So how's the story?
So how's the story?
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
>Dresden-Kun
Literally all I needed to read to motivate me to obtain alcohol and keep reading
Ehh, better than a lot of Dresden x overs I have seen. Kind of enjoy it more than Devil you Know.....although it should be important to note that GB still runs roughshod over the mechanics of the main characters host world.Originally Posted by Kirby
It's...about as horrible as you would expect. First tip off was the atmosphere breaking info dumps, not as bad as IF though. Than Harry is turned back into a teenager. So...ya...take it for what you will.
You take the badass smoking detective and you turn him into a teenager... why?
God, that seems like the start of a GB!Harry.
But Harry doesn't smoke.
So he can get a harem without it being creepy.
Except, you know, he's still an adult mentally.
So wasn't he planning on becoming a 'professional' writer at one point?
It also suffers from the fact that, like HoS and IF, nothing much actually changes. It's all little deviations that end with a different end, but you don't get the satisfaction of seeing things go off the rails.
It does have this line though...
So kudos to GB for finally having something funny in one of his fics."Pyo," the enormous man who answered the door declared, speaking in one of those artificially cute ways that some girls did. Only he was very much not a girl. He was enormous, with the kind of muscles I'd expect to find on some of Marcone's hired Vikings. Hell, he was even bigger than Hendricks had been.
And he was wearing what appeared to be a magical girl cosplay outfit.
Sailor Bubba, why, oh why, do you exist?
Edit: also fuck Lash cosplaying for no reason when we know Harry is an old school American nerd. That was annoying as fuck.

He is planning to be a professional, but his muse says otherwise (read: being indiscipline). I still like Devil You Know more than BtOG, the Harry there just felt more natural.
Frankly though, I still prefer BtOG more than Peerage Girl Quest. The title alone is repulsive, and that's not counting how the main character was a Stu OP "in-name-only" character. And it's obviously poor writing when the side character is much more interesting than the main characters. Worse still, he hasn't played MGQ 3 yet, even though that's the most awesome part in the whole story IMO (granted, I too haven't fully finished yet, reaching up to the last partial patch in reading though I have reached the Illias battle).
Sigh, one of these days he really should just make a JoJo story. Seems like his skill and aptitude is there rather than making good harem story.
Leave Araki alone!
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
He's not gonna start though unless he gets introduce to itand brainwashed to be compelled to write such a piece of literatureand bears witness to the amazingness that is Jojo and his pals
Hamburgers.
(I have a tendency of not finishing things I've started.)
I hang out alot at my own Discord server, though there isn't really much activity in there. The Art Haus Chatterbox!Accepting commissions. Do you want some art done, and do you want it done for cheap? PM me, man, and we can talk.Currently not taking any commissions, sorry!
Eh, it suffers from the staple problems of a lot of GB's Work:
1) Infodumps.
2) Incorrect understanding of Universe Mechanics
3) Unneeded Harem (cos we need that to show off that the MC is a badass, apparently).
4) Protagonist written OOC in order to play up his Grim!Dark!Edginess!
Me and kazuakisama has told him once in the forum that he should just make a JoJo story because that's seems where he's actually good at. No response though.
To me, JoJo is like the Skyrim of Mangas, its awesomeness makes all other pales in comparison.
He doesn't seem to have the imagination required to come up with fun stands tho.
Oh and…
Next time use an example that is not ridden with bugs up to the wazoo and it's not boring regardless of quality.

I can't say anything about the bugs, but the "boringness" is just about opinions.
I would have used Dark Souls if I wanted to compare a manga to a game with peerless quality, though (and I agree that is mostly my tastes, not a completely objetive opinion)
Spoiler:
I'll wait for several more chapters to decide if I like it, dislike it, don't care, or hate it with an all-consuming passion that makes me want to let the world burn.

Saw the link, tried it, and I can't get past the first 5 paragraphs. Good grief, Dresden's not this wordy in his internal monologues is he? I don't think I'll be trying more of this.
