Him strongly pursuing power, for himself and the people in his group is pretty much his thing. He stays punchable and without visible emotion really.

It's a wider character arc. He doesn't show emotion and has a punchable face. His actions show something else. He's frustrated by people who don't take action to better themselves, and not really willing to save them. If someone tries to better themselves, not faking it, he'll tell them...

Funny, I thought the first 3 were the peak for that series.

Dude needs to choose a wife already. I know the silver haired chick is the obvious choice but seriously... the redhead.

Yup.

I get your point on the main character, but he does only sleep with female characters. Like every Litrpg the writer tends to push something and then within a couple pages contradicts that assertion directly. I actually find that pretty funny. The only one that isn't on your list that I really...

The is an interesting list. I haven't read Blue Core or Path of Ascension, I'll have to give them a run. I definitely didn't like He who Fights that much, at least after the 3rd book and I l'd probably move Mage Tank up to just under primal hunter. It's interesting where you have DCC. It...

Seriously, was the first question that popped into your mind something about her cracking her knuckles? The first ones for me were more along the line of, what fucking mutation led to that, why didn't you just amputate, and is your leg like that as well?

Bring the Amphora back!

Wow, I did not expect a feel good story in this thread. An owner that good you don't eat all at once...or something.

Ok, done with He who fights with monsters book 9 and I'm done with the series. I liked the first 3 books quite a bit, the second 3 were bad and the last 3 I read were average at best. Minor rant and spoilers/not spoilers ahead.

He who fights with monsters review so far (through book 4). Varying wildly from excellent to wtf bad. Books 1-3 had sections that were among my favorites of all time in litrpg, especially with how he dealt with abilities (other than forgetting about them sometimes), and every now and then...

I don't know if this is a feel good parenting story or just a story I feel like sharing, either way here it is. My son asked me to take him and his son (5yo) camping. Not tough like the BWCA/Quetico but remote enough to be away from stuff. I've been very involved in the grandsons life so...

I'd say that simply putting something in space doesn't make it sci-fi any more than putting a story on a boat makes it a pirate tale. .

"Not a very good science fiction movie but a fun feel good movie." I never claimed it wasn't science fiction, I just said it wasn't very good science fiction. I can add on, here's the story. Hey random guy that had an idea once, teach our astronauts that idea! Nevermind that people in...

"Science fiction (often shortened to sci-fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that deals principally with the impact of actual or imagined science and technology upon society or individuals. Unlike fantasy, which relies on magic or the supernatural, science fiction grounds its...

Done work Mage Tank 5 and Primal Hunter 16. Both were pretty good with Primal Hunter being the better of the two even though it was all setup for the next arc. It is a bit weird how careful the author is to make sure he doesn't just forget characters, but then he misses whole plot points...

There are very few that push any boundaries in science fiction. Some ideas i get a kick out of seeing on screen though. I liked Gattaca, especially the scene where the doctor convinces the parents that they owe it to their child to take advantage of all the medical technology that's...

I finally watched this and am firmly in the camp of not a very good science fiction movie but a fun feel good movie. I think the comment from my wife was along the likes of it being like reading a short story from one of those old science fiction compilations and then hollywooding it up. We...

Mage Tank book 5 is like a primer in how to handle the administrative shit every hero eventually has to deal with. I know this series is no where near finished but it does raise the question, has any series like this had an actual ending that was satisfying and felt like a sensible place to...

That drool in the intro had me loling.

It's got ups and downs. The bad guy being a stereotype doesn't help. I'd say the first book is a good representation of the series. There are good things and stupid things. I liked it enough to finish it but i almost stopped several times.

They're is the fan made booster called The Crimson Scales, it might be hard to find but it's a large expansion to Gloomhaven.

I'm reading the Battleforged series now, it reminds me of reading Eragon. I really wouldn't recommend it unless you are ready to either reread the same things over and over again, aren't tired of every fantasy trope ever, and like deus ex machina.

Trying to pretend that it is woke just shows how little understanding people have of racism and racists. Basically it's pretending that liberal beliefs define what racists think. Racists will hate a movie about a positive black homogenous culture! A racist wouldnt care that Wakanda existed...

How was Black Panther woke? An isolated homogenous community protected by a wall had few issues until they decided to open things up to the world. They quickly fell into conflict and war came to them.

Watching snake tits, so both of the children are cross dressers? I suppose that leans into how wrong everything is on the mountain but it also makes no character relatable. If the parents were cursed or something it might make sense I suppose. It's a shame, I'd be significantly better...

You bring up a really good secondary point. Since the people doing the interviews are generally hard core geneologists, even in some other people's family ones I have seen the questions revolve more around who was what and what did they do than anything actually interesting. I brought this...

The amount they are spending to promote this is insane. I wonder what the break even point looks like now.

Don't worry, once you get 2 generations past your death the only person that will care what you looked or sounded like will be the one freak that is nearly unrelated to you but happens to be into genealogy. My oldest brother is that guy. He did individual interviews with all of the old...

It's weird looking at reviews, independent or critics. It's like they are more worried about what other reviewers are going to think of what they say than actually saying anything.
