Cartesian: A philosophical term referring to the ‘rationalist’ views of Descartes.
Why quotation marks?
Yep. It’s bad— really reminds you of how sh*tty this app’s demographic can be huh?
Wow, I must be really tired for that kind of an error in the beginning of that comment (it’s 3 am, sorry) I meant ‘coquettish is often used to mean’
Coquettish news is fren a specific kind of subdued affectation of shyness or modesty meant to be arousing or teasing (Connotatively). So its use here is mainly to simulate a sort of sarcasm. Like saying ‘A small sum of 1,000,000 dollars’
Thank you. That is the ONLY reasonable action, and for the noble to be the FIRST person they notice? Not a guard at least?

Ehhh falls off after the plague arc in my opinion…
Amazing paragraph— WebNovels are my guilty pleasure, one I have not indulged in over a year, and just a few hours ago I read ‘The Colour Out of Space’ and ‘Rats in the Walls’ by H.P Lovecraft, and honestly this paragraph is almost comparable in quality. Really shows the potential of this author. While I have definite qualms and grievances with this novel on the whole, such as the poorly developed side characters, the author’s expansive vocabulary and these occasional paragraphs are why I’m still reading.
Ch 50… ’The loss of innocence’ 💀💀💀
Hey, quick question bud, it’s been over a year— do you find this comment cringe yet?
Since encountering this group, I have ‘heard’ the word colt more than I have in the whole rest of my life. And I was raised by gun nuts who owned several colts.
Usually I’d agree with you, but Kevlar is a real material— a modern material. It’s straw-like and fibrous, which means that it isn’t particularly unreasonable to question why it’s being said to protect against crushing.
Semi-auto pistols should generally not be pressed directly against anything— it locks them up. That’s why revolvers are used for that kind of thing.
Just saying the ‘quiet kids’ joke is actually wrong. Most school shooters aren’t really ‘quiet’ maybe a bit asocial but not always even that— for instance, the columbine shooters. They were neither.
No offense to the author, but if I wanted challenging literature rather than a digestible, easy read right now I’d be reading Nabokov or Salinger— not a WebNovel.
Yes.
Fair enough, that is one ballsy mfer
What a sentence…
Egoism is not egotism. The author here is using it correctly, Rational Egoism is a philosophical doctrine popularized by Ayn Rand (read Atlas Shrugged, it’s good), which states that what is ethical is what is in one’s best interest and is a very individualist MORAL philosophy, whereas egotism is what you probably thinking of right now.
