worst shit ever. DW might have good things for some, but one thing it cannot do is hack itself into a Martial Arts game.
It hasnt even PVP rules beyond "gm says what happens".

The more I read into the system, the more I realized it highlighted all the things wrong with the setting. It turned me from being on the fence on the comic to just outright disliking it.

Expand please

Not him, but the setting is just cool stuff taken out of its context and mashed together.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing to do, NGE famously did the same thing to great success, but NGE had some substance under all the imagery, K6BD is just nother ashallow hero’s journey.

The hero's journey is meant to be a bit bland, honestly. What's interesting is everything happening around her.

The setting is basically Sigil but cooler, and focused around a sick Gnosticism/Hinduism/Buddhism mix with interesting backstory and that deep, dank lore that makes you want to dive in deeper.

I personally enjoy that there are a bunch of different ways to be aware of the setting; all sorts of shit is added in alt-text and the blurbs below the strips, but the author makes sure the really important shit is there for readers who just jive with the comic and don't want to bother with digging into the rest of it.

Are you the guy who got this comic accused of being shilled here in the past? Because you sound like a guy who's desperately trying to shill and not doing a particularly good job at it.

I might be a bit old fashioned, but setting’s purpose is to carry the story, not otherwise.

Not him but I was in those threads. There was always one(probably the same) autistic faggot who screamed shill and tried to spam all these threads.
So at least both sides are bad as usual

>>53274550
No, that wasn't me. I like it a lot, but will certainly admit that points of view like >>53274552 are valid. In this particular instance I think the setting is neat enough to make up for it.

I'll also admit that the art caught me in a way that helped me admire the setting. I wouldn't have been quite so interested if I didn't think it looked so dope.

I think the main issue was just the guy who kept making several threads every time there was an update. It made what was a harmless comic a controversial issue because it was really easy for people to call him out as a shill, especially with the really awkward praise he tried to heap on the comic. But, what really was bizarre was how every criticism was somehow actually a feature to him.

>The hero's journey is meant to be a bit bland, honestly.

Stuff that sounded like this. Like, what? If the main story is bland, that's kind of a big issue.
