A Mediocre Review of Shangri-La Frontier

I don't know why I like it so much.

I .. really really don't. Like, I get *part* of it, but not the entirety.

On to the description and review!

Basic Plot: Fully Immersive VR Exists! Wow, that's never been done before!

The MC actively seeks out shitty, glitchy, broken games (or really any ones that most other people would avoid), to play. And he is good at them!

Looking for something new, he grabs the game Shangri-La frontier (the most popular one that exists). Aside from first being shocked at how good it feels to play a non-shitty game, he finds that playing broken games has given him good experience for non broken ones.

Fighting enemies that are invisible due to a glitch makes ones that are invisible by design wayyy easier type of deal.

The world of Shangri-La frontier is intricately designed, and a lot of the lore and unique monsters haven't been discovered yet. Due to luck, his unique play style, and friends from other games, he manages to quickly punch through stuff that the player base hasn't touched yet!

Ok, I know, it sounds... mediocre.

But I *love* it. There are no real stakes except for various characters pride. They jump to other games and real-world so it doesn't feel too bogged down. The MC does have some 'plot armor' for most of the major battles, but in between he is shown falling to mobs not infrequently!

While he has some bonkers unique shit, it isn't shown as being overpowered, rather just "he managed to make a very weird build that he can exploit, but others will have trouble and has a shit ton of flaws" Along with other players also having unique weapons or fight styles or w/e that blows him out of the water.

And when other games are shown, he is demonstrated to be 'top tier', but there are others that can knock him on his ass cause they love it.

So, just, the combo of 'no stakes', 'other characters make fun the MC', and 'MC fails the right amount' just make it like... pure popcorn to me.

I can just keep consuming it, and I don't fill up.

I have legitimately re read and re watched it more in one year than I have anything before

But yeah, nothing unique inside it, but somehow a massive fav.

Devil: "Hey god? Remember when we were doing the design plan, realised that torture has diminishing returns and would only work for like, 100 years per person at most?" God: "Yeah?" Devil: "And you told me not to worry about it, cause true Hell is other people, and if we simply let them interact they will inflict more psychological damage by accident than we could on purpose?" God: "Uhu? I am omniscient. Of course I remember." Devil: "It is a speech argumentitve device. I am learning it from the human that is here. Human. Singular. BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 100 PEOPLE ON EARTH, YOU GAVE THEM STUPIDLY LONG LIVES, AND HE AND I HAVE BEEN ALONE FOR 200 YEARS NOW! DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN WE PLANNED? HOW LONG THE RAMP UP WOULD TAKE UNTIL THIS PLACE WAS EFFECTIVE? I HAVE BEEN STUCK ALONE MAKING SMALL TALK SINCE THE PHYSICAL STUFF STOPPED WORKING 90 YEARS AGO! IT IS PURE TORTURE!"

God: *covering up laughter* "Would you say that it's...literally Hell for you?"

Devil: "FUCK YOU!"

God, to the Angel Gabriel: "And he wonders why I stuck him down there."

Both eggplant and walnut cause my mouth to itch/hurt.

I thought that it was just because they were acidic, turns out: mildly allergic. (as is, like half my family, they just didn't realize, or they found the tradeoff worth it)

Also, once I was taking an uber, and it was a long one, so we got to chatting: first about hot sauce, then about about spice tolerance in general.

And he mentioned that his wife's family (who was....from mexico? while his fam was pretty classically "white" when it came to spice) found it funny that he could eat habaneros, scotch bonnets, etc. but couldn't handle jalapeño at all.

I asked him to describe his reaction to Jalapeño (b/c like any reasonable person I found that story is bizarre).

And after his description I was like: "Dude sounds like you are mildly allergic to jalapeño, and the way your tongue reacts makes you way more reactive to capsaicin."

I then described how anything acidic was way worse if eaten with eggplant or walnut.

He seemed to think that it matched p.well, and was going to get it checked out.

I'm kinda curious how that went, it was an uber, so obv. we never spoke again.

I've said this here before but if there is a food that is painful for you to eat or that is spicy to you but you have never heard anyone (except possibly family members) genuinely describe it that way, then you might be ⭐~ allergic ~⭐ to it.

A Mediocre review of 'Fourth Wing' by Rebecca Yarros

I'm going to be up front: It was awful, if you loved the book and don't want to be frustrated by someone who 'doesn't get it', all the power to you, and stop reading!

My review will only aggravate you to no purpose.

Also, I will be fully spoiling the book, so fair warning.

That aside...This book was bad. It checked off every trope on the list of 'shitty generic fantasy book with smut tropes' and wasn't even well written.

But hey, why don't we delve into why it sucked?

The writing itself was poor. I could barely make through the first 10 pages, and though it was better for the majority, it is some of the worst I've ever read for the back 10-20.

Next, the setting. Your M.C. is the daughter of the general of the Dragon portion of the Army, and though she was training to be a scribe, last minute her mother forces her to attempt to become a Dragon rider which is terribly physically difficult.

Oh, also like....50%+ of dragon rider trainees die.

Why? To prove that they will be tough enough to ride dragons. Would it work just as well if at every occasion they would 'die' they just... got drummed out instead? Probably! Would that save your best and brightest for other rolls in the military? Sure! Will they do that? No! Why? BECAUSE! (like, obv. there is the in world explanation that this way only the most dedicated apply, but.... that is clearly post fact. An excuse to allow there to be stakes rather than a true reason)

Next our fearless (or rather, fearful) lead runs into her romantic interests: The law abiding dude from her youth, and the edgy, sexy son of a rebel who has a tattoo marking him as such! (all the rebels children have these marks)

Why do they have these marks, and why are so many of them in the Dragon Riding School? Because they were allowed to live only if they watched their parents die, got these marks, and entered the school, which if they survived would turn them into some of the most powerful and dangerous people in the country.

WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT ANY PART OF THAT PLAN WAS A GOOD IDEA?

But, w/e, she will stay away from this sexy bad boy because he is 'toxic' and she doesn't do 'toxic'. the implication should be that she was in a terrible relationship before, which would give some fun character building.... but nope never addressed.

Against all odds she survives to dragon selection day, dodging classmates who are attempting to kill, which is more or less fine with everyone!

And she gets selected by the mythical Feather Tail! Now, dragons are divided along to axis: Colour and Tail type. Colour gives you your standard mixes, which says certain things about the dragons temperament (how to aproach it, intelligence, etc.). Tail type says.... also something about fight type? I'll be honest I was slightly zoned out there. But like there are club tails, sword tails, etc.

Now feather tails are crazy rare, and don't do combat, so she saves it from some of her classmates who were going to kill it b/c it was so weak, and b/c of this she gets selected by a Black Dragon (one of the best ones!) and also the feather tail!

Bonding two dragons, unheard of!

(TBH, this bit I was ok with, she isn't super special or anything, the black dragon was just 'oh, you saved a weak dragon, I like you. Lets bond' and the feathertail was 'oh, you saved me. Lets bond')

Now it turns out that Feathertails aren't rare! They are just children/babies. So aren't allowed to bond (also their magic works funky, but I'll get to that later).

Why aren't the dragons open about this? Fuck if I know!

Anyway, she continues to dodge murderous colleges who think there is a chance if she dies the dragon will bond with them instead (which apparently happens? wtf?).

And because her dragon is the mate of the dragon bonded to dark and sexy, they are bonded also!

So when their dragons are fucking, they both get super horny, but dark and sexy turns her down b/c she can't really consent.

UhHuh.

Oh, and now DarkandSexy needs her to stay alive b/c there is a chance if she dies her dragon dies, if her dragon dies his dragon will die (b/c mated pair), and if his dragon dies, he dies.

Don't worry everyone, they fuck and it is awesome for everyone!

Anyway. That is the book, there is actual plot of world politics, but eh. As shitty as that was, I am sure the sequels make it less stupid then it appears from the get go.

But yeah, 1, maybe 2 redeeming features from the whole book.

(The dragon bonds overall are actually kinda interesting, it's just with relation to everything else they become dumb. Like, ok. If you are unbonded and look at a dragon the wrong way, your'e dead. Fair enough. But... that still applies once you bond? Like Dragons see the bonded of other dragons as fair play? It seems that after a month it is pretty emotionally devistating for their humans to die. Why wouldn't there be social rules about that?

Oh and.... no one invented harnesess for dragons yet. You need to stay on your dragon via thigh grip. Sure makes for decent sex acrobatics... but wtf?)

Anyway....

Cons: -The first and last parts of the book(Arguablly the most important) are *terribly* written -The 'Constant risk of death' doesn't actually make sense -Everything done with 'children of the traitors' seems designed to set up a coup in like 10 years (which... if that was by design of someone who wanted a coup in world, 10/10, but I am not reading more to find out) -The secrecy around the young dragons makes no sense (like, there is a pseudo in world explanation to do with magic, but the dragons could said 'oh they are our young. no bonding.' and skipped the bit about magic) -NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT HARNESSES? I was legit confused about that the entire book! -The 'romance' in its entirety was awful -The way dragons interact with bonded, and students interact with bonded was illogical at best

Pros: -The magic system (such as it was) was actually kinda cool -The bonding system was decent -'Why main character is so special' was actually good!

Overall.... there were about 100/450 pages I enjoyed it. So I'll give it a 4/10.

I will not pick up a book suggested by this friend ever again.

mmy thiighs n hiips rllly hurt lolllll spenndin 2 mmuch tiime wiv my llegs spread as wiide as possible while i stuuff my ass fulll oops

[pinkmoondoll9shihtzu]

People like and reblog my posts a lot but I have very little followers, is it normal?

Well, idk, I cant rly say what's /normal/ cus I Can only speak from my own perspective as a bloggar. . .But judging by the way tumblr operates, I assume yes it Is the averrage experience (?) (Anyone can feel free to chime in on that one.) Yeah Idk i'd say like 95% of ppl who interact w my posts Don't follow me Cus once stuff gets reblogged It gets further & further removed from source it gets Passed down the line, to circles of tumblr U Never even knew existed And we don't even have anything in common besides one vague image or text post

also Based on my own habits: whenever i reblog stuff I rarely check OP's blog Unless I seen them come up A buncha times, Like their name is showing up frequently Maybe then i'll take a peek but often ill just let it remain a mystery

depends what kinda stuuff ur posting but overall i see tumblr's atmosphere as something ephemeral , distant, no one is trying to hold on too anything too tight, Or lay claim to a strong presence, For a lot of ppl That's Why we use tumblr , to be part of the soupy void, And just kind of bee nothingg , float around, enjoy the sights, no attachment, that is the nature of the website i sense

To be cringe is to be free

I always felt like this but didn't know how to describe it until recently. My classmates would avoid doing stuuff that was quite fun just becouse they were scared of being judged but I didn't get it. This led to me being excluded from many groups but I eventualy found my people.

My friend group now consists of the nerdiest and cringest people I've ever met and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
