I played a bit of it before bouncing off. Agreed that system complexity does build in a cool way, but I found that ultimately the actual combat 9 times out of 10 boiled down to “okay put the cards in the only places that make sense for your build and then you should have big number.” That being the case, I would have liked to get back to the design part of the cycle more often and more quickly.

Though I did have fun, so maybe I’ll give it another shot, talkig about it is warming me up to another round.

Make sure to post about stuff like this within the week they’re up for grabs if you can, so others can grab em if they missed them

Yeah, I mean there’s a reason it’s so common in isekai because isekai is so popular for the same reason: it enables easy, lazy writing that handwaves actual motivations while allowing anyone to self insert more easily. MC doesn’t have to be a rizzler to pick up girls if he’s picking them up at auction, and neither do you!

I’m surprised nobody is bringing up Rising of the Shield hero here. Bro buys slave children which, while still belonging to him and having magic that forces them to obey his commands, develop feelings for him, presumably due to Stockholm syndrome.
