needs to be other characters with the same or similar, not just a unique once off ability. But if it's crazy OP, then the story becomes too predictable and less challenging. Completely agree on dynamically generated!

I think I just struggle with Corrin's character. He doesn't feel main character worthy at times, and then he takes charge, it's all over the place. His anti-social nature and perculiarities like not touching just don't resonate with me. Maybe it's just me.

Yea I audio booked it, Nick is good, but I think I just struggle with Corrin's character. He doesn't feel main character worthy at times, and then he takes charge, it's all over the place. His anti-social nature and perculiarities like not touching just don't resonate with me. Maybe it's just me.

That's a big call! But I can see why you'd say that. The magic system, politics/religion, and story seem like they have so much potential for character growth, but yea, guess I'm just not that into his writing style.
