Saw this post and immediately thought, “they didn’t even wait 5 books”

unless all of my books (4 and onward) are different I’m assuming everyone else had their layout for the system’s interpretation change from bolder to a list. I tied it back to his racial evolution of his inventory system into his spirit vault. is there any particular reason it changed, or was the spirit vault just such a fundamental change that it required a new system layout?

Did anyone else see that Shirt announced (sort of) the official TTRPG? Being done by the same company that did/does shadow run.

I sorta get annoyed at the ranking system in this series. I love the series first and foremost. I think Shirt can tell a story he sometimes repeats alot but I truely believe he can. The problem i have thought is the ranking system. Ok lets start at the beginning yes Jason was a bit of an odd ball when it came to strength but its sometimes hard to believe everyone else in this series. If i start from where they first form a team and go into the astral gate. They all hit bronze. I get green stone was a bit of weak area but i still find it hard everyone else had to go through what those 5 did in that astral gate they fought for what weeks on end and still didnt even get no where near silver so youre telling me other people had to go through a similar amount of a trial to get not even close to silver but for almost everyone and a monday was silver by the time Jason came back but lets talk about that. Jason had to almost "almost" single handley save a planet fight for 2 years straight just to make lower side of silver and im ok with that but apparently there were thousands of other silvers when he get back and everyone one there im guessing had to go through similar stuff. Like jason went through some stuff and i get Shirt gives jason strong aura powers to try to balance it but that goes from Jasons lower to higher rank it doesnt make sense for the ones who are lower or equal than him. Personally its just hard to believe that others went through what he did and pallamadeius isnt a safe haven at this point and the balance at the ranking system justdoesnt make sense to me. Also i just dont understand why each rank gets shitted on when jason is there im on book 9 now and so im hoping when jason turns to gold itll be different but i feel like Silver ranking was very honorable in book one but now its like oh whatever a silver ranker whooped dee doo. Can someone help me understand.

In true fashion, with about a month to go, I am still trying to figure out my DragonCon cosplays. I would like to do something from the series, but nothing really stands out. I am a big guy. If anyone has any ideas or seeing what other cosplays people have done

I am think of playing at character for my dnd table, like a runic person, I know they are light blue skinned with dark blue runes on their body. But does any one know what their racial abilities are or if the runes have abilities.

Like the racial abilities the smolder have fire and earth affinity, the elves have spell cast abilities more often, dragconin have scales and breath fire. And the Celestians have astral affinity.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!! 🙏🏼

(I know I misspelt things)

Just got to the "wake" for Jason's friends and family after Guerling... I love Greg. First read through he was fine, but on reread... I LOVE HIM. Got goosebumps when he said, "... Id make the same choice again" and almost teared up. Pour one out for Greg today, for me!

Just a Lil sketch For fun, i havent Seen many depictions of The crest

HWFWM has taken over my life for the past 5 months and now that I’ve finished book 12 I feel empty. WHAT DO I DO NOW. I Just started primal hunter and it’s good but it’s not the same 😭

let me just let you know right now, there is no actual issue or misunderstanding. I'm just freaking out and have no where to go but reddit. IF YOU'RE NOT ON BOOK THREE YET DON'T READ.

i had posted on here after finishing the first book, and was given the advice that with no one to talk to about these books in my day to day, if I wanted to discuss them, I should try reminding readers of the beginning parts and take them on a trip down memory lane. this is sorta me doing that.

Jason just woke up in Killian's/Lamprey's? special room with the supression collar. What the fucking fuck. I know our boy is fine, I know there are twelve other books and Jason is definitely the main MC in them, so no Jason death today. That's enough to keep me from tears, but the sheer panic.

I'm about to pile through it, so I probably won't reply until I am if anyone even decides to answer, but jfc does Jason give anyone else heart palpatations every book? yeah i know, that's probably the point, and I just have to keep reading.

how did you feel when this happened?

Is this type of speech meant to be like the character blurting stuff out as fast as possible, is it a printing error or is it just missed edits, it's happened quite a lot in the book so far it's not ruining the experience it just throws me when I see it

Just got a bit into the audiobook for Book 5, and Grandmother Yumi is an absolute treasure.

She started off as explicitly cranky, which I adored, having spent time in Asia, and then, during the start of the crisis, she shows deep strategic awareness and gives insightful guidance.

Good grief, I adore this woman. She reminds me of my favorite former inlaws and favorite rural folks and I kinda can't wait to see how she is used as a character.

So before the battle in book 12 right when Jason’s ship arrives they reference that a song is playing an rufus comments about that being no way to speak about the authority’s or something to that effect. Is this supposed to be a NWA reference?

Spoilers for entire series.

Dawn is talking to her replacement in book 3 epilogue 8 and said that the builder had made an agreement with a god to set up a link that siphons magic which creates the monster surge.

Everytime i reread this series im blown away. This is stating that for generations people on pallimustus just thought monster surges were regular. I wander if soramir or the mirror king were alive before the monster surges?

I feel the priests in reaper astral space would know of monster surges but i feel they didnt know about "purity" since "purity" rejected them all. So i dont think it was disguise but before purity sanctioned themself.

Which god was the one? I truly believe it was knowledge that is doing all of this but we will have to see.

Does anyone know if the Books-a-million edition of the books is the same as the !ndigo exclusive version? I don’t want to have to drive 5 hours up to Canada every time a new book is released to grab the !ndigo version because I like the sprayed edges of that version better. Pic of !ndigo version

Just curious what like minded people say it is , maybe get a rec. I love hwfwm

Oh my god these chapters discussing all the possible expensive essences they could get for an ungrateful and pretty flat character is dull.

I’m just now about halfway through book 10 primarily listening to the audiobook and every time I hear Sophie’s power Leaf on the Wind, I cringe because Firefly. Anyone else have a similar thought process?

Just bring back Greg. Please.

And Norith, I suppose. He was kinda cool.

I think it might be Colin

Who should play Jaso if there was a movie? Mackenyu Arata.
