    WIP A Practical Guide to Evil by Erraticerrata - T - Original Fantasy

    Honestly I just forgot about it after the last book and never picked it up again after Errata's break. We've gone back to guide being genuinely good I take it?

    WIP A Practical Guide to Evil by Erraticerrata - T - Original Fantasy

    Every time Cat is out of the picture I find to lead to some of the greatest moments for this series. Seeing Vivienne nail a scourge to the ground, insult it for being terrible at something she mastered as a teen, and then burn its head off was magical. Probably right up there moment was as her stealing the sun from the summer princess. Overall, I'm really liking this book. It feels like its returning back to the roots that made me love Guide in the first place. Its losing some of the over...

    WIP A Practical Guide to Evil by Erraticerrata - T - Original Fantasy

    I'm honestly hoping that we get a reveal that the bard is 100% competent while sober. She's just been on a nonstop bender for the last century. All those moments of her plans working because she understands "stories" better is where she's hungover but in between drinks. All the plans that crash and burn are when she's falling off the horse drunk. Tell me having the ancient entity pulling all the strings revealed to just be erratas version of Barney Gumble wouldn't be hilarious.

    And once again I find the side stories to be far more interesting to follow than Cat's merry adventure. While not the best of the interludes, the political shenanigans of a coup against Hasenbach is proving fun to follow.

    Seriously though, how does he not get a name for that. Oh hi there Vivienne, you stole a bunch from nobles who you hate? Have a name. William, you hate Praes and wanted revenge against them and pledged yourself to a choir? Have a name. If the dude who rode a horse off a cliff to stab an undead dragon in the face and hold the line against the undead doesnt get a name, I will call bullshit.

    I mean, its unexpected but it also fits. The Dead king is aware of pilgrims resurrection trick so of course he would act to remove it. This shard of his consciousness is also kinda pissed at Cat so of course he'll be vindictive and force a lose lose situation for her. I'm more interested in the fact that the way the dead king works is by splintering his will through his soul. Might explain how he's survived centuries of the bard and heroes trying to end him.

    You know, on one hand I'm really happy with how this arc has gone and how Cat has become a more interesting character to follow again. On the other hand we've just traded one obtuse power set that seems capable of dealing with most problems she comes across for a new set that we dont know the rules for. All the tricks of night we've seen so far is kinda pushing it; but stealing revenants from the dead king? Now you're just making shit up as you go along.

    Give Errata credit they've definitely pulled this story up by its bootstraps to something genuinely enjoyable. Tyrant continues to be a crowd favorite I imagine.

    I love every single chapter about procerans holding back a tide of undead with a God damn passion. Every time we see a more mundane perspective of the dead kings advance I just want to let Cat fall into the background. Errata can write a story about an eldritch horde held back by a kingdom with nothing more than steel and unflinching defiance wonderfully.

    Wait. Question time. Are we 100% certain Akua is bound to Winter? Because if I'm not mistaken she only stole a part of winter and is actually bound to Cat's cloak of Woe.

    I actually dont mind ranger in that sense as we have a hero with almost a similar theme. The Mirror Knight's entire shtick was that with every dawn his body gets stronger in every aspect. Saint even stated that given another year or two eith his ability he would be her level and then go beyond it. This will keep going until he drops dead. Ranger works on a similar concept except instead of a gradual climb she jumps in spurts during combat. Both of their growth paths are timeline based, we...

    I have only one problem with that thought. We didn't see a top tier Drow. We saw a mid tier one that put into perspective just how much of a garbage tier the previous Drow were. Beating the dead horse but this was the boss of the lowest rung sigil in the city. The city which is on the edge of the territory of the actually scary folks.

    I actually feel this is where the story might get itself out of its slump. Showing the decay of the drow from being a decently large empire down to a pack of squabbling tribes fighting over the ruins of their last holdouts. The Sve for all we know could be another entity on the level of the Dead King interest wise, something that has such a fundamentally different viewpoint and goals of it own that Cat will have to contend with. Those two things could at least give me a reason to get...

    The author needs an editor to run ideas like this by. The last two arcs have been a trial of poor story decisions to get through. My only thoughts on this is that Cat is trying to pull her own version of Black's stunt with the orcs. God I hope I'm wrong and there is something else driving this stupidity.

    Hell, its technically even worse thinking than that because the drow have been contained at this point. If by some chance the drow aren't a bunch of useless critters, there is still the fact that bringing them back into Calernia at large may be the worst decision here. You really want to drop a bunch of slavers into the clusterfuck that is Callow or Procer right now? This just seems like your house is on fire and you have decided to fight the fire with fire. Except that now your fire is...

    Huh, drow level up by devouring the essence of their own people. Neat. Almost like a self contained version of the chain of hunger just without any idea at all what the upper limits are. Still begs the question of how the hell they still exist? Trapped on all sides like they are their population should have collapsed. Missing something I'm guessing.

    Completely agree with you there. This entire plan has been a mess from the start and not worrying about the empress herself seems foolish. Aspect of Malicia's maybe? She is the scheming dread empress of Praes, wouldn't surprise me if she had an aspect that made you underestimate her. Though that would feel like terrible writing. Maybe Cat just doesn't have a high opinion of Malicia or her defenses? After all, Cat hasn't ever seen her outside the tower or in a situation where she doesn't...

    That artifact is what ties the threefold reflection of the palace together. If they had captured it they could have plotted a direct route to Malicia, the optimal ending. But as long as the artifact was destroyed then the three overlapping spaces would collapse in on each other. Either way they technically achieved a win condition as they can now find Malicia. This isn't a Cat plan. This is an Akua plan with multiple win conditions like we saw at First Liesse.

    With some luck the most recent chapters will finally get rid of the last notions she is mortal with mortal limits. I understand self restraint and denying her powers are just as much a part of her narrative as mouthing off but still. Time to start using her brain again and find the limits of her powers. I'm getting tired of watching a self imposed underdog story.

    Think it has to do with rattling behaviour. I'm flipping back and forth between them being an ork WAAGH or a race needing to thin their population. Procer probably deals mostly with the regular ratlings which are smaller than humans with the occasional ancient one when they mean business. The horned lords are essentially your vasto lords going with the bleach analogy who have reached their pinnacle and mostly dont care anymore. Also, this is the shadow of a Named Horned Lord which is an...

    The only thing I can think of is that the dead king actually wants Cat to meet Malicia. Skein did as ordered, passed the info of the defences to thief. Thief then tells the woe who begin to plan around all the defences in place while knowing they're dealing with an Oracle. They then wipe their memories but follow the plans they created with the end goal of moving malicia out of the palace so that Hakram and Archer can kill or capture her. Does the Dead king want to fully break the...
