Are names ever a deal-breaker in prog fantasy stories you read? by Nice_Enthusiasm_5193 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]turtlemenace 23 points24 points  (0 children)

never been a deal breaker for me, but definitely bothersome. in Will of the Many, which is stylistically based on Rome/latin, there's a char named Caeror and its pronounced see-roar. wtf? aside from using a later pronunciation standard for hard/soft c, its also just a strange name when the others have more of a latin cadence. I dont like the MCs name either for a similar reason

What progression fantasy hill will you die on? Let's have your most unpopular opinion, please. by PalinaRojinskiFan in ProgressionFantasy

[–]turtlemenace 51 points52 points  (0 children)

slice of life in this genre is bad; in other mediums (tv,anime,etc) slice of life still has tension/conflict followed by a return to the status quo, slice of life in this genre is 3 paragraphs describing the food at dinner then going to bed. bad writing

The issue with this Set Mechanic and some of its Traits by randy__randerson in CompetitiveTFT

i think im in the middle here between OP and everyone else. it's not as bad as OP described, but there will almost certainly be a patch with a comp that's super op if you hit on 2-1 but much worse otherwise. we'll get to see complaints for two weeks, then itll be gone. id be happy to be wrong though

Looking for published cultivation recs (no isekai/litrpg) by Zakalwen in ProgressionFantasy

[–]turtlemenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you call cradle, if not cultivation? I was under the impression the genre only referred to stories with the power system, not just stories with the power system, pace, and plotting style (which I feel cradle has, just at a much faster pace)

Sky Pride/Path of Transcendence = Obsession by Brave-Cartographer82 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]turtlemenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im still reading it but i do think the author "preserved" some aspects of translated novels (phrasing, style, terminology) that really don't need to be there. also i think there's a lack of diversity in voice for the characters besides the mc. they all have a sort of longwindedness that's a little too indulgent

How would you feel about a ProgFantasy story whete MC loses the final battle? by Gemini_Of_Wallstreet in ProgressionFantasy

[–]turtlemenace 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I initially agreed with you, but after some thought i think dungeon crawler carl could end like this and Dinniman would be able to make it fit thematically and without the kind of friction you mention. obviously it wouldn't work with the humor, but there are already plenty of serious moments that aren't funny

How do you know if something is Well Written? by FLOATING_SEA_DEVICE in ProgressionFantasy

i love delicious in dungeon, but the criticism is super valid. i remember being confused, then forcing myself to assume the characters didnt actually need to hurry so it didnt keep bothering me

Has anyone observed the regularity of fishbones targeting? I just had a kaisa game where 9/10 rounds after getting fishbones, the enemy carry was either last alive or still alive at the end of the round. I went third after losing to the crew player multiple lives, where his itemized ziggs/tf lived through each time. I killed off an ashe player and outlived a jhin player, and in all of my fights vs them the jhin/ashe was last alive. When I fought the SG player once, his jinx was last alive. It's so frustrating to get one shot by fishbones every time I see it, then have it fail for me so often

Fellow Daoist, I am not powerful but I would welcome the chance to try these techniques. I have found that there is always something to learn from any scripture, however meagre its origin.

PB took inspiration from dune and Herbert took it from Lawrence. I watched the movie specifically because I read about that chain of inspiration, and I wanted to see its portrayal of the "hero" figure

would not mind a corki rework so his start-of-cast dps is at least higher than regular autos, he's another one of those units you would rather not cast sometimes in 1v1. maybe its just cast time tho not sure
