Do you ever wonder if anyone in the team realized that some characters would fulfill their goals and then have no reason to stick around?, like, let's say you do all the Ryn quests but then she has to become a real queen and that locks her in the Ice Castle, you would lose her right?, but in her place, she would give you like a cool weapon or powerup, don't know, a different philosophy in which by getting results, that means, achieving the best ending for your companions you would have less of them but you, as the champion, could become stronger
In the same way a corrupted champion could enslave said companions and unlock fantastic dark powers becoming an proper demon lord or something like that
Good idea J. But guess what? These are not those types of people capable of that type of high-brow thinking, bro. Doubt they even have themes that don't revolve around futacock. We've seen what they're about.
I see that I've unleashed hell. On another note that Hag can get it
Also why is Fellatrix obsessed with the distended nutsacks, she doesn't realize its an indicator of testicular cancer or hernia does she?
Their characters talking about sunbathing their buttholes was the highlight of like three hours of nothingness, as I said then, there are things that are fun when you do them with friends because for everyone else?, lame
Not to go back to this but I betcha PC backgrounds have been neglected the same way too. Remember how they would get special mentions in character scenes and even change how you interacted with the world and other NPCs? Eve and you bonding over books or you being a noble and it being brought up to her in a scene is a pretty notable one for me. Small, but it's acknowledged.
I can't remember exactly the last time I saw Nobles or Thieves mentioned, Charmers got literally one thing that you had to be a Mintrel-BG'd one for that was really so you could get a special item from that one girl I can't remember the name of. But that was a long time ago now and you never get any mention of your musical background most of the time otherwise.
Slowly and surely they're taking the "Role-playing" element out of the RPG acronym and with it all the flavor the game started with.
Atleast you got that, I dont remember ever getting any role play flavor text for the scholar background and the only mentio of being a black mage that I can remember comes when you're in the winter city fighting Etheryn ancestors and if you abjure one she mentions your mastery of magic. This is also the least fun way to end these fight because ther3 no see scene with the one you banished not is there a resolution

Oh wait the banished one is just gone to hell? Imma do that to the one who locked her harem up and starved them to death because they wouldn't convert.
It's a pun. In cuckolding, a person that fucks someone else's lover is called the bull.
Admittedly, I do similar gags like a girly plant-boy being based off a trap crop. But that one's pretty subtle
K I downloaded again, got myself the cool sword, found the farm and love me my Marble, found a shark girl, killed the cultist, killed the demons, didn't want the skulls, skulls smell really weird if you don't clean them
But the skulls sell so well for low tier vendor trash. And they're made of salt too. Hope you have fun. Don't forget to use the boat to discover Marae or you can't get into the first dungeon, locking a lot of the game off.

I really need to control my curiosity and be very careful what Jbuster spoiler I click on holy shit.
Most party based RPGs have the personal quests resolved at the final act where they may as well stick around or the personal quests are secondary and they're still invested in the main quest. But the only companion really invested in the main quest is nominally Cait. There's no real reason for Ryn to fight Kas because Kas isn't really changing people morally or ethically so Alissa being dealt with is the end of her motivation for following. I guess one could argue Ryn is either so pathetic that she feels like she has to follow us or her confidence comes with a level of codependence that makes her stick around for validation, but that's a power fantasy and would require exploring what that means for her. You can't even use the excuse of curing Alissa if kept alive because Kas obviously doesn't have a cure so that avenue is pointless, and if anything that line of reasoning would probably necessitate Ryn leaving or trying to start anti-demon research.
Kas wins because she's the lead dev's creator's pet and anytime she loses he changes the in-game reality to make her win.
Everybody Was ButtFuck Fighting.
I clicked on a recentish episode, got five minutes in and had no idea who was talking, then after a total ten minutes I checked out and put on a video essay about the Austrian Wine Poisoning Scandal. I realize ttrpg roleplay and improv are different skills to writing but holy shit they were all so boring and it makes the writing make more sense.
Nakano comes across as a generic black haired LN protagonist with a serious expression and no personality.
Coming soon from critically acclaimed shitposter author, The Observer: "Reincarnated in another world as a backwater samurai no one wanted around but the barbarian's daughter loves me and leveled me up so I can save the world from evil"
Do you think if I keep coming up with shitty light novel names and trademark them that I can save streaming from the epidemic of terrible anime we face?
Anyway, there's ground to expand if we were to take back Dracia, maybe do something with the dragon blood thing beyond TF items, using one of out many witches in order to learn about the demons while momma Kass does her thing (with how she's written the champ should be able to seduce her and get her investigation because honestly?, from like half of the game she ain't the main bad guy)
Codependent Ryn running away from the throne like that tangled disney channel cartoon series where she said "nah I don't wanna marry, instead let's have generic adventures with my new coded lesbian gf and my cuck rejected bf who are totally not self inserts of whoever is writing this"
Could Nakano save anime?, no, but could he be successful?, also no, or maybe yes I mean, the concept is generic as fuck, talented child that gets betrayed by the people who hate his potential, then they send him to this lost colony that happens to be ruled by her legendary grandma who happens to be a magical being that fought in the hyper wraith/gods wars, he's surrounded by a beautiful cast of thirsthy fox women, almost every other male is unlikable (yes you know who I'm talking about, that guy, fuck that particular guy), too beautiful and full of melancholy or an anime nerd with wooden bots, everyone pretty much admits he's amazing despite being boring in every sense and then, the daughter of the barbarian champion, the most beautiful lady ever falls in love with him because he's actually cool?. You've seen this a hundred of times and beyond the first two or three episodes you can pretty much guess how it's gonna end
Season 4 will have him making Kiyoko fall in love with him after the champion dies due to a foolish mistake only to be reborn as a girl that will be another part of the harem and so on

That's a femboy second, a shota first. Little penis for a little boy, it's basic aesthetic sense.

Now I kinda want a version of Nakano where he's secretly a woman for some reason, and you shove the equivalent of Brint's whole fist into her asshole, because she doesn't deserve to spread her genes.
Well, his wives are all feral spiders, so kind of? Ironically enough, he's a cuckold, so nobody has sex with him. If you lose the fight against him, you're forced to satisfy spiders for the rest of your life. That's where the scene is that describes the spider pedipalp like a knot. If you don't fight him, you can ask him for sex, and he'll pick up a spider and help it satisfy you, I call it a spiderjob. I swear this update is giving me brain damage.
As far as trap crop goes, all alraune the descend (technically) from Fera are based on nightshades, so he's based on sticky nightshade. I chose it because I wanted a brighter color than the dark goth tones of the black velvet petunias, and baby blue is lovely, plus the prickles are a nice color too. But also sticky nightshade is a trap crop and it's scientific name literally has sissy in it. Sisymbrifolium. This, plus the construction of his name, lead me to decide on him being male instead of female(was always going to be a cuck though).

I've been breathing in the "New Topping Book," it mentions that this is what happens a bottom is not disciplined by their top. They get really loopy n start doing weird shit. Lol
Jk Savco are just degens
Besides that I think theres a sentiment that its better that both are small because the shota is adolescent and for the femboy its a mark to femininity which makes it better. But to present a counterargument— on the shota's behalf that makes the viewer a part of pedo activity (because u went to the shota specifically for kiddy on adult action and that's a fact) and on the femboy/trap it shouldn't make a difference because you were on his bumper before seeing his dick, so the size shouldn't matter, its whether or not you're going to smash or run (because thats a gay activity). The feminine aspect is what drew to them in the first place. Its not so much the anesthetics, its the intent.
Mhmm that check out, theres also something called the Stag and Vixen. The stag essentially hyping up his girl to f*** other guys.But unlike the cuck he's not embarrassed or gets off on humiliation. The vixen is just another name for a slut that wants to sleep but this time under the veneer of empowerment.
The pretzels ppl twist themselves in
I used to like her, until I realised she is pushed on us heavy and that a lot the drama around her was neutered. Bonus points for dislike when you realise her confidence "mechanic" is a bonifide meter and not a personality influence and that her tf interaction stuff is minimal. I can't give her milky tits so I can suck on and I can't give her a vag to get her pregnant nor do they use the setting to do weird pregnant stuff with her. The fuck man
And talking about Brint, could he outfuck Kasyrra?, their final battle of cocks like in Highlander but instead of the top of a building with Queen rocking the background, it would be the champion's booty with Savin & Tobs's japanese playlist
Their characters talking about sunbathing their buttholes was the highlight of like three hours of nothingness, as I said then, there are things that are fun when you do them with friends because for everyone else?, lame
I generally don't have anything against people broadcasting themselves goofing about, they have the freedom to do so. Not that it makes it any less innane, mind.
The more I look at Nakano the more I only see Sasuke in him. Tobs is one of those dorks that watched too much Naruto and thought Sasuke and his entire family was inspiring enough for him to become a mall ninja. And probably get stopped by police a few times because a suspicious individual was acting belligerent.
Legend has it that if you make a summoning circle with SAO, Rent-a-Girlfriend and a Korean manhwa, a demon will pop out, laugh at your face and just go back to hell.
Now I kinda want a version of Nakano where he's secretly a woman for some reason, and you shove the equivalent of Brint's whole fist into her asshole, because she doesn't deserve to spread her genes.
You know, this made me realize something about him as a character. And kind of why they've been put on the backburner.
There are many ways one could develop him into being more than just Tobs' edgier OC that exists more or less just to do Kinu and be obnoxious. My preferred alternative would be to have him be humbled repeatedly, which reminds me of a little scrambled plot I had in mind and even wrote a little bit in the past.
The shit thing is that you could do some good stuff with the kitsune if you allowed them to go through troubles that they should, by all accounts, have gone through. The story has them be basically the equivalent to colonials who were shot out of their homeland to try and colonize new lands, something that historically has almost never gone without any sort of trouble. Hell, some of the grizzlier stories I've ever read about are tied to failed colonies, what makes these furballs so special?
Unfortunately, they're literally Tobs' fluff material and therefore, not allowed to go through the trouble that would make them evolve as characters, which is probably why they've been left alone. Tobs can't exactly excuse himself into writing fuckloads for the kitsune populace, because they don't have much use to the regular player. You got almost nothing for them except, I dunno, a new sex scene that wouldn't really develop them much every now and then.
By being so tiddly widdly perfect, they're stuck eternally at where they are.
Oh, and on an unrelated note, I did join the Xianxia discord server, but I can't find the newer material. I did see a dead link, which was a bit disappointing.
Not to go back to this but I betcha PC backgrounds have been neglected the same way too. Remember how they would get special mentions in character scenes and even change how you interacted with the world and other NPCs? Eve and you bonding over books or you being a noble and it being brought up to her in a scene is a pretty notable one for me. Small, but it's acknowledged.
I can't remember exactly the last time I saw Nobles or Thieves mentioned, Charmers got literally one thing that you had to be a Mintrel-BG'd one for that was really so you could get a special item from that one girl I can't remember the name of. But that was a long time ago now and you never get any mention of your musical background most of the time otherwise.
Slowly and surely they're taking the "Role-playing" element out of the RPG acronym and with it all the flavor the game started with.
Theoretical: There are far too many parsers and variables to keep track of when writing that you would need to have a document open listing each and every one of them, and forcing writers to conform to every possibility is not feasible.
Practical: Split the workload by having the editor look out for these instances instead of depending on the writer to account for it all on top of the base material.
Reality: There is little thematic/editorial supervision because nobody wants to do it, and that's completely fine with Savin because he's such a competent project lead.
We've just been over the sheer amount of typos rolling in with each update, not to mention the ones from previous versions that are yet to be addressed, in addition to more thematic issues like out-of-setting references and euphemisms.
Parser issues are one thing but typos so blatantly pointed out by the annoying red squiggly line are surely much easier to spot when proofreading, you would think.

Tobs aside and inside, it's honestly less of a colony than a launchpad for incursions. The fucking portal makes it so they would only struggle if their god wills it and somehow the tree by now is so self-sufficient, they can run several industries and agriculture not just for themselves but to send wares back. Considering that they most surely did their vampire thing during and after the Godswar, it really beggars belief they weren't hunted down in the first years of exile. Hell, if Keros is supposedly so much about equivalent exchange, tie the portal access to them fulfilling quota. Give them a need to interact with outsiders on level footing. In the hands of a writer who isn't obsessed about them this setting could have so much creativity fuel, it is hard to believe it all got wasted.
After using best boy I wanted to use a trash waifu, the worst of them all and the High Guardian Spice girl was at the top
Season six of anime Nakano, now every other seasonal anime is about Sasuke but with another name (which means nothing changed at all), Nakano has become the true champion of the world and great god of the hidden blade, meanwhile the spin off with Hitoshi is out, a slice of life about a simple farmer boy who happens to capture the heart of the goddess of farming and daughter of the barbarian champion, in this timeline Kinu has a complex relationship with her parents, the champion loves her yet doesn't understand her love for farming becase barbarians just take stuff (Hitoshi changes this in a farming related quest) and Kiyoko is cold and distant (they call her the ice princess but then she's the blade princess and everyone seems fine that that) but only because the champion is always away doing stupid things like being dirty and poor, and having sex with one of the first enemies, the slut catgirl priestess Caitrella
Half a season later the genre change and becomes a fantasy anime with harem elements, in season two Kiyoko finally becomes part of Hitoshi's harem after the champion's death, also Hitoshi becomes the new god of farming and basically, transforms in Nakano

The main use of her confidence mechanic is to decide if you want front or back portrait
I salute you, pouch lover
From now on we'll use a Quin-Ryn metric in order to decide how much of Savco a character might take before becoming lame, being the middle the sweet spot where they're tolerable
You throw out fashion horrors, might as well get roasted for it.
I dunno, that would be a power fan- wait, he's an NPC... Probably not.
I generally don't have anything against people broadcasting themselves goofing about, they have the freedom to do so. Not that it makes it any less innane, mind.
I like to believe it was one of those animes with samurai and stuff. Probably Samurai X, guy can't exactly be that young anyway.

That was a really compelling quest, wish someone would love Nakano enough to make it true...
Broadcasting yourself being a goof is the most youtube thing you can do, but man... nah it's fine they were having fun
Poor kitsunes are stuck at being little else than pretty dolls no one can touch, no one can change
Give me the poor, struggling and paranoid colony with a feudal lord about to colapse and make me their savior or enslaver, a true moral choice about these soul sucking vampires, because as they're why should I care?, they're happy with their little conflict with Evergreen and her daughters that no one takes too seriously and being elf and leothran's fuck toys
Tobs even made any chance of you becoming a noble to them null by stripping Rindo of anything that could made her important to her people in the old country and Kiyoko deciding that she's fine with being your wife (sweet) and keeping her noble title as little else than an accessory. That's how much he cares about his chosen people
