[EN] Lostbelt 6: Avalon le Fae: The Moment a Star is Born

I also want to point out, because there's only so much insulting my intelligence I can take, that all but one of your "blatant hints" and "irrefutable evidence" are outside the game or in content that's months down the line. So tell me again how obvious it is and how stupid I must be to have missed it, please.

He says, conveniently ignoring how it's already been pointed out the story itself spells it out for you.

Honestly, while it's not something you might immediately realize (I say because it's not something I thought about when I first went through the story, but only caught after when going over scenes again), it is really obvious once it's been pointed out, and frankly I'm almost ashamed at how at the end of all this you not only don't see that (you refuse to see that, actually), but more importantly think that among everyone who read this story, from NA to JP, you're the only one who sees through the bogus and realizes "that's not the case" and everyone must be collectively just making stuff up. Like come on, dude.

He already said to drop it.

Absolutely "fascinating" experience (waste of time), anyway there's one point I've been kind of curious about. I was actually surprised by how little of an explanation we got on Lostbelt Uther. He doesn't get much info both in and out of the game, I was also a bit surprised that from lostbelt went with the interpretation that Morgan requited his feelings when in the chapter itself she seemed quick to dismiss the possibility that he could like her (though Morgan does contradict herself sometimes but, once again, not enough info)

[TheDennyGuy]

Uther was just a human that managed to stand out as a fighter and leader and eventually was decided he should marry Mab and become a Human King as a form of symbol that humans and faeries were equal, then he got poisoned by Aurora and died which broke Morgan. She did love Uther but was hated by the fae so her becoming queen wouldn't serve as a symbol of Union.

Oh no I got all of that. We do kind of know what happens around him but I guess I expected more of his actual personality. Even Wryneck got more of something in Nasu's little summary post about him

[OnesFleetingGlory]

Wryneck is special that he originally was intended to have his own arc. Uther on the other hand, was probably not meant to be shown much beyond leading the Round Table and the catalyst for Morgan's despair.

On another note, seeing that LB Percival and Gareth are looking exactly like their PHH selves, I think Uther is also the same. And considering his shadow's boss fight, he looked like Arthur. Probably a case of recycled model since Morgan has no lines for Arthur.

Also, I think it might be hard for Aesc to see Uther as romantic interest, since she might see him more as her family with PHH Morgan's knowledge.

[Noa]

The From Lostbelt manga also just portrays Uther as Arthur but I'm sure that's because the artist didn't have anything else to go off of. While if we ever see actual art of PHH Vortigern or Ector I expect them to look like the LB ones, I don't think that will be true for PHH Uther.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

Welp, I stand corrected for the romantic interest bit.

[Gehennahem]

What a way to say "I lack analytical skills and it's the author's fault I didn't get it"

It's honestly funny to me how many times I see this in so many complaints about various series and stories...
And then when called out, people then get mad at you for daring to tell them that they lack the capability to actually read between the lines and other such stuff.

EDIT: Ah, they actually made a Chapter based on Morgan's side of things from LB6? I thought it was just fan manga...

[Rafflesiac]

Merlin teaching through dreams comes from Garden of Avalon, right? In Kay's story.

[TetsuoS2]

Also, I think it might be hard for Aesc to see Uther as romantic interest, since she might see him more as her family with PHH Morgan's knowledge.

I thought there was a specific line that clues in that she loved Uther, and the fight in the ruins with their shadows as another clue.

From lostbelt falls under dubiously canon. The mangaka gets approval from the writers but it's ultimately just their own interpretations of certain stuff

[dualblade]

Oberon chapter was apparently spot-on perfect first try though. Honestly unless something actually comes up in a "canon" source going against particular parts I'm taking them as being valid.

That one was super implied and almost outright stated, especially since its his death that finally breaks her. She was literally outraged to the point of finally saying 'fuck these faeries and their stupid shit'.

[TetsuoS2]

Man I can't imagine doing what she did for 3600 years.

Castoria already almost broke in 16.

[OnesFleetingGlory]

To be fair, Aesc got several advantages over Castoria before starting up.

-Unlike fairies in Tintagel, the Rain clan cared and treated her kindly
-She got the memories of her alternate, grown-up self that strengthened her willpower and mentality, as well as
-Massive knowledge of her PHH self's magecraft that boosted her fighting strength

[mami-kouga]

To be fair, she'd already said prior that if this last pilgrimage was a bust she was gonna lose it

Almost like telling people they can't read is an insult, or something.

I have no desire to continue yesterday's thread, but if you continue shitflinging I will be happy to oblige.

Canon or not, From Lostbelt is definitely a great read.

[Oz1337]

Once LB6 mats are released next month, you'll have official confirmation by Nasu that it was Oberon. That said, I'm not sure why there's any doubt abou this, even Guda points this out in the Valentine scene when Oberon pretends he wasn't the one.

[mami-kouga]

I thought we already established that bothering with him on this matter is a waste of time, let's move on before this becomes something mods have to intervene on
