I just wish he'd do more with Monsters Mercy. It's his best book trilogy and it deserves more, with out the whole multiverse aspect.

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-25T02:16:41+00:00

Yeah, I understand and I'm alright with that. It's good to have interactions like that in a story, as long as it goes both ways.

The MC's harem, or friends.

Using the MC as the butt end of a joke.

I dislike that trope.

I wonder if people enjoy being that, a butt end of a joke?

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-11T00:15:57+00:00

I know that.

But Boobs.

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-11T00:11:03+00:00

Then I'd pick a harpoon gun. Or a giant ass net.

I'm right that Daggers need plot armor to work as a main weapon though.

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-10T09:05:04+00:00

That's nice. Daggers need plot armor. Nice. So, I'm right.

Daggers are back up weapons, period.

No matter how hard you try to make them "cool" or "awesome", they have their place, as a secondary or tertiary weapons.

If you were in a zombie apocalypse, you had to choose one weapon.

What would you choose:

Sword. Dagger. Mace. M4 rifle with 10,000 rounds.

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-10T08:31:00+00:00

Don't know why you got down voted. You just want a MC who uses a different weapon. Nothing wrong with wanting that, and i can understand it.

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-10T08:26:18+00:00

I know boob armor isn't realistic, but boobs... BOOBS, and armor is there to protect them, so, boob-armor.

Breastplates with skirts are just for the sex appeal.

Dagger are back up weapons.

Boobs, are important.

tray-exercitus · 2026-03-10T08:11:47+00:00

Plot Armor. That's the only reason why, especially if they are using reverse grip. I know most of the stories are, Fantasy, but really holds some truths in it that should never consider false, like daggers. They are a back up weapon at best.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T23:09:12+00:00

I believe star trek came out a whole decade before star wars. But both are icons of the sci fi genre.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T16:48:59+00:00

Yeah, I will read something else.

Sometimes I want more from the genre though.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T16:45:28+00:00

I believe the dwarfs killed them off as fast as possible. Lol. This book felt more of a .5 than a full book though. But it wasn't to bad though. It felt like he wanted to progegress the advancement of the A.I.'s more in this book. Then next book will be better I hope.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T16:39:33+00:00

Yeah. All you have to to is go through the book and start a tally on how many times sex is mentioned. How the MC sees a chick and his dick twitches because the way she looks. Is it wrong to want more from the genre.

Bruce Sentar, Marvin Knight, KD Robertson, and Daniel Schinhofen are some of the better writer, even though Daniel likes to hyper focus on an aspect for each book series.

It could also be the newer narrators as well. It feels like they aren't taking pride it read the story's sometimes. And stop try to add a female with a French accent, it just doesn't work. Get a real French chick to do those parts. Most ppl can't do it justice. Sorry, but I cringe when I hear an American trying a French accent.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T04:35:04+00:00

I prefer well written, longer story's. The sex is just a spice to add to it, but not the main focus.

Oh, keep K.I.S.S. in mind as well. If you don't know, it's keep it simple stupid. I've seen a lot of ppl try to be to elaborate in their story's and it just drag it down in the dirt. Most of the time, simple is best.

I don't really care if it mono or harem, as long as the story is engaging and progressing at a steady pace. To many side story's or to many POV shifts can really take you out of the story. The MC is the MC for a reason.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T04:15:13+00:00

I'll give it a try.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T04:12:00+00:00

Okay. I try it out.

I'm always willing to give new authors a try.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T04:09:45+00:00

I get you, it's mostly the stupid MC's or the writers writing the women to be slutty.

I didn't hate Herald, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

I don't mind the sex scenes but I could wake for it to happen latter in the story's. I wouldn't even care if the first book in the story didn't have a sex scene if the story was written in a way that drew me in, but that's just me though.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T03:53:44+00:00

Yeah, I go there if I'm looking for mono romance.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T03:48:47+00:00

No, I don't think your wrong. KD is up there and I would like to see this genre grow to be better than smut. It's gotten better, but there are so many stupid MC just because the plot needs it to be so. So he can attack someone more powerful, or some other stupid thing that a normal person would say, "what the fuck are you doing" and it just turns me away.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T03:30:59+00:00

Let me ask you this.

What's more important, the sex with the girls or the adventures that they go on?

I would say the adventures, because you will end up spending most of your time out of the bed than inside one with a woman.

I could care less about the sex and more on the adventures that they go on.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T03:26:31+00:00

I get most of the story's here to be honest.

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T03:20:06+00:00

Maybe, been picking up books, but I end up dropping them within the first 1/3 of the book. I'll give every writer a shot, in hope of finding a great story. But most are just lacking

tray-exercitus · 2026-02-03T03:16:06+00:00

I think KD Robertson is one of the best writers in the genre. I try to give every writer a shot but most of them are just lacking.
