just gonna put this here but I have never heard of or experienced in any way worm. here's to hoping this is a good read.

Binged and enjoyed. looking 4ward 2 more. best worm fic I've found in a while and at least in the top 10 on my worm fic list. maybe top 5. Anyway hope u update this sson. If this dies, i'll be disappointed and will probably sulk.

The fact that Taylor just willingly let the PRt lock her in a cell when she has done nothing wrong and should have major authority issues gives me 0 hope for the rest of this fic.

Love the story, but think you’re underestimating not only the number of weapons in UBW(look up magical weapons), but also how much of a game changer permanent weapons can be. Selling some of them to the military or using them as a signing bonus to recruit her own team are just the tip of the iceberg for making use of such a valuable asset.

what a stupid ass story. what the fuck did he think was gonna happen when he cut the locker open?

Not to shabby. A different story arc then the normal brockten bay arcs.

Tho stupid annoying that Taylor keeps talking one on one with the cauldron cape with the same goal as her and a little secret backing from the most powerful organization wouldn't be a bad thing. She soloed lungs how does Contessa or Alexandria not have her on a radar?

Taylor becoming lesbian felt completely forced. Lily getting attracted to Taylor is understandable, her character is a bisexual one but not of Taylor's. Show some reason why someone who was attracted to boys or according to canon was attracted to boys is showing a change in interest. The attraction of opposite genders to each other is hormones working in the body. I didn't get any implications of body characteristics getting copied from the story. I am ranting because too many fanfictions makes Taylor bisexual just for the sake of it.

one of my greatest regrets, and simultaneously one of my favorite past times, is elden ring

F*CK MALENIA

an emiya with no power limits...yeah thats fucking terrifying

Thanks for the chapter! Can we perhaps get an interlude with Lisa and Sundancer? To see what happens next?

As I was typing this I realized that it's incredibly nitpicky, feel free to ignore this.

One thought that came to me - you mentioned that Flechette's crossbow was made 8 pounds heavier by the tinker tech autoloader and infinite quiver, but this was worth it in her opinion. I don't disagree, but you might want to make that a little lighter in general. Normal hunting crossbows weigh around that weight to begin with, so you're effectively doubling the weight to 16 pounds. That's only a little bit lighter than an unloaded M249 machine gun, which weighs in at 17 pounds and is generally regarded as very unsuited to being shot from the shoulder for extended periods of time due to its weight, and many soldiers dislike carrying it around because of how heavy it is.

Making it 4 pounds would bring it to around 12 pounds total, which would bring it in line with DMR-style rifles. Easier to carry around, well balanced to be shot from the shoulder, all that fun jazz.

lol Aisha's just here eating the leftovers

So, Imp fits surprisingly well into the developing legend about Lily & Taylor. Especially because she becomes all the more terrifying when supplied with some Traced goodies.

I am not a fan of this Adept collaboration plan. That way lies drama and bad PR.
Buuuuuut I totally see how it's the best option Taylor has at the moment so long as she's committed to quitting the Wards. I just wonder how you'll keep Lily (and the rest of Taylor's team) in focus while going that direction. Cause I want Taylor and Lily to do more things together!
Can't honestly criticize Taylor's plan though, because it's very much a Taylor Plan.
But! I can always fantasize about Taylor's team and Vista quitting the Wards and all of them (Imp! Maybe! If they can remember!) making their own team and actually doing good. I mean, Taylor isn't reliant on material goods as much as others, cause Tracing. She could outfit all of them, except for Tinker needs, so an Independent Team is actually viable.

I remember it was addressed in story at some point, but with Taylor thinking about showing the Adepts some magic I got reminded. Does Taylor have Magic Circuits? Mostly asking because I think the answer was no, but I don't see why that would be, since Shards can reconfigure Host bodies, as seen by the Case 53s. And if it were a Soul thing, then her fusing with Shirou should solve it, plus Alara just...doing it. Wouldn't even change anything in terms of how Taylor uses her abilities, but she'd produce some power of her own along with some other fringe benefits.

Anyway! Changes are coming to the status quo! :D

Why is she nerfed ?
"He is capable of reproducing any sword that he has seen, though Noble Phantasms are always one rank below their original strength and armor costs three times the amount of magical energy, and he is capable of employing its entire history, allowing him to wield any weapon with the same proficiency of its original owner." -wikia
She doesn't seem to use that ability at all. Despite the fact it should be one of her prime assets.

Very good chapter. You did a great job with Taylor and Danny's conversation; they both stayed relatively calm and reasonable, and had an actual conversation instead of a shouting match. Compare and contrast to Vista and her 'parents.' Speaking of which, I'm definitely curious as to what Vista will end up doing.

Well...welcome to the team, Imp? How many scary young ladies is Taylor going to inadvertently recruit? ;)

Take care, good luck, stay safe, stay healthy, and I look forward to your next update.
