@wanderer_1204 yeah this series is becoming not what I want. To much info dump of shit i really don't care about and not enough on the moment to moment.

@LightningLeaf said in The Goddess Says, "Kill the Tsundere Witch!" Vol. 2 Discussion:

I'm thinking Henrietta is an ice mage more than a water mage. Even when she wanted a drink, she made ice.

I think it's more about her mood, especially if she's depressed or angry. And remember Ryo. He's a "Water Magician",but can also make ice, tons of it. He can even encase people in solid ice, which I hope Henrietta doesn't resort to.

And thus the legend of the hunting hero begins anew

A fun read, enjoyed the variety of low stakes stories. Looking forward to resuming the tournament though.

The protagonist is such a whiney baby! He clearly recognizes that the dragon guy is treating him with intimate interest, yet he goes poor, poor unlovable me. The man he thinks of as the most beautiful in the world regularly proposes to him, yet he ignores that due to his own insufferable self pity. He is incredibly annoying.

@dragon3010 my assumption is that he's going to take control during the battle to let himself and Demiurgos be killed by Liz. If he truly lost...well, I'll be even more disappointed in the series than I already am.

I was trying to figure if the girls was a character we already saw in the story...well, not exactly, but she's the core that later became Nephteros.

What are the common law marriage laws in another world?

Whatever the author wants them to be.

@Jon-Mitchell said in Heir to a Monstermancer Vol. 1 Discussion:

overall, I'm impressed with the originality, character development, worldbuilding, storytelling

Totally agree. It's a real pity the author says they only intend to write two volumes.

Thibault is playing a dangerous game.

It would be cool if something happened. Getting too slice of life in here.

For some reason I keep wanting to picture the golems from final fantasy 11 even though they only had 2 legs.

Kind of wish him and Sora wasn't off screened.

Why do I get the feeling this is going to have an annoying ending?

Describes a bombshell, turns bombshell into a child, has the art be of the child instead of the bombshell.

😑

Sus.

Its been a pleasant read. Its weird to say this about a civil war volume but this has probably been the most quiet, simple book of the story so far. With the pirate bands in the aftermath providing a more engaging situation then military supply lines of the professional battle. It was a nice contrast though.

Sadly I think the novelty of the concept is starting to wear off. I am easier able to see the Authors somewhat lacking character work after the changes in approach the (npc) protagonist has been fully worked out. I am unsure if the author has much of a grasp of female characters. On one hand when he is treating those characters as people with hobbies and motivations it works quite well. On the other hand when they are trying to write women being women its completely 1 dimensional. Similar to how the antagonists are mostly 1 dimensionally bad.

With no signal of an actual plot on the horison, I am not sure how much more of this story I want to read. But I have definitely enjoyed the novelty and conceits of the anti power fantasy sci fi.

They aren’t… they wouldn’t use the same plot seven times in a row would they?

@Makine yes, historians will say they were “great friends”

….and they were roommates

@wandering-dreamer said in Promised to a Dragon Vol. 1 Discussion:

I'm not surprised that Broderick survived this encounter but that's because all "good" final bosses need a "second form" that's even harder for the heroes to defeat, although I do wonder if the story will end with him killed, incapacitated, or transformed into a squirrel or such, frankly I'd be rooting for the later for maximum humiliation on his part XD

For maximum humiliation he should retain human form and not be physically incapacitated in a way that evokes any pity. Demoted to stable hand, maybe? 8-)

Is a dragon's "true mate" different than the whole pon farr thing Tal's going through right now? It's a little confusing who considers them married or not already. Sure, it's more effective for Rhi to tell Bro that Tal is her husband rather than her betrothed. Gert thought that they were fully mated and referred to them as husband and wife for a while then backed off to engaged.

Gert seems to be in this liminal space between "I don't remember demanding this promise" and "gee, that does sound like me." 8-)

“But what if BL and also trans thematically” is a hell of a hook for a series.

@Tacitus said in D-Genesis Side Stories Discussion!:

If the details of this were made public, they could set up slime ranches for D-factors to generate... well, a lot of stuff.

"Slime ranches"? Now where have I heard them in use before? (hint: magic tool-making)
