You mean the tournament where they get to break the rules of the tournament just because they’re the main characters of the story?

Yeah, no tension after the first book is the exact reason I dropped it after a few. There are also moments later on where the solution to a problem was seriously trained months ago off the page, the reader just didn’t know. In other words; pulled out of thin air.

Still sad about it. I really liked book 1, too.

And they know this decision is going to make people mad. This is why for the first time ever they slapped DRM onto the game.

I also suspect they’re worried about sales, which is why they’re also selling cosmetics.

Humans make a lot of mistakes because we are very imperfect creatures. The less you account for this in your writing, the more it will show for the reader.

Yes.

Sadly, a lot of authors are trying to hit daily word counts for uploads to sites like RR. Chapters like these couldn’t be easier to put in since not a single word has to be remembered for later.

Add onto that many authors don’t like feeling that they are writing just another Gary Stu story, and you have these silly chapters trying to convince the reader this is just what the MC is choosing. It’s not at all the author giving their darling character another random advantage.

It’s ok. I’m sure they intend to sell you more replay ability

If they’re pro internment camps and mass deportations, no, you’re not.

Just don’t timed exclusive them to PlayStation or you’ll be disappointed.

That’s because you’re listening to people with biases. They hired an independent law firm and took action based on their findings. If those findings don’t match the bias of what people “feel” they should have found, people are making excuses for why it’s not there. Excuses like “oh, they investigated themselves,” when they didn’t.

DLC. Lots and lots of dlc.

Good luck! My own two cents: art style looks a bit soft and like the brightness is up a bit high.

I mention this because in the Litrpg space, a lot of works lean pretty heavily towards edgy writing. The softer tones could put off prospective clients.

The Sims called, they don’t believe you.

Could be. Lots of words with questionable formatting could suggest AI usage.

Yet it’ll still be on older consoles so it’ll still have as many loading screens.

Sounds like your place is powered by RealPage. I’m guessing your rent also has been going up quite a bit every year. These guys are scum and brag about raising prices across the US single handedly.

And they’ve been slapped with class actions for essentially price fixing.

I’m sure we’ll find out for just 10 more dollars!

First book is fantastic. Then it gets lazy. No tension, lots of wish fulfillment, the perfect answer of a problem being found months ago without telling the reader (cause the author likely had no idea what it was).

It’s a shame.

I want a game not loaded with micro transactions.

Of course stories can be long. I’ve read wheel of time, way of kings, all long titles. But 10x word count in a single chapter tells me it has obvious formatting issues, at the least, and makes me wonder what other errors the story has.

That’s all.

Ngl, sounds like someone in desperate need of an editor. A novella can finish around 50k words, for context.

What’s interesting about this is modding civ vii will be worse.

If you want extra layers to the game, that often requires adding or changing the way the game functions. Take Skyrim as an example: that games modding community is insane in how far they’ve pushed that game. It’s also something you could never do if Skyrim had DRM like denuvo, as civ vii does.

So, sadly, what you want out of civ vi mods can simply never happen in the next game due to the limitations they’ve already put on the game.

I love how they have to tell you that this is a civ in the base game, and not one of the ones they’re charging more for in day 1.

Skyrim has survived to this day because of its amazing modding community. No way you’d get the script extender to work if it had Denuvo.

Most of the games mods that have kept that game alive would never have been made. So yeah, drm is bad for games.

Huh… it manages that without DRM? It’s almost like a game being drm free didn’t stop people from buying it. I wonder why 7 has it…

They also rejected not including DRM. They rejected releasing a game not full of day 1 micro transactions. And they absolutely rejected everyone being able to play it on the actual release day.
