@VX Dude's a pope in what's implied to be a theocracy; you really think he's going to deflate his ego enough to listen to people telling him a high-value non-combatant has no place anywhere within 20 miles of a battlefield?

@Tamerlane In addition to what others have said, think of Van's powers as being less over biological death and more over metaphorical death; in other words, the cessation of existence. Since nothing truly lasts forever, if something exists, it will eventually stop existing, which could be said...

@HayashidaYuki As a whole, I've felt the quality of the story has been going down for some time; I think it's because of how schizo the plot has become with regards to Cordelia. If you look at the storyline on Ryuuto's side, it's very standard reincarnation stuff, even with this newest...

@Kyto1984 To be fair, his first statement was "I want you", which can be incredibly misleading and Elma just didn't hear anything he said after that.

@Serenata Did you even read the first part of the chapter? Dude was being assaulted on the regular and was contemplating suicide (held back only by his hobby) before he was straight up murdered; if his parents were anything more than neglectful deadbeats, they'd have seen what was going on and...

@HDMI1 No, though reading back through my comment, I can see how it could be interpreted that way. My fault for posting it before I was happy with the phrasing. Plus, now that I actually think it through some more, it doesn't make as much sense as I thought it did. The basic gist of it, though...

@maelstroon It's long been a theory (practically since the beginning, in fact) that Kail is actually the demon lord he killed in his past life; with the way things are currently playing out, it kinda makes me wonder if that Kail also came back from the future to rally humanity against an even...

@Silvernius @Wyald The sword issue is honestly even simpler than y'all are making it out to be. Everyone with any knowledge on the subject acknowledges that the spear is a superior weapon of war than the sword, so why, then, did the sword get all the romanticism while the spear was, relatively...

@JavelinJoe That's true and a fair point. Though I'd offer a pair of counterpoints; first would be that clothes were made more rugged, since people were more active in wilder areas (though magic and the simple inclusion of a minor mending spell would render this one moot), while second would be...

@SilverSeagleLive Nope. It's a minor annoyance for me, too, but I can kinda get why they do it: it's an easy signal that they're out of place and it makes the main character easy to spot regardless of what's going on. Which, in a visual medium, is pretty important.

@Epicredeemer The Last of Us Part II. It was... Not as well received as the first. Among fans, anyway; a good number of people believe its revenge plot was poorly handled, which isn't all that surprising, considering they put you in control of the revenge target for like 60% of the game. Because...

@CyBerK Sorry; it wasn't intentional, but I couldn't think of a better example of why not to trust a story's ambience.

@Georg I wouldn't rely on a series' "ambience" to determine if something like NTR is possible or not, because an author can easily jump the shark when they run out of ideas; while I didn't read it myself, a fine example is what I've heard of Gal Cleaning: started out as a lighthearted series...

@Georg The only reason authors introduce past relationships in a romance series is to induce some manufactured drama because they can't think of a way to keep the story going without it; they'll then often have the person who was involved in the relationship get into some compromising, but...

@goarachnidlaser From what little I know (so take this all with a grain of salt), the way I understand it is that it's still pretty uncommon for there to be multiple PCs in a single household in Japan, so it's probably safer to have physical books that only overzealous parents would find, as...

@JibunWo > Tfw no shortstack Japanese ex-senpai wife. Fixed that for ya.

@Tamerlane I imagine sensations through the barrier would be akin to being touched while wearing a thick coat: you can't actually feel the touch, but you can feel the pressure of the touch, if that wording makes any sense. The more interesting idea to consider, though, is that, depending on...

That Lefi page is just perfect.

@Kisato That was my first thought, as well.

A shower, at its core, is just falling water, so it wouldn't be hard to store a supply of water above the shower's location and then just let gravity take its course when you opened the spigot; the ancient Greeks had them thanks to the nation's aqueducts.
