Early Access: STORMWEAVER 3 - Chapter 19v2 + 20v2 + 21 + THE STORY SO FAR 1-21 [ROUGH]
Added 2024-08-02 15:01:01 +0000 UTCIf you're someone who doesn't usually go back to read v2s, I would highly recommend making an exception for the 19 and 20 v2s this week. There's a lot more content in 19, and Dice's personality had a major rework in 20.
Regardless, though... Enjoy!
*********
A FEW RULES & REMINDERS:
Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread below! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!

Your killing it my friend, not usually one for patreon but after reading the first two for the third time i just had to stop by. Keep up the amazing work, your books genuinely bring me joy.

2024-08-26 02:30:36 +0000 UTCIm the same. I do not even know how mNy tomes I have re-listened to these books and I have re-read every early released chapter at least three times now! Bryce has us addicted, but I think he is aware of this! So glad a friend told me I had to check these books out!

2024-08-21 22:31:38 +0000 UTCI know what you are saying, when listening to the books its tough to figure out how it would be spelled. We understand though!

2024-08-21 22:28:24 +0000 UTCBryce sir I am loving the hell out off every chapter so far honestly I straight up have just loved this series since the first prolouge of the first book I am a truck driver so the easiest way for me to enjoy it is through the audio book and you deff picked a great Narator for it I am excited for when this one comes out I have listened to the first 2 multiple times and more since you started working on 3.

2024-08-13 14:32:32 +0000 UTCWait, wait wait.... Viv said, "I... We got a user unique ability." Who is we? Is there even more to this link thing than we realize?

2024-08-11 06:51:39 +0000 UTCIn a similar vein, I am looking forward to seeing Celeste‘s reaction to the fact that Ray is a Comida air! :-) Sorry for the bad spellings, listening to this stuff via speech, synthesizer and I don’t have my braille display at hand to check spellings. Lol.
Tim Kilgore
2024-08-11 03:40:32 +0000 UTCGreat stuff! Love the additional detail in chapters 19 & 20, and was great seeing Viv again in 21. Rei (and the Mauler) will be so happy she is back!
Lorenz
2024-08-07 04:56:10 +0000 UTCYa I cannot wait to see what kind of crazy story the mind has cooked up to protect Dent. Im loving the book this way but the way he l aves cliffhangers at the end of every chapter is pure torture!!!!!! I swear he loves making is suffer begging for more 😂😂😂
Bill Hilliard
2024-08-07 00:30:04 +0000 UTCAgreed! I cannot wait to see what her character is all about. Also cant wait to see Wards mom and dad lose it when they find out they are being cut off for being such losers and lying about Ward to his dad (Well Wards grandfather). This book is bringing SO many unanswered questions to close it is amazing!
Bill Hilliard
2024-08-07 00:25:22 +0000 UTCI love where this is going with Viv, so curious how much the mind is going to tell her about what is truly going on and if she will be able to talk to the mind from now on like Dent. I also love the training, how much Arias brother is enjoying kicking Wards butt and how fast Von Bor caught on to Ward having to take a serious beating to grow faster. It is funny how they seem to be so shocked and impressed by the beatings he is willing to take to grow (as well as how much Dent is protective yet enjoying Von Bors excellent smartass attitude! This book is so amazing so far!!! Have fun Bryce, its well deserved time to enjoy! Just dont take too long or you are going to make me need anxiety meds waiting for the next chapter damn it! 😂😂
Bill Hilliard
2024-08-07 00:22:47 +0000 UTCIs it just me or is there a wizard behind the curtain vibe from the MIND. The way it gave permission for Viv but wiped the paper trail. Seems similar to the trail being invisible when Rei was attacked both times. Then again, Rei did agree to be a Guinea pig
Candida Hudson
2024-08-05 23:44:53 +0000 UTCNah, most likely just professional interest. She just wants to work with the best possible material.
Rasmus Salling
2024-08-05 05:52:20 +0000 UTCJust for my own clarity are the V2s in the story so far?
scott hank
2024-08-04 23:35:39 +0000 UTCReally love where this is heading. To get the most out of the trainers isn’t Rei going to have to spill the beans on his S growth to them? Seems like the Ivory Shield already knows.
Nz
2024-08-04 21:55:08 +0000 UTCYeah, with the whole going a 180 in her reaction on the call with Jasper and saying if your prince is involved, I'm in. There is definitely something there and family makes the most sense to me
Ray S.
2024-08-03 20:21:02 +0000 UTCDon't know why, but the whole MIND/Viv interaction gives G-Man/Freeman vibes. Rise and shine Ms. Arada... rise... and shine.

2024-08-03 07:31:03 +0000 UTCDude. Excellent edit. I loved the 1st version…then you doubled the creamy goodness. These 3 chapters were amazing…now…let’s see Rei’s sissy poo in the next 😂
Jason Bradford
2024-08-03 05:08:51 +0000 UTCWhat title?
Sam
2024-08-03 04:23:15 +0000 UTCGreat V2s. I really liked the change to Dice. She is exactly the mentor/big sister/whatever figure Viv needs. She has been in that same spot of chasing an uncatchable friend when it comes to cad rank.
Nahar
2024-08-03 03:32:53 +0000 UTCIn one of the pre chapter quotes it gave Viv’s arena name. I can’t recall offhand but I endwalker has to be where that persona starts ETA: It took a hot min but it’s -Viviana “Witchwalker” Arada So the question is what would give one the title of witch in this time
Maria Klein
2024-08-03 02:40:42 +0000 UTCHoly shitballs Batman! 🤯 I'm still loving the and then Valera Dent laughed. Lmao I start laughing when I read that. Great rewrites, it fleshes everything out much better and the second battle with von Bor as the reason he went to B1 is fantastic and funny that the all got knocked the fuck out. Lmao about Jetway using Catchers hand to do the stop hitting yourself thing is hilarious. Adding Lennon is going to be sooo Awesome! Then we have the Pov of Viv and the MIND that is insane! Lol on the stretching the neck to be intimidating about how they need to get their stories straight so that Dent doesn't get court martialed. Fantabulous all around! Absolutely in love with this series. 💜
Kirivina
2024-08-03 01:52:05 +0000 UTCLoved this re-write. It addressed all my concerns about Rei jumping to B1 and is much more believable. Improved relationship between Chris and Dice (they aren't keeping secrets from each other) and I loved the chapter between Viv and MIND. Maybe we'll learn more about the shards "soon". Also torn now. I want Viv to wake up and rejoin Firesong but I also want Chris to have a chance to work with them more. Maybe working with them a little will be enough to encourage Kamiya to offer him a sponsorship so he can continue to work with them in the future.
Sam
2024-08-03 00:44:25 +0000 UTCI totally agree with your comments on the Viv & Mind chapter. LOVED it!
ABTelford
2024-08-02 23:21:31 +0000 UTCI enjoyed both versions, but I do think this one works a bit better. I like the way that they all passed out badly after a five minute session with the Ivory Shield. However, I think the best chapter is the one involving Viv. The way you described the MIND's first foray into a persons occipital lobe, how her heartbeat pulsed in the ocean around her, and how the MIND is conducting a little subterfuge. For such a short chapter, it is as potent as the ones preceding it. Enjoy WorldCon, Bryce. I'm sure it will be amazing :)
Zac
2024-08-02 23:14:34 +0000 UTCLove the rewrites and chapter 21. You make so easy to see dent wheezing out.. Lennon.. they mean Lennon.. who.. the lasher

2024-08-02 22:43:29 +0000 UTCNow you've opened a new van of worms... Didn't even oocur to me before and now I'm scanning EVERYTHING for hints
Christian Klein
2024-08-02 22:25:46 +0000 UTCIt could do something like move her a second or two quasi backwards in time. So she could be fighting someone, take a hit, pop the ability and continue the fight. She'd change position too. With her duelist style, imagine her trying to get around a phalanxes shield or through a lancers long reach, if she could instantly move backwards along the path she'd taken she could appear behind them or to their side with very little warning.
Machina Ex Deo
2024-08-02 21:01:31 +0000 UTCSo what you’re saying is it could be like a tactical nuke from the original MW2 and just take out everyone?😍😍😍
RickVaughn14
2024-08-02 20:09:48 +0000 UTCPoor Kalus….can we get a good eulogy to mark his time in this book since Aria is going to leave him in pieces?😂 LOVED that rewrite. 21 feels like it needs a bit more but at the same time, it’s a great cliffhanger to sit on and 19 was longer so maybe that’s why I’m thinking that? Anyways….So you’re gonna cancel that trip and write us another chapter for next Friday right? 😉 All kidding aside, enjoy the trip, hope it’s fun!
RickVaughn14
2024-08-02 20:05:34 +0000 UTCI have Professor Vellum from the arcane ascension series stuck to her personally
Polaris
2024-08-02 19:45:59 +0000 UTCYes Viv, you’ve been stuck in a healing coma for a month. But why? Well the author hasn’t figured out every detail about your new ability or your new link yet… 🤪 Wonder if Rei gets a Shido ping that his first shard recipient is conscious and they start “brain chatting” or if CADs keep that disabled outside combat situations. My vote is still Endwalker is charged, multi use, Predator style camo until the first strike. Closer to invisible the slower she moves.
gratch42
2024-08-02 19:36:31 +0000 UTCThat chapter 19 tightening and extension so good. Viv coming out of the coma finally.
gratch42
2024-08-02 19:28:42 +0000 UTCwow... those re-writes of chapters 19 and 20 were AMAZING. Definitely can't wait to see where the conversation with Viv and the MIND goes, and to get more details on what the Shards are/do!
Christopher Generazio
2024-08-02 19:14:47 +0000 UTCIs there any chance von Bor is Rei's grandmother from his mom's side? Has there been any speculation on that anywhere? I've been wondering that since she took the job.
Ray S.
2024-08-02 18:21:53 +0000 UTCHahaha! Glad I’m not the only author who doesn’t know everything they’re doing in the story until they do it. I am much more of an amateur than you though - just jumping back into the game after my kids grown up enough to give me free time again. Enjoy your Con!
ABTelford
2024-08-02 17:53:29 +0000 UTCLoved it! The revisions are great! They really fill in some nooks and crannies that make it all better - especially the jump to B1 being over two combat sessions I think is a great improvement/idea! As for the new chapter from Vivs pov, love it! And the Mind personality is great too. Great job Mr. Author man! 😎
ABTelford
2024-08-02 17:50:12 +0000 UTCMy own brain thinks of something that's like a combination of break step, with a dose of mirage on it. Sending a mirage image while speedily moving herself in a fashion to another spot, as a major distraction. Bet I'm wrong though :D
Ridayah Ahnkhuatra
2024-08-02 17:22:52 +0000 UTCMuch better. I like these a lot.
DeathAndTaxes
2024-08-02 17:21:33 +0000 UTCA freaking amazing endpoint. That's insane how fried Viv's neuroline was and is being regrown. It makes me wonder if the MIND is going to start talking to Rei soon too about Shards. Bryce, another amazing story segment! May the con not hit you too hard! Also, is it just me, or does von Boor remind anyone else of Granny Toph from Avatar: TLoK? Cause that's a vibe I get and I am HERE for it.
Ridayah Ahnkhuatra
2024-08-02 17:20:48 +0000 UTCWhen I saw chapter 19 was still missing anything about Shido’s [True] injury notifications from chapter 18’s fight, I got sad. Then chapter 19 blew my mind, and I’m happy again!!! Glad the MIND is able to talk to Viv, and she’ll be out soon. Laying a new neuroline for a mid C-ranker I imagine is a time consuming process, since it’s had months to progress as the device grew. But hopefully she’ll be back just on light duty or something!! I miss Viv. And now I REALLY wanna know what the MIND knows about Gamela’s Shard!!!
Iron Akela
2024-08-02 17:05:12 +0000 UTCI’m betting Endwalker is like the phasing cloak from Star Trek, and it’ll allow Viv to come from literally anywhere and stick two falcions up your backside before you know she’s there :o) I definitely see her evolved blades being a matched pair of falchions, though if they were proper (and therefore 2 handed) longswords it would be cool too - “how the hell did a duelist get swords that big?!”
Iron Akela
2024-08-02 17:01:36 +0000 UTCconsidering I'M still not sure, I doubt the MIND knows haha -bryce
