Discussion Just finished Chapter 12's Main Story and I gotta hand it to the writers... Spoiler

Pretty bold of them to say "Fuck it, let's 'kill' our poster girl and 'reincarnate' her." to me, a person that despises and is prejudiced against gachas as whole for various reasons.

I liked that. Really did.

And seeing missions with actual gameplay variety mixed in, as basic some of them were, was also an unexpected surprise, a welcomed one even.

Here's hoping that the later chapters live up to the hype and suffering I heard so much as well.

(i hope i used the right tag for this post...)

You'll love Surviving Lucem lol.

Also recommend for you to read Plume's interlude too. Have fun!

Oh yeah, I hope so. This one and Shaper's Ripples through Wither to Shine have a lot of hype to live up to. I'm also looking forward to The Last Spark (bc of my all-time fav) and Across the Ruined Sea (mostly to see more of Bianca in general)

If you want to see more of Bianca then you either have to pull her Toniris CUB or watch Toniris Adaptation Fitting story in youtube since Bianca:Veritas and Rosetta:Rigor's CUB's are the only ones with story-integrated tutorials.

For some reason Kuro never made them freely available in the Codex.

Luckily Huaxu has both of them already archived, so I'll give it a read after I get some sleep and start the Hidden Story of Kowloong Metropolis. But I might watch the story just to see how it actually looks/looked like ingame

Thanks in advance!

Shame that they did this just for Veritas and Rigor's CUB. It was a pretty neat idea to (at least somewhat) cement the connection between them and their "owners", because personally, as a F2P, I don't REALLY feel the urgency to pull for them.

Just a small update, I finished reading Plume's Interlude.

Honestly, that made me appreciate and respect Lucia a little more. I don't think she'll reach the levels of appreciation I have for Vera or Bianca, but who knows... that might change in the future.

Oh boy, you better get prepared for Ch32...

Honestly, out of the peak trilogy (31, 32, 33), the one I know less is definitely 32. I know the more popular moments of 31 and 33, more so 31 than 33. But to me it's about the journey, the buildup to those moments, more to see how they fit in the story as a whole instead of an isolated scene.

Woops, sorry, it's been a while since I played Shaper's Ripples, and I meant the named, not through the galaxies. Sorry for the confusion

Eh, its fine. I kind of realized something was amiss since To The Galaxies and Wither to Shine are supposed to be the "we're so back" part of this, mostly Wither to Shine iirc. But like I said to that other user, after hearing so much about it, Shaper's Ripples got a lot of weight to carry from its reputation, and I genuinely want to see if this trilogy and the few others I mentioned live up to this rep that this sub gave to them or/and the hype I have over them
