MerlinsRoundTable7mthReplied to KenTheSlayerLike a said that might be your personal preference but the general consensus with majority of fantasy (new and old) is that LOTR is a masterpiece in terms of storytelling and writing quality.

Lord of the Rings one of ,if not the, definitive high fantasy novel series. So I don't really understand what you mean when you 'even' Lord of the Rings is more engaging that this. i feel like at this point it a issue of personal preference.

it hurts....it's hurts so much.
Without awaiting Lumian's reply, Franca's lips pursed, and she continued, "Think of it as another planet or alternate dimension." - MerlinsRoundTable7mthReplied to Sk1lz3r
honestly it's not rough vocab at all a lot these world are incredibly common in most regular written works. The fact that it needs to clarified only shows how weak the vocab or the avg wn reader is.

I was more refering to the fact that he is educated in Marxist Principles. I read LOTM and I think "This is a man who has read theory."
"The Church's philanthropic foundation will cover the initial two days of treatment. The remaining expenses will be deducted once the accident insurance from the factory is settled. However, you must be prepared to bear the subsequent costs yourself. It won't be a small sum. I must caution you not to have excessive expectations of the accident insurance. From my experience, it typically takes an average of three to five years to obtain compensation. You must understand that our Intis laws tend to favor factory owners and bankers in order to protect their interests." - MerlinsRoundTable8mthReplied to Th3_Hanged_Man
Nah Intis people have no shame.
Embarrassment… Social death… Jenna understood the implication behind Franca's words. Though Jenna had her thoughts, she chose not to voice them aloud. - MerlinsRoundTable8mthCommented
Okay we can't judge Lumian. Because we read the first book, if we every transmigrated into the LOTM universe we will be instantly corrupted by the cosmos because we know too much. What Lumian has is high level knowledge for his level.
Lumian, with vast knowledge of high-end mysticism, remained unfazed by Gardner Martin's provocation. Thoughts raced through his mind, and he sneered inwardly. - MerlinsRoundTable8mthReplied to saccure01
is it the same for sexualising any woman? Women don't desire your sexual fantasy of them. At the very least vast majority of the women in the world do not wish to be sexualised but that doesn't stop men from not only passively sexualising them but also actively making advances on them. Why is the sexualisation of nuns any more disgusting than what women face on a day to day basis?
In the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, just as "Brother" was used to address men of the faith, female believers were affectionately called "Sisters." Some nuns even formed an alliance known as the Nine Sisters Association, working hand in hand with the Brotherhood Minor. - MerlinsRoundTable8mthReplied to thegreatnub
He is literally just stating facts.
"It's the National Convention and the government who have caused all of this!" - MerlinsRoundTable8mthCommented

"In this process, death is an inevitability, yet those who perish are deserving. They are either aged, feeble, unlucky, or destined to meet such a fate. Most of the blame does not lie with us. - MerlinsRoundTable8mthCommented
I always say that Cuttlefish is a hardcore communist. Such subtle but scathing critique of the bourgeois establishment.

I feel there is much more brutality in the misery in COI over LOTM. I feel it's because Klein despite all his trauma was a person who had a brighter outlook on himself but Lumain lived a life that is more cruel and unforgiving and that has left a more permanent. When Klein sees tragedy he see thing that he might be able to fix but for Lumain, it a reflection of himself staring back at him. Klein is a fool far away from home and Lumian is spends his life staring down inevitability.

police are just gangsters everywhere. Police are merely the enforcement arm of the ruling class. A tool of class oppression.
"My wife wanted to turn to the police, but they beat her to death and dumped her somewhere. I was battered and left unconscious, but I survived. I've made it till today…" - MerlinsRoundTable8mthReplied to saccure01

jeez the transphobia is actually insane.
"Not necessarily," Lumian countered, "we shouldn't make assumptions about the evil god altar using conventional logic. It's akin to me never fathoming that a man could give birth." - MerlinsRoundTable9mthReplied to Debangan
bro it's just means the old pigeon cage theatre. it's basically English.
From the additional script, Lumian deciphered that this was a classic production from the Théâtre de l'Ancienne Cage à Pigeons, occasionally revived for new runs. - MerlinsRoundTable9mthReplied to Polosh
bro there is no point arguing with these kind of people they have that typical American/Brit sense of self importance and ignorance and well as laziness.

actually might be a good idea considering the state of things. With the will of the OC weakening there is less chance of corruption and since he has a lot of corruption sealed within him then there is even less of a chance corruption. The only thing is that he has to spend more time digesting the extra characteristic and becoming a pyromaniac is a better investment to get stronger.
Ch 131 Night Fight - MerlinsRoundTable11mthReplied to Eric_Fanguy
yeah basically. If you somehow survive then your body is full of shrapnel which is a ticking time bomb.
The only trouble was the gas pipe. Its production method was not really anything special. A long iron plate was welded untill it became red hot, and was placed into the groove-type mold, and then was knocked into shape with a hammer. This was also the method of producing flintlock barrels. But the barrel also needed to be straightened afterwards, including drilling and rifling, hence it was a little more complex. - MerlinsRoundTable11mthReplied to Herr_Blitz

As Fors Wall's "The Adventurer" series gained popularity, Gehrman Sparrow impersonators cropped up across the Northern and Southern Continents. Phrases like "this is basic courtesy" and "a bestowment or a curse" spread far and wide.
