>>94765153>Why is it always dark lords?It's a reason to use cool monster minions and conqueror shit.Brightlord of a grimdark realm would make for a fun cyoa imo. That way you can use whatever means at your disposal without stepping on the toes of anyone who matters.
>>94765347How do you know they have all been with a man?Some of them could be virgins.
>>94765329There is a critical lack of brightlord cyoas
>>94765392i just know
>>94765433What do you know?Is it all the girls or just Milka Scarlet?

>>94765153>Thread Question: Why is it always dark lords?Dark lords, aka villains, have agency. In today's fiction, it's usually villains (best exemplified by Batman villains) who have agency and try to upturn the world, while the good guys merely try to stop them, they have no agenda of their own seperate from that of the civilization they live in as a whole.
>>94765153I'd add to what >>94765554 had said, the villains also enjoy being free to chose their means and goals without many constrains. Nowadays most of the heroes are expected to be paragons, acting in a way that ruffles the minimal amount of feathers. Villains can pick their own battles, use deceit, cheat and in general act as ruthlessly as they want to.>they have no agenda of their own seperate from that of the civilization they live in as a whole.To expand it a bit, they are also expected to ultimately sacrifice themselves for others. The self serving goals, even the neutral ones like fame or power, are seen as flaws to overcome.
>>94765713>Nowadaysheroes have always been held to a moral standard, fuck you mean "nowadays"?

>>94765815And then he was killed and cucked by his demigod son by the Goddess he 'refused'.

>>94765988For the picture I asked chatgpt to give that an anime artstyle but it completely changed the architectureI'll try with bing
>>94765979What's the point. Even if you succeed and do everything right, some misery slop addicted asshole will edit the story so you get killed, cucked, and humiliated as part of some bullshit tragedy fetish.
>>94765992Now it's better
>>94765813You need better weapons. You're fodder for any pirate/bandit group with shoddy frigates, which is all of them.

Stop gossiping like schoolgirls and post CYOAs.
>>94766335No.
>>94766388BASED
>>94766388This is why the thread is dying.
>>94766619thread?Cyoas as a whole are dead
>>94766388YEAHSHAKE THAT BOOTY
whats the state of the general, anons? missed the last two years or so. is it worth making some ironic, half-arsed oc?
>>94766714>is it worth making some ironic, half-arsed oc?Always.But also, you're invited to Dark Softie and Daddy's Paladin's wedding next week.
>>94765336This sort of Tokshit ruins the rest of the CYOA entirely, which already sucked to begin with. When will you people learn?
I want to pat gil on the head and tell him everything will be alright
>>94766714It's a dumpster fire,but if you make good OC, the rest of us will come out of hiding to interact.
>>94766714Naah, I haven't seen a good CYOA for years, I didn't care about entropist or OR.
alright cheers ill see what i can do. great to know some old souls and lone wolves are still lurking
>>94766757Nothing is okay. The UK is literally fucked.
>>94766808Why UK? I could've sworn gil was american.
>>94766936He’s Scottish. And Scotland currently has an anti-blasphemy law poorly disguised as ‘hate crime’. Say something bad about Islam and you will be arrested. Literal cartoon nation.
>>94766802>old souls and lone wolvesI remember...Planeswalker Rising...
>>94765155Still waiting for the setting section + additional magical disciplines to make a build.
>>94766802What's the cutting point for oldfags? You had to be there for Entropist? OR? PPPP? Stardust?
>>94767170Entropist. The general wasn't what it is now before the Entropist.
>>94767223Yeah, now it's better than ever.
>>94767245Yeah. Grognards from the pre-Entropist era might grumble, but those are the types who do nothing but grumble.
>>94767223Thank god? Before I had to post cyoas or builds to be acknowledged. Now a few posts about the lastest thread personality is enough to gain (You)s. Blocking off people I don't like with Entropist/OR/MP is also a nice bonus, and they get called shitposters if they fight back. That's the best timeline. Now we just need Aro kino and it's the best era of the thread period.
>>94767280Don't bait.
>>94767280Kek
Is it just me or has the shitposting quality gone done? People barely try with their baits anymore.
>>94767396People understand now that baiting cyoag is impossible. We're not your everyday posters. We are the Anonymous of 4chan, the cyber samurai of the XXI century. We understand the nature of online conflict on an instinctual level. Bait simply doesn't work here, buddy.
>>94767170Stardust was the true end of cyoag, where every single great author finally left including SDA with the release of his failed CYOA. It was the complete turning point from golden age cyoag to dark age.
>>94767433>golden age cyoagWe were already in the dark ages by the time CYOA threads became a general. Generals are cancer created by and for newfag reddit expats who could never adopt to a chan board's punchy and ephemeral style of discussion.
Another cute OC by Foxpeng1.https://www.imgchest.com/p/bp452ra8x45
>>94767477>We were already in the dark ages by the time CYOA threads became a general. You've jostled loose old echoes of memories. I remember headers titled "CYOA Thread". They were still posted on /b/ long ago, right? /cyoag/ is one thing, but my 4Chan experience goes back to late '08. Keep talking to me, fellow oldfag, please.
>>94766031I'm not going out of my way to fight. This is more of a running away and hiding build. But if I get the drop on them, with my Advanced Piloting and Clara's skill and clocking, they'll get turned to scraps and blood with nine machine guns and four flak at point-blank range.
>>94767502No potatoes? One of the easiest foods to grow? You can live off of potatoes. I want a potato, carrots, garlic, and onions with lemons. Why? Because I grow all of that right now because they're that easy to grow in a small backyard.
https://imgchest.com/p/qb4zwmejl4jNow that all the artifacts are more or less done I would like to see what you guys think about them.https://strawpoll.com/LVyK2Dd77Z0Just to be clear number 1 is best and 11 worst.
>>94767817There's potatoes in the prepacked meals section, bottom left.
>>94767826Is the poll about utility or attraction?
>>94767833For growing, but you can just throw any spud into the ground and it'll start growing.
In your opinion, is it better to have broad categories of enemies or specific strong nemeses?>>94767826I appreciate your hard work but I haven't read any of it, I'm waiting for the finished CYOA.
>>94767851specific
>>94767841You are right this one is about atraction.I'll make one about raw utility later
>>94767826Will the op absurdities like elemental immunity and resurrection be nerfed?
>>94766205I can't even go to bed without yall still arguing about me.
>>94767891Not him buy immunity already was
>>94767826Perfectly balanced, as all things should beAlso this is mostly unsurprising to see where the artifacts are placed currently
>>94767826>>94767841https://strawpoll.com/Dwyo3VMDJyAHere is the poll for pure utility>>94767891Elemental immunity has already been nerfed and I'm thinking about what to to with ressurection
>>94767826>Chu>celestial bureaucracyThis has too many implications. Will I have to worry about karma, heavenly tribulations, the general trend, the jade emperor, the three pure ones, etc.?
>>94767932>>94768048The imgchest isn't updated with the nerf.
>>94767826Bue is the best. It has a combat path and two support paths that synergize well with the combat path. It's the best kind of structure and balance.All artefacts should be like that.
>>94768048Do we count the "you die without her" part of Isi as her utility?
>>94768062Not really it is something specific to her world.>>94768253Well try to put that aside.
>>94768048Why is Cepure so low? Are you people fucking insane? She's the only one that can create portals for FTL travel.
>>94768339Her drawbacks are dogshit and magic clearly exists in pretty much everywhere, using magitech or fuck even just normal magic to make teleporters if you really need them assuming you can't find ftl already is completely doable. Very few people care about stealth artefactThis one seems to be fucked up though, atra is at the bottom? With elemental resistance and two seperate elemental powers? Sekera is near the bottom? With "In strange times even death may die" powers? Clearly something is fucked up
Husanon here what do you guys find more interesting for the worlds:Classic multiverse with different dimensionsorOne where out understanding of the cosmos is wrong and each solar system is a separate reality?In general the idea that I have is that travel between worlds/solar systems is only possible because of keys people with the power to open doors in places were worlds "touch" while it is possible to travel through space it is only really practical to travel between planets in the same system.
>>94768413Latter
>>94768362>atra is at the bottomShe does nothing another one doesn't do and her niche is "oooh you can hear worshippers!" Like I care. If I want elemental, i'll take luva or chu and get better other powers with my elemental powers. Atra is redundant and her worshipper shit amounts to literally nothing, you the player get nothing out of her worship perks personally aside from headaches.>>94768413Former
>>94767826Does the cannibalism caused by Allure wear off if I just avoid someone for long enough?
>>94768413Classic multiverse.The second option is just classic multiverse too, but weirdly contrived so that you don't have to say "multiverse".
>>94768413The second option is cool and makes a universal empire sound really cool but doesn't allow me to escape the heat death of the universe so the first one
>>94768339>In general the idea that I have is that travel between worlds/solar systems is only possible because of keys people with the power to open doors in places were worlds "touch" while it is possible to travel through space it is only really practical to travel between planets in the same system.>>94768339Lmao this anon instantly btfo'd
>>94765155Any plans for an update for this one? I'd rather wait for one if there is.
>>94768543Yea there is, look at the end of last thread
>>94768413>The spoilerThe fuck? So Isi letting you invent FTL tech would be a unique thing whereas everyone else needs magic keys? Did Isi REALLY need another buff?
>>94768413gonna go with first one desusecond one is meh and unnecessary
>>94767826>>94768048>Isi topping both of the chartsBased!
>>94768616Say it with me, "Techfags stay winning".
>>94768695>isi is literally forced on you so if you can't at least tolerate isi you just don't care about the cyoa>like 70% of isi's abilities should just be default abilities you could get without the need for a specific artefactNot surprised
>>94768723>>94768616No the implication is that no one can travel between dimensions without a key no tech is capable of it.At best you could travel between close by planets and that would still take months/years with the most advanced technology.>>94768467Not so much Cepure is capable of opening portals between planets so long as they are in the same solar system.
I like the cyoa enough to post it here, but not enough to fuck with webp. Direct link it is.The Hero Returns 1.5https://imgchest.com/p/wl7l38pep7x
>>94768804>and that would still take months/years with the most advanced technology.So you're telling me instead of relying solely on tech we should incorporate magic into it as well.>but tech can't-The artifacts are tech, they can do it, clearly it can be replicated, it can be done. Isi is literally developing the ability to be a "key" so clearly tech CAN do it.
>>94768822Words cannot stress how shit this is. The Fallen team is beyond retarded, Arthur kills that girls entire family and she decides to... side with him as a result? What?
>>94768830>Artifacts are techWhat?How?They are clearly magical in nature
>>94768822Holy AI slop
>>94768822Possible is omnipotence. Archive is nigh omniscience limited to a world.
>>94768834Unless he has some sort of mind control, she's probably just extremely mindbroken.
>>94768850Magic does not mean its not tech, its just magic-tech. The artifacts are inherently technology, they are tools and processes that solve problems and meet needs. If they can be created, they can be replicated, and they can certainly be refined as per their very nature of being able to "grow" in the first place.
>>94768822>mediocre isekai CYOANot bad, I can dig the effort.>assumes you return to earthBizarre, but I've seen similar contrivances in other CYOAs.>anime-themed capeshit pivotIt's so bad it's painful. Makes me want to do a better version of the premise.
>>94768850>>94768872>this argument againIf you would PLEASE read the sign...
>>94765153really wish the allsync had a search/sort to only show interactive onessearching for them is extra "fun" because sometimes interactive isn't in the folder title when it should be
>>94768903All the interactives are on reddit, so search there.
>>94768723
>>94768899this is also why gods of technology should be way stronger than they're depicted in 99% of fiction btw
>>94768822Anons who post links should at least post the first page.
>>94768926domains =/= strength
>>94768731Yea its really stupid.>isi literally is forced on you to facilitate the cyoa>keeps you alive>almost all of her powers are bog standard shit you would expect to be default powers, including some that give you a reason to even want these in the first place (avatar for waifus)>her hidden ability is now confirmed to be interdimensional travelFrankly i'm not surprised the hat and spear are bottom in popularity, he got told so much their drawbacks fucking suck and he put in too much effort making them weird instead of appealing.Atra bottoming in the usefulness makes sense sincr she doesn't do anything original/overtly special, even her worshipper gimmick doesn't do anything to help the player themselves.
>>94768899The artifacts fall under this definition. All their magic shit does too since its reproducable and teachable
>>94768950I just thought of a disturbing possibility. Is Physicsfag a techfag?
>>94768928Too large to be posted here with the easiest way to convert.14 pages is not that much by my standards, I can post it in full. Just give me them in a supported format.
>>94768950>All their magic shit does too since its reproducable and teachablevia artifact magic
>>94769008Which are inherently technology, and don't need the artifacts themselves to replicate nor function as shown by guiding star. As soon as guiding star is taught to someone else all their abilities become completely detached from the things themselves. Not only that, but most of these artifacts were seemingly intentionally made to do these things and most of their abilities are not unique, i.e. we know other people can do the same stuff as things like the spear, the trident, etc
>>94769044Its crazy how much of a mistake guiding star is.
>>94769064Nonsense. It saves the CYOA.
>>94769083By destroying it
>>94769044>As soon as guiding star is taught to someone else all their abilities become completely detached from the things themselves. Not only that, but most of these artifacts were seemingly intentionally made to do these things and most of their abilities are not unique, i.e. we know other people can do the same stuff as things like the spear, the trident, etcYou are correct that you can teach them but they still require a unique atributte that while replicable it is still something mystical.And yeah their powers are not unique but they do represent the ceiling of power in the setting there will be antagonists that will equal you at the enlightened level.
>>94769093To make it better.
>>94769124>you are completely right. But enemies also have similar power levels!I don't think that was ever questioned? Not like it matters when the big elder god of death and despair shows up bit i've had 500 years to make orbital railcannons and he gets a tungsten rod shot through at lethal velocity. Worst case I sick the jian powered swordsman goon squad on him if he's got plot magic to not die to overkill tech for some reason.
>>94769064The champion ability idea was better.
>>94769179You don't even need jian, isi chu and vasara will win the entire thing by themselves. Train scientists to be super crafters and super intelligent that make magical high tech gear like guns and exosuits, give them little machine spirits and suddenly you have hyper advanced magitech soldiers backed by super smart scientists. Pump them full of magical super drugs as well for good measure. If you give your scientists/commanders golden path too they can't lose and will be able to make super tech easier too. The cyoa is setup so techchads just always win and those three are the main problems children for it.

i hate techfags so much its unreal
>>94769384why Red Dagger Pirates?
>>94769179Let's analyze this.If a super death god with let's say the same powers as Sekera tries to invade he would likely have a stupidly huge army of zombies, vampires with different supernatural powers and city destroying abominations also with multiple powers he would be able to turn temporarily invincible too and to nuke entire countries.Orbital cannons would have a hard time stopping that.
>>94769394low tech is boringthere is only so much you can do in some vaguely medieval fantasy world
>>94769402>Orbital cannons would have a hard time stopping thatNo it really wouldn't
>>94769410>limited choices are badwe in cyoag for that
>>94769396Why not? I like doing whatever I want and I don't wanna just do Fed Civvie and then join whatever faction after.
>>94769402Modern military could beat sekera only 100% of the time desu.
>>94769418>>94769437How?I mean the zombies maybe but the vampires?Are you going to nuke your own cities?What are you going to do against an oponent that can stay hidden and slowly turn the whole world inhabitable?
>>94769473>I mean the zombies maybe but the vampiresVampires are neither immune to bullets nor fast enough to dodge them. You can scan people and figure out whose undead and whose not by simply telling people to stand in sunlight.>nuke your own cities If necessary>What are you going to do against an oponent that can stay hidden and slowly turn the whole world inhabitable?If they're invading undead they have some sort of gate to get here, they wont stay hidden especially if the world is slowly turning uninhabitable, and even the ones that try to do so will be easy to pick up on. Turns out its easy to tell whose undead and whose not when you know what you're looking for.Modern military btfos fantasy vampires 100% of the time. To say nothing of super advanced magitech troopers with advanced machine spirited magic rifles and armor pumped on magic enhancing drugs with magitech tanks and planes and guided by super intelligent golden path doped strategists. This entire setting jobs to tech as you've setup and is completely trivialized by the powers from only a few artifacts.
do military fags really?
>>94769548>>94769437based & armypilled
>>94768413>Classic multiverse with different dimensions
>>94769410equating those things is dumb for a number of reasons. No setting is really boring, it's mostly just a matter of looking deeply enough into them. pic related is a great example of a CYOA that relies on some of the same tropes you're talking about, but expands and exceeds them. I know the "any human artifact or practice is technology" argument is considered sophistry here, but it is right. in my opinion some of the best CYOAs of all time involve recontextualizing bygone "technologies" (in the above sense) by placing them in a fictional setting, sometimes as the central element of that setting. essentially what I'm trying to say is that there are A. plenty of unique, exciting things to explore in run-of-the-mill medieval fantasyB. way more options for low tech settings outside of that, whether they focus on hard history around the world, or extrapolate other paths that the world might takeAnother thing is the changes in social relations that attend technological change. for me at least it is way more fun to imagine living in a society without the alienation of the internet and mass media, or even without widespread automation - things that are taken for granted in almost all "high tech" settings
>>94769677
>>94769548anon it doesn't matter if they can doge bullets it's almost impossible to hit a small moving target that moves unnaturally fast
>>94769682
>>94769688nipples?
>>94768822It's a good one, I'll make a build later.
>>94769686Flak and shotguns would beg to differ
>>94769686>that moves unnaturally fastdepends completely and totally on how fast the "significantly faster than humans" enhancement to high tier vampires is. even 10x faster would still get mowed down by a gun
>>94768461That's a good point what if it simply didn't actually exist?The cosmos is perpetually self-rejuvinating some individual worlds do die off but others are born.
>>94769753vampires only fight against infantry they can just hide underground
>>94769781time to bring out the bunker busters
>>94769764Then I would be more inclined towards the second option and switch my vote to it.
>>94769764>The cosmos is perpetually self-rejuvinatingUhhh Entropybros? Wtf is this
>>94769798How can you detect vampires if they have no bodyheat?
>>94769781Flamethrowers and UV headlamps make that easy, almost fun.
>>94769807Anything in the sewers that could be collateral shouldn't be down there anyways. Plus the general undead in the vicinity and dying of thr land would probably tip you off. I'm sure you could ultrasound them as well.
>>94769805Tasteless propaganda. Ignore it and keep sucking your bros.
>>94769909
>>94769914
>>94769810>HEHEHEHE dumb human(redditor) I am weak to sunlight because of its metaphysical properties not because of its material ones now die!
>>94769939>still gets flamethrowered
>>94769939Talking like that is foul.
>>94769926
>>94769942Sure but using a flamethrower underground is a really bad idea
>>94769967
>>94769971For the vampires
>>94768413Classic multiverse is better just because 'each solar system is a separate reality' even if more interesting would open another can of worm.>>94767826does the healer look like the 'fountain of life' image or the girl in 'resurrection' or neither?also, can you resurrect the original arany (the founder and the previous owner of the hammer) and her husband (the previous owner of the belt) and the 3 previous owners of jian?
>>94767826If I don't care about the waifus and don't want too many drawbacks, how do I win quickly and go back to my normal life?
Hus i'll be honest I don't have a problem that you're making weird unlikeable artifacts now with bad drawbacks or that the setting has glaring flaws as shown so far, or even that some of the abilities in the current iteration are stupidly OP. I have a problem with the fact you WIP post this shit every day yet only retain/act on about 10% of the feedback you actually get
>>94765278Gay Bulge is my favorite ship because it has the most storage space for storing ground warfare vehicles and equipment.
>>94770049I agree, the daily WIP posting is soulless. At least Aromage has the discretion to post his work only about once every other week.
>>94770049He should post more WIPs, so we get more chances of giving feedback.
>>94770084I wish aromage would post more WIP I want to see ultimate god redux finished...
>>94770086He already seemingly ignores most of it. The current issues have been discussed like 1000 times already
>>94770019Well the appearance of the healer in my author canon is the girl in fountain of life but using death of the author the other could also work you can choose either of them.And yeah you can theoretically revive all of them just good luck locating their remains if they still exists.>>94770049I do try to listen to you guys but sometimes I have a certain vision that I really like.For now I'll update the old artifacts to the new format and then get down to balancing them.
>>94768048Surprised Jian is doing so well.Third on best girl and second in utility
>>94768245she has a shit personality
>>94769974
>>94770140The strongest personal combat artifact and is easily likeable. Her drawbacks are fine as well so not much to dislike about her.
>>94770164
>>94770127>good luck locating their remains if they still existsyou mean to tell me a multiversal noble house does not have the remains of the founder and other heroes who contributed to the prestige of the house somewhere in the crypts?

>>94770181They definitely do.But those tend to be destroyed and desecrated once the house is ousted.
>>94770165>The strongest personal combat artifactThat goes to Cepure.
pls post cyoas
>>94770213Lmao, I see the schitzophrenia drawback is hitting hard
>>94770195>once the house is oustedwait, i don't get it, am i reading this the wrong way or are you telling me the enemy already took over the main arany castle/homeworld?>>94770220happy now?
>>94765190Why is this page missing 2 options?
>>94770220>old shit nobody playsLame. Join the discussion about fresh things.
>>94770278>wait, i don't get it, am i reading this the wrong way or are you telling me the enemy already took over the main arany castle/homeworld?Anon kleidi straight up tells you she's the last member of her house. Its literally just you her and the artifacts to start.
>>94770127>and then get down to balancing them.OH NO NO NO TECHBROS
>>94770317Calm down. Unless he does significant changes we're good, and that would ruin his characters.Trust the Plan.
>>94770321Nah if he gets rid of guiding star it fucks up a lot of the easy exploits
>>94770317I have my eye on that...
>>94770321Italicsfags do and keep losing...
Personally I think Nayza is cool (because I want to sexually corrupt pure and kind healsluts) but I don't care for her other stuff
>HusAnon posts his WIP multiple times per week>gets dozens of posts arguing about his OC>EntropistAnon NEVER posts his WIP>still gets dozens of posts arguing about his OCWhy is this? Is it sunk-cost from a cult of personality? Some sort of eminently superior premise? The potential for something we haven't seen before driving engagement? What is it? Tell me, anons, TELL ME!
>>94770375If by "arguing" you mean "shitposting about two builds who seem to have moved on LONG ago", then sure. Otherwise the amount of discussion about Exalted Conquest is much lower.
>>94770396Conquest is either going to be huge or a huge flop
>>94770396>two builds who seem to have moved on LONG agoDark Sovereign keep answering.
>>94770434Answer what?
>>94770438Baits.
>>94770454I haven't answered anything since early last night though.
>>94770419>>94770375>>94770454>>94770438So this is the power of jobbers... not bad.
>>94770419Just like Conquerors themselves... kino.
>>94767826>zoni and sekera are below jian vasara and a-train in the best girl poll
>>94770561Atrain is bottom of the barrel. How can anyone like that vain bitch? Are people ignoring her personality and only looking at her body?
>>94770561>>94770579Weird that Luva is third in utility.Everyone seemed to want to take her...Well looking at the best girl one I can see anons can separate between sex appeal and practical matters
>>94770579I like atra a lot her abilities are just redundant.
>>94770561Axe is best girl.
>>94770634Shut up dark softie
>>94770663Rent free + stop insulting him.
>>94770634her depression is hot
>>94770667his depression is hot
>>94770663Can it Paladino
>>94770663Dark Sovereign doesn't even like the Axe (Paladin does).
>>94770596I could have blind guessed the popularity poll. Aside from some easily abused ability combos like guiding star I think the usefulness poll is mostly correct as well, I feel like luva should be mid tier though.
>>94770468still better than your waifu picker
>>94770730i did not expect Nayza to be so low in the best girl poll and so high in the usefulness poll. >>94767826also for luva 'friendly smile' is a little underpowered, it just fades after a couple of hours
>>94770839Should replace it with a passive likability aura.
>>94770839Healing and resurrection is useful but her drawbacks and the implications behind them suck. Her powers aren't bad and her personality is ok but the drawbacks significantly impact popularity if they're too terrible.Also yea agreed and agree with >>94770866
>>94767826Reminder that the drawbacks are entirely decided by the artifacts themselves in universe. If a drawback makes you insane, it means that the artifact wants you to be insane.
>>94770891Its even worse because while yes I am aware that you don't need to take all of the artifacts, all of them are gassing you up and guilt tripping you to take them to the point you feel bad if you don't. "Oh you're literally the chosen one I love you so much but if you want to take me you need to get turbo-autism and this aura that makes nearby people want to MURDERFUCK YOU teehee."Seems conflicting, we're pushed to take everything and everything wants to be taken by us but the drawbacks cuck you too hard to do so.
>>94770891>all these other artifacts looking to fuck you over>meanwhile Isi just wants you to focus on her and nobody elseI love my cute brown wife!
>>94770904>all of them are gassing you up and guilt tripping you to take them to the point you feel bad if you don't.Easily emotionally manipulated anon...
>>94770904Biblically accurate dating sim
>>94770914Maybe I am dark softie...
>>94770904>all of them are gassing you up and guilt tripping you to take them to the point you feel bad if you don'tThis is very logical. It's the drawbacks that are stupid. Your life is tied to your owner and you want to shoot him in the foot? Absolute schizophrenia.
'ove me Axe, simple as
>>94770930They REFUSE to tie their life to a useless, spineless man only good for his essence. You take drawbacks to show your SERIOUS nature.
>>94770938berserk reference kino
>>94770942Show you're serious about dying lmao
>>94770891The only drawbacks that make sense are Isi's 2nd, Jian's 1st, Bue's 2nd, and Luva's 1st. All the others are suicidal with 0 benefits or conceivable motive other than "this bitch is retarded or insane".
>>94770299evil sorcerer/waifu picker #1000 is not fresh. I value all contributions to this general and I am sure that each one has its particularities but it is truly stunning how long you guys can go on about them when they don't usually offer anything new. At least a lot of the classics were more diverse in theme. the voice of the author was more often evident.

>>94770938>welcome, noble sire.classyforgot to ask but do you need phantom strike to deal with the ghosts attracted by beacon of the dead?also can vasara light bending ability be used to counter undead aspect?
>>94771008not saying that the majority of them were, by any means; obviously they were mostly samey pill pickers and island survival. I do think the last few years have seen some serious channelization in the river of CYOA production though - like any medium, popular examples beget others in the same vein and the original thing ends up flanderized. There's not necessarily anything wrong with that, but I think vocal support for unusual alternatives is important>>94771013did not see those, hell yeah. Going back to review

>>94765155I made a second iteration of my build but I think I'll wait for whatever update the author puts out to post it. So now I've got luminary, ultimate god, isekai overlord and ultimate grimoire to look forward to. So much good oc just beyond my reach...I do look forward to ultimate grimoire a lot because I want to make an image build when he's done adding stuff.

>>94771696>t. samefag builder who is also the author
I'm running out of one pagers...
>>94771715One pagers suck.Two pagers are where it's at.
>>94771707>never kill anyone who [...] is willing to to commit these acts (serious harm)???
>>94771750Just to clarify a bit that if someone is trying to kill you they are free game.So willing combatants are ok to kill and people that are about to harm other innocents.
>>94771750Are you ESL. Don't kill people who aren't trying to use lethal or malicious force.
>>94771750Pretty sure there's a missing "not" in from of "is".
>>94771782Yeah I'll fix that in the next version

>>94771008Only some of the classics followed the modern formula, there were a lot of spectacular deviations.
>>94771189>and the Cake keeps me from learning it's deeper mysteries.The Guard you mean?
>>94772062I imagine the Cake does it out of concern for me where as the guard does it to spite me.
>>94772074Or the Guard is the one protecting you... that would be a cool olot twist
>>94765155Damn, consume soul sounds like an easy way to go insane or something, seems like you need to break souls before you consume them, pairs well with eiphon psyche assuming it leaves their soul stupid as well? Mostly I don't want to eat a bunch of peoples souls and then have to live with *the voices* or risk them breaking out
>>94772080What if the Cake is the Guard? What if the Lonely Monster is one of the Fairies from the Fairy Grove?Things I've pondered often.
>>94770904I just tell the goddess or whatever she is to fuck off and find someone else to save the world with her broken artifacts while I play better cyoas. Oh I'm the only one capable of wielding them? Then tell them to be good submissive wives and give me all their power with no drawback.
