I’ve definitely bookmarked this one, I immensely enjoyed it. Super intrigues at what they are keeping from our dear MC and exploring them either healing or falling deeper into their trauma. As someone who is in therapy to deal with trauma themselves, this is nice to explore here. Almost therapeutic itself.
It’s sick. It’s what happened at the start of the game and that lightning deity decided we are not going to be normal anymore with the storm. Still indecisive whether it’s pity or torture for a broken MC especially with the training scenes.
Pretty sure it is torture. At the very least I think that, like the uncensored Greek Zeus, the lightning god here is not a particularly nice, gentle or caring god. I mean not only is mc broken at the start but I think we can now pretty decisively say mc was broken and tormented by weavers and now they have to pretend to be happy being one of those. Then there is also the ten years of apparent time displacement as well as being spat out on the other side of the country.
The game itself can already provide an excellent reflection of my mc’s current thoughts on his new situation, a “cosmic consolation prize and a twisted gift he never asked for“.
@Dakimomoe Dakimomoe I was jw if we could get more cautious points? And flirt indicators? Perhaps another response about violence being an assh*le, or that there were ways to compromise Or that were just pissed at their elitism when it comes to :
Basically the orphans were forced to become underground fighters and likely sold to other people. It’s not completely clear how the norms and powered were dealt with. I could see the powered projecting their neglect and beatings on the norms. The powered were probably sold to shady gangs and obviously worth more. MCs memory is unreliable thanks to lies and the MC is too mentally unstable to paint us a full picture so we will learn more as time goes on as we try to adjust.
Amazing work, only issue besides a couple of weird sentences was it could be a bit vague early on, but I suppose that’s what you were going for considering the whole falling out of the sky thing.
It has potential to be sure, but the pacing is slow and the writing too purple prosy instead of being direct to the point which I found to be distracting.
just wanted to chime in and say that this is one of my favorite wips and i am eagerly looking forward to more.
admittedly i am totally ATLAB pilled so anything with that influence on it is going to be a plus but you’ve also managed to flesh out an interesting universe and intriguing characters. the hint of future power fantasy combined with the relatively weak and confused mc is excellent as well.
