Man only Rob can blow himself back up to full health

2021-08-30 13:50:00 +0000 UTCDragon queen probably has anti human buffs because of her mind bending fury at the death of her husband and child. That assassination was likely not even done by the humans. If it was, then most likely someone in the court wanted to hurt the max level dragon queen. The only way to do that was to kill her family. Which has the unfortunate problem if DQ going homicidal. And then when the spell that should have killed her broke down because powering anything with souls or suffering generally isn't a good idea. Hence the calamity. Sorry for long response, kinda stream of thought stuff

2021-08-20 11:10:50 +0000 UTCYeah, if we needed any more proof that the system is not impartial (in general, not just Rob), it'd definitely be something like the dragon queen having a human-killing perk. The system itself seems to reward violent or unhealthy behavior more than a healthy mindset. Though it could be argued that is the right mentality for a berserker like Rob...although, we have no idea if that sort of skill (against specific races) exists yet.

2021-08-18 23:55:08 +0000 UTCGlance wise. At one end, love how it's turned into making Rob by System nudge, a certified, and addicted starter of fires. On the other hand, if System rewards psychological trauma and unhealthy mindsets with 'trinkets' of stat boosts. That's probably not going to paint a healthy picture to long term psychological health or addictions... Least of which, Rob getting a horrific foreshadow on his Levelling High worsening. Or in another hindsight, 'perhaps' a Dragon Queen being such a bigoted angry racist, she'd have a 'type' advantage by 'boosts', against all humans, and any 'deserters' (heh, 'deserters' for desert?) So, by that lens. He'd probably need a 'break' from a dungeon. But alas, Dark Fantasy being as it may, he'd probably not get a break from killing to live, or survive. Only caveat being, hope he can endure more head trauma, or attempted lobotomising soon? Possibly? Or deal with looming likely inquisition, that'd no doubt be near the doorstep soon enough.

2021-08-18 05:19:32 +0000 UTCIt may help if the sentence more emphasizes the unhealthy length of the increase to moderate. Rather than shock at it showing up, give the emphasis that Rob's mania was a longer duration than ever before, or that he seemed far more nuts than usual.

2021-08-16 19:32:50 +0000 UTCFixed, thanks!
KamikazePotato
2021-08-16 19:29:10 +0000 UTCI meant the tone to be along the lines of what tibbish was saying. I did consider making it more clear that Keira was worried instead of surprised, but I wanted the moment to focus on the victory in the battle, not Leveling High flickering. I'll give it another look on a second editing pass.

KamikazePotato
2021-08-16 19:26:55 +0000 UTCDepends on what counts as fire? If he pressed the big red button on the Death star would it obliterate 20% more planet? If he barged into an Inquisitors office and slammed his face against the Exterminatus button would it set space on fire? If he bought a flamethrower would have 20% more range and damage?

2021-08-16 13:20:41 +0000 UTC"Beads of sweat started to roll down her forehead as she fought against a seemingly neverending horse of minions." -- I'm not quite sure what a 'neverending horse of minions' actually looks like, but what springs to mind is absolutely horrifying. Also, thanks for the chapter :)

2021-08-16 09:54:58 +0000 UTCI'm not saying she shouldn't be concerned. Concern is totally reasonable and expected. I'm saying the tone strikes me as her being surprised and/or disbelieving, when she should be neither. She knows this happens, she's been told and seen it happen herself firsthand. And he just killed something that was bound to give him multiple levels at once. Being surprised or disbelieving wouldn't make much sense. But I could just be reading the tone weirdly.

2021-08-16 06:23:36 +0000 UTCTalking about the character sheet, but 20% is insane. Let's say Rob fires a nuke, having that nuke spread 20% wider is absolute bonkers man.

2021-08-16 06:13:41 +0000 UTCHis levelling high going up for a split second is kinda like waving a lit match a few feet from some explosives: probably won't do anything but pretty worrisome to say the least
tibbish
2021-08-16 06:12:39 +0000 UTCHe needs to put points into endurance to handle that Last Legs debuff. Funnily enough he has no legs now. We'll call him Lieutenant Dan until those grow back. Also, he needs to hit 100 Vitality quick for that OCD dopamine.
Gigifiy
2021-08-16 05:58:37 +0000 UTCSo you have a bit about how Keira swears that his leveling high went moderate for a second. It comes off in a, "surely not, that would be crazy!" kind of tone. I thought she watched him already hit moderate way back when he smacked himself around in the village? And didn't Riardin see his leveling high momentarily go to moderate and tell everyone, Keira included? Him temporarily getting moderate leveling high is practically old hat by now. The tone just feels the tiniest bit off.
Ziggy
2021-08-16 05:33:48 +0000 UTCIt's always bad when he gains a bunch of levels. And he just killed the dungeon boss that was 20ish levels above him.
