>>97596842
>>97596847So with the custom companions, do you just go through the character creation part of the cyoa for them?Personally I think a companion section that just listed off a number of archetypes would be better. But I am of course a companionfag.
>>97596831You JUST had an update from one of the greats. Stop asking.
>>97596559I mean I'm not saying I'm THAT weak, but I would have to actually hit them though.

>>97597086i want to believe
>>97596938I was thinking of making a Villain build who uses the Hyperkinesis to constantly rearrange things around him. He does this according to a pattern by which a person with OCD might rearrange things, but he somehow frames it in terms of moral philosophy.Inspired by the story Northern Caves https://archiveofourown.org/works/3659997?view_full_work=true>The task is never done. No one else can shoulder it for us. The task cannot be theorized into parts such as desire or satisfaction. Instead it presents itself in a complete bolus of absolute responsibility. Each moment we have the choice: perform the duty, or evade the duty. Society as it has existed for millennia is a set of structures mainly aimed at rationalizing the second of these choices. Mundum says: DO. And we may either do or not do. And all the theories, all the structures, all the kings and all the ballot booths, are ways of saying, "but perhaps we can choose not to do." No.>What does one receive in return for obeying Mundum? The other, obverse face of Mundum. I have called this thing "Mundum" bc it is the world, the real world, when one strips away the defenses one has become accustomed to employing. And one face of the real world consists not of matter but of responsibility. The other face consists -- not quite of matter -- but of the RESULTS of responsibility well executedIt was a fun concept. And so I got distracted rereading Northern Caves. But then I felt it wouldn't work well with the PCX build, it's difficult to express what made it fun in the story.
>>97596949>Shonen Oh god. It's Trash all the way down.
What's up motherfuckers?
>>97597562>>97597551it's a troubling piece of work, surely
>>97597566
So far I've made it a habit to eventually experience the versions of characters I use in my CYOAs in their original setting/media, at least in some form - sometimes as an anime adaption, or sometimes from the original media (video game, manga, whatever) if no adaption is available. Like I owe it to them to learn more about the face I'm borrowing, or something...?But SO MANY of the companion pictures I'm using now are from less popular gachas with no adaptations, or long-form media, or both...picking out new companion images brings so much pain now, because every time I see a new niche gacha series, I know I'm burdening my future self months~years down the line with probably 100+ hours of mind numbing gameplay to satisfy some kind of masochistic completionist curiosity
>>97597579
>>97597578I don't believe you
>>97597583
>>97597578You really shouldn't do thatThe intent of the artist is not neccacarily the meaning of the picture, and the meaning of the picture is what mattersRemember that if you put it off long enough skg will make all shutdown gacha create a singleplayer, where you could simply mod directly to the desired character(And emulation will probably do that illegally eventually. It would have happened sooner if it weren't for the lack of white individuals playing gacha)
>>97597616>skg will make all shutdown gacha create a singleplayerSuch boundless optimism. The more likely outcome for the less-popular gachas is simply becoming lost media foreverAnyways, I do keep a divide in my head between the characters in my CYOA and the characters from whatever media their images came from. But the curiosity eventually beckons me.
>>97597649The masses seem to be getting angrier, and any of the smarter politicians will be eager to placate them with bread and circusesSurely there will be atleast one of them willing to mandate that people can play video games not in support>Anyways, I do keep a divide in my head between the characters in my CYOA and the characters from whatever media their images came fromAh goodYou seem like a good author anon.

I tried making a build to Danmachi and I just couldn't do it. There's a canon loli god of destruction (literally Kali) but she's not even a part of the cyoa. How sad is that?

post a cyoa with cool powers
>>97598088no
>>97598048Get fucked.
>>97598141haha silly ducky
>>97598088
>>97598294I don't love this one, but I think it's cool that someone made it their own
>>97598088>post a cyoa with cool powersI'm still very fond of Planeswalker Rising. (Then again, I thought Prodigal was the way to go. Still do, in fact.)
>>97598363
>>97598371
>>97598377
>>97598379Word of God (i.e. author) is that it takes about a thousand years to get the first spell in an element (via independent study), as opposed to buying it here.At the five point level (access, but no spells), an element gives a bunch of "party trick" level abilites.
>>97598394
>>975983941000 years with 100 IQ? Not bad. Just go somewhere with great mental enhancements.
>>97598399Also Word of God - since Prodigals can't owe Requirement Points, they can get one additional Connection for three points, or two for five.
>>97598408
>>97598412"Secrets" option for Adventurers(Can you spot the hidden message embedded in Jylx's secret?)
>>97598363I miss the pre-skubwar era.
>>97598423Yes, first time I see it. But I don't see a Ciri? I used to think Jylx's crush was Notola for some reason.
>>97596922ButCompanions tho. .
>>97598731Why care about them when you can be the strongest?
>>97598738Because I don't strive to 'be the strongest'I just want to go on adventures with friends and let some other chosen one deal with the chakra aliens or whateverthefuck
>>97598776Post discarded.
>>97598787I feel sorry for you, protagonist-kun
>>97598790Your opinion is irrelevant, worthless-kun.
>>97598802The search and attainment of happiness is never irrelevant, friend.I hope you one day learn this lesson.
>>97598738Love conquers all. Seriously, making companions solve CYOAs remains funny as heck.
This general is so dead and useless and hasn't changed in over five years.
>>97598883I'm good at my job.
>>97598883I hate how the tastes here are the same. It's all the same low quality weeb slop. Nobody has an iq higher than ninety.

gil
>>97598363i miss the snowflake threads..
>>97598738>Why care about them when you can be the strongest?"Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!" :)Cheap corporate slogans aside, companions can be invaluable. They can shore up (your) weakpoints, may have access to powers (you) don't . . .and they allow (you) to work on multiple problems simultaneously. Think about it. Just how many events and plot arcs would have turned out differently, if Naruto had proper backup?
>>97598738Based this is the correct take. The worst thing you can do in a cyoa is trade power for companions who aren't compelled to serve you in some way. Imagine getting a wizard companion only for him to leave the next day because he received a research proposal from some university. Cucked yourself put of points you could've used for fire magic you love to see it.
>>97598897You have to have a high IQ to appreciate OR.
>>97598945I don't know how practical a MtG build can be, without at least a little White or Black. At the very least, they aren't very dynamic.White, after all, is the color of caring about good of the Many, even to the point of self-sacrifice. Meanwhile, Black is all about prioritizing Self, even if it means sacrificing other people (sometimes literally). Someone with no White or Black aspect is going to struggle with dealing with society, as they have no guiding metric on what to prioritize in their interpersonal relationships. Without a White streak, they don't act for the good of the group. With a Black one, they don't exploit said group.I've got a close relative who is classic Blue-Red, for example. Just a brilliant guy who can make the most damaged machinery sing in his hands.But put him in a group? He just . . .sits there. And he will let problems get totally out of control, because he has no frame of reference to guide his social interactions. At least not until he gets angry, or someone starts buttering him up (and his Red side starts giving him feedback based on his emotions). Sigh - There are small kids in the family right now, and at least once per family get-together, I want to kick his ass for being so passive. Because it will be obvious that they're about to get into trouble, and he won't be able to act to head it off. At least not until it gets so out of hand that the situation scares or angers him.(Very, very frustrating situation, as all the Black and White aspected relatives have to constantly cover for him.)>miss the snowflake threads..Snowflake threads?
>>97598989
>>97598991
>>97598989Yeah so people use to make a builds of OC planeswalkers and a little lore about where they're from and the spells/summons they have access in and their colour identities, it was fun.
>>97598947Why do you keep posting the ants version of this?
>>97599013Ant version? Huh . . .I must have saved a corrupted copy. Hadn't noticed that before. Sorry
>>97598992>the most badass Planeswalker that ever livedI don’t know what’s sadder, the fact that this fag got bodied by a random archangel and KNELT to Yawgmoth or the fact that the Jastice League underperformed so hard that due to a combination of Bolas consistently screwing up, other potential rivals like Serra dying for stupid reasons like “muh heartbreak”, and the Jacetice League being entangled in events that eventually result in THE MULTIVERSE ITSELF REJECTING PLANESWALKERS, NERFING EXISTING SPARKS AND ENSURING NO NEW ONES WILL BE MADE.It’s not even wrong. And that’s a fucking tragedy. Fuck I hate nu-MtG.
>>97599096Good. Planeswalkers (and players to an extent) are nothing but trouble.
>>97596596So I've watched this interesting vid about the best immortality options in Naruto and came to the conclusion that having the Reningan is the best method. Edo Tensei Reversal was listed as number 1 but that has a big dawback of becoming an unfeeling undead. Here's the vid if someone is interested;https://youtu.be/997nxyZRp2U
>So I've watched this interesting vid about the best immortality options in Naruto and came to the conclusion that...
>>97599165But surely you are conflating a given immortality option with powers surrounding and associated with said option
>>97598989Reds lead other reds as warlords and conquerors.Reds do not belong in faggoty societies ruled by blacks and whites.
>>97599247I've never watched Naruto in my life. That's exactly why I hate seek external information to know the setting better.>>97599255I'm not sure I understand what you mean anon. Can you elaborate?
>>97599306I think his point is that the Rinnegan has virtually limitless powers, so taking it to become immortal is kind of missing the forest for the trees. Or maybe like taking a private jet to the grocery store.
>>97599311Oh yeah, I was already contemplating taking the Rinningan, the immortality plus just sealed the deal for me. Its the most cost effective option in the entire cyoa hands down.
>>97599165from what I know the rinnegan by itself doesn't automatically give you immortality, at most you could make it with the custom abilities but with that argument then you can also get it with the sharingan's, legendary artifact's and celestial heart's custom abilities.the best non-custom immortality option is the enhanced body perk which also improves your body in every way, makes you immune to natural diseases and gives you 10 pointswith the second place being soul transfiguration which can be a bit expensive costing 33 points but having all elemental affinities and the ability to manipulate souls justifies it.>>97599321>Its the most cost effective option in the entire cyoa hands down.don't get me wrong, the rinnegan is a very strong option but I don't like how it ends up consuming all of your points so one's build ends up revolving around just the rinnegan.
>>97599336>from what I know the rinnegan by itself doesn't automatically give you immortalitySasuke explains that it does when detailing his world domination plan.>build ends up revolving around just the rinneganIt is the single strongest ability in the entire series, so that's not really much of a deal-breaker.
Could Perfect Integration let you copy Kekkai Genkai that were already transplanted from someone else? Like Kakashi's sharingan.
>>97599388yeah should work at least ripping out the eye and stealing it for yourself should work, don't know about the blood though, maybe?
>>97599306>I've never watched Naruto in my life. That's exactly why I hate seek external information to know the setting better.The anime is dated as fuck (it has some great fights, but the overall series is slow and badly animated), but the manga still holds up and is an incredible read, would recommend 10/10.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfQ1g0e61JA
>>97599343Technically second strongest, after chidori.

>>97599878>Danmachi is a really bad anime>but the cyoa was fineHow can you enjoy a CYOA that's based on a franchise you dislike?
>>97599891There's no specific answer. It's just that there are many aspects to a cyoa, and the franchise it was based on (if it's franchiseslop) is just one aspect?
>>97599686I'm okay with this
I noticed that Dongmashit shitposting only resurges when the drought hits. Its truly bottom of the barrel garbage. Equivalent to mud cakes people eat during famines.
>>97599706This text was changed in the update. The way it reads now, if you buy 5 Level Ups and pick 5 Development Powers, you get D level for all of them, am I reading it right? In the old version, your abilities would go D, E, F, G, H level, in the order you got them.

Is there a reason why you guys post the cyoas over multiple posts instead of just the first page with the rest in catbox links?Just seems like you get to the image limit very fast the way you guys are doing it
>>97599706Why does Favored Path cost 20??? I could get 5 levels instead for less cost and massively more gain.
>>97600182No matter how we cut it, there will be less engagement with that tactic.
>>97600182That's not a practical consideration. Very few cyoag threads reach image limit, perhaps 1 in 100, and if it happens it's because someone is being silly rather than by accident.
>>97600150I'd prefer he stopped but not much I can do about it.>>97600193The nature of the levelup option makes it more mechanically powerful than almost anything else. The tradeoff being the fact that you're spending a lot on something that's fairly achievable in-setting.If you take levelup without development abilities you're impacting your overall potential even harder, and the cost goes to 20+ when you do take them.

>>97599706The power system of this world is basically shooting yourself in the head and advancing if you don't die. Utter madness. This world needs a better power system, and I will create it.This endeavor will need many people to help test out theories, provide data, find materials, etc. The beginning will be difficult, but the potential of a new path, one that isn't suicidal, ought to receive everyone's support. I predict that initial success with be achieved within a century.I chose alchemy as the main field in which the power system will be based on because:1. Accessibility: it typically doesn't require gods, spirits, and other conditions that can only be fulfilled by a tiny amount of people.2. Versatility: practically anything is possible with the right methods and materials.3. Replicability: anyone can learn alchemy, and materials can be refound or recreated.The power system will be based on paths, like fire mage, dragon warrior, shadow assassin, and so on. Each will have a gradual progression of gaining synergistic powers and enhancing relevant aspects, but also a set of alchemy recipes, training regimes, and possibly other requirements. Some will be compatible with each other, some won't. All should be compatible with falna because falna is technically just a buff from being connected to a god that can be removed or added at any time to anything. On the topic of falna, to not be dependent on gods is another reason for creating the power system.As soon as I can, I will spread a number of the first few levels of the easiest and highest compatibility paths for free! Everyone will have the opportunity to embark on the path of power! Those with ambition will come to Orario for greater methods and necessary materials. The overall power of the world will greatly increase, and there will be many more adventurers in the battle against the dungeon.>Path:Adventurer>Race:ElfFor congenital magic, as opposed to the acquired magic from falna.

Frida trying to keep us out of trouble as the team Mom and Dora often getting us in to it as the fun Wine-Aunt.As for what do? Probably keep my head down a bit. Brew some beer and try not to be too much of a fuck up. Maybe I can make Soma smile. Actually, fuck it. Going to make it my job to clean up the Soma Familia. Will start by clearing out those just here to exploit the downtroden. Try to attract some artisan brewers or merchants to bring in some more wealth.Probably try to shack up with an elven or hobbit femboi or an Amazonian or Dwarven Muscle-Mommy.
>>97600427>Development Abilities:>C:D not C. It says "H plus one letter rank for each other levelup you purchased". You purchased 5 levelups, so 4 "other levelups" means H+4=D.
>>97600494>elves do not have the three spell limit. They can learn as many spells as they can afford spellbooks for.pretty sure that is not true, the only two elves that have more than three spells are because they have a very specific skill/spell that allows them to copy or modify spells into another.elves are strong because they have an affinity for magic (which we already know is op at higher levels), have a higher chance of gaining magic spells, an insanely long lifespan and that's before taking falna and stats into account.meanwhile hobbits are small and frail with the high level hobbit being a rare exception rather than a rule.
>>97600528Oh, no, you're right. I'm blowing smoke out of my ass.
>>97600526Ah, I'll correct it if I update the build again.
>>97600536You WILL update the build again.
>>97600526What's the difference between the letters anyway? Concretely speaking.
>>97599706I'm happy to see you're still around 5anon. Harbinger was a big inspiration for me, in multiple ways.
>>97600590According to the Wiki, it's a stat ranking. D is in the 500 range (out of 1000), though it also provides an example of an ability that peaks in effectiveness early on at G (200).
>>97600590It translates to increased effects of development abilities. Reflect deals more damage, Stealth gives better concealment, stuff like that. There's no hard references for development ability scaling in canon unfortunately.

>>97596603Oh boy this one is looking amazing.Who is making this, are they following the novels, the webnovel version or the manga?Also to whoever is making this amazing CYOA please include the option to romance companions/a romance section.

>>97600702That anon was unfortunately right. cyoag is shonenfag territory at the moment.
>>97600494Half right. Elves can learn magic that isn't dependent on falna, so yes, they can learn as much magic as they want, but they are typically still limited to 3 falna spells.
>>97600804Miss Justice is the one calling for my heart.
>>97599336>one's build ends up revolving around just the rinneganThis doesn't make sense. The rinnegan option is literally about taking other things.

She also has some really high level employees, including some powerful elf mages I can crib notes/support from. I'll take combat as my bonus training, which seems like it would be mandatory for dungeon diving.But now I have four points left. Do I grab Torrent to ensure I have good magic options, or do I grab skills that I cannot replace later? If I said Exalt was a rainbow magic, then Affinity (Light) would be really strong, I think. Yeah, and Intense Heat would compound pretty hard too with my buff based build. I'll add those two.
You can always go for Perfect Integration and just obtain it by stealing from Nagato. Or, if you want your own, by mixing chakra of reincarnations of Indra and Asura.
>>97596603I'll wait for the One True Build.
>>97600413>poop with friends :)
>>97601052There are two Pillars theoretically accessible. It will be Two True Builds, at minimum.
>>97601066The One True Build would control the other pillar.
>>97601053yes :)
>>97601047Perfect Integration doesn't work. The rinnegan is from aliens.
>>97601074This is the best way to be raped by Convergence.
>>97601090I said control, not accommodate, retard.
>>97601047>Or, if you want your own, by mixing chakra of reincarnations of Indra and Asura.That's a good idea actually. If I copied Hashirama's Wood Style and a Sharingan would that be enough?
>>97601083Sharingan technically too. It still obviously works.
>>97601097Not any Sharingan, no. You need chakra from Sasuke or Madara (true) specifically.
Hi, does anyone have a version with better resolution of this CYOA?https://drive.google.com/file/d/1frriYjewF2IAosdvZmX8ZieMBC4MSY_h/view?usp=sharing
>>97601109Ok, seems doable. Probably go for young sasuke first, then steal some Hashirama cells when I feel up for it.
>>97601046Actually, Spirit says your mana regen gets faster the lower your mana pool is, so it might combo really well with Pressurized. Then I could get Torrent and Nova outright without having to risk the trouble of finding a good spell and still have six points to spare. The only problem is that would have to wait until I level up and actually gain Spirit, but I feel like the spells we can get in this are really top notch.
>>97601205>Actually, Spirit says your mana regen gets faster the lower your mana pool isNo it does not.
>>97601187Wait for your turn. We're discussing important things.

>>97601427>he fell for the Omniscience memelol
>>97601454Even if it's only relative Omniscience and Omnipotence, it will be more than enough to find agenda-ridden r*dditors and perform something like Secret Art: Testicular Torsion on them.
>>97601205Okay, third idea. Taking development abilities isn't that good when I'm not buying levels. If I drop them, Affinity, and Intense Heat, I can buy Pressurized, and then I'm one point shy on three tier three magics. But if I've already got Metamagic and Torrent, maybe dropping Nova down to Restore is fine. How rare is healing magic in this setting? Cure disease could be either dirt cheap or really good.
>>97601491>wanting to kill the whole threadWhy?
>>97601491What agenda? Agenda = any goals other than BE THE STRONGEST?
>>97601046>makes a min maxed mage build>even grabs favored path>only magic spell they own is exalt which grants a stat buffso far you just made at best a very strong support to buff allies (which is pretty good), at worst an normal adventurer but worse because you need a long chant time to actually get your stats to a above average levelyou are also wildly underestimating how hard it is to get spells even for elves.if you go for a mage build you want to max out your spells slots because not only is getting new ones extremely hard, getting new ones after you already have spells gets even harder, for example one of the best mages in canon can't seem to fill their third spell slot even after buying multiple grimoires.imo with those extra points at least buy a single attack spell to defend yourself and consider getting a third spell for whatever role you want to take in the dungeon.
>>97601523>the whole thread is full of agenda-ridden r*dditorsGrim.>>97601532Don't try to pretend to be retarded. You understand what I mean perfectly well.
>>97600182Because people generally dont like having to go hunting through links, and having the images be in the thread helps with commenting on them.

>>97601608>The best caster pathway sucksDo DoKfags really?
>another discussion I can't followI hate franchises like you wouldn't believe. All cyoas should be originals.
>>97601619Reader? more like Fraudster lmao.
>>97601630Just read the source material nigga. Its not boring I promise.
>>97601633>FraudsterThat's the fool pathway.
>>97601552I already swapped some things out, but I did have to rethink Exalt for a little. Ultimately, I think Torrent is the most important spell on the list (insane versatility), but with an actual attack spell, Restore might be better than Nova since it can clear other things, and then I might as well stick with Exalt over Raise in case I have some party members to cast it on. Raise would be easier to cast on myself, though.
>>97601592>culture wars dramaTo call it that is a heavy exaggeration.If we try to be serious, the world In Modern Days will face many much more serious problems than angry Readers.>>97601608Yeah, Testicular Torsion by itself is clearly not enough. We'll start with making you suck massive white "towers".

>>97601675The best way to beat any nonsensical allegations is to bring calamity upon those who make them.

Potential man pathways always have the most obnoxious fanbases. They all screech about their supposed superiority while having the most embarrassing canon feats. Especially Reader and Paragon, both have the most cowardly and useless bitchmade gods in the whole story lmao. >inb4 "I'm built different!"Nah you're the exact same type of jobber lol.
>>97601733these are the only two pathways that never had a named character die thoughsoever
>>97601741That's because they're irrelevant background NPCs kek.
>>97601733>ParagonStiano's a fucking fraud that only swapped to Paragon at S2 because he was too scared of Hidden SageDon't judge the pathway because of a hermit fraud that never acted as a paragon
>>97601637NTA but where should I read it? People usually link me back to the version hosted on archive.org, but that fan translation is grating to read.More than my average korean regression epubs.
>>97601798Here you go brody:https://novelbin.me/novel-book/lord-of-the-mysteries
>>97601733>Potential man pathwaysNah, I'd copy. Nah, I'd envision. Nah, I'd graze. Nah, I'd steal. Nah, I'd deprive. Nah, I'd project history. Nah, I'd conquer. Nah, I'd enslave.Too many potential man pathways...
>>97601804>1000+how the fuck am I supposed to finish it before tankista does
>>97601813By reading 50 chapters a day
>>97601813Picture this - you're a computer science student and you have an essay to return tomorrow. It's 3 A.M but you hear a random music on Youtube that energize you. You're UNSTOPPABLE. No, better yet - you're the STRONGEST. The APEX. HIM.
When you think about it, White Towers have one of the hardest starts in the In Modern Day origin. Their sequence 9-8 has no combat abilities or physical enhancements, and their sequence 7 only gains mastery of combat in comparison to ordinary people. Their sequence 6 is especially dangerous since, if they want to digest their potion and actually use Imitation for anything, they have to go around looking for magical things to Analyze and study. Being a field researcher in magical apocalypse Earth is the seq 6 equivalent of being a Mysticologist, you HAVE to constantly risk your life for knowledge. There's no church with convenient vaults of artifacts and libraries of preexisting knowledge for Analysis, you've gotta be the trailblazer. How are you even going to get the opportunity to Analyze and imitate useful combat abilities when you yourself have little combat power and no stealth ability? Ask your friends for help?
>>97601733Do you realize that this is an insult to the author's writing skill, not the paths themselves?
>>97601813Chapters fly fast when you're consuming kino.
CYOA that you play which would make females laugh at you if they knew?
>>97601813You should thankful it lasts this long. The hollowness that follows completion is too far to matter.
>>97601824Pick Twilight Giant. It suits you....Why are you only considering the main path and ignoring everything else in the cyoa?
>>97601848Either shonen slop or BTG slop.
>>97601824>Ask your friends for help?unironically yes. get contacts, allies, companions, participate in beyonder gatherings, the whole nine yards. WT is one of those pathways that is best in a group of themselves where they can all share knowledge and advance in power as a unit.trying to get anywhere all alone in the pathway about knowledge and teaching is retarded, not even klein with his cheats could pull that off
>>97601806Potential man means they have the theoretical potential to be great but we've never seen them at that level. On the other hand we've seen what the Fool, Marauder and Visionary pathways at their peak.
>>97601848literally all of them.anyways here's another franchise cyoa, enjoy!
>>97601858Klein has absurdly powerful allies, so he's really an example of winning by leveraging the power of others.
>>97601824That's how all dweeb pathways fags are. They all automatically assume that they'll breeze pass any obstacle and have all knowledge/resources they need at their disposal.
>>97601818>1432 chapters>you must read exactly 50 per day, and you'll finish it when the CYOA releases1432 / 50 = 28.64 days from now. That's March 23. We were told the release date of the CYOA.
How have we gone back to lotm posting?
>>97601885Somehow, a WIP is eclipsing two updates at once.
>>97601759>>97601827Not at all. Cuttlefish was clear that some pathways are predisposed to certain personality types. Paragon and Reader are the useless nerd pathways, precisely because they attract useless nerds. Its that simple.
>>97601804i hope there is romance
>>97601733this >>97601827remember when the canon explanation for why the world remained in technological stasis for 200 years despite the existence of paragons was a lack of oil? then cf realised that was retarded so he moved to a more nebulous "lack of resources". then he realised that too was retarded and just blamed everything on stiano nerfing everyone
>>97601895Such is the power TankCHADKA.
>>97601895It's potential man: the cyoa.Like Magi Case people will play it ONCE at release then never again.
>>97601900Unfortunately there isn't. The protag is too busy desperately trying not to fucking die horribly (or worse) to have the time for romance. There is some implied attraction between characters and many sexual undertones but no true romance.
>>97601917It will dominate the threads for 2 months AT LEAST.
>>97601885Better than a dead thread.
>>97601733Why did you post a picture of techsissys?
>>97601936We could discuss Danmachi and Naruto instead. Y'know, the cyoas that JUST got updated instead of the wip still months away?

>>97601237Obviously we will all immediately form into a mystery cult, and I hear there's a pathway that both makes you unaging and a womanIt then follows that all of the jobber anons who cannot get the limited higher powers will be funneled into this demoness pathwayAs of such, I will pick whatever counters that best, and then assemble a harem of genderswapped outsiders to do my biddingIf there is an option to be effectively unknowable then I might pick thatI'd like to be free
>>97601993>nahDon't come crying to me the next time your shit thread is invaded by offtopic bullshit.

>>97602018>your>not ourthis guys not even one of us...
>>97602010>Hunter pimpchad leading a harem-squad of assassin bitches.hmmmm not a bad idea...
>>97602035Haremfags always come out on top.
>>97602042In general having companions is a busted strategy
>>97602052Cutting bonds is the pathway to be THE STRONGEST
>>97602052Especially for Red Priest, leading others is one of their specialties/advancement requirements.
Reminder that the Paragon pathway was so bad, Roselle chose to commit ego suicide than remain a techjeet.
>>97602010>will be funneled into this demoness pathwayOnly Hunters and the ED pathways (Darkness, Twillight Giant, Death) can do that switch, and the rituals to do that aren't that simple. S4 is a lot easier in modern day, but you'd pretty much need to be a demoness yourself or have a sealed artifact to do it, and S3 likely can't be done without at least a demoness or another artifact to find and travel to the mirror self.
>>97602079>Vtorusha>RoselleI don't understand why techfags die. Like, where are the 432 backups on the Cloud? The contigencies?
>>97602085There will be a cyoa.It is most likely that we will have access to tools and resources not present in the original setting, and in such a case I would not consider it unforseeable that an abberant switch could happenAnd, if it is possible, and the only other ways to immortality require conflict, it is extremely likely that there will atleast wind up being a disproportionately high number of demoness pathways I think 'wait and see' is an alright strategy here
>>97596603>S0 Hermit Ritual: Gather all the information one has left in the world. Then, find a suitable place and way to completely hide them, leaving no traces behind.This is absurd. If you have any enemies of an equal level, they can just possess random stuff from you from hundreds of years ago to cockblock you forever. Even people who aren't your enemies can extort you to hell and back.

I can fix Mother of Depravity with my dick.
>>97602135Why would your enemies be keeping random stuff you had hundreds of years ago? Did they know about the S0 ritual before you did?
>>97602141It's closer to spiritual erosion because they lack sufficient godhood to resist the passive hax of all the death/decay gods/GOOs
>>97602148>he says, while pregnant
>>97602152Men can't get pregnant, silly.
>>97602142>Please klein I need this! my information kinda unknownless...
>>97602119>an abberant switch could happenYeah i agree that there will likely be abberant switches as an option, but if any pathway is available there's plenty of easier choices like Sun who has far more reasonable S4-S3 rituals. Certainly some might be forced to do that kind of switch, but for a considerable number to be forced to fight for demoness it would likely be "Only Calamity of Destruction is empty", at which point wins whoever has the better S0 sugar daddy.
>>97602175That's my usual face reading the thread.
>>97602157
>>97602148>dick gets pregnant gg
>>97602149The point is that anyone who knows about the ritual can easily prevent any potential s1 Hermit beyonders from advancing.It may not be that much of a problem in other origins (because you will never have a chance to advance to s0 anyway due to the path group already having ~3 gods, so the ritual is of no concern to you), but in modern day, everyone who has read the novel or the wiki or just this thread knows the ritual.
>>97602157How do we tell him bros...?
>>97602216Don't. let him try it out. Its a once in a lifetime experience. He may even like it.
>>97602256That's how you start the Tok pathway.
If you can't conceal information about yourself in this world, create a new one. Or a new (You) with a new fate.

>>97602539What is the name of this CYOA image?
>>97602543These cringe memes are never gonna catch on. Its like something aro would make.
>>97602735I thought the same thing lmao
>>97602735These meme don't even make sense. The joke was originally about Dawn fixing evil anons into good persons but it somehow got twisted into futafaggotry out of nowhere. I'm pretty sure its Tok's doing.

>>97602730"Choices of a New World CYOA (by Nenseki)"
>>97599729my only problem is that I have no idea what the fuck great spirit means or does and the wiki does not explain spirits.
>>97599706>gods got brutally guttedWhat is it with this author and updating cyoas to be worse?
>>97602890You wanted an update, right? Stop bitching.
>>97602890Brutally gutted how?
>>97602907>You wanted an update, right?I never once said this.
>>97602890>t. Whinejeet
>>97602875Functionally the same as a monster, but from the surface and typically benevolent.
>>97602875from my understanding you basically get a not really monster not really person, who have strong magic and can bless an adventurer with powerful magic and/or skills depending on the spirit's element (still limited by the 3 spell slots rule), they can also through an unknown and rare method reproduce with adventurers to make a half-spirit? baby who also inherits cool magic and/or skills related to the spirit's element.Spirit lore is super vague but from the few things we know I would say they are more than worth the 10 point cost, especially considering you are getting a high leveled healer in the mix.
>>97602790>grrrrrrrrlpwwwrrrr pegging da boyzAro remains the top suspect.
>keep raving about danmashit for months>finally get it>it's not good enoughRats, the lot of you.
>>97596603Why does s4 White Tower give a bump of 20% for imitation while s3 gives nothing for it? Why were they not 10% each like the other sequences? Seriously, what the fuck?
>>97599706Ass cyoa updated to be even more ass.
>>97602974Assratchi
>>97599706Why does being a god cost 10 points if you don't get any of the cool powers or abilities?
>>97603002The author hates anything cool.
>>97596603Justiciar is outhttps://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/VYhO4YhKJo8pVREmJivrzQ
>>97603002gods are fully immortal where even if killed you just chill in heaven unless you die in the dungeon, you can recruit adventurers who will kill and die for your (most of the time) because you are the source of their powers, you have super strong abilities related to your domain but using them will also automatically put you in heaven time-out, and most importantly gods aren't restricted to Rank 2 training and can buy as many Rank 3 as they can afford.
>>97603011>can nerf a true god to seq 2 strength at angel level for 3 secondswhat the fuck
>>97603028It's bait, anon
>>97603028>immortality taxThat's gay fuck this cyoa. You can have it back.
>>97601237I'm gonna fuck the GOO Mothers as a chad Wheel of Fortune. Wish me luck bros.
>>97603049get in line lil bro
>>97603028Gods should get +10 points for having the downside of not being able to do anything fun and being super high profile targets.
>>97603002I think it's best understood as 2 separate cyoas, like the PPPP eras. They're not supposed to be balanced, obviously adventurers can't measure up to gods, no amount of point difference would make that work.
>>97602959I'm not into pegging.
>>97603061The author wants you to play as adventurers and so is actively disincentivizing building a god, anon.
>>97603011>>97603035A Justiciar beyonder cannot make full use of their own balancing power because they would end up equal. No, its s2's best use is to be made into a sealed artifact, keeping its level to s2, thus "balancing" others to s2 regardless of the user's sequence. Every s2 sealed artifact is a 3 second god killing window. Barring other factors, any king of angel (except trash like Wheel of Fortune) equipped with a s2 Justiciar sealed artifact can easily kill a god.
>>97603105>sealed artifactSo basically a paragon upscale, gotcha
>>97602135>>S0 Hermit Ritual: Gather all the information one has left in the world. Then, find a suitable place and way to completely hide them, leaving no traces behind.>This is absurd. If you have any enemies of an equal level, they can just possess random stuff from you from hundreds of years ago to cockblock you forever. Even people who aren't your enemies can extort you to hell and back.How is "information" defined in the setting? Do you have to kill all your friends, allies, students . . . just because they know you exist? Burn every book you wrote? And ultimately be a black hole of knowledge, taking it in, but never sharing it?Sigh - that might be why they're part of the Demon of Knowledge, though. The other Pathway - Paragon - has a pretty messed up ascension ritual (consuming 10k souls), too
>>97603148>Do you have to kill all your friends, allies, students . . . just because they know you exist? Burn every book you wrote?Not necessarily. The Hermit pathway is specialized in the magical manipulation of information. They could use their powers to simply delete written and digital records of themselves from existence, the books and servers amended so that their name never shows up. Since memories are a form of information they'd likely be able to affect those as well, literally "taking out" the info and storing it someplace else as a magical construct.The real problem is removing all information of yourself from the minds of equivalent-level beings, you might have to actually kill those guys if they don't consent to forgetting about you.
>>97603148>consuming 10k soulsThere seems to only be a lifeforce extraction ritual? Where did you find this "consuming 10k souls" ritual? Anyway, it's nothing, really, compared to some others. 10k is very small if we look at things from a glo-nay, coun-nay, provin-nay, CITY perspective. New York has over 8 million people; 10k barely makes a dent.
>>97602915increased skill costs and separated shit out, while adding lots of options and still giving gods -10 points. Not even a way to add more points this time
>>97601046>rainbow magic???
>>97603168Sorry - it was 100k souls in the Illuminator potion. At least according to the wiki:>100,000 souls of those who perished during a civilization's declinehttps://lordofthemysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Paragon_Pathway/Advancement
>>97603179They also got +10 points
>>97603207But it costs 10 still to play a god. Might as well have changed nothing.
>>97603202Oh, that's an easy ingredient to obtain in modern day. Perhaps you would need to be heavy handed in other origins, but in modern day, in maybe a century, all but a few civilizations will perish, so free souls will be plentiful.
>>97603222So they're gutted because effectively nothing changed and now there's more options?
>>97603234gutted because things you could get as a god before are arbitrarily separated out and cost more now and they still have -less points than mortals for some reason
>>97603242You do have 10 more points as a god. You had no way to get more points as a god before either so it's a net gain of 10 points. Adventurers on the other hand now have a 20 point tax instead of 15 so you have only a 5 point gain.
>>97603252>You had no way to get more points as a god before either so it's a net gain of 10 pointsRetard
>>97603260How did you get more points as a god before? Other than multiplayer, because that's just setting yourself up for failure.
>>97603228>that's an easy ingredient to obtain in modern day. Perhaps you would need to be heavy handed in other origins, but in modern day, in maybe a century, all but a few civilizations will perish, so free souls will be plentiful.. . .I was more concerned with the ethics of devouring souls, anon.
Any good new cyoas released?
>>97603279They're gonna dissipate on their own anyway, so you might as well make use of them. Even if you had to personally kill 100k, with the power of a s1 Paragon, you can benefit billions, trillions even, for a very long time to come (perhaps eternity if you ascend to godhood), so from a consequentialist moral perspective, that's a pretty good deal.
>>97603279Becoming part of an archangel is a far better fate than languishing around and becoming an evil spirit or whatever. No afterlives will exist until a high level Death betonder makes one, so really you're doing everyone a favor by cleaning up those souls.
>>97603279If we're in the lotm cosmology, then it doesn't matter; there shouldn't be a Death or Eternal Darkness appearing so quickly, so there's no afterlife
>>97599706Didn't really fix any of my issues with the previous versions so I wont be updating a build.
>>97601237which path will make me a judge/lawyer?
>>97603425Arbiter
>>97601237Seriously speaking, aside from formulas and rituals made impossible by circumstance, is s3 White Tower is most difficult advancement? As an s4, you need to get the cooperation or a corpse and items of a s2. It's ridiculous.
>>97603448It's easy peasy, you just need their blessing. Use your analysis-wisdom hacks to find one and ask for a blessing to advance. Both pathways have their own versions of analysis, if they look at you and like what they see they bless you and move on. Everyone's happy.
>>97603480They hold all the cards. What sort of cost would they demand of you? Slavery for 100 years? All your assets? Both? Or, if you have no backing, just enslave you forever? And this is assuming you can even find one.
>>97599706How good is Luck? Better than Spirit and Panoptes? I've got 4 points to spend on either.
>>97599706The name "Pressurized" is completely contrary to what it does.
>>97599706Does the god from Unlocked Falna disappearing mean that they went else where or literally do not exist anymore? If it is the former, if they die, then your falna still locks, right?
>>97603490If it were me I would have a clan or something you would need to marry into(Second wives are permissible but the heir to your position and stuff must be from our part of the family)
>>97603448>Seriously speaking, aside from formulas and rituals made impossible by circumstance, is s3 White Tower is most difficult advancement? As an s4, you need to get the cooperation or a corpse and items of a s2. It's ridiculous.Assuming the author is still writing, it wouldn't surprise me to see a retcon of the White Tower requirements. While originally distinct entities, the Wisdom Dragon ascended to become the current White Tower. That makes him a key aspect to achieving the top 3 tiers of White Tower. The easiest retcon is that "Wisdom Dragon" is a title, and when the old one ascended, there became a slot for a new one. (And if you help a new being get the "wisdom dragon" title, well, they'd owe you a lot, right?)
>>97603577Should be, you really can't go wrong with luck.
>>97603490>They hold all the cards. What sort of cost would they demand of you? Slavery for 100 years? All your assets? Both? Or, if you have no backing, just enslave you forever? And this is assuming you can even find one.Not everyone plays the game (of life) that way, anon. Some people actually foster rising stars, you know. To ensure they have talented subordinates, that potential rivals think well of them . . . Or heck, even a general sense of benevolence. And if good will fails, there's always politics. The protagonist of LotM pulled half the pantheon into a battle during his ascension attempt. Either to help him, to hurt him, to screw over a third party, or to prevent certain possible outcomes.Enemy of my enemy, anyone?
>>97603737
>>97603737They are chinese anonThat isn't going to work
>>97596603I still don’t understand why anons get so immersed in a one-page WIP CYOA.
>>97603882It's less about the cyoa and more just an excuse to talk about the franchise.
>>97603897So like most franchise cyoas?
Looking for some good old/simple cyoa's, anyone have any?
>>97603917Yes, which is why the actual quality of the cyoa doesn't matter as much as it would otherwise.
quality-of-lifemaxxing > bethestrongestmaxxing
>>97604096Make sure to pee before we leave the house.
>>97604096Those aren't mutually exclusive. The strongest will naturally have the highest quality of life possible simply because they can do whatever the fuck they want.
Did that tease and denial cyoa someone promised in 2014 come out yet?
>>97604365Surely it will be out soon.
>>97604336How wouldnthe berserking dragon in constant pain to boost his strength gonna have a great quality of life? Being the strongest and comfortable only works if your just some god, where you are just effortlessly the strongest simply triugh your nature. So If your cheating and have the power of nepotism on your side.If you start on equal footing with the rest well then you will simply be overpowered by the dude that sacrificed more of their comfort for power.
>>97604453>hey dude, want to team up to kill the power stealer/copy guy before he goes rogue?>lmao yesOn an equal footing, the ones that network the best will be the ones who survive unless the scaling is rapidly exponential.
>>97604453Ah yes the classic "making shit up to support my shit argument". Truly the most sophisticated of debate tactics.
>>97604453>the berserking dragon in constant pain to boost his strengthIs this really the ideal powerfags strive for?
Is it true that cats rule this general? Asking for a friend
seems like a good time to post this
>>97604504
>>97604503No
>>97604476Ohh... so this isn't a 1 v 1 tournament kind of deal then yeah at that point being the strongest doesn't even fucking matter. You just reach real world politics where the most powerful countries maintain the power of balance amongst themselves individual power doesn't matter the idea of being the strongest individual is just a stupid goal if a dozen of weaker guys can just beat you up if you go against the established status quo.
