Admitting to everyone that the system was growing brazenly antagonistic is TIGHT!

2021-07-01 22:48:14 +0000 UTCI agree. Not only was the subject matter fun and more positive, but I thought the writing was a bit more polished and tight. Even tho it was mostly (all?) talking, it felt fast paced and entertaining. It reminds me a little bit of old Cary Grant movies (which I've always loved).

2021-06-16 07:33:06 +0000 UTCQuestion: can diplomacy invite people to the party? Because that'd be a very useful thing. If Vul'to could leave the party for the stat boosts and regardless of how busy rob is diplomacy can send an invite.... Vul'to could get the stat boost to fight something then accept the party invite right before he kills something guaranteeing that he both gets the "not in a party" advantage and the quick learner advantage.

2021-06-16 07:28:11 +0000 UTCI mean, isn't dropping out of the party basically that kid's trump card now? He can still indulge in Fast learner like 99% of the time, but if he's gotta fight 1-on-1 and his friends aren't there, or some other extenuating circumstances...i could totally see using it to survive a tough fight.

2021-06-16 06:41:37 +0000 UTCYou're very welcome :) It's not spoilers to say that there won't be a timeskip, actually, although I understand why you might think that. It does kinda give that impression.

2021-06-16 06:05:39 +0000 UTCThanks for this awesome chapter. Will there be a timeskip in chapter 50? Considering the foreshadowing it seems like it.

2021-06-16 06:03:21 +0000 UTCI might consider lowering it later if the number comes across as too high, but for now I'll just say that Malika is not normal. No one in hundreds of years has been able to choose Archmage.

2021-06-16 05:45:41 +0000 UTC“It’s just that I have Sense Magic at Level 13." Okay I haven't read the rest of the chapter yet. Because one, this is funny. But two, this will strain the sense of disbelief just a wee bit for anyone that thinks about it. Even if you're so talented or determined you unlock a skill requiring like 80 dexterity when you only have 50, the skill still makes it clear that it generally requires 80 dexterity. Everyone in this world seems to be aware that one can get skills without meeting the stat requirements, it's just reeaally difficult. Sense magic 13 should have a huge requirement of the Magic stat that I don't think Malika could hit even if she put every one of her stat points in it. I mean can easily just say there's some mechanic at play or something. Not a big hole, but had to point it out.
