We made it to the top.
>>273376263The volume with the least replies on average rounded up was Volume 2 (90) while the most replies on average was Volume 12 (138); this is excluding the final chapter as hitting bump limit was clearly an outlier. The average rounded up, based on volume averages, was 113 while the average based on every individual thread was 112; this is once again excluding the final chapter. For all volume averages we have:>Volume 1 - 101>Volume 2 - 90>Volume 3 - 117>Volume 4 - 133>Volume 5 - 124>Volume 6 - 111>Volume 7 - 101>Volume 8 - 103>Volume 9 - 125>Volume 10 - 94>Volume 11 - 111>Volume 12 - 138This data isn't perfect since there were a couple of threads cut short due to bannings and at least one board wipe but this is the best I can do.
>>273377387Thank you so much, you saved me a lot of time.
>>273377415No problem. And just for completeness/curiosity's sake, when including the final chapter Volume 12 had an average of 176 and the overall average raises to 116, both figures rounded up.
>>273376754Just like Larten always wanted.
>>273377387Appreciated.
I want to keep this thread alive as much as I can Yzilma-san

>>273374213I come back from work and there's still a CdF thread up, nice. I forgot about the volume dumps.
>>273382238This is the final one.
Can someone post all of color anons pages.
Good to see you all again
>>273383144I can post a few for you.>>273383381Right back atcha. We got one last ride in us.

We never really got any payoff for the weird humans in vampire mountain
>>273384094i think the closest we got was they eventually would be the weirdos that sacrificed themselves to the monster that bleeds nitroglycerin.
>>273384249I assumed they were those weirdos first, and Tiny brought them back from the future along with the dragon brain. Seems more plausible than normal humans willingly choosing that life
>>273384357That would make more sense with the way they acted. I think normal humans would be more vocal and would want something out of it eventually, like becoming a vampire themselves down the line.
>>273384094Basically as you've discussed, it was more explicit in the books. The Guardians of the Blood are humans brought back from the LoS timeline who were bred selectively to be very quick at regenerating blood in order to provide foodstock for vampires. It also has the Guardians reverent to vampires, same as the Kulashka were to the Grotesque, with the same kind of exchange situation (give blood, get vampire guts; offer sacrifice, receive sacred fluid).
>>273385078See bros, Tiny sometimes comes through and gives others nice things!
>>273385775
A toast I say! A toast to Color-Anons fantastic work!
>>273386394Aye!
>>273383381I ain’t leaving, this is now a general.
>>273383144>>273383650>>273386394>>273386484Cheers, y'all. This has been a memorable few months, thanks for your support throughout.
>>273385331My favorite.
>>273386484Amazing way to end the series
>>273374213For the final time (for real); LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>273374311Poor Evra, he didn't deserve this.
>>273374466The biggest irony is that Steve ended up doing the exact same shit to Darius that he himself went through.
>>273388608OOOOOOOOOOSSSSTTTTTTTTTTT!
>>273374743Gannen and his misplaced loyalty still reosnate with me.
>>273374811Love how happy Harkat is to see Darren.
>>273374924>getting sentimental during a fight to the deathReally Vancha?
>>273386484Nice
>>273390796Why is that. Tell me more about you.
>>273391057No matter how hard he tries, he just can't hate his brother or really want to kill him.
well what am i supposed to do now without this daily
>>273393810Cry
>>273393810This could help.
>>273393810I missed the first three months of storytime so I'm going to slowly read those. After that, dunno. I guess I'll pick up some games or read and watch things I've been putting off. Or do something productive.
>>273394421so what did vancha even do of significance
>>273394421dumb Larten should've killed steve
>>273394564He failed to kill or pursue his brother on their first prophetic encounter, kidnapped Alice kind of, didn't back Crepsley up when it can to tasting Steve's blood, and some other shit I can't think of at the moment. Very important stuff really.
>>273394697A bigger jobber than Darren then
>>273394769I forgot the biggest thing, he has lost every fight he had with the sun.
>>273394769>>273394866
>>273394769Was Vancha just comedic relief and a lore dump? His only canonical win is against Darren.
>>273394949Sounds about right. His brother was the one that inherited all the competent genes.
>>273394949Stacking characters up based on wins is idiotic shonen fightfag logic. Vancha provided a parallel to the series' themes about brothers being pitted against one another and echoed Darren's sympathy towards his enemy and allowed there to thus be a means for peace after the war reached its standstill. If Vancha were not to succumb to his love for his brother, vampaneze though he may be, the Lord of Shadows in Darren would likely have been the result.>Vancha isn't killed, ergo Darren doesn't create a major opening for Steve to stab him>without that handicap AND with Vancha still participating, PLUS R.V.'s sudden appearance, Steve would be floundering and at most able to kill Vancha as prophesied>without the stalemate situation of their original clash, Darren has the upper hand and would potentially fall victim to the adrenaline of incoming victoryVancha's the Prince that was promised for the story.
>>273394697He also jumped into flames.
>>273395077The promised prince and the one with a blood tie to the vampaneze via Gannen. Its easy to see him being the one that helps broker that peace early on after the war is over to help get the ball rolling later.
>>273374213Anything in the volume dumps thats missing from the chapter dumps or from the mega/google link?
>>273396628Nope. It is just for some people that are not able to keep up daily.
Charna's bumps.
>>273397621
>>273377387I blame Sam.
>>273398292kek. damn that jacket was kinda nice on Darren
>>273399729Indeed it was
>>273376256It's gonna be hard to imagine the characters looking like anything else now.
>>273386484Beautiful.
>>273392971I just kind of jive with characters who are loyal and care for people who think less of them than dirt, whilst still retaining their own honor and sense of integrity. Guys like Armada Starscream are similar to Gannen in that regard.
>>273375713Tiny really is a cunt.
>>273375735How badly is Tiny seething here?
>>273375771Bye Sam ;_;
>>273402443Even though he wasn't in the series long and his only "ghost" moment is in Volume 3, it really is sad.
I don't want it to be over bros
>>273402623Me either, Evannafrog.But it must, and it was great.
>>273400962Early Hunters Darren compared to Arai's style of drawing him not even a year later is so drastically different. He really worked hard on this series.
>>273402708They enslaved it.
>>273400962>>273402708The biggest hair spike on top of his head grew smaller as the series went on.
>>273404888Checked. This storytime was filled with various dubs and trips. The vampire gods must have been pleased.
>>273406116Charna's trips
>>273374288Darren looks so femboyish here
>>273407092Darren was extra cute in the last two volumes.
>>273407815T. Debbie
Man I was wondering why I had a hidden thread in the catalog and I forgot I had filtered this guy, you're from JJK or MHA, right?>Cirque du FreakMaybe I misjudged you, it's a shame I missed this.
>>273410570It was a good 114 days. Check the archives. It was from /jjk/ you filtered me from. I decided to post with my name to detract anyone from there from interfering with my storytime.
>>273413134Manhwa…
>>273402623It couldn't last forever...
>>273411181I lurked /jjk/ during the last four months the of manga's serialization but I don't remember you.
>>273413134Gay
>>273417233It's all gay!
>>273415431Makes sense.
>>273417233Not just gay, but incestuous.
>>273418581that was the most retard part about the endingMy tiny could have said his creation
>>273406116It's unnatural
>>273418581Gays being utter degenerates as always
>>273422294>>273418581Two wrongs can make a right, however, there's no chance of incest babies.
>>273422419I guess
Mr tiny is a shit character.
>>273424403Tiny gave us this kino. We should all thank him for his hard work egging people on to do stupid shit.
>>273424403I thought he was the shit when I was younger, but now I agree.
>>273424403He's entertaining in doses but it is kind of lame how much he orchestrates the whole plot and the cast's actions.
>>273427983Yeah, he should've been less instrumental.
>>273424403He is shit as a plot device but as a character he is surprisingly entertaining
>>273424403I like him mostly.
>>273402623Neither do I. But much like Dareen, the Great Beyond awaits us.
My final few replies post at a speed faster than light, leaving the board, the thread, the daily, the recap, far, far behind. I'm going... I'm... going... I'm... gone.
>>273376148>>273376153>>273376162We won
Never forget
>>273433662
>>273433662>Literally just genderbent Steve and DarrenTiny is a freak.
>>273433878Oh my god
If you liked this and can be bothered to read an actual book the Demonata series is kino
>>273433662hehe
>>273433662More so!
>>273433878Now I can't unsee it.
>>273424403Tiny is a fun character but a shit plot device.
>>273424403He ruined the story but he’s cool
>>273431636I’ll miss you.
>>273433662>>273436731Darrenbros, why did it never happen? Debbie was totally down for it to by the end.
>>273438819Darren still had a kid's body and Debbit was waiting for him to complete the purge so he could become an adult. Then before that could happened he died with Steve (his true love).
>>273438921Its not fair! All he had was the love caves before and now its just gonna be the love under the bridge before and after school!
>>273438101It almost feels meta that he hijacks your perception of the story.
Is this the end?
>>273442958All things must end eventually.
>>273442958No. Now we start Demonata
>>273431636Godspeed, anon.
>>273444198Where?
>>273444198Are there even storytimes for novels? Seems way harder to do. Also, it would have to be on /lit/.
>>273444671You basically just described a book club.
>>273438291Au revoir.
>>273444198My body is ready.
>>273444520Nowhere. I'm just saying it because maybe it will meme a Demonata manga by Arai into existence ;_;
>>273444671Honestly, why not post a page per post.
>>273444671>>273447271>>273444520I mean, would that be possible? We could go chapter by chapter? Is that allowed on /lit/?
>>273449937There have been daily's for authors and excerpts, but not a book. Let's find out and spark life into /lit/
>>273450131I would be up for it. Otherwise, dear CdFfriends, until we meet again.
>>273450384Beautiful
>>273450384>This place may be hellHAHAHA. Be well now. I might look into figuring out a way to daily dump a demonata chapter.>>273450131Is /lit/ typically dead? I don’t think we would get away with one thread per chapter then.
>>273450538Oh, dead as hell, relative to this. Definitely can't have clean daily's like this. It would have to be to limit every time.
>>273450384Hahaha, nice.
>>273450538Either way it could probably be formatted better but I like this site for books I know libgen and all thathttps://annas-archive.org/slow_download/6cc586873fdb43f66a245232db58b774/0/0And then an epub reader and figuring out what size. The first chapter would be like 9-11 posts at 1300x800 and the rest are more like 3-5 depending on size.
>>273450419>>273450809>>273450538>>273450890Wonderfull - I will watch /lit/ from now on then. We will see each other on the other side then.
>>273450384Lmao.
How much of a fool was Darren in the end?
I wasn't seriously suggesting a storytime of Demonata but if someone's actually going to do it then I'll hold off rereading it.
I'm 33 and Bec is still one of the more memorable female leads I've ever encountered. That whole book where she's introduced is so good
>>273453543A foolish fool of the highest order, but he made Tiny seethe so it redeems him.
>>273452250We should do it on December 1st. I will use the formatting the anon suggesting.
>>273450890Should we post it like this?
>>273450890Or would it have to be like this?
>>273455168I was thinking about that, a little more like you're reading a page of an actual book. I'm trying to find actual page scans to make that feeling. I prefer the first one in theory, but the second seems more practical and book-like.
>>273455300Definitely let me know, I want your take on this.
>>273455210Double pages would be preferable to me, also a smaller font size. around 4 paragraphs a page is dismal. I would prefer 10 or more.
>>273455210I would vote for double pages like this as well.
>>273455363Gotta agree, double pages is the best for it.
>>273455300>>273455379>>273455490>>273455556Alright thank you. Now the next hurdle is having it in a chapter per file order to make it easy to dump. That way someone else can dump ifsomeone is missing. That and I don’t know if I should be dumping it. Either due to infamy banning history and me being me. I think it would be better someone passionate about the series to do so.
>>273453971Nice, someone around my age. Although with how old these books are I guess we're in the appropriate age range.
>>273456254Just want to support you more, if you do this I'll definitely be there
>>273458571I'll take the time to consider my resources about it.
Definitely, it's a long story and would take a long time. If you do it I'll be there, if not i own all the books already
>>273458937How many chapters are in each book if you can tell me?
Thanks for the dumps. It's been an honour.
>>273374755Good panel.
>>273459510No, I can't tell you. Also I'm not that anon.
>>273459792That page is a goldmine for Steve expressions. Reminds me of the chapter where he killed Shancus, where he also had a ton of good faces.
Did anyone save all the OC spawned from the threads?
>>273376221Wait a sec, does this imply Kurda will still try his coup?
>>273462060Probably not all, but i did save quite a few things.>>273462139I got the idea that they would be able to actually be able to come to an agreement between the two clans this time without a coup.
>>273462060Could always go back through the archives to find them.
>>273462139Yes. The point is that the whole story will happen again with only some of the players being replaced by others who will fulfill the same role. Minor events may change but the main plot beats should be the same.
>>273462917Bring me in, I can save Kurda.
>>273462060Was thinking that someone should make a catbox of all OC, but I am too tired and occupied to do so.>>273461596Steve killing Shancus on screen in a SHONEN magazine is fucking insane to me. I cannot believe they allowed a child to be killed like that.
>>273463801Even Steve needs a second to soak in what he did.
>>273463890Another victim of the Darren cycle.
>>273463880I love this trope where Villains are like flabbergasted at the villainy they pull.
>>273462917This is what ruins the ending for me since it means Darren is ultimately meaningless in the big picture since he is replacable
>>273464314But you're not...
>>273464314>creating the moment Tiny can't undo that determines him needing to start over from scratch is "meaningless"
>>273464853Putting the story in a book is not a surefire way to foil Tiny's plans and the replacement shit makes even more ambiguous it will work. Like, Darren replacement will happen immediately or will happen decades in the future so adult Darren will be able to publish the whole thing and become famous enough?
>>273465063Don't forget that the two players will always kill themselves.

>>273465901He tried fucking with the natural order and it set itself straight by just cleaning the plate. If Darren is the original, that means every possible person replicating him will murder themselves and the Lord of Shadows will never be. Meaning Mr. Tiny will always be sent back.
>>273465168>>273465945That is not a guarantee either even Darren breaking free hinged on accepting Evanna's deal and it becomes really contrived to imagine that Evanna will intervene in every single iteration of the cycle.
>>273465969It's already set in the timeline. If we're playing by their rules, it must happen.
>>273465990That is what makes no sense, Tiny, Evanna and Tall are outside those rules and that's why they can't intervene much (or openly) with the timeline lest the dimensional barriers break down and demons invade the universe. So by that definition, Evanna's intervention isn't set in stone. And don't the fact Darren is able to write the novels prove nothing is set in stone anyways? In short, the whole thing is retarded and poorly thought
>>273466840Mr. Tall always saw his death funnily enough.
It was a complete pleasure guys.
>>273466840>Tiny, Evanna and Tall are outside those rules and that's why they can't intervene much It's almost the opposite. They are bound by the rules because they're outside them. Their knowledge of time prevents them from changing the outcome.>the fact Darren is able to write the novels prove nothing is set in stone anyways?Darren (Chapter 114 on) didn't write the diaries, Darren (Vol 1-12) did. Time exists even for Tiny, it isn't a sandbox, it's more like a process. Tiny can influence people in the past but he can't make them do anything and can't force events to occur, just make nudges and hope they pay out. All that is set in stone are events that have happened in Time, which as of the end of the series, is advancing from 2 years after Darren's death. Even with Darren recast by time, the events are set in stone and thus Tiny can't change them. If he could, then Darren's sacrifice with Steve would mean nothing. Since Tiny is bound by the effects of History (events that have truly occurred), he can't erase what Darren did even if Darren is recast. He has to start from scratch, and right when he starts, Darren's books will be being published, during the standstill between the clans. Evanna's intervention isn't set in stone, but it's a two-pronged effort. Darren's books drive the clans away from Tiny, and her newborn twins drive the clans together. Push and pull. It's convoluted, but that's time shenanigans for you. In order for Tiny to be thwarted, events are set in stone by finally occurring. Until then various different timelines can be borne, but there is only the one version of the past you can visit.
>All this "Darren's book plan is fucking stupid and probably wouldn't work" in the thread where they are reading the MANGA adaptation of Darren's bookAdmit it, it worked, and you people have no better plan. Which wouldn't matter even if you did because the book worked.
>>273467735Shut up, Darren.
>tHiS time travel plot doesn't make sense
