Early Access: STORMWEAVER 3 - Chapter 23 [ROUGH]
Added 2024-09-07 17:55:38 +0000 UTCOkay so this chapter is a TON of fun, but there's def gonna be a v2. I wanted a bit of a shot into an important element of the story, but I realized after I got to the end that nothing moved forward other than the exposure I wanted, so I'm gonna have to add a transition.
Also... I made mentions of some specs I obviously need to back up with a spec request š¤£
Still, lots of fun IMO, so enjoy!

2024-09-09 14:07:26 +0000 UTCA fun trip through the pages as always! As others have written itās nice having Lennon learning too. Iām sure a bunch of us were a bit bummed to discover that user uniques arenāt able to be copied so no seeing Rei get a free hit in on Lennon anytime soon.

2024-09-09 00:50:37 +0000 UTCSo B5 cognition implies around B3 or B4 rank. That's a 2-3 point jump and a 3-4 point jump over 2 weeks. You're going to run out of ranks real soon Bryce, unless there is something after S or this suddenly turns into a time travel story. Lovely chapter, starting to introduce the skill difference between collegiate and professional scts

2024-09-08 13:03:33 +0000 UTCI loved this chapterā¦ I see what you mean on the ending. I have thoughts on chain of command, but know this isnāt the place to point it out. Thanks for an absolutely great chapter.

2024-09-08 07:32:12 +0000 UTCVery nice! I enjoyed the ākidsā gawking and I enjoyed Lennon being taught stuff, figuratively going all starry eyed, even more. Very nice

2024-09-08 03:40:53 +0000 UTCSuch a great ride that keeps going. Poor Rei and Catcher getting Jet Waylayed early. Can't wait to see a V2 of this chappie with some specs and advancement(?). Will they get the Viv is awake call too? Probably too soon for Lennon to hit S if he just hit A9? Also totes waiting to see if Catcher or Aria is the next on the Shido Link Bus. Guessing even once Viv wakes up it's a few weeks of noCombat while she gets physically and mentally back up - also recovery from the verbal scalding from... everyone?

2024-09-08 03:01:16 +0000 UTCThis chapter had some depth in content. Exposing us to the battle strategy and forethought required to be a SCT combatant. All hands to you Bryce... sure it's a thrill to read about the user abilities, upgrades and progression of Rei story. But it's brilliant to see the Lasher, get back to basics, shore up foundations... Just another dimension to explore growth of the other characters.

2024-09-08 00:54:19 +0000 UTCInteresting to watch the high level fight. But my itch is going itās been 2 weeks since MIND was sorting an alibi with Viv. But she has surfaced yet? Or the team hasnāt been told about it? Weird.

2024-09-08 00:37:16 +0000 UTCVery nice! Loved the fighting, and that Firesong are getting there with voiceless commands. Ability triggers will be entertaining once that happensā¦ Iād love to see that session! I LOVE that Lennon is getting some good quality training out of his time filling in for Viv. Lennonās a good bloke, so he deserves to get something beyond just hitting Pawn class out of working alongside Firesong. And I second the desire to see Lennon interact with Rei/Firesong outside training and it to blow cadetsā minds that The Lasher is as friendly with Firesong as Iāve no doubt he is :o) One thing thoughā¦ Book 1 Prologue says Dent has Overclock, Repulsion, and Magnetic Hunt and book 2 adds Breakstep to her ability list. Alsoā¦ holy crap!! Reiās Cognition has gone up from B2 to B5 in 2 weeks?!? Please say his CAD rank has gone up to B2 as well cos that would be absolutely hilarious!! :oD

2024-09-07 19:46:11 +0000 UTCItās fun to see how the higher ranks perform in the eyes of Firesong. I also like that Lennon is getting to grow. I would like to see the members of Firesong talking to Lennon outside of training and watch the reactions of the others around them wondering how they got to be so friendly with someone of Lennon rank. I want to know if the other first year know of Firesongs sponsorship. If not, that would make Lennon and Reiās relationship even stranger. It could be fun to explore. Aria also needs to tell Rei that he was right to accept the sponsorship even if he went about it the wrong way.

2024-09-07 18:39:22 +0000 UTCAwesome!! This brings it home that Lennon is also still a student.. learning.. thank you!!

2024-09-07 18:35:09 +0000 UTCWhat a chapter. What an absolute rush. I could only read a page at a time before having to stand up and wave my arms around or something to relieve the tension in my body. Absolutely loved it, Mr O'Connor. Looking forward to Chapter 23 2.0!

2024-09-07 18:26:49 +0000 UTCNice one. Itās great to see Lennon being taught and learning. Great chapter.
