>>96763694>Nobody wants to be an old man with a beard anymore. Cultivators now all look 20 years old.This is actually something that I noticed and wondered about quite a bit. The drastic change in what the Chinese consider "Manly" is insane. If you look up any pre-CCP Chinese paintings and sculptures of warrior Gods, Daoists and Bodhisattvas they were all depicted as tall, chunky (the strongman-build kind, not the fa/tg/uy kind), broad-shouldered and scraggly bearded men with a rough, angry expression and wearing heavy armors. Now all art depicting those same archetypes are made to look like feminine, soft-skinned "males" dressed in silks that look like they overdosed on estrogen. What caused such cultural sissification in an entire nation? this isn't just limited to art btw, the Chinese are also OBSESSED with faggy filters that make them look like uncanny trannies.

>>96765721>When I go to sleep>Resist sleep, Accept sleep>RebirthAll physical and mental wounds are healed completely every morning, not every time I go to sleep. So I can almost never sleep, and depending on how thorough the healing is, avoid biological death.It should be written explicitly whether or not acceptance and resistance can both be chosen. Since it says "Resistance and Acceptance" in "You may only choose Resistance and Acceptance options that match your death choice" instead of "Resistance or Acceptance", it seems like taking both is possible.

>>96765944>big hairy fat retardmale fantasy>jade beauty pretty boysfemale fantasyIn other words, women want attractive men, not physically powerful men. Neoteny is the direction the human race has been moving towards since the start. Naturally, both neotenous men and women are more attractive to most people. It's just that the desires of women were often suppressed in the past.
>>96766034
>>96766055
>>96766058
>>96766049Xianxia is a genre dominated by men, its made and consumed for and by men. So unfortunately you're "blame women" hypothesis is off the mark in this case. The real reason as I've said, is due to the cultural degeneration of the Chinese after the century of humiliation.
>>96766049>In other words, women want attractive men, not physically powerful menThis is just straight up not true. Females still get wet at the idea of a rugged, hairy caveman-like strong male sweeping them of their feet. Jason Momoa, John Cena, the dude that played Jack Reacher in the show, etc... Not to mention the copious amounts of werewolf and monster rape fantasy books that women consume all the time. Yeah, twinks like Tom Holland and Timothy Chala-whatever have their mass appeal but the Caveman Archetype will always be popular amongst women.
>>96766081The most important thing to men is to appeal to women.>>96766133And plenty of men want muscle mommies. Doesn't change reality.
>>96766162>The most important thing to men is to appeal to women.No in this case though, why would a genre that revolves around sick male fantasy appeal to the other sex that's entirely outside of their demographic? Women don't read xianxia and never will because its full murder, rape (the fucked-up kind not the romantic oopsie kind), torture, sexual degradation and exploitation, misogyny and everything that females inherently hate. Xianxia authors are all virgin Chinese incels that vent their sexual and social frustrations on their shitty novels, they have zero reason to make their product appeal to women, they just make their protags look like femboys because that's how they want to look.
>>96766242>they just make their protags look like femboys because that's how they want to look.No shit. Why do you think they want to look that way? Because women want men who look like that.
Danmachi is a shite cyoa

He was drunk driving across a bridge, being bailed out from jail two days ago by his father, when a dog stepped in front of the car. He swerved and found everything at a standstill, his body overlapping with the dog. Then, he woke up hangover with the car nowhere to be seen. Since then he has developed an obsession with the supernatural, believing it to be the one thing that can give his life meaning.

>>96766368>Pro tip 3: Wait until Sylen finishes v3 before you play the cyoa.
>>96766452>immediate meltdownI'm not even amused, just sad and disappointed at how fragile your masculinity is. I bet you'd troon out and wear dresses if a woman told you to do so.

>>96766484>Iconic reverse psychology troon tactic. Yep. You already fit the mould perfectly.
>>96766306It’s actually rather comfy. I’m pretty sure people only hate it because of the cringe characters. Although some of the cringe has charm.
>>96765944It's the opposite actually. Being a "soft-skinned male dressed in silks" was a sign of wealth and status and success. But then the commie revolution happened and anything that the rich people did were villainized while the rugged, 'humble' (unwashed, uneducated, easily manipulated) peasants were made to be the goal every citizen should be.
>Likes big hairy burly men>doesn't care about being attractive to women, only want to be attractive to other men>only wants men to partake in their hobby>transphobicI think Anons gay
>>96766576That did actually happen in france but I don't know about china
I personally think the type of masculinity that represents me best is a 17th century german clockmakerThat is the ideal of masculinity I would like to work towardsI know this is unrelated to the Muscleslave vs woman 2.0 debate you guys are having but if we had options I would not choose either of those
>>96766586Noblemen in China used to keep their nails long because it showed everyone they didn't need to use their hands and do any physical labor.
>>96766576Well you just have to look at how the Chinese depict "heroic men" now vs the past to know that this false. Even the emperors which were believed to be the peak of wealth, status and masculinity were depicted as fat, ugly old men. Unlike roman emperors of the same time period, which were depicted as young, fit and attractive.

>he does not aspire to the purity of the blessed machinengmi
There must've been something like 10000 cyoas by now. Has there been one about being old? Not dying, but old. Dementia, arthritis, urinary incontinence, lack of teeth, being locked to die in a care center, all the good stuff.
>>96766703why the fuck would anyone make a cyoa about the worse part of life
>>96766477>>96766525Dont bully Softy.
>>96766736Because it's a unique experience?Imagine escaping from a single zombie walking the corridors of your old people's care center. It is slow and stupid. But you are equally slow, and your knowledge of the layout is muddled, even as it's the building where you spend all your days. This is true horror.
>>96766703
>>96766760
>>96766758Nta but what do you mean "unique experience"? Its literally something that everybody who lived past 60 has experienced.

>>96766758Do you want to be gangraped by street niggas? It's a unique experience.
>>96766581No shit, anon has always been a faggot.
>>96766808Keep your street nigga rape fantasies to /trash/, faggot-kun.
>>96766736There's a contingent in this thread that seems to want to lionize being old and ugly so you'd think they'd make a CYOA about their fantasy.
I want to oldify and uglify being a lion
>>96766869based contrarian
Do we have any actually good JJK cyoa?
I want a CYOA that depowers me from my current human state.
>>96766896No. None. Also the setting is fucking crap and Gojo is a psychopath / child abuser.

>>96766455>>96765701What? Will there be an 3 version or is this a meme? I'm almost done with my build and I will implode if I have to remake it.
OC updated! Reworked point system and a lot of powers
>>96767103If you removed the first choice and just said "pick 1 of these 10 powers", the cyoa would play exactly the same.
>>96767103I liked the originalIt had more soul
>>96767118"Onions and a homemade dinner has the same nutrients, there is no difference"Anon has no taste buds... sad!
>>96766970bum deadbeat apple logo dad hands typed this post.
>>96767066Yes Sylen is working on quick update to fix the fucked up stuff in the cyoa.
>>96767066tok?lmao
>>96767066Tokie Patootie...
>>96765701It'd be better to have the player directly buy dots instead of Neonate, Ancilla, etc. ranks. The cyoa even translates the power ranks into dots. Cut out the middleman.
>>96767298uwu
>>96767379Then you would have even less reason to not just go to /WoD/ and pick up up a sourcebook to make an actual character.
In the Danmachi cyoa, just how low IQ would I be for joining the Ishtar familia? Is it really so stupid if I get to bang Ishtar?
>>96767807>*SQUEAK*
You'll get the OC late tomorrow but you will get it tomorrow
>>96767819Better be. Or else you'll betray Anon's smile.
>>96765701Behold my glorious build! It is finally done! This is the pinnacle of vampire kind, you may not like it, but the truth is laid bare for all to see! >>96767163>Yes Sylen is working on quick update to fix the fucked up stuff in the cyoa.I hope the changes aren't massive because if there is one thing I hate, is when authors compelety do a 360 and change core mechaincs in a CYOA so you have to remake your build from scratch. Like my old Demigod build got thrown in the trash and I had to make a completly new build and I tell you, I will NEVER make a new build for any of Aros CYOS. Right now her fucking updates feels like whacka mole. She updates this CYOA and I have to update that build and then she updates another. I have better things to do than to update my builds. Just let the CYOA be, fucking hell, make something new already.
>>96767379That's superfluous.>>96767781If anons had any friends to play V:TM with they wouldn't be here
>>96767841
>>96767818Would Ishtar put a rat up her snatch
>>96767841>Camarilla>TremereOf course, Tok lacks the class to be embraced by the Ventrue.
>>96767852Would you?
>>96767859Political power is not true power. Magic is true power. Why would I want to be embraced by a clan who have deluded themselves into believing that false power is better than true power?
>>96767841Can vampires even enjoy sex?
>>96767887Would I crawl up her snatch if I could? Is that what you are asking?
>>96767892>Political power is not true powerTell that to the Camarilla elders. Tremere are LARPers clawing for magic they'll never hold, kept around as useful tools.
>>96767892>Political power is not true power. Magic is true power.Wannabe mages get their havens raided during daysleep by the venture who called in a favour.
>>96767900They can, it’s just different for them. They lack body odor and other traits associated with primal, carnal sex, but the bite of a vampire is considered an orgasmic sensation. They also sweat and ejaculate blood. You can trick someone into becoming your Thrall by having them suck your dick.
>>96767900Of course they can! Anything with a dick or pussy can enjoy sex.
>>96767807>if I get to bang Ishtar?Lmao, you don't. You'd be molested by the amazoness with big ugly head or made to work in brothel.
>>96767913>ejaculate bloodThat can't be right
>>96767915High humanity vampires can. Tok would immediately lose all of it, so this is a moot point.
>>96767900Since Sylen has mixed lore from different editions of World of Darkness, I view this as its own CYOAified universe. So then I rely on RAW to determine that and RAW does not mention it thus I interpret it that sex works as normal because it is not mentioned to work differently for vampires in the CYOA.
>>96767922Both blood and semen coagulate anon. It wouldn’t make much of a difference.
>>96767962Stop posting pictures of bestboi Astarion. You will never be bestboi.
>>96767962Cope from a corpse
A mage of the Life Sphere can turn itself into a tapeworm and slither up a vampire or a werewolf and fuck with them inside and out.Don’t mess with mages.
Why do you want to cuck your own adventure by including dynamic mages?
>>96767917Why wouldn’t I get to have sex with Ishtar? She’s one of the few gods who has sex with her familia members. I’m also one of the few males and I’m as high or higher level than her fat toad woman.
>>96767846>That's superfluous.Yes, that’s the word I was looking for! The ranks are superfluous when dots already exist and are being used.
>>96765701Did anyone else make an image build for this, or did I just take this CYOAs image build virginity?>>96767973But I am the best boi, always have been.
A mage can turn itself into something you cannot touch or target and then cast spells at you from there. You’d have to be a very specific kind of vampire to be able to do something about it.
>>96767917I have sex with all female characters in my stories.
>>96768015The dots are being used though? They correspond to the ranks. It would be annoying to have to write out specifically how many dots you want, when it doesn't really improve the experience.
>>96768041Based
>>96768054You misunderstand. I’m saying to get rid of the ranks.
>>96767993Why would a mage deliberately invade someone's body through their ass when they can just kill them in an almost unlimited number of ways?
>>96768041IncelGOD... I kneel.
>>96768041
>>96767992Additionally, I would say that the Obsession Tier 1 curse suggests sex works normally, as sex is one of the compulsions that are used as an example for an obsession. Why would Slylen bait anons into picking sex and then sex does not ever work? He mentioned in the CYOA that there are no trap options in the CYOA so that suggests that the Obsession Tier 1 curse is not a trap.
>>96767841Thanks for the beautiful one pager. I enjoyed reading it! Smart thinking delving into the overflow of Astarion art that there is out there.>>96767962That is exactly as I have stated it is to be consumed. Also, sex has always worked from what I could gather. Its just not as euphoric as drinking blood.>>96767066>>96766455The balance update will be out tomorrow most likely, and will be a balance update that focuses on Unnatural Embrace. It should be a minimally invasive procedure that at worst allows you to swap a choice or two around for something that is more palatable to you. Along with some clarifications.
>>96768082Because mages are gay.
>>96768139MORE HOOKS, I WANT MORE HOOKS. FUCK, FUCK, FUUUCK ROLLSHIT.

>>96768160Quite right. It's a cyoa, not a ryoa. Just give the hooks that would be given for rolling out normally, otherwise I'll just pretend to roll. Always annoying.
>>96768082>Why would a mage deliberately invade someone's body through their assBecause that's his fetish.
>>96768197>I'll just pretend to roll. Always annoying.Based and illegal-build pilled.
>>96768197>I'll just pretend to rollIllegal behavior. Rules exist for a reason.
>>96768217Fuck off rulefag, /cyoag/ is funCHAD territory.
>>96768197Rolling for clan is trash, mostly because the clan is actually a substantial part of the build. You actually might aswell roll a clan and make a build around it.
Thinking about creating a battle royale CYOA but I don't know how to make it complicated/compelling enough to have significant variation between builds that can be argued about logically
I will make a build for any 1-2 pagers you guys post. Get to it.
>>96768225You're free to Sartre away things, but don't pretend you're "playing" then. Builds that cherry pick what rule they follow don't truly engage with the CYOA. It also stiffle discussion as you can't judge balance for a build already uneven by design. Be polite and keep them to yourself.
>>96768240
>>96766981500 Energy>Perks:ReservesReinforcementBarriersBlessing of the Black Sparks -150 Energy>Barriers:Falling Blossom Emotion -25Empty Barrier -50Domain Amplification -50New Shadow Style -75>Cursed Tool:Tenfold Darkness Spear -150Honestly the techniques in this CYOA are pretty shit. Ten Shadows imbued into a single weapon is fucking insane though. Round Deer's abilities alone is honestly amazing because it not only covers RCT but it allows you to offensively use Positive Energy, but it also means that you have access to Adaptation in one way or another. Even the most straightforward option of allowing you to pierce through Cursed Technique defenses after your weapon adapts to it is huge. I'm going to be hard carried by this weapon and I'm damn well sure no one is going to take it from me by getting the right skills to back it up with complementary weapon skills such as Falling Blossom Emotion and of course New Shadow Style, and insanely strong anti-domain countermeasures like Domain Amplification, alongside my own psuedo Domain with Empty Barrier.
>>96768197Those who cheat in CYOAs will never set foot in the CYOA afterlife
>>96768254>>96768251There's a difference between sartreing and just ignoring bad design. It's not egregious.
>>96768197>>96768232Happened to me when I rolled Caitiff. Shit pissed off so much I almost quite the cyoa from the start.>>96768139Speaking of Caitiff, I feel like its a just filling space as it is. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to pick, it doesn't even give you access to thin-blood alchemy. I suggest you buff it up by essentially making it the "custom bloodline" option giving you three Affinities and one Bane tier weakness of your choosing at the cost of being a clanless prime target for Diablerie.
>>96768263>sartreing>ignoring bad designBoth are the conscious action of ignoring what's written for something you consider better. There is no lesser evil.
>>96767849
>>96768279Forgot to add Sireless next Clanless. Because Caitiff in-lore almost always get abandoned by their Sire.
>>96768225Sorry, but you're not allowed to have fun unless your build meets MY expectations.
>>96765859I can't wait to prove doubters wrong.
>>96768313Know that I will crash this thread with no survivors if I don't get at least three OCs. You've been warned.

>>96768533You say that when someone is going to sleep. Bonsoir is the equivalent of good evening.
>>96768535Quebecer, French, tomato, tomato.Kill him.
God I hate French people
>>96768557
they hate us cause they ain't us
>>96768557It's okay, I'll love you nonetheless.
All of Europe has hated the French since time immemorial. They were always seen as an incredibly weird and unlikeable folk.
>>96768591Which is so weird! What's wrong with supporting Tok every step of the way? Or forcing the thread back into normalcy when a CYOA is discussed for more than one week? Or bringing up underrated CYOAs such as Danmachi? Or ensuring posters follow the rules of CYOAs?Everyone is so mean to us...
>>96768591t. malding brit
How's the french coping now after zoomers toppled their puppet government in their neo-colony of Madagascar?
>Swede (Tokie)>Hawaiian (EA)>British (Celt?)>French (Anon)>Mexican (Goku)>Russian (Tankista)>American (everyone else)We're really diverse.
>>96768628You infected our Royal heritage with your disgusting Norman genetics. Fuck off. There’s a very good reason why the Brits fucking hate you.
>Jew (Gil)
>>96768702made me chuckle
>>96768388>How did you got three attributes? You start with one and got appearance from the unnatural embrace but from where did the third one come from?I interperated the text of A World of Darkness: Character: as I get to pick whatever attributes and abilities I want to prepresent my real self.>>96768469>I was going to ask how you got an extra attribute as an ancient-sire vampire, before seeing that it's intended as self-description.That's right!>Looks nice, anyway, a lot of detail in incredible time. And truly shameless choice of sire...Yes, cutest sire by far, can't resist mesugaki>hm, wait, how did you get three upgrades from traits & personality? One by default, one from Favorable Beginnings, and the third...?Doesn't Hooks allow you to ignore the requirements of options, similar to how Wish of Destiny did in your The Wither CYOA? If that is not the case I will have to use 1 hook that I spent to unlock Ogham from Neman instead and the second hook I have no clue what to do with.... I guess I'll wait for your update them before I udate it if I missinterpreted how Hooks work.
>>96768693>seething about superior Norman geneticsThe royals are German anyway
>>96768741Sometimes I've got to wonder how much of the ego stuff is just a bit.
>>96768688>American (everyone else)
>>96768772If it’s from the mainland it’s tainted.
If anyone has any cursed ideas for unnatural embraces. Now is the time to share them.>>96768213You're gonna have to come with me now. *takes out handcuffs* Do not resist.>>96768279Its funny cause I already did some changes to Caitiff since no one cared for them. You'll be a Caitiff Chad in the next version.>>96768179I see the second pager now. But the glowies are tracking my every move now.>>96768160For you, personally, I will make a choice in the next version.
>>96768804>You're gonna have to come with me now. *takes out handcuffs* Do not resist.I've prepared for this day...
>>96768780>Sometimes I've got to wonder how much of the ego stuff is just a bit.The description of the Body option isn't even that hard to fulfill. Basically, if you are in shape and physically active, you meet those standards. I feel like the Mind option also represents me pretty well and if it is the Appearance option you are reacting to then I would say I only took upgraded appearance because I took Ideal Vessel. So my appearance is magically altered to make me supernaturally beautiful.
>>96768804Maybe take inspiration from the merits/flaws of the game? Making your blood bonds stronger and the like?
>>96768289Brat needs CORRECTION
>>96768821Sorry anon... you dick is getting inside a chastity cage for all eternity...
CYOAs for this feel?
>>96768804>If anyone has any cursed ideas for unnatural embraces. Now is the time to share them.How about a unnatural embrace that allows you to take as many Curses as you want and it awards you Blood Points based on the Curses you pick? 1 Blood point for each tier? So 3 tier 3 curses gives you 6 points? Another suggestion is an embrace that allows you to lower 2 Curses by 1 tier or 1 curse by 2 tiers. You could include the ever-popular trope of becoming a daywalker vampire. You can have unnatural embrace that plays on the themes of destiny, allowing you to take 1 extra upgraded option in the Personality and Traits section and 1 extra upgraded option in the Behind the Curtains section.I also really like the split-jaw vampire design in The Strain and Blade II, pic realted. You could have a unnatural embrace that turns you into such vampire and by becoming one you get the Body attribute for fee in a simillar way as you can gain Apperance from Ideal Vessel.If you want more suggestions, I can come up with more. But these are the ones I got on top of my head.
>>96768899Forgot to add the pic
>>96768904>So 3 tier 3 curses gives you 6 points?That would be 9 points. I hit the wrong button got to 3 instead of 2
>>96768908Isn't there a game dev CYOA?
>>96768908Do you want any cyoa with 1 loli, a lot of them or loli being the them of the cyoa?
>>96768913Hey Tok, I fucked a mare today. And you were right, nothing beats fucking one as you heard a voice actress roleplaying as a minotaur girl. Sadly it kicked me in the nuts at the end so this is the day my gooning stops, I am writing from the hospital, maybe I will survive.
>>96768741>Doesn't Hooks allow you to ignore the requirements of options, similar to how Wish of Destiny did in your The Wither CYOA?Not Sylen, but no, the ways you can use Hooks are fairly limited. Turn them into Dark Gifts, buy something once in specified locations, Embrace candidates, get access to disciplines from contacts...I think one or two others. Not a universal currency.Also jesus christ these new Captchas...
>>96768741now thats the type of sire one would want
Dorian People: "I will worship the almighty gods who made this world, may I learn how to be like them!"Whites: "I will worship dead murdohobos because having no culture is our culture!""
>>96769028Sorry but we're vamps now.
>>96769028The only murderhobo there is Erginter, and she hid it well. I wonder what Paxxia actually knows about her mother's exploits?
>>96768804>>96768904Ok, I got some more suggestions. How about an embrace that gives you batlike wings and allows you to fly? Maybe make them retractable, or alternatively there could be an upgrade to this the wings that allows you to gain wingless flight instead at an increased flight speed but as a trade off you gain 1 tier 1 curse or something similar.Another suggestion would be to add a long vampire tentacle like toungue that allows you to bite and suck from a distance and the toungue has small teeth that are coated in a enzyme that paralyzes the victim and it will even do so with vampires, pic realted. Making it a very good 1v1 option but since your tongue can be cut it's not that great vs multiple opponents. Maybe also make the feeding increase your regeneration by a huge amount from feeding this way?You can have a psychic vampire unnatural embrace that allows you to drain people of their lifeforce or soul through touch or just being near them and allow you to convert it into vitae. This feeding type could be untraceable or at least for muggles who aren't sensitive to the unatural things in the world.
>>96769028>he's still on ORlmao
>>96769001I see, I will have to update my build, gonna wait for Sylens update. Thanks for notifying me about the mistakes I made in the build.

>>9676914510k is limit for height, I assume width as well
>>96768804Whisper of the Ages and Accursed Wrench ought to give more value. They give a pitiful amount of effective points for curses.
>>96769193^This. Accursed Wretch should at least give Neonate.
Post me the single biggest dumpster fire of a cyoa
>>96769204I'm not allowed to post Isekai Form on blue boards.
>>96768804>If anyone has any cursed ideas for unnatural embraces. Now is the time to share them.Do one that gives an edge at Blood Sorcery and hints at the possibility of ascension to Mage if one is cured from vampirism via Golconda. An unnatural embrace that gives you a unique Discipline not mentioned anywhere in the cyoa. Kuei-jin shit in general. Also are you going to implement the time period embrace that was suggested a few days ago? I really want to play as vampire in the wild west days.
>>96768904>>96769051>>96768804Would also love an option that allows you to unlock an Obscure Discipline.Maybe some eye power? Like you do not only unlock Auspex but gain an affinity in it, and your eyes become visibly unnatural, like completely black, or they get animal like like pic realted. Maybe let the player choose their appearance as long as they are weird. Or you could gain a fixed tier of Auspex.You could have an unnatural embrace that turns your blood black and makes it more efficient at fueling your disciplines and blood sorcery or boosting their potency by but also consuming more viate then normal, at the cost of gaining Poxbeared at bane tier.>>96769184>Discipline X does this alreadyYeah, but if it is a Unnatural Embrace you can pick it even if you don't have that Discipline unlocked and Discipline costs viate to use Unnatural Embrace is free to use.>>96769192>10k is limit for height, I assume width as wellThis is correct
>>96769192>>96769238Thanks
Havent been to the thread in ages, what did I miss? Anything interesting dropped/coming soon? Has italics finished magi bloodlines yet? Bloodborne 2? Strange Rains?
>>96769353Three anons made a challenge to release a cyoa on this friday, a week ago.
>>96769353>Has italics finished magi bloodlines yet? yes>Bloodborne 2? no, and likely never >Strange Rains?no, but PCA released Ouroboros and Spirit Conscript.
>>96769421Magi Bloodlines was released, but not finished. If you want the finished CYOA you will have to wait 10 years.
>>96769353how long?

>>96769480sorry, I have been busy. Back in the game chief

>>96769460How unfinished? MGS5 or DES
>>96769536>How unfinished?It is perfectly playable, but anons didn't like it to the point that Italics was dissatisfied with the CYOA and said he would remake/update it sometime in the distant future.
>>96768975A cyoa with appealing characters
CYOA with chocolate women?
>>96769238Quick question: if I pay two hooks for the upgraded version of Knowledgeable, do I also automatically unlock the discipline my sire can't use? Or do I still have to unlock it normally?If you are looking for suggestions, why not add some merits?

>>96770024
>>96770034
>>96767841>fucking hell, make something new already.Uh Tok sweaty you're one to Tok you haven't done anything of note in years.Aromage released two big OCs and many fat updates since that time.
Imagine waking up at 4:30 in the morning and driving to work for a whole fucking hour in the goddamned snow and THEN you go to your second ducking job at 6pm til’ 10pm, only to drive another whole fucking hour in the snow back home, only to go straight to bed, because you have to be up by 4:30. Repeat for five days a week. I feel like such a piece of shit for ever complaining about my hours or my life when I’m confronted with a poor middle aged woman (who lost her son to suicide the year before) who works her ass off to live in a barely heated home, and gets her car tires slashed by her cunty co workers (holy shit I’ve never encountered such disgusting and vile personalities before this point) even knowing what she’s been through. I hate people. This city has zero decency or soul. I’ve seen a white man jumped by a black man on the bus and nobody did anything. Nobody. They just watched it happen. I don’t fucking deserve to escape to a fantasy world. I have nothing to complain about compared to these people. I am a total fucking loser for whining about a ten hour shift. Thanks for sitting through my vent. I will not be working on my oc tonight.
>>96769948Wait, you didn't do the OC dance, I was going to ignore this as a repost.
>>96770094I’m sorry anon. I also feel like crap when I meet someone who deserves far more than I do. It just shows you have a good heart and you have good introspection skills. You can weigh lives
>>96770064I'm still painting my warhammer army. Once I'm done, I will resume my owrk on hentai heroine which will be an absolutly legendary CYOA!
>>96769948Nani!? is that the promised Rake OC?
>>96769948For a second, I thought this was a repost. This made my day. Thank you for another kino release Rake, you're my favourite new author and it's not even close.

>>96769948This is amazing, But I did spoil myself by seeing it on imagechest first[\spoiler]Between this and pokemon coming out I honestly don't know what to do.I only skimmed it for now but it looks really good, it feels like it way more more than doubled. My only nitpick is that when you add so many options it feels wrong to still have the same number of options as before, the ratio feels bad. Also putting a cap on drawbacks is dumb in general. This should make happy that guy that wanted more cyoas without a point system, now that I think about it most of yours are like that.
>>96770386Considering some of the discussions in this thread, and how many cuck apologists come out of the woodwork when it gets mentioned, I would not be so sure. We can hope but prepare to be disappointed.
>>96770423I can't believe I fucked up the spoiler, I've been away for too long, I even forgot I could have used ctrl s.

>>96770548Dead and gone.
>>96769948People told me it's a bit like xianxia and cultivation things.Is it like franchise CYOAs and I won't be able to fully grasp/enjoy it until I read the source material?
>>96770585No, it's its own distinct setting that has very little in common with most other xianxia. Probably because it's a post-apocalyptic alt-earth rather than medieval chinese fantasyland.
>>96770585Xianxia is an entire sub-genre of fantasy. Do you need to read other urban fantasy/horror stories to enjoy something like Urban Phantom?
Scottishanon?
>>96770683Dead. And. Gone.
>>96770626I kinda skipped over the previous version, but Rake has my attention thanks to Luminary. I love the genre blending here, despite not usually caring for cultivation
>>96769948From a very quick look, Lost Legacy and Heavenly Conquerer Foundation got nerfed but are still great if not must have, and now you need a blessing to modify/make a Method, and you got blessings for any situation.
>>96770683He was indoctrinated into the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. It's sad, he's my favourite author, but I think he's abandoned CYOAs as a medium.
>>96769948So many blessings so little slots, that remind me of Luminary's quirks.
>>96770723I'm sure that he's making the Father proud.
>>96770736No anonBad

>>96769948ayo wtf is going on with the increase of options and the static number of slots?the rake i know has always been generous with points, this kind of stingy behavior can be found in tok cyoas. given the fact that this came after Luminary i don't like the trend that seems t be appearing here>he actually listened to the miseryfags complaining about havenly conqueror foundation and added tribulation who can actually fuck you uprake......
Are you actually devolving to the point of calling everyone you don't like tok?
>>96771018Shut up T*k.
>>96770997I wanted to encourage build diversity. If it turns out there's too few choices given then I don't see an issue with updating that.
>>96771049..."Raketeto"?
>>96769948I don't appreciate the fact that half of the new options are just things we had for free before and now need perks for. Also double the options and no increase in choices is a bad design choice, I'm not saying we need double points but there should be some more. And why are you limiting how much I can fuck up my own life? If I want to load up on drawbacks why should I have a limit? There are clearly enough darwbacks.
>>96771063This doesn't encourage build diversity, it just makes sure everyone picks the same "must picks" because you don't have enough points. Build diversity is also not something you should worry about as the author, people should have fun, not think "what can I do to have a build that is different form everyone else", that's not fun, it's artificial and boring.
>>96769948Are Arrays giants things on the floor like the image of Condensation Array? they would be hard to move around
>>96770997>>96771076>no increase in choicesPlease, please read in a reading hobby. You get 3 more blessings/treasures/companions compared to before if you take 8 drawbacks.>>96771092>This doesn't encourage build diversity, it just makes sure everyone picks the same "must picks" because you don't have enough points.Bullshit disproven by history.
>>96771092Nuh uh.
>>96771104>>96771110It's incredible how the shitposters immediately come out the moment some reasonable criticism appears. It really is the miseryfags.
>>96769948What's the deal with Purebred having a built in anti harem measure?
>>96771124>no argument>calling others shitpostersTry harder.
>>96771131haremkeks deserve less
>>96771134Haremchads shall inherit the world inshallah
>>96771124>It really is the miseryfagstold ya
>>96769948There are at least 5 perks that are necessary to survive, and were things you had for free before.>>96771104>You get 3 more blessings/treasures/companions compared to before if you take 8 drawbacks.Oh wow, a whole 3 new options across a combined total of something like 24, totally fair and balanced. Those are nothing, and you have to pay for them too, it's not how balance works.
>>96771159>There are at least 5 perks that are necessary to surviveWhich ones are those?
>long anticipated update releases>nearly triple the amount of content>anons begin bitching and moaningLike clockwork
>>96771124I just like to ruin cyoas for others
>>96771131It's a measure against the anons that try to solve everything by handing their responsibilities to a billion babies.
>>967699482 Methods are still fine (3 with the great inheritance), those are the key thing to limit, but the rest is way too limited. You should get at least 5 per section, and drawbacks should not have a limit, there is no reason to have so many of them otherwise. Look at it like this, since the max you can get is 8 nobody will pick the worse ones, they will all take the easy ones, without a limit there is an actual reason to pick the really bad ones.
>>96771179>solve everything by handing their responsibilities to a billion babies.My perfect strategy...Billions must pay.
>>96771179So the answer is to ruin it for the anons that just want a harem? Talk about an overcorrection.
>>96771167When the update sucks this much it's a given. It would not happen if the update was good.
>>96771188>that just want a harem?Total anti-harem aktion....
it's isekai dark overlord all over again fuck
>>96771197More bitching, more whining, more bitching, more whining, it's a broken record.

A single body yanked between two souls in a wild bid for control, one simply trying to keep their own body, and the other to achieve the perfect form overflowing with potential. The power struggle that took place in the span of seconds instantly Deviated their form, but left the victor with everything they could ask for to survive in this decaying world. A body which radiates life, a mind that discerns all it sees and all of which others cannot see, and an steadfast soul which denied all others who tried to hold dominion over it... and yet one other spirit still remained. The loser didn't let the initial loss halt their quest of becoming the ultimate being, slipping under the nearly immutable defenses that this vessel now boasted due to being the cause of its many blessings, still waiting for its moment to strike.While an annoyance at best and an outright threat at most, this gave the prime psyche a view into another world of possibility.>"How many souls can overlap one's own? Can one distill their soul across dozens, hundreds, thousands of others without losing themselves?"Refinement of this idea is beyond their current reach, as to venture into the unknown without mastering one's self is a death wish... but soon it may not be such a dream.
>>96771161Innovative, Parts of Deceitful Trickster and Kind Tribulations, the comanions are supposed to have the Power of Frienship by default but now it's a perk, I could have sworn that the old version had built in Lowly Junior but I may be misremembering, in that case it's just 4.
>>96771218You are the broken record, conmplaining about reasonable criticism for no reason. The update takes away things instead of adding them and gives no reason to make use of the new content, it's objectively worse.
>>96771227>Power of Frienship by default>built in Lowly Junior It wasn't in the previous version
>>96771209The update made it worse just like it, yes. Unlike that one this one can still be fixed.
>>96771247Built in lowly junior felt more like it was implied, but the description of power of frienship was at the start of the companion section before, so that's changed for sure.
>>96771180this is much better than whatever we have to deal with now
Any CYOAs that allow you to fight in/alter the course of ww2?
>>96771287You have to let go gramps. What happened wasn't your fault.
>>96771287This one.https://imgchest.com/p/9p4n3oxz7nq
>>96771243You never hear whinefags talk about things they like in cyoas, it's always complaining that they don't have enough power, or that the situation is too hard. It's a womanly mindset. They just bitch and moan, bitch and moan, bitch and moan, ad infinitum. I think most whinefags think they're too weak to win without handouts. Like this one >>96771227, complaining about how the perks to bypass genre conventions 90% of xianxia protagonists deal with and win against need to be free, otherwise they'll lose. Just jobbers that can't see themselves winning if the deck isn't rigged in their favor.
>>96771224Real estate build, except that I'm renting out parts of my body and soul for more power. Verdant Heartwood promotes greater RE production which helps fuel the rest of my Methods, Writhing Swam's Canticle is the gateway to parasitism and actually getting things to use my RE and Perfect Conduit Body, while Heavenly Celestial Scrolls is the opening I need to get Spirits involved down the line, and the complementary abilities/stability is just nice too.Gotta say though Perfect Conduit got a major buff with Writhing Swarm. It was already my favorite Blessing because the amount of screwups you can go through by using the wrong energies is massive, so protection from that and possessions was really nice and makes you able to play far riskier for far far greater rewards. I struggled trying to choose Blessings over Grand Inheritances far more because they are so good overall. Mutated Dantians skyrockets my technique RE production so I'm able to put my natural RE towards fueling everything else that's leeching off it, Power of Friendship and Communication Expert lets me greatly broaden who I can get power from whether it's esoteric creatures or my fellow man, and Dreamwalker is cool just to exist in the subconscious of others while I rest. Really wanted to grab Mastermind to really double down on the whole partnership deal thing but couldn't really think of any other drawbacks I wanted that I could also live with in more ways than one. Already taken keep your friends close and your enemies closer taken to its most literal extremes with Oversoul, Possession, and Parasite bundled together.The only option I chose that I feel kind of iffy on is Lost Legacy. It's really just so strong that it feels silly not to take it. The only thing it really costs is a Grand Inheritance Slot, but comparing it to the other ones it basically covers all the resources you need while also giving you extra blessings which would've cost the same amount of drawbacks.
>>96771287Lost causeshttps://imgur.com/a/lost-causes-0-5-5lVWHST
>>96771287Several, depending on the kind of scenario and the quality of the cyoa you want. There is Altering Hystory, for general story changes. Other than that most are either interactives with a lot of anime and other assorted powers or some alternate version of it like the Valkyria chronicle version.
>>96771287>Alter the courseAhhhh what way?
>>96771325Although altering history is not that great for modern history, most of the options are built around assuming you go back at least thousands of years.
I am going to sleepI hope to see a cyoa waiting for me when I awakenI love you all (Except them)
>>96771338>(Except them)B-But...
>>96771311You just managed to prove that your whole point is meaningless bullshit. Anons are complaining that things were taken away from them, the old version gave them for free, the new version does not and gives proportionally less too. It's a worse experience, objectively. What you are mentioning is just a bunch of random personal opinions and projections that have nothing to do with design.
>>96771104>You get 3 more blessings/treasures/companions compared to before if you take 8 drawbacks.Now you know I don't think that's an equal exchange.
>>96771350I'm sure it isn't youAnd if it was you would deserve it(<3) take it with you
>>96771063To be fair there's an argument to be made that if you increase the difficulty like this and lower player power like this, that people are going to all bunker down and only pick the strongest/safest options rather than branching out and choosing based on taste.
>>96771336That's why I said that it depends. Altering History allows you to do pretty much whatever you want, but it's very freeform and kinda assumes you want to change society as a whole. You can chage ww2 by starting your preparations a couple millennia in advance if you want.
>>96771262Where?
>>96771363That is exactly what is happening. In general limiting options doesn't promote creativity, it promotes searching for the optimal solution, especially in a serious scenario like this.
>>96771180Yeah, Rake writes really cool and fun options, but I can't fucking pick any of them
>>96771388>searching for the optimal solutionNTA but when you start looking for "the optimal solution" instead of "the one I want" it's already over.
>>96771363>lower player power like thisYou're not any less powerful than before
>>96771399You have to in this kind of scenario, the cyoa is forcing your hand. I want to have fun, but I can't if I have to worry about the conceptual bullshit that will kill me if I don't prepare.
>>96770094>I will not be working on my oc tonight.bitch
>>96771408Yes you are. He took away several things and meade them into perks, you could do those for free before.
>>96770094Didn't read. Vaguely care anyway - take a break.
>>96771243NTA but I'm surprised at the reception of this update. I thought the original was kinda shit because the limited options made every build samey. Now that we can have so many methods and blessings to combine I'm actually able to do combos that aren't just going for a straightforward body refiner warrior or spellcasting mage type and picking the Prodigy/RE Efficiency options on almost every build. It might be because of that fact I didn't like the original version that makes me not realize or gloss over all of the things supposedly taken away though.
>>96771408The tribulations are now much more serious, meaning you need to build to counter them.
>>96771227>I could have sworn that the old version had built in Lowly Juniorno but the previous version had a built in kind tribulations, which is more important than Lowly Junior in my eyes
>>96771424You also gain explicit plot armor
>>96771311>the perks to bypass genre conventions 90% of xianxia protagonists deal with and win against need to be freeYou mean the conventions 90% of protagonists also get to breeze by because of plot convenience/being special/meta knowledge/other bullshit they didn't earn? because that's what it is, the protagonist package, that we should have for free being the protagonist.
>>96771446>get to breeze by because of plot convenience/being special/meta knowledge/other bullshit they didn't earn?Go the fuck back to sleep Charlotte.
>>96771453That's literally what 90% of xianxia is, so why do they get to have it and we don't?
>>96771471It would destroy the balance of the CYOA.
>>96771478You mean that giving us back what we already had would destroy the balance? That's not how balance works.
>>96769948Time to dust off Overwhelming Intensity.
>>96771499Milk of Space(where the hell does the owl milk come from?)
>>96771513Look up crop milk.
>>96769948>>96771494You mean this?
>>96771499>You cannot alter your brain to increase your intelligenceFUCKING RUINED
>>96771499I'd usually never turn down an offer to drink Kronii's milk but that power is kinda dogshit. Milk of Space is pretty cool though, but I think the best option is Omega Milk. I got no idea which girl this is attached to though, but not going to worry about it because unlimited (within human limits) shapeshifting is cool.
>>96771528Does this fix the VtM cyoa too?
Rolled 6, 2, 1 = 9 (3d9)>>96771528
>>96771575I'll make a build for >>96769948 later then
>>96771528>Orphan Sukuna>Backshots>AllegationsActual powers and skill to get fair fights? XGetting a cute monstergirl(boy(girl(boy)) to carry me both metaphorically and physically? Hell yeah.
>>96771575Give this man a yandere harem, it's the perfect build for that one cyoa.
>>96771433There's one guy who loses his mind at perceived nerfs and drowns out discussion of updates usually.
>>96771607The fact you accept updates worse than the original doesn't mean anyone that doesn't is the same person.
>>96771626We can tell when you're typing in your ESL cadence.
>>96771528This seems made for CC. The optimal build would be Left It all Behind, Allegations, I'm You, maybe Heaven and Heart instead of one of those. I will make a build later too, probably with a different set, but this is more fun than the update.
>>96771516>>96771516>>96771516Migrate when ready
>>96771633I just got here but do keep chasing ghosts.
>>96771499Chaotic is the best by far. Even with the limitation to power you can assume you can accomplish most of what the other powers can anyway, it would just take more effort.
>>96771209>discordsissy whiningYep its the same.
>>96771815>Get Milk of Time, 25% reduction or a 60% increase.>Get Milk of Space, open a door to a 1.5 star motel with appropriately downgraded appliances.Yeah no I think I'm good, raw numbers make these two absolute garbage and I'd rather not deal with the downgrade versions of the ones who aren't quantifiable.Plus you'll going to have to, you know, drink the cheese.
>>96769948New companions in my eyes.Kairos: could very well become a protagonist. Thankfully his description says he will develop an intense devotion.Hirak: good boyCassian: rape guy. I doubt someone would really pick him, he stops you from having women around you if its not for rape, can't be picked by women and his goals are angering people by just raping. Only if you are like him and want a partner in crime would you pick him.Mono: I am not a pet right? she is useful but her whole alien thing is weird. Not my cup of tea but I understand if someone picks her.Ajax: daughter. Must protect and make into a good person. Must tell her she should stay more or less in human form because my daughter is not becoming a dirty giant clunker.Yesod: sadly he won't become your friend. But he is your worker and a very useful one. He is one of the most useful ones.Catherine: she has kind of a demon inside. I wonder how powerful it is at its full power, because I can't see the demon being like stage 10. So she is kind of limited in future worlds if that demon is all she has. Althought I guess at some point she would kind of just kill the demon, take its full powers and grow like normal then. Waifu.Akua: its weird that her technique gives her super beauty but her image is... not beatiful. Maybe is mind control in the sense you see her as beatiful even if she isn't. Her method looks strong and useful, she having a cult adds manpower and her bad personality traits can be fixed with friendship.Rachel: her method makes her weak by herself, but she is probably the one that gets the biggest buff from protagonist aura, as every beast could awaken ancient Bloodlines, she gains benefits from them and then she gets something too from the aura. Total waifu.Dr Nalka (that should be Dra.): useful but... you become a rat lab and she won't really be loyal.Urul: spy xenophobic, can be "fixed". Not that useful but not hard to get along with.
