What are the best of each verse's unique powers? So far I have:
>Best Devil Fruit
Toki Toki no Mi
>Best Kekkai Genkai
Rinnegan
>Best Soul Weapon
The Almighty (I guess? Idk if you can actually take that, I assume so because of the disclaimer at the top but the option is worded very weirdly)
>Best Breathing Style
Sun Breathing
>Best Innate Technique
Comedian

>>97862713
Alright anon. I'll ask the five most important questions there are to ask...
Which companion wants the most SEX?
Which companion has the most potential to support SEX?
Which companion has the best perspective on SEX?
Which companion looks the best for SEX?
Which companion feels the best during SEX?
>>
>>97862739
>>97862733
first version made more sense for the angle you're taking this in
>>
>>
>>97862713
i think campaigns are kind of undercooked, it feels like taking more than you need to is always the best choice, some of them are trivial like filler arc or purely beneficial like technique collection, you can easily get away with just not taking any bad ones even if your minimum is like six or more
>>
>>
>>
>>97862767
also there should be some basic info about how they fit into the cyoa context as a whole because i have this vague feeling that doing all of your campaigns is when your conscription also ends but the cyoa never mentions anything about it
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>97862849
it logically should be, otherwise the implication is that you're a slave, which wouldn't work out for anyone trying to enforce it for most builds, to the point it would be very obviously a terrible idea for them, and besides that there's only one conscription which has any themes of slavery built into it at all such as the escape campaign, and that's the literal slave one
and even the literal slave conscirption obviously ends at that point, since by definition you're not a slave anymore
the conscriptions are vague about this stuff but it's clear that they have expiration dates built into them, and the campaigns ending are the natural place for that
on the other hand, i don't see any reason you couldn't continue working for the same employers if you wanted to, in which case you'd just get new campaigns
>>
>>
>>
>>97862949
that's going too far in the other direction, you're probably actually legally required to do your campaigns, otherwise neither they nor for example the overtime alteration would make any sense, and it's probable that kofuko would do something to keep you in line since otherwise you're ruining his reputation
of course, a legal obligation and a potential threat from a great spirit isn't the same as being actually forced into anything, so if you're strong enough to ignore the consequences you can just walk away
>>
>>97862966
I am like 99% sure you aren't, there's a reason the only conscription that mentions needing to run away from the law to get out is the one where you're a literal slave. Everywhere else it just talks about hiring you and you being compensated, which wouldn't make sense if you flatly had to be there no matter what. The most likely outcome is the guy who employed you gets mad, which is more or less of an issue depending on what conscription you actually took
Also looking through the archives I asked PCA if anything was stopping you from just leaving and he ignored it (while answering the other parts of my question) so take that as you will.
>>
>>
>>97863022
i think of it as a contract, if you leave before finishing the job you signed up for you're in breach of the contract, with various consequences depending on the job and context
>while answering the other parts of my question
i presume because it's an unfinished part of the cyoa and he hadn't ever really figured it out himself

It's a fairly rote CYOA - and well planned - but the Anglerfish tie makes it meta. I like how you straddled that line. Kind of Jumpchain-esque, and I mean that as neither complement or insult. Three separate authors have to be involved for someone to play this, strictly speaking. It would be cool if that happened more within the structure of a particular setting, for example a CYOA about rising through a faction in Stardust
I wonder if the people who hate metaCYOAs have the same gripe with Anglerfish - it seems like a logical continuation of the isekai or planeswalking shit that I would guess many of them love. are the Climb aboard and Sink options supposed to be breasts? props to you also for the OG little girl option. I will post an appropriate base CYOA, then Anglerfish, then perhaps make a build for this. thanks for OC!

>Climb Aboard

>The Dream
I wanted to pick "Here. Now" at first. Living my mundane life, getting isekai'd, fighting the Anglerfish... Retconning the timeline to let another self lives a better life would be a fitting conclusion.
However, by choosing the Dream, I can help people going through the same ordeal. I will enjoy eternal peace later.

Feels like there should be another page or two to Cosmos Companions. Other planets we can go to, or projects we can undertake. Otherwise, most of the references to the kinds of work the different servants do is irrelevant.
(Not much need for space ship crew without a spaceship.)
Still, a number of interesting character options.

Heaven's Door is pretty good, I also like Diavolo's King Crimson.
In the end is a question if you want to be strong in one thing or good at different techniques/things.
There is to consider that superstrong abilities like Almighty and such probably can't be replicated fully unless you max all your stats or train with them a ton.

Reality is space + fantasy (what modern day gigatricked humans would consider fantasy), so it's not just the le "material world". Reality doesn't revolve around the limited and incomplete knowledge base that humans currently accept as truth.
>>97864371
It's hypothetical. Cultivation could never beat a fleet of humans starships from the future, because cultivation is just some made up bullshit that less developed anons simp for. It's the only exposure to the spiritual side of things for some anons, which is just sad, since cultivation is pure slop.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. I've left it as an exercise to the reader to decide whether those orbs imply the bubbles that you'll churn up while scrambling on board, or the absolute the bazombas on the ferrygirl (with choices acting as nipple pasties).
Good job supercharging your meta-helpfulness. I'm suprised so many are picking dream, but I suppose its in the spirit of the CYOA to do so.

Also, ultimately I see Anglerfish as a CYOA at the end of all CYOA's in a way. To me, you don't necessarily need another one to anchor Anglerfish to, as it is a trap for the Ur-CYOA. The light at the end of all thier tunnels. As the final image of it is of the fish, to me the implication is that choosing any of the 'good' options or 'escape' options are but more figments of its mirror-trap. I wanted a definite positive resolution beyond and outside of it.

I fucking hate elemental magic. It's some kind of jrpg mind cancer that has infected way too much fantasy. The closest I can easily tolerate is just putting it all into the school of evocation like in dnd. Any more gamified than that and I'm just going to wonder if I need to press start.
>>

>>97866816
All very good. The techniques themselves will be a bit abstracted to what their shape and effects are. Basically you'll have a choice of eight elements, all with their own stats, to act as a chassis for your build. There are four major enemies that are resistant or vulnerable to certain elements, all of them represented once in each category. Different elements lend well to certain powers, such as Fire for Destroy, or Life for Entangle, but any can be taken with any element. There's just a large learning curve and you're on a limited, if generous time frame.
>>97866824
Oh yeah I'm a big fan of spirit interactions as well. Most of the power focus is on flashy, direct combat but there will be some utility-oriented stuff.
>>97866829
You have my condolences, anon. You are probably going to hate this CYOA when it releases. I like abstract magic but am also smoothbrained and enjoy the rock-paper-scissors dichotomy you see sometimes. Water beats Fire, etc. To add insult to injury, this is also an isekai with some basebuilding elements.

I want something That can kill silently
Like a gun that shoots the spirit, or a telekinetic needle
Something where it isn't clear I'm involved at all
Also, big spear type magic is really cool. Blasting big circular holes in things is cool

Been thinking of making a remix of the Black Magic CYOA since it's pretty cool, but most people haven't played it, coz the author added a shit ton of abilities that are just "train 3 years and find out how to make your garden 30% more productive" or "study 7 years to make yourself immune to werewolves, which don't exist anymore". So I'll try to remove all the bullshit clutter spells (which I'm 50 % done with), give people maybe 12 years of spells from the beginning, add pictures to the spells for all you ADHD niggas and maybe add some items from the author's relic CYOA. Don't expect much though, I've only made one CYOA so far (the Hereafter CYOA) and might give up halfway through.

What would anons want in a cyoa about being a gladiator?
Would you rather pick your own equipment/"make your build" or deal with premade (and closer to "irl gladiator") loadouts with their own strengths and weaknesses?

>>
>>97867303
>What would anons want in a cyoa about being a gladiator?
A normal ass gladiator in a normal ass world? Absolutely not. There is also already a couple like that I think, one made quite the splash here for other reasons and was then quickly forgotten. If it's more fantasy there could be a reason to have it.
>Would you rather pick your own equipment/"make your build" or deal with premade (and closer to "irl gladiator") loadouts with their own strengths and weaknesses?
Making the builds sounds a lot more interesting than choosing a premade class. You could have both, a base class with some customization, but just classes are too boring, even more if it's not even fantasy.

It was the "rape doesnt exists as a concept in this world and people are really nice to slaves" setting. I don't know if "romanticized" applies there, it seems to go quite a bit beyond that.

Being able to send your mind into the past is op already, everything else give massive amount of utility, and with binding vow I'm sure you can pay the lifespan cost with CE, maybe even directly convert CE into lifespan and lifespan into CE with the CT as foundation.

I think that’s pretty common, especially in works that are pretty explicitly power fantasy. One thing I appreciate about Klein is that he’s way more reserved than I would be, which is probably the best move in a world where you can get one shot on accident. At times, I feel as though his planning and intelligence is too convenient, but I can’t usually fault the logic. Him being completely sexless is notable to me, especially when compared with myself and other anons.
Perhaps it’s bias from consuming the webnovel, but the Seer pathway does really seem the most fun to me. The others I like have the unfortunate tendency to trans you.

The only reason Gon was able to do it was because he had ridiculous bullshit potential that he threw away. Gon-san is what he *would* have been if he kept training.
>>
>>
>>97872142
No, it's not "seconds", Gon didn't sacrifice for a massive generic power boost, he basically took a payday loan on his entire potential.
>Also, post mortem nen
Unless you have something like muh rubber nen the most you'll do is have a minor technique that does shit like have the corpses of the people your gang kills dispose of themselves.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>97872152
Oh, you're actually wrong
That sad
Nen is the accumulation of life energy, it isn't a system of arbitrary powers with arbitrary rules.
The act of limiting your power is focusing your nen, and the reason personal limitations (Like pandunoka's entirely emotional limit) work is that they represent the sharpening of resolve
But where giving up things that have value to you can represent increased resolve, giving your life is literally the most resolve you can have, the full usage of 100% of your bodies spiritual power
Gon didn't have some shard hidden inside him that he threw away, he just had a body keen to develop into a powerful form over time, and he used nen to speed that natural growth at extreme cost.
Any technique when fuelled by post mortem nen has a 100x power boost from the fact it uses literally all of the nen you have, it doesn't have to be specific or preplanned, that's why the troupe weren't willing to kill kurapika
It's like how in a true crisis people can break their arms through exertion, but with every single energy in the body at once
If an average person were to give literally everything they have with a technique they had used for years, they would unstopable, almost meruem level nen for all of 5 seconds before dying. it doesn't matter what technique they are using, it would be bad to be near that
This actually happens in jujustu kaisen when the crow lady gets her useless fucking birds to kill giant monsters by sacrificing their lifes. If you did the same thing with trained humans it would scale up massively
>>97872181
More power does not necessarily make you win, but if enough people are willing to spend their lives like a currency then almost anything can be beaten
>>
>>97872231
If it was possible to just suicide bomb yourself, you would have seen that shit happening to someone other than an gigaprodigy.
They literally have a thing in the current arc where people have to do ridiculous overly extensive and obtuse rituals just to deliver a curse somebody. If they could have just gone "I'll sacrfice my life for a buncha power" they would have done that instead.
>>
>>97872242
>If it was possible to just suicide bomb yourself
It requires that you are competent enough at nen to be able to do restrictions like that, I will say.
It isn't actually someone that anyone on the street can do
But I would belive it is within the capacity of most professionals and hunters (Remember that there are like 600 hunters in a world with billions of people, and they each beat approx 999,999 other applicants to get the position)
>you would have seen that shit happening to someone other than an gigaprodigy.
The plot has almost entirely focused on giga prodigies. There aren't that many people seen in situations where killing yourself for power is a reasonable solution and in the few cases where it is, Like kurapika and whatnot, it is just a possibility.
This feels like more of a problem with jjk then with hxh, because in hxh no one ever actually considers the world at risk in that way, on that level of organisation.
>They literally have a thing in the current arc where people have to do ridiculous overly extensive and obtuse rituals just to deliver a curse somebody
Now that I think of it, the line between the average hunter and the average guy might be bigger then I was thinking
I will also note that the fact the target cannot be changed is an advantage in an intrigue setting, because no one wants to make weapons that can be used against them, and that part of those rituals are about getting the user to willingly sacrifice themselves, but yes, that is less
I do think that those curses are supposed the be instakills if delivered, and instakills that outweigh the GSB's, and that the people making them are probably being quite inefficient compared to a nen user
Unless we see the curses and they are really big you are probably right about them being less then the sort of detonation I was expecting, but still I think if they were half decent hunters willing to die trying to curse someone they could probably just do it with little warm up

The jokey answer: reminder that Ascii Face is autistic, please understand.
The more serious answer: It's about tastes. Some people might enjoy the abyssal ocean, others might find it boring. He's entilted to his subjective opinion just like you are.
The shitpost answer: Like most anons, he's terrified of women and never take showers, so the concept of being in a boat with the ferrywoman terrifies him.
