Amazing chapter, hopefully they get back to the village soon

2025-11-24 20:46:55 +0000 UTCI see it as radiation, like say chernobyl is the heart of the radioactive zone, then you have the forest around chernobyl until it spawns back into civilization. Though I do agree a world map would be nice at some point.

2025-04-29 01:17:59 +0000 UTCHey great chapter! If you are looking for someone to create an in detail an high quality map I would be willing to do so! I have access to a program called inkarnet and more importantly I have well over 50 hours in its program. If you are interested in examples shoot me a message.

2025-04-28 23:52:34 +0000 UTCI eventually would like to see the whole world, or more. To be honest, I think "the heart" of the forest is in a weird spot , so I'd like to know more about it's geography, because it seems like there should be more known about it, with the ocean being there. Unless "there be dragons". Because this should have been a port, again, it's so close to the ocean. Im interested to see if that has to do with the ocean mana in the mountain I do wonder why the heart is so "close" and not deeper in, in comparison to the rest of the map. I'm imagining a sprawling civilization that honestly should have encompassed the are Alliyahs village is on. You probably did account for that, but it makes me want more.

2025-04-28 18:09:05 +0000 UTCSo, wondering about the map. First, I feel like east and west also shifted position. I feel like I recall Drey being drawn to the west, while here it's likely to the east. That's an aside, though. That map was rather zoomed in on the fort and the little mountain chain in the middle of the area, this is much more zoomed out. If the whole area to the south and east is mostly Olebert kingdom, it'd explain their confidence they can kick out Scholl. It's a large and likely densely populated area, they just need some time to group an actual army. Until they're ready to take it back, why not lend/lease that tiny unproductive corner of the kingdom to a desperate neighbor and make some profit on it while they're at it.

2025-04-28 15:49:18 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapteATM. > "It's why Fort North Ridge is named as it is; it's at the north end of the passage leading to Scholl." I could have sworn it was stated when Pitz arrived at the fort that it was the northern edge of the original country whose name escapes me atm. Also the other map made the endless forest look much more endless - it was kinds just the bottom half of the map.

2025-04-27 21:54:28 +0000 UTCChapter was amazing!! I’m about to make an extract mission to get them out of the woods at this appoint though. lol. I can’t wait to see what everyone freaks out about when they get back with all the loot.

2025-04-27 21:05:49 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! I hope you have a fun vacation! Edit suggestions: Hugh, I think I finally understand how ==> Huh, I think I finally understand how not for the kind of materials I Invision my gear ==> not for the kind of materials I envision my gear “I see; it appears you took my lessons to heart.” ==> “I see. It appears you took my lessons to heart.” I watch Tabitha's lips curl a few centimeters into the faintest smile. ==> I watch Tabitha's lips curl a few millimeters into the faintest smile. thought of slaughtering a hoard of goblins ==> thought of slaughtering a horde of goblins and the hoard goes completely silent. ==> and the horde goes completely silent. care of the weaker hoard last year ==> care of the weaker horde last year *** The map is cool, but there a place name that might be modified: Magic-Dense Reigion should be Mana-Dense Region

2025-04-27 18:13:15 +0000 UTCIt is in character though. And honestly, it would be interesting.

2025-04-27 17:11:03 +0000 UTCI started reading this story when the forest arc was beginning, but this incredible part of the story finally ends.

2025-04-27 14:47:27 +0000 UTCSeems pretty arrogant of Aliyah. She won't be around if the Goblins attack her village again. These are the same goblins that were going to murder them earlier and probably have done to other people. I totally get her nonviolent ethos and streak. This just felt like the wrong application of it, and to quite an egregious extent that makes little sense with her as a character thus far. This isn't a random monster in the wilds, it's the monsters that invaded her village and killed people she knows, it's the monsters that tried to kill them earlier and nearly succeeded. I can get her going out of her way to not not attack wayward monsters. But in this one case, it feels very odd. So much so that I commented. Anyway, it's good to see this fic back and I'm glad you're doing better. Hope things continue to improve, and wishing all a happy April and a good start to the spring season.

2025-04-27 13:38:15 +0000 UTCI just noticed that; thanks for pointing it out.

2025-04-27 11:03:12 +0000 UTCYou know looking at leveling from a diminishing returns from time invested perspective the power of someone who achieved a high level solely from skill leveling will be far more dangerous then most higher level murder hobos

2025-04-27 10:29:42 +0000 UTCGood job on the map. You have really improved and it now looks much cleaner. What software are you using to design it on, I have used inkscape before as it's quite simple, but another comment suggests Inkarnate, which looks promising.

2025-04-27 08:52:09 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter. It felt really smooth and was a nice clean finish to the forest arc. I had forgotten about the Goblin Tribe, but I like how you use them to loop things around in the end. A good ending, the lack of violence works well and is definitely in character.

2025-04-27 08:43:22 +0000 UTCThe chapter numbering system is a real piece of work :D 122.3 then 123.4 and then 132.5 What's next, 142.6?
Roukanken
2025-04-27 07:39:42 +0000 UTCTftc. Regarding the map you might want to give something like inkarnate a go. There are plenty of free map making tools around that RPG game masters use to build up a world or region map in short order. Takes minutes and looks a load better than what you made in paint. https://inkarnate.com/

2025-04-27 07:12:48 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! Also, chapter needs to be 123.5 (2 and 3 (which it needs to be 2) number was switch)

2025-04-27 05:21:53 +0000 UTCThanks for the chap, looking forward to the next and them getting home or encountering pacore on their way back

2025-04-27 05:20:24 +0000 UTC---- the thought of slaughtering a hoard of goblins ---- It is a horde of goblins, and a hoard of gold. The reverse is in one case silly, and the other tragic. I feel sorry for the horde of orcs trapped in the dragons hoard :p Edit to add: Also, the leader was originally described as an "Archgoblin" or something like that when first encountered, being the next step up form horned.

2025-04-27 05:12:05 +0000 UTCNice decision to deescalate and plan for the future with the goblins! Having another fight after the serpent would be kinda lackluster in comparison. Also remember, zombies come in hordes, treasure comes in hoards
heh
