BEST CHAPTER EVER!

I love the humor from Penglong and the intensity created from Taloca and the Stormriders.

Frankly: if you don’t want to read my responses, just don’t. Go enjoy the story.

I’m not breaking any rules, or trolling anyone. I think things can be improved. Maybe they’ll get published one day. Maybe others reading will have hopes to write some day, and learn from my nitpicks. Maybe I just enjoy it. No need to get personal. Plenty of narky stuff gets written here that I just choose not to read…

Personally I think it’s extremely rude. But I’ll do as you suggest from now on.

To be fair i don’t think Jainus pointed out these mistakes for any of the reasons you think he did. But well, that’s open to interpretation.

Personally, as a non-native english speaker, i don’t mind being corrected. I guess i just take it as an opportunity to improve myself, so i don’t see it with the same perspective as you.

As @Whiskeyjack said, it’s considered very rude to go through an artist’s work with a red pen without solicitation. This is especially true in this case since those “corrections” could easily be sent privately.

Anyway, on the topic of story, this was my favorite one. I adored every scene with Penglong in it. Also, the dramatic entry of the Stryx was truly well written. I can’t wait to read more.

I kept telling Penglong to install a toilet but he wouldn’t listen. I might as well have been peeing into the wind…

“The journey continued like that for 3 more days. They would fly while the sun was up, **setting down two or three times per day, eventually finding a comfortable spot with water to rest for the night.** ”

I assumed they took enough breaks to attend to _nature business_…

Actually, Penglong is conveniently equipped with a small restroom. It is forbidden to tamper with, disable, or destroy the smoke detectors therein, however.

Except, he chooses to belittle them to his companions.

Penglong answered. “The Stryx were once birds. Their minds are small. They are violent, unpredictable creatures, prone to act on a whim, unable to be reasoned with. I give them wide berth.”

Birds are actually very intelligent creatures, Penglong should know that. Yet he chooses to attack another race based on some perceived inadequacy in their biology.

He’s a racist.

Hmmm… i think it’s weird to use real world standards for fantasy content that is not focused on any kind of social discussion specially because it regards **fictional beings** … For all we know the Stryxes, and many other races in Krystara, can be really labeled as one thing or another with some few exceptions:

Dwarves are greedy, Gnolls and Tauros need to be reworked, Undeads are essentially evil, Urska are temperamental, Orcs are brutes and so on…

Heck… For all we know there are very few beings that could be dumber or more reckless than our hero, Visk and Tau are solid contenders, so the standards for intelligence must be pretty low if they are an example of heroics and such… 😅

Anyway, just don’t overthink things like this, it’ll only spoil your enjoyment.

Hmmm… Not sure I agree with just saying it’s Fantasy therefore ok. That is how attitudes are developed in the first place.

Maybe, I enjoy imagining Penglong as a pompous stuck up racist.

Well, we’ll agree to disagree then, because this statement is too similar and simplistic as “Videogames makes people violent.”

But well, no need to further discuss this as it’s also sort of useless to defend a fictional character.

But you are not wrong in thinking about how dragons and other “higher existences” tend to disregard the “minor races” in fantastic genres. As a thought exercise that’s sort of interesting psycologic aspect of being able to live for far too long than those “minor races”.

We humans also have some of this, generally speaking, we don’t feel sad by the fact that animals have a shorter life compared to us, unless they are a pet which we cared for, we accept this aspect of nature. So a Giant, Dragon or Vampire, just to name a few creatures who would live longer, would also regard Humans, Stryxes, Orcs, and others by the same standards, as lesser beings unless they would invest a portion of their time to know some particular and interesting individuals.

You could consider how interesting this game’s genre is developed in a sense that most races have some exceptional/different individuals that don’t fall to their racial standards, notoriously some of the Epics who join our hero. 🙂
