Looking for /tg/ approved webnovels. If not, then some good fanfiction

Try Worm. It's about a world where people get Parahuman abilities when they hit a "trigger event" which only happens in like one out of every 70,000 people and results in a mostly random but often violent superpower.

If you like Mass Effect then I'd reccomend both of these.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6049842/1/Razor-s-Edge
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9156000/1/And-the-Meek-Shall-Inherit-the-Galaxy

The first is pretty much a retelling of mass effect 2 but done better, there's two sequels about Lair of the shadorwbroker and Mass Effect 3. The second is an AU story where the quarians and humans have first contact just as the Turians come along and If I remember correctly spirals into insanity.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3147068/1/The-Black-Mesa-Incident
This is a novelisation of Half Life from Gordon Freeman's point of view. The sequels continue with Half Life 2.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8467432/1/Living-to-die
Haven't actually read this one yet but my friend keeps telling me about it. It's about a boy from a noble family of Krieg joining the Death Korps.

Fuck you, Worm is literally shit. Its all about a bullied child who gets powers so you sympathize with her the whole time even when she shoots babies. Its pointlessly dark for the point of being 'Not Comic-y/Realistic', littered with ass pulls and self-contradictions and the big twist is everyone gets powers from a SPACE WHALE WORM. Fuck this novel and everyone who likes it and FUCK WILDBOW. Tha cunt.

Webnovels: Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka.
You know how there's a thousand and one poorly translated webnovels where Blando the generic Japanese protagonist gets hit by a truck and reincarnated in a fantasy world as a level one human with some cheat skill, where he then gets all the power and all the chicks?

This isn't that webnovel. A classroom of kids is destroyed, and all 25 people there are reincarnated in the fantasy world the attack originated from. Only one of those is reincarnated as the lowest of the low, a spider.

Yeah, it's only it's only a bland fujoshi japanese protagonist reincarnated in a fantasy world as a spider which are the weakest thing ever ;_; except not really they are actually the most powerful race.

I'd say that A Practical Guide to Evil is probably up /tg/'s and maybe your alley?

https://practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com/

The idea of it is like this: There is the Dread Empire of Praes and the Kingdom of Callowan. The first is Evil and the other Good. They've been warring for centuries and for the past twenty years or so, Callowan has been occupied by Praes.
The Main Character is an orphan girl in occupied Callowan who wants to join the Legions of Terror but gets headhunted by Praes' mightiest warrior, The Black Knight to become The Squire.

I like it because it plays around with the idea of story-positions (The Squire, the Lone Swordsman, the Dread Empress) and gives metaphysical empowering and backing to them. Also, for a young adults novel, it has better than average political games.

But the real biggie is when you find out the plans of the MC's mentor, the Black Knight: To give Evil, the side that has never truly won, a single victory, to defy the Heavens themselves and to bring Callowan into the Praes fold forever by making a Callowan-Praes entitled person

I probably explained it poorly but I really do hope you guys give it a chance.

Mother of Learning is okay.

>>49664589
pretty good world building, pretty good logical progression
but I miss the chapters that were about the MC growing and changing his relationships

>>49664617

There isn't much to see from the usual fanfics, but I have a soft spot for interesting crossovers. 'm particularly fod of Jojo ones because its particular style of dialogue and style just clashes so hard with pretty much everything else.

>>49660161
> no anime

Fuck you. MTCFF ULTRA a round robin WWF fanfiction involving pretty much everything.

Anything by Twoflower/Stefane Gagne, one of the few writers to actually continue on to decent original fiction as well as the creator of several NWN modules. Bay of Pigs and Ministry of Confusion are both decent anime inspired ones that can be read with no knowledge of ranma 1/2. A Future We'd Like To See is decent original fiction, considering he wrote that in high school especially.

Damn. It's been over a decade though since I really read any fanfiction.

>>49664731
Probably. The actual story is shit but the worldbuilding is really neat, recommended.

>>49664801

Basically in 2008 instead of the economic crash we got full Revelations-style Judgement day.
It doesn't go well for the armies of Hell.
Fairly good IMO, but very HFY. Bonus points for a lot of it being written by a military analyst, so the weapons work like they should

>>49659846
Travels through Azeroth and Outland is a pretty good World of Warcraft fanfic

It's an in-universe travelogue written by a forsaken who's well-preserved enough to pass as human with a bit of makeup as he goes to all the in-game zones and explores the culture of the world

It's a bit old, so some extrapolations in it have since been made non-canon, but it's still a nice thing to read if you're interested in the setting

This is an original, finished fantasy webnovel:

>>49665930
She has nearly unkillable and can slaughter many enemy soldiers on her own, but the writer doesn't revel in it. Other officers didn't believe her being a death god, and deliberately sabotaged her position. She runs into trouble for being an unattractive young girl.

She's not very bright, has no training, and only really cares about eating. The only tactic she knows: attack their supply lines and take their food.

It's not just the Japs, we've been shitting this stuff out for years!

Except with AMERICA instead of Waifus.

Opinions on the various "The Gamer" crossovers and spinoffs? Currently reading a RWBY/The Gamer crossover and I find it entertaining.

>>49666877
I haven't found one I liked.

especially not the ones that are literally self-inserts.

>>49666877
What annoys me more than anything is that I can't find one that's FINISHED.

>>49666877
All of them take The Gamer, which is about someone who has an ability so broken in his setting it makes other people lament how unfair it is, and say "but what if we made it stronger?"

>>49659956
Worm is nice if you like one-note "AND THEN SHIT GOT WORSE" lasting several million words and resurrected villains and cloned villains and mass-produced villains and man-behind-the-man villains coming out of the woodwork forever.

It's only 1.6 million!

>>49667653
There's one called "Necessary Monsters" that seems pretty good so far, on the fourth chapter, so I've been keeping and eye on it. There's also "Faith and Wit", where an Inquisitor, a Stormtrooper, a Magos, a Ranger, and Farseer are transported to the ME verse, and it seems to update at about the same pace as "The Mission Stays the Same".

>>49667426
I do not believe so, it's probably being helpful.
>>49667754
I've read Faith and Wit, very good story. How long is necessary Monsters in terms of word count?

Wow, Worm's pretty hated here. How about that. I'm still reccing it, though. Relatable MC, interesting powers, a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat, flavored with the sentiment: 'We're fucked, but like hell we'll give up.'

>>49664870
Powerless people get powers. Women tend to be more vulnerable. Simple as that.

>>49666877
The Games we Play put me off with all the goddamn monologues. Talking to yourself is not a plot.

>>49667739
>>even when she shoots babies
>Only one, and completely justified
Let me explain further. The people who had the baby were the most powerful and disturbing group of Parahuman serial torturers/killers on the planet. The choices the protagonist had were to either A. Let the baby live and end up as another serial killer or tortured to death for amusement or tortured for all eternity in a looping time bubble. Or B. Try and fail to grab the baby and escape. Or C. Mercy kill the baby and kill the emotion controlling Parahuman behind the baby.

>>49667772
So far? About 27k for the four chapters posted.

worm is alright. twig is better.

Helen a cute, Sy a based aggravating lil shit, Evette a based waifu with her own clear weaknesses

>>49667772
More crossovers that I have read, with varying degrees of enjoyment:
Littlewhitecat's Inquisitor Carrow series,
The inquisitor by deathwing17
The Death Korps of RWBY by Doomsdayguy12345
Tide of War by TheSGC
To spread his light by Simpli
and Death Korps of Justice by Vengeful Soldier.
All the death korps stories don't fit the more 'Each kropsman has no individuality' characterisation but they are good enough stories so it can be overlooked.

>>49667873
I'll give it a go than. I find that stories below about 20k words always seem to be to short to actually get into for my liking.

>>49667852
there was a precog fortelling the end of the world, people figured it would be a trigger event (and weren't exactly wrong) and 3rd gen capes trigger easily.

I find that crossovers featuring warhammer characters in a world that isn't theirs can end up well, generally due to the reaction of the characters and the interactions with the new and usually vastly different world.

>>49667878
I'm waiting for Twig to finish before reading it.

I read Pact and it was much more boring than Worm. The magic system is too vague, and very few of the characters are likeable and relateable. IMO Rose should have been written out of the story entirely and the focus should have been on Blake/Evan/Green Eyes.

>>49666920

good, if polarizing. a bullied teen with the ability to control bugs sets out to become a superhero but runs into the reality of the establishment. constant action and escalation, very little breathing room, and a timeskip that people hate. cute waifus though

>>49661504
>Fine Structure
high-concept kinda-scifi - exponentially-appearing superheroes, forbidden sciences, and information as (manipulable) substance. It concerns the fallout of a war between higher-dimensional beings locked away on earth as a gambit by one of them. you'll probably want to read it twice because there is a Lot going on. Ra is more centralized but wasn't as fun for me, though I liked its characters more.

Am I the only person who found the retcon refreshing? Act 6 was tiresome before it.
The ending was complete and total ass, but that's because it was storyboarded 4 years before the plot was actually written, and therefore about things nobody was interested in anymore.

>>49669683
post-retcon, dialog went down the drain and vriska was the hero. I read homestuck for the dialog and vriska being a dick (and getting her commeuppance)

Dialogue had been insufferable for most of act 6. It really wasn't any worse. You probably only noticed because of the omegapause.

Vriska just prevented everything from falling apart of its own accord, and that wasn't particularly bad. There wasn't really a hero, in the end, which is a mark of pretty bad storytelling, but still.

Not gonna lie the reincarnate into fantasy world appeals to me, are there any good ones like this?

>>49664702

That fucking thing is like 99% worldbuilding and very little actual plot.

Like the connection to Madoka Magica is tenuous at best. It'd be better if it was just like an original RPG setting than a fanfiction based on miserable lesbians: the animation.

>>49670146
The archetype is called "isekai".
Most isekai is harem garbage.
Consider Overlord for being far outside the norm and heavily D&D inspired. (The generic japanese protagonist becomes a skeleton and therefore has no dick to concern himself with a harem)

He somehow learns the "Sayain Revival" skill and gets a free level every time he gets close to death, and then just gets himself down to low health. Heal 1 point, take 1 point of damage, heal 1 point, take 1 point of damage, heal 1 point, take 1 point of damage.

>>49669581
>everything post-retcon is shit.
couldn't agree more, fortunately that's less than a quarter of the comic at least

>>49668086
He learns the skill "Sayian Recovery" in place of physical endurance and proceeds to power level his physical stats to Final Transformation Frieza by the time Radik shows up.

I personally like The Gods are Bastards, a web serial by D. D. Webb. The best way to describe it is to think of a fairly traditional Tolkien-esque setting, then move 500 years into the future to a magical equivalent of the industrial revolution. The worldbuilding is awesome, especially since it takes a fairly generic fantasy world that uses a lot of worn tropes and turns it into something unique. Where else have you seen a strict matriarchal Drow society based on rational socioeconomic concerns instead of female spider bondage with a side of chainmail bikini? Seriously, I can't advertise this thing enough. Check it out!

On the topic of Isekai, there's a story that came off of /tg/ in 2012 called Stranded in Fantasy. It's told in the form of journal entries by a guy and a bunch of other random people who, to quote the summary, "get hypno-suckered into some plot-device portals that land them in a city in a world where D&D is reality." The people aren't overpowered. The story literally begins with them having no idea where they are and basically becoming beggars before having to flee. And although the do develop powers eventually, there's always a bigger fish. It also delves into the implications of bringing current technological knowledge into a medieval-level society, which most Isekai stories don't do. Overall, pretty awesome stuff.

Recommending:
A Green Sun Illuminates the Void (Exalted/Familiar of Zero)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/AGreenSunIlluminatesTheVoid

Literally any character is better than Saito, But instead of a substitute familiar, Louise fails and draws an infernal exaltation.

I cannot describe how rad this story is.

Here's one.

>>49673674
no.
here's why: Fzero and exalted are things Spacebattles shoves into fucking everything, and you tried to justify this with tvtropes.

go read something that isn't shit please

>>49673674
On the one hand, the author has done other things that are frankly incredibly well written and a blast to read.
On the other, you linked a tv tropes article and a story that is literally part 1 of ??? finished.

When it comes to reading Earthscorpions stuff, it really, really helps to have a working knowledge of the two settings he's ramming together. Makes everything much easier to read and process.

It's dead and unfinished but as a fanfic reader you're probably used to that.

Most of Worm's bullshit happens because MUH PRECOG, which is the most thinly veiled "because the author wanted it" plot device one can have.

I can respect wildbow's worldbuilding and how much effort he put into Worm, but his use of precog and shit like that to force the story along his vision is really grating. Besides that, the pacing is crap and I felt like he was trying too hard to make the capeshit equivalent to Evangelion.

go read twig. everything's a lot more O R G A N I C

it's like an entire universe of bonesaws. Main character is roughly social-only tattletale with memory problems, and the Lambs read like the Undersiders did at the very beginning: a bunch of people using shitty powers and combining them in cool ways to take people by surprise.

Sy: Neuroplasticity drug stress-test experiment. has ability to roughly reallocate stat points. a dick.
Lillian: medic. non-experiment.
Gordon: body part synthesis test. dirty fighter; all around golden boy. also an asshole.
Jamie: perfect memory project caterpillar.
Helen: cute girl, skilled at acting and unhinging her muscles and grappling people to tear them limb from limb

Mary: combat specialist
Ashton: social monster holy shit he's gonna be unstoppable when he grows up
Evette: a qt planner with no social skills. a good waifu
abby: autism
Nora/lara: communication
Duncan: a shit
whats his name everett or something. quiet dude. seems chill

I'm really interested in reading it, but I want to wait until it's done so I can binge it.

>>49674864
just go for it. it's great.
A woman named Avis will have a chapter. pay close attention to the way the Duke phrases a certain statement.

>>49674739
I don't mind the vague probability stuff because nobody really expects the numbers to mean anything (million to one shot works every time, don't tell me the odds, etc.). But Path to Victory harms the story just by existing, especially as the theoretical limitations in practice do nothing. Contessa is the worst character (and she ruins the ending too).

>>49674848
I honestly never got how the Undersiders could be considered to have 'shitty powers.' Maybe Alec seems underwhelming because he doesn't have the time/inclination to go full Hijack at the beginning but the others, Taylor included? You'd need to be willfully ignorant to think they're "weak."

Confessions of a Wayward Son, bretty gud 40K fic about a Thousand Sons turncoat.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Confessions_of_a_Wayward_Son

>>49674883
I think the whole 'weak' powers bit is mostly just PR and how everybody thinks about it.
Every power is bullshit, if you think about it hard enough and figure out a way to focus it into something. Some powers are easier to use sure, being a flying brick is infinitely more simple than being a tinker specializing in the creation of modular uses for other peoples tech. So when a power pops up that isn't obviously and immediately useful (aside from tinkers, because simple economics and force multipliers) it gets called weak.
I know I'm not alone in thinking that dozens of the characters could have been so much more, and they don't have the excuse of having had the power all their lives and so it's mundane to them. They were all regular people, who are suddenly given power, and have every reason to push and explore and exploit that power to its limit.

>>49674963
Canary, for instance, has a one-trick power; Panacea fucking squandered her amazing abilities but it was totally in character.

>>49674883
Yeah. Hijack, Imp, Taylor, Tattletale, Grue - they're all pretty strong - but compared to Lung, whose power lets him melee Endbringers, Kaiser, whose power is frankly ridiculous, Fenja/Menja, Bakuda, a gimmick tinker whose gimmick is destruction, Coil, whose Thinker power is frankly ridiculous, Vista, Panacea, Glory Girl/New Wave, Panacea, one of the ten strongest capes world-wide, Armsmaster, in tune with his shard- and this is just in Brockton Bay.

well. none of them have powers specced to direct combat, and they have to use them intelligently to strike hard and get away. it's more like that. Lambs don't do direct fights either unless they have to, preferring espionage, traps, and stuff like screaming madly about shaking boxes to distract their opponents before Helen.

>>49675072
>Canary
That she never, ever, experiments with or tests.
Sing and then give carefully planned psychological advice. Help people get over addictions. Start covering lovey dovey empathy and peace songs.
/ranton
Test it. We know it works over speakers, the boyfriend at the concert couldn't have gotten far enough through security to hear her over the sound of a crowd at a concert. Do recordings work? Can her suggestions after signing be audio spliced? Does her shard care?
Start a self-help line, a few minutes of recorded singing and then a carefully put together few sentences about quitting drinking and being a better person.
Hell just give her a loudspeaker and have her tell people to admit any serious crimes they know of. Start playing her music and suggestion that 'the slaughterhouse nine should really just kill themselves' across the city when they show up. So much fucking potential, wasted due to idiot characters and cauldrons need to follow plotarmor, er, PTV.
/rantoff

>>49675193
she totally did test on animals and stuff. she says so! right before they go see simurgh post destruction of britain.

Even Eden shards have conflict libido. Canary doesn't seem like the type to affect anyone's will; she just wants to sing.
The sound obviously won't work on mannequin, and if bonesaw implanted fake nervous systems to fuck with emotional manipulation, I doubt sound will work on any of the other s9. Maybe Manton.

>trans angels

>>49676100
There is an angel who feels slightly feminine but the order of angels has traditionally adopted a male form and male pronouns as they descend from the male half of the overgod.

There is a bit of a dispute about corruption of the order of things.

>>49676100
one trans angel.
angels are slivers of the White Flame, with the Law chiseled into them by Koss, Smith of the Gods. The Demiurges contracted them to enforce the Law in Throne, the hub of the multiverse. When their bodies of forged ash are destroyed, they return to the void to reform.

angels have NO gender at all, it's just that humans read things that aren't specifically female as male

The angels recognize male as being the appropriate non-gender terminology, hence why they call each other brother.

Starts out alright Quickly turns to complete dogshit., like >>49664490 and >>49664746 said,
I'm pretty sure you can actually pinpoint the exact second it turns to dogshit, it's somewhere around where MC starts killing her parent

The worst one of any isekai I'm pretty sure is Re:Monster.
Guy has a completely bullshit cheat power in real life and /never uses it/, gets killed basically out of nowhere from a teenage yandere, carries his cheat skill into the new fantasy world, uses it fucking constantly, and quickly loses all possibilities of sympathizing with him, or any sense of morality whatsoever.

>>49670146
You're thinking of Mushoku Tensei. It's alright at the start, kind of creepy considering he pervs on fucking everyone, and then apperently treats people like NPCs he doesn't even recognize his childhood friend
Like Kumo Desu ga, you can pinpoint the /exact/ moment it goes to shit. It's when Him having erectile dysfunction all of a sudden becomes thing, and a major plot point he thinks about often or maybe slightly earlier.

>>49683323
It's really not a big spoiler, anon.
She hints at wanting to do it from the very first chapter.
Also, the reason it's shit is it started happening like 10 chapters ago. It's been a slow process that they completely skip over her starting.

>>49683469
Well yeah, considering what's been happening I've been wanting her to kill her mother as well. It was a challenge to overcome anyway.
Granted, she is able to do what most monsters can't do, and that's build up their tolerance and level up the same way, in most regards it makes sense that she could do what other monsters couldn't especially regarding that high stat for speed. She's also gained levels in stealth, resistance, and even HP regen. I would assume that most monsters can't get to that point considering that they don't know how. But maybe I'm just sperging and not making sense, who knows?

>>49670209
>>49670146
>The generic japanese protagonist becomes a skeleton and therefore has no dick to concern himself with a harem)
but that's wrong.
He has a harem of like every fetish of minion.
Crossdressing shota/loli twin combo, succibi that only wants the bone, vampire that loves being his human chair.
The list goes on.
He just gets forcibly cockblocked/emotionblocked by his own magic/undeadness.
Also the series is less generic power fantasy and more "what the fuck, every NPC is raid boss tier, the game he played was /incredibly/ pay to win and yet generic salarymen who got bullied for their choice of race were one of the top players"

I will admit that the reason the series is so good is the thoughts of the MC.
everything about Pandora's Actor and his reaction was fantastic, I reccomend reading/watching the series for that alone.

I wouldn't say it goes to shit. Rather, there is a somewhat clumsy transition as that the series undergoes a genre shift and the story stops being about Kumo's desperate attempts at survival and triumphing against superiors and more about her being forced to manage the fate of the world to guarantee her personal freedom as all the secrets and foreshadowing from the perspective shift chapters become unveiled.

Also seeing MCs hopes that he is in typical novel get crushed over and over again is slightly fun.

I think it would have been a lot better if it didn't try to be both Cosmic Horror and Street Level, and if it stopped pretending its main character has a weak power. No, absolute perception of everything within a mile plus unlimited multitasking plus perfect control of arthropods isn't a weak power. You're just being emo because you're a support character.

Here's a pretty good Teen Titans fanfic from back in the day. It stars a dark, mysterious, edgy self insert teen wankfest type OC but the whole story is pretty damn self aware and avoids making the OC cringey. Most of the time. Mixes it up between lighthearted friendship stuff and grimderp.

Taylor isn't even support, she's just dumb like most of her audience and thinks "Can't slapbox an Endbringer/get direct writer plot intervention = weak".

This, as her first night in cape is incapacitating a guy who CAN slapbox an Endbringer with no serious prep ot attempt to seriously injure on her part and playing her hand too early. Then she proceeds to get direct author intervention anyway.

>>49684011
You have to realize something: a lot of readers want cliches. They want simple, easy to understand, black and white worlds. The vast majority of people don't read much for pleasure and when they do, it's to stroke a culture boner because they read a giant children's novel. It's why Harry Potter got so popular with adults and why nobody in fanfiction/Internet genre fiction knows what the fuck the word "brevity" means.

just fucking read twig instead already shit goddamn

seriously twig is great.

>>49685471
I wouldn't go as far as to say that she incapacitated Lung, she got a few good shots in and managed to really piss him off with the pepper spray but in the end he was still about to murder her before the Undersiders finished him off, the reason Lung actually got fucked up was because Autismmaster gave him a too strong tranquilizer without thinking about the poison he already had in his system.

But I still agree that it's bullshit how people say her power is week.

>>49685744
It's interesting, and it's good, but it's much more interesting than it is good. The fusion of this sort of middle-aged malaise and silver-age-flavored cape shenanigans is weird, and the plot meanders without ever really reaching a satisfying climax. Which I suspect was the point, but still.
If you like your novels to be novel I'd recommend it, but if you were expecting a hammy superhero comic in novel form, it is not that at all.

>>49686060
>but if you were expecting a hammy superhero comic in novel form
Oh no, I prefer my dose of that in the form of old school saturday morning cartoon shows.

Do hammy silver age type novels even exist though? I feel like nobody would bother bringing capes into book form without trying to subvert the genre in at least minor ways.

Storythread, anyone? It's a thread for /tg/-produced fan-fiction and original writing.

Okay, seriously, I know it isn't the most visited thread but there's been one every fortnight for 18 months now. Someone could have at least mentioned it.

In fact there's one up now, that's just started

and no. 103 is fucking hilarious

Seen it/posted it before, it's incredibly obvious and great that that's dervish, so I'm just kinda pissed that I can't find any good pictures of Twodee or any of the rest of the cast, especially since 2D was such a striking character for most of the storytime, it's even was the name he posts under.
i've only ever seen a gorrilaz parody pic and a picture of his matrix avatar that were admittedly pretty decent

>>49691815
Fuck's sake people, other translators picked up Kumo a long-ass time ago.
There's even a pretty good retranslation (though sometimes a bit overly localized) getting done by blastron.

>>49661481

is that it? I know there is more to the story and I've already been spoiled a bit just from looking up the title and finding the rest online, but are there no other translated chapters?

>>49692535
Does the translation ever improve? Because at least the first few chapters are unreadably bad

>>49659846

Very min maxing.

>>49693121
Yes

>>49692616
There's like 350 chapters total, a whole bunch are "side stories" and not counted as proper chapters for the total but they are integral to the story too. Start with the Blast TL then move on to Turbo and finally RaisingTheDead. RTD is caught up with the raws.

Really? I thought it was some scifi forum focused on random fanfiction.

What's with japan and china webnovel fascination with edgy bullshit?

You can't find a single webnovel that doesn't have rape, torture, and other shit like that.

>>49673863
Just finished it. Really enjoyed it, but you can tell the author wasn't too familiar with the Culture series. E.g. he only mentions the Sublime near the end, where that would have been the first possibility of the Chaos gods. Also he says in the authors notes half way through that he just read Consider Phlebas, the FIRST NOVEL IN THE SERIES.

Also he was missing and screwing up a fair bit of terminology, like calling Displacement teleportation.

Still a fun read though.

>>49693121
Read blastron's retranslation first, decide whether you're willing to handle turbo's horrible English or not and then either wait for blastron to catch up or read turbo until the switch to Raising the Dead (not as good as blastron, but still a lot more readable than turbo) and go from there.

>>49695921
I went through all of turbo, granted it hurt my head like hell when going through it, but I pieced it together through SHEER WILLPOWER

After reading blastron's version, I'm actually pretty sure it's the version being used for the manga version

>>49695520
Son, I have difficulty finding an American TV show without any rape or torture. It's an entertainment thing.

>>49696014
Blastron and the manga transl/a/tor actually know Japanese and English. Turb0 kind of sucked at both, and relied on machine translation to do most of the work. Also, Blastron has various notes about why he went with a certain choice of words (like Corruption Magic instead of Heresy Magic) but the manga guy is mostly using the same terms as Turb0.

>Re: Zero
Re Zero can go fuck itself.
I will acknowledge that the LN may be better than the anime but the MC is just fucking intolerable on the front of both personality and intelligence.
Personality:
I get that it's apparently supposed to be the point but if he's purposely supposed to be a barely tolerable piece of shit to everyone around him then why should I not feel the same? There is little to no incentive to stick around.
Intelligence:
It takes him dying horribly and repeating the same day 3 times before it occurs to him that there may be some sort of time loop involved. This child is so stupid that the background plot behind what gives him his groundhog day loops is an affront to natural selection.
Please , just, No. Don't recommend such a pile of dreck to anyone.

Guys, I have something to confess.

I read fanfiction for visual novels and I like it

The longest was over 300,000 words

>>49665893
She's built like a malnourished twig ready to topple over and die at any moment which is part of what should make her unsettling as her stomach is a bottomless pit yet she's constantly in ravenous hunger while having inhuman strength/skill with her only other motivation being single minded revenge.
She is not the type of loli you were probably imagining.

>>49697062
So instead of being a slut she's an edgy stupid twig of a kid with the "bottomless appetite" trope times 2 and a oversized (definitely useless as a weapon otherwise) she effortlessly uses due to super loli powers?

>>49694959
>>49695921
I'm the same as >>49696014. Went through all of turbo by itself, also hurt like hell, but you can parse through it.
If I had known there was a better version... shit.
I might have to read through the whole story again.
/a/ Never fucking tells you where to read things. Fuck /a/, /tg/ has always been best board of all time.

Also, give a random non-happy spider of your choice.

>>49697062

>>49665798
A. It's finished? Huh, thought it wasn't.
B. Isn't it heavily implied that she's some sort of vamp/ghoul that still doesn't get any nourishment from normal food, but still tastes it completely, and just doesn't realize?

I'm fairly certain the first couple chapters she eats parts of someone, thinks of it as beef jerky or something.
If that's not the case, feel free to continue calling it garbage.

>purposely supposed to be a barely tolerable piece of shit to everyone around him then why should I not feel the same

Oh, so this is why people are really into making their main characters the blandest people ever.

>>49697935
Nobody really knows what she is exactly, though a human she definitely is not. And no, she definitely gets nourishment from regular food, as in one of the later arcs she gets stuck in a besieged fortress and as the supplies rapidly dwindle she almost starves to death along with everyone else.

>>49674874
I have no idea what you're talking about, and I read that chapter.

>>49675723
I liked it, it was my gateway fic to the nasuverse. I didn't know how OOC Shirou was.

>>49698188
A decent human being doesn't have to be bland.

>>49683826
Autists are incapable of abstract thought, they can't write good stories

>>49697681
I get the impression that you really just want to find the worst possible interpretation of everything that you can.
>>49697935
Prettymuch, although I'm not sure "doesn't realize" is the right wording. She understands that what she did changed something about her but she doesn't seem to have connected it to the hunger since she's always been hungry. The author also writes other WNs that are in the same universe. Unfortunately the translations are lagging like hell but it feels like there is clearly more backstory behind whatever specifically changed her than we already realized.

>>49698346
What else would you call an underdeveloped kid who uses a oversized impractical weapon and has very little mental capacity beyond "kill things for food" and "eat stuff"?

>>49698377
Edgy is in the execution and not in the concept itself even if it may have commonly associated with edgy elements. When it is described as edgy it is for these elements rather than the association you are clearly trying to force with OC donut Steel nuthin personell kiddo chunni nonsense.

>>49698188
There are alternatives to a mentally retarded MC having autistic shitfits that amuse noone and blandy mc bland bland.

>>49698437
What about the needlessly gruesome combat descriptions and cannabalism? I swear sometimes in combat the kid wouldn't be out of play tipping a fedora and delivering the "nothing personal kid" line.

>>49698518
And now I suspect you're just making shit up since cannibalism is literally just chapter one and a line of the the ending as best as my memory goes.
>>49697900
/a/ has "rules" against sauce so if anyone tells you where it is then you run the risk of having some autistic mod or simply a mod that hates the subject matter instantly nuke the thread upon getting an excuse. Overlord and Kumo specifically have a mod that dislikes them atm which is why they tend to be extremely insistent that it is not an LN discussion and is about the anime/manga.
