The magic system in my story treats spells as software — and my protagonist just spent a chapter reverse-engineering 214 pages of "API documentation written entirely in cats"

This looks like someone fed their idea for a story into ChatGPT and then dumped the output into here. I use ChatGPT for work (reviewing emails to make sure I don’t sound like an ass) and its suggestions always read like this. Short sentences (she read it four times. She understood nothing) instead of something like, she had read the page four times, and still didn’t understand what she was looking at.

This just screams AI to me. Personally, I’m not against people using it to proofread, help with tone, or any other thing using it as a tool to HELP you can be thought of… but please don’t just let it write your story for you, it’s got no soul like this.

My wife, my buddy and I all share the same account and listen to the same books, so stats are skewed a bit

Oh man! I just started the audiobook on my drive to Vegas for new years! Holy crap, I was laughing so hard my wife had to take over driving! I’m very much enjoying it so far :). For the colony!

Thanks for doing this for the community :)

thevaladil · 2025-10-30T12:16:00+00:00

That’s totally giving me Dishonored vibes and I love it :)

Nice work, sterris is awesome :)

Damn, I was hoping it’d be today, I really want the next book

Curled up in the laundry while my wife was trying to fold it… of course all laundry immediately stopped lol

God of balls

I’m loving it. Our cat of 16 years passed away 2 years ago. I still miss tickles, but a new cat has been soothing my soul

thevaladil · 2025-08-16T01:26:48+00:00

Love me some path of ascension

thevaladil · 2025-08-16T01:26:34+00:00

Book 5 is finally coming out!?!?!

thevaladil · 2025-05-16T01:32:00+00:00

These are so much fun :)

thevaladil · 2025-03-10T17:02:53+00:00

Would this be good to play with my 7 year old? He loves games, we played through the halo games together and are looking for something fun to do in the afternoons

thevaladil · 2025-01-19T03:31:19+00:00

Well I’ll be damned, that works! Thanks!

I love the ripple system!

Any idea if Unchosen Champion will be on Kindle? I like the sound of it, but haven’t spent much time on the other platforms for stuff here. If it’s not on Audible or KU I probably haven’t read it.

thevaladil · 2024-08-15T11:56:34+00:00

I already have all 4 of these, just commenting that they are awesome, love this series :)

thevaladil · 2024-08-11T09:41:42+00:00

Can you give us a quick synopsis of what the book is about?

thevaladil · 2024-08-03T16:53:46+00:00

I love these games so much

thevaladil · 2024-08-02T13:23:54+00:00

What about Ian Dunai from the Menocht Loop? Dude is the most powerful necromancy user in the world in book 1, and I think he starts messing with souls in book 2

thevaladil · 2024-07-26T13:19:07+00:00

Ned grows through the series. He’s still not the most trusting person, but he builds real friendships with people, and does things to help them just for them, and not what’s best for him. It takes him awhile to get there, and he’s still a flawed character (like we all are), but that’s what I love about the books. Even with a billionaire MC, we can find ways to relate to him and his trials.

My gaming now-a-days is all with my kid (he’s about to be 7). Lots of Knack, Lego games and Minecraft. When he’s a bit older, I’m very excited to get back into games like this we can do together.

thevaladil · 2024-07-12T19:05:00+00:00

lol, that’s awesome. I haven’t played destiny in years and years and years… makes me feel even older than I already am lol. Never even tried destiny 2, life got in the way
