End Bringer: To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Coeur Al Aran's works. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of slice of life anime most of the jokes will go over a typical readers's head. There's also Jaune's ability to bullshit himself out of any situation, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Ciaphas Cain for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity and basedness to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Couer's works truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Headmaster's existencial catchphrase "Sure, why not," which itself is a cryptic reference to Couer Al Aran's work Professor Arc I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Couer's genius unfolds itself on their virtual screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Jaune tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

Thank you

i never liked Cinder as much in this fic. She still was somewhat like her canon counterparr, but a very well don chracter. i am really sad for her death but it was too good and she refusing Salem temptation was nice

I must admit I thought it was all Cinder manipulation, bur she was hesitating and djd not want to fight Jaune, good it was not like his canon counterpart of simple wanting power

that or he will be disparched to his village

this about the Great Treaty is making me think that Jaune will be forced to reveal his true class.. like a impossible situation, where someone is going to be killed and the removes the collar to intervene without breaking the treaty

Glad I finally caught up with this fic, I remember when this was still ongoing. Happy to see it completed! Quite the journey its been

Ah Juniper, always glad to see her

Man, what a scene. Great setup and payoff!

i greatly enjoyed this story, and just wish i'd found it when it was being written. thank you for the enjoyable story, and it's one of the best 'rpg/game' stories i've ever read, you did a wonderful job working it into the world

This was great, even if some bits in the Raven arc were a bit unsavoury. And if only we got to see more of the denuoement!

Wow. I think this was the first time I felt physically sick reading something. Good job!

Regarding the reveal of the pairing in the author's note, I'm honestly not angry at the pairing choice, but moreso angry that you chose now to reveal it, at a time where it feels like Blake and Jaune are done, and Ruby and Jaune may have had a shot to work together. It's quite ironic, isn't it? If you just told us earlier, I wouldn't be as upset. Poor Ruby. The one person that perfectly understands her, out of reach like bullies playing keepaway during recess with your favorite toy.

me, reading this as a finished fic: Me! I noticed it! I knew he'd be a druid!

Greycloaks... STORMCLOAKS!?

Now i see where the Skyrim came from
