2026-03-07 08:29:24 +0000 UTCGreat writing pulls a plethora of emotions and the characters gain life, and a kind of spiritual reality. Well done! When a character drivin story has side characters that pull on our empathy its pretty cool. Very few stories do I reread multiple times. But this has been and hopefully will continue to be one of my favorite. Along with The Dresden files. And Wheel of time. And a handful of others. Thank you for sharing your brilliant imagination with us. Write faster. And THANK YOU for writing so fast! Love it 😀

2026-02-01 10:24:39 +0000 UTCNat hasn’t historically been a reliable narrator and I’m usually ok with that, but it felt pretty bad here. He glossed over both “dangerous” enemies and terrain. He also didn’t describe the groups condition while handling these or what they might’ve thought the huge structure was(they really didn’t have any guesses after how long they’ve been on the floor?). All in all it was surprising to come back to the group completely spent and a companion dead. I apologize for not appearing appreciative of the near daily chapters, but this bothers me.

2026-02-01 09:51:12 +0000 UTCYeah, i think that was a response to my comment about speculating it was going to be Maya. My counter was that sometimes the lesson is that life isnt fair and shit happens. Also i know this is a story, but there doesnt need to be a lesson for someone to be taken from you.

2026-01-31 18:27:22 +0000 UTCYeah Nat seems so absurdly ahead of the curb. We haven't seen everything everyone can do but his build is op.

2026-01-31 11:41:08 +0000 UTC5 QUESTION MARKS!?‽ 🫨😯

2026-01-31 09:31:48 +0000 UTCSo this chapter is a great example of how I don’t get how someone like tacita could even hope to keep up with him. He as incredible as he is also supported by as nearly incredible team. Combine that with her extreme social issues. Just my thoughts.
Hellnhavoc
2026-01-31 03:55:00 +0000 UTCNow you realize the disparity in the group's strength, and Nat hasn't even lost his left arm yet.

2026-01-30 08:56:53 +0000 UTCYo Lucas or Tom, the original Lycan, lycaeon was punished by the gods for feeding people to Zeus so maybe this guy is a physical manifestation of skippy before evolving? Srry just brainstorming

2026-01-30 05:49:06 +0000 UTCI love how the tutorial planets all show the environments that spawn rulers, this being on of the top three wtf planets

2026-01-30 05:00:22 +0000 UTCOkay that made me cry a little bit. They're so weak, it would already be a miracle if no one dies here.

RJ Barnes
2026-01-29 23:57:01 +0000 UTCAccording to google Lycan means werewolf... what on earth is he?
im_among_you
2026-01-29 23:51:49 +0000 UTCLiss did not refuse the title, she was of the pride subclass, so the only way to become one was to slay the current ruler of Pride, the strongest being in the system. She tried and failed.

Woodstock179
2026-01-29 21:39:33 +0000 UTCIf anyone is wondering 5 question marks is level 600 to 749. Which is when someone can become an absolute although I'm pretty sure it's not automatic just like champions. 6 question marks is 750 to 899 which is when one can become a ruler. 900+ no idea if there are beings beyond that, mabye pride is just before level 900 or he's beyond it and hasn't gotten another title yet. Lissandra was probably at least level 700+ mabye even in the ruler range but refused the title for some reason.

2026-01-29 20:47:24 +0000 UTCIt just wanted a hug. I’ll go watch happy ferret videos for a while.

TAMSC
2026-01-29 19:26:12 +0000 UTCThere is going to be some crazy plot armor shenanegans taking place for all of the group members to survive the next hour. A guy posted last chapter about there being no reason for any teammates to die at this point, but someone going down here would be a lesson in caution that seems to be dearly needed for the gang. Only Nat is allowed to be suicidally irresponsible.

Daniel Golding
2026-01-29 17:44:17 +0000 UTCBiscuit has far better judgement than Nat.
Daniel Golding
2026-01-29 17:42:11 +0000 UTCIt’s a velnar though, how do his descendants become wolves?
Manther
2026-01-29 17:41:51 +0000 UTCno backup healer seems like a real oversight for the team. Would be smart to get Sophie or Izzy some healing skills, to restore Lilly when needed. Nice to see more of Izzy and her perspective. Would like to see her and Noodle in a solo fight with the fragment.
Daniel Golding
2026-01-29 17:40:09 +0000 UTCPride??? Pride fight?
Nictis
2026-01-29 17:34:31 +0000 UTCOhhhhj I was wondering 🤔 lol this makes sense if it ends up being biscuits deciples ancestor.

2026-01-29 16:49:53 +0000 UTCI think he was just meaning mana but it was phrased a little off
Borbino the great
2026-01-29 16:21:06 +0000 UTCIn Biscuit we trust! I can see Lycan and Biscuit becoming instant friends and him talking about his disciple making Lycan proud.
CT
2026-01-29 16:08:57 +0000 UTCWhat is “manato” was it meant mana to fully reveal itself. Or did I miss a skill? “I let my manato fully reveal itself. In that flash, I see the enormous shadow pull back into the shadows and let me pass.”
Vhena
2026-01-29 16:08:36 +0000 UTCI mean it was caving in things chest and bathing in their organs and tried that on nat as well

2026-01-29 13:31:13 +0000 UTCPoor ferret... Biscuit was so right, when Nathaniel said to him to get rid of the Ferret he just said one word : "Friend"
Malestan
2026-01-29 12:29:24 +0000 UTCFriend...
Malestan
2026-01-29 12:24:28 +0000 UTCCrack theory: This is the ancestor of Biscuit's disciple. Class is Lycan meaning wolf. Plus, he was supposed to consume planets. Probably not, but it would be fun!

Andrii Tk
2026-01-29 11:19:58 +0000 UTCLots of powerful dudes sitting on thrones lately. Maybe this encounter will help prepare Nat for Adrians throne tower. Definitely feel bad for the ferret even if it is a fake system floor creation. The way it wanted to trade stuff is similar to Nat and Savi's mind set of quid pro quo, yet still sacrificed itself saving Izzy. Very Sweet. They should trust Biscuits judgements more. Can't wait to see how this all plays out. Funny how there's less than an hour left on the floor. So much fun! Tftc!

2026-01-29 10:56:20 +0000 UTC5 question marks, so probably level 600 at least. Question is, does he know he’s in a tutorial?

2026-01-29 10:33:35 +0000 UTCThis Lycan of Ruin gives me Conan vibe. I think that cerim was inspired by the movie: „Conan the barbarian”.
Adrian Rake
2026-01-29 10:33:05 +0000 UTCIs he the Ruler? Did we ever see the floor that Pride is on yet? But Pride is confirmed as a human right?

2026-01-29 10:16:37 +0000 UTCOf fucking course it is a BIG ASS cliffhanger on a Thursday. Goddamit, Cerim. Also I love you. But come on, at least give us a chapter or seven of them soon. It’s 2026, and your cliffhangers are improving too much.
