-First god build that wants me. If no one picks me, I will group up with Brigid.
Going to be a group buffbot with a tactician focus. My hyperfocused magic stat can make my Exalt buff turn anyone into a physical powerhouse and because of how levels work, pull anyone up to at least my level in physical ability. Hoping to get more support spells to help leverage my Mortal Bond skill.
Conveniently, the nature of my buff lends itself to raising all my stats up to further abuse Exalt and Favored Path.
The aim is to explore the dungeon and see if I can't level up each time with SSS magic.

I'm pretty sure it's all from the gatcha game for the anime. You can tell, they have the clear gacha card style. The companions clearly aren't, but most of them seem to come from something final fantasy related or fire emblem.

Oh. Still I assume the anime has the same designs. How does a series with middle-schooler-on-deviantart tier art become so popular? And it's not just this. It's weird how, when I look at japanese popular media, which franchises become popular and which don't has seemingly nothing to do with the quality of the art. It's the weirdest thing. Am I a filthy superficial artfag who likes pretty pictures? Are the japs less superficial than me and manage to consistently look past it for some hidden core that I'm not seeing?

This thing if it wasn't an interactive, it's just such a niche high autistic schizo deep lore. This is one of the most fucking elaborate BTG cyoas ever.

If someone actually ported this into a decent looking static then the shitposters would probably be posting it.

>>97615217
It does have an interesting and well developed magic system, or more like it has four interesting and well developed magic systems. It's also an absolute clusterfuck that manages to mostly avoid having lore conflicts.

Is save state power the most overpowered boon of all?
>>
>>
>>
File: desert car cyoa.png (1.4 MB)

Looking for some good old/simple cyoa's, anyone have any?
>>
>>97615347
The benefit of save state is that usually the power lets you set a save right after gaining it. So you should never end up in an infinite time loop torture hell because you should always be able to go to a save state before such a time loop. If you have rolling saves where you lose older ones then you're fucked though because you got a shit tier version of the power.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>97615347
Depends on what sort of save state you get. Auto-saves like RBD from Re:Zero or the MC's Die-And-Reset-The-Day Power from The Knight Only Lives Today are just curses meant to break your sanity, but save states where you have even a little control over it is unbelievably busted.
Save Slot by Troy X is a pretty good example of how broken save sates can be.
>>
>>97615372
This is why I specified time loop on its own is a shit power becouse if you don't have a form of immortality you will always end up in an infinite hell time loop where you will repeat your mortal life again and again and again, infinitely.
Hero has returned protagonist/antogonist resurection hero pretty much was stuck in such a loop where whenever he tried to achieve immortality the save failsafe triggered as it no longer considered him human. So he had to commit an elaborate apocalypse scenario to kill himself so the world is not stuck in a timeloop.
>>
>>
>>97615364
Drawbacks:
Melanie- the video has to be ironic so we'll have some laughs on the way
Baking powder- really bad idea but I need the money
Ghost road- ghosts aren't real
Hyenas- not stopping during this time
Scorpions - see above
36M total
MRE: best in the options, comes with coffee and toilet paper and a bunch of stuff that clears everything
Caff tablets: I've never driven 24 hours but I think 2 10 hour shifts broken up by a nap and a final stretch with caffeine will get me there
4 liters water- a little much but better to have too much than too little
Road atlas- can't go wrong with written maps
Could also forgot the caff tabs for some self heating coffee and get the treasure map
>>
>>
>>97615395
Yes it really depends on the save state.
If it doesn't have auto resurrect you can just be killed and your dead.
If it does have auto resurrect well depending on how that resurrect works you might just literally be stuck in an infinite death timeloop.
Yes then there is the question of how many slots do you have and if the old slots are overwritten and how they are overwritten which will drastically effect the usability of the power.
Finally there is a common weakness to save slots that you might just get mindbroken or soul damaged. Unless it has some auto-reset functionality, but with an auto-reset you can fall into the same issue as the auto-ressurect and depending on how strict it is might just lock you out of other methods of power and possibly even immortality.
At some point you understand that the only truly good time loop would be some very specific op interpretation that patched up all the loopholes and if your going with such op boons well then go full out and give the actually best and most overpowered boon of all, perfect luck that gives the character the best possible outcome. Why reset a million times to achieve the same thing if you can just get it at the first go?
>>
>>
>>97615474
NTA but let's give you a hypothetical scenario where you give everyone points to get powers you spend all your points on your savestates so otherwise your essentially a normal guy, while everyone else picked the powers to make themselves goku. How is a normal dude who has infinite tries going to sexually rampage when everyone else is so much stronger than them.

But the majority of all fights are skirmishes and not prolonged battles, meaning you will never get to the end of your quickly refilling mana pool
(And if you need to engage in a long series of serious battles back to back you die)
I have realised writing this that you could simply cast the spell twice on the same targets, and that that actually makes the issue irrelevant
But if hypothetically it were something combat related and not a buff/utility spell then that would be very inconvenient.
>>
>>97615474
My fetish is the hypnotism?
And that means preserving your mind or sending it back in time isn't very useful?
In a fight between hypnotists savestates only work before you get even a little bit got
You do get that my fetishes are different to yours?
That it isn't just a scale from fetish to not fetish?
>>
>>97615505
>But the majority of all fights are skirmishes and not prolonged battles, meaning you will never get to the end of your quickly refilling mana pool
You can just put more power into your spells/cast bigger ones more often if you're worried about that.
> (And if you need to engage in a long series of serious battles back to back you die)
I don't think that's nearly as assured as you make it out to be, it's not like it's only ever a choice between a 1 minute battle and a 1 hour battle.

>>97606669
Guess the main benefits for you would be 1.3x stat growth, free rank in schemes, I guess I technically have the most assets of all the canon gods as all the gods just spawned in 1000 b.c., political protection from the other gods schemes, the Familia has 3 lvl 5 companions and whatever else a charm 3 scheme 3 beuty goddess with a discerning eye can scrounge up. Well and to stay in character got to offer the optional benefit of sex.

All in on focusing on a single enemy and bringing them down quickly. Often starting with the meanest of the group.
Going to make it my job to clean up the Soma Familia. Will start by clearing out the leeches that are there to exploit the downtrodden. Try to attract some artisan brewers or merchants to bring in some more wealth. Make deals with local farmland to invest in vineyards. How does the setting/franchise handle kicking people out of a Familia? Can only the Familia's God do it? How would that work in the case of Soma? Would I have to convince him to help me clean up his Familia?
I've tried to select companions that I'd be reasonably likely to meet in this pursuit or those that seem like they would be willing to help. Are there better picks for this?
Probably try to shack up with an elven or hobbit femboi or an Amazonian or Dwarven Muscle-Mommy.

You retroactively get 1,000 in each of your stats for every purchase of Level Up. Taking a Level Up is better than levelling up alone, since it’s already maxing out your attributes.
Strange how no one realizes this. This is what makes the Exalt and the Minion spells so good. They suck at lower levels.

Reminder that you’re a piece of shit for taking canon character’s unique abilities.
Crozzo blood? For Welf only. Realis Phrase? For Bell only. Argonaut? Also for Bell only. Glutton? That’s Zald’s thing. Double Cannon? Lefiya’s thing (where the fuck is Fairy Canon, author-sama?).
I can be fine with stuff like Metamagic since it’s clearly not EXACTLY Riveria’s thing; it’s more like spell-playdough. She can’t actually twist around her spells or mix them into each other. Or Spellthief, since I don’t remember a time in the manga when Lefiya could just flick away someone’s else’s magic like that??
You are an unoriginal fag if you steal any of their shit. I don’t care how relevant it is to your build. Sorry.

The best build in Danmachi is a Glutton with a custom god that can feed him the Golden Child and several 20 point skills through having picked Child many times. This will also give them great assets and quests to further abuse.

This. In canon a lot of abilities aren’t able to be owned by anyone else. It makes no sense to have realis phrase or argonaut

I’d make it funny. As she delivers me my ordered food, I’d wait until she says something innocuous, like a comment about food, and then I’d blurt out my divine accusation. She would be totally confused over how the topic of shrimp and pasta (or anything related to food really) could lead some random mortal to correctly guessing her true identity. What gave her away? Was it the shrimp? She will be left wondering.

Skills do not have an accompanying stat or grade, and are generally more useful than developmental abilities. DAs can be obtained one per level (or from skills, actually) and do scale over time, which makes them more accessible. You can expect to obtain DAs, but you can't make the same assumption about skills. You can gain skills over time, but that's arbitrary and not something you should expect.

I suppose it depends on the setting and subject of your CYOA. There are a good few natural drawbacks to being reborn, being raised from infancy would be dreadful. Do you maintain your memories, if not then that is ground for extra points, or do you get them back at a certain age. At that point you could just give the option to insert the player into some suitable person. Is being already ingrained in the world an advantage in your CYOA?

I see so many complaints about miseryfagging in CYOAs that have barely any suffering in them relative to reality. I want to make a TRUE miseryfag CYOA by baking it into the core mechanics. The structure would be loosely inspired by Peil's A Life's Chronicle, but instead of careers, it's quests, and every one you complete and earn the rewards of also gains you several fate points that must be spent on mental, physical, and situational drawbacks. This represents the suffering you undergo on your adventure. At the same time, there should be a list of skills and traits that can evolve over time into minor powers. By the end of your quests, you will be some variety of tortured warrior that has repeatedly fought through impossible odds. Not because you chose to, but because the world itself wants to crush you under its weight, and the only thing left to do is to crush it right back.
But I can't decide. Should there be overarching enemies or should each quest be self-contained? I'm tempted to have several big enemies that are all involved in some of the quests but are only directly confronted in their own more intricate mega quests at the end.
>>
>>
>>
>>97618301
Overarching enemies because it implies your life is a neverending string of misadventures and even if you win a quest, they'll come back to ruin that fleeting victory later.
That's the feeling you're chasing, right? Hopelessness?

>>
>>

>>97617754
>Is being already ingrained in the world an advantage in your CYOA?
It's a fantasy setting where being raised from birth would give you connections/an opportunity to train in things you'd be highly unlikely or physically unable to have the opportunity to train in otherwise (Like magic) so yes
>>
>>97618326
Me. I value anons and their feedback.
>>97618356
>That's the feeling you're chasing, right? Hopelessness?
Not quite hopelessness, but misery. Every battle hardfought and won at dire cost. Years spent in struggle that seems futile, just to keep continuing in spite of it. Triumph against an invincible foe taken at the edge of your blade, but by then you are so changed who you were at the start is unrecognizable. It echoes hollow and your soul aches, but it doesn't matter, because for a short time you forced the uncaring world to bend, and made it a slightly better place.

Aside from the strength you've gained and the taste of victory, there will be rewards for each quest. Loot: treasures, magic items, more esoteric things like deeds to land, noble entitlement, or fame. Companionship: friends, assistants, potentially waifus, free service in taverns across the land, and so on. Power: weird magic to draw on, rare techniques to improve your skills, the chance to seize unnatural youth, that kind of thing.
The standard hero package. You'll be able to forfeit rewards by spending fate points on them instead of personal drawbacks. If you went 100% on this you could escape without much ardour but you wouldn't have a lot to show for it.

Who is the best mentor and why is it so obviously Washu it's not even funny? I mean she's a literal goddess and smartest person in the universe. She'd be able to grant you immortality and superpowers / magic / magic superpowers, probably your own spaceship too. And you can likely have your choice of delicious loli and MILF given she shapeshifts between the two. And all it costs is having to be a test subject, which based on her tests with Tenchi involve being given forceful handjobs.
I can't imagine anyone else on this list gives so much for so little.

Pretty typical 'Warrior, Thief & Mage' party. The Orc follows me after I found her wounded in the forest and nursed her back to health.

The survivors and I made our way to the nearest large city where we met the Elf who hired us to play bodyguard.

Depends. Exalt with Metamagic feels like a respec on the fly, you can just put all your stats in the same attribute, I imagine 5000 in anything are going to do some crazy shit when most people cap out at 999. Raise on the other hand seems like a percentage based boost, maybe if you pump enough mana in it can get pretty high, but does it get to +400%? It does have elemtal properties, that may be an advantage.

Favored Path seem like a very shit skill for costing 20 points. I'm not sure a mere X3 to a stat is worth cutting all others in half. If you put your boost on magic, with Exalt you would only get like a 10% increase. If you have 1000 in all stats that would put your magic at 3000 and everything else at 500, after Exalt it would be a +600 across the board, so 3600 magic and 1100 for everything else. This is without metamagic, with metamagic it doesn't really matter because the total stats are the same anyway.

>Exalt with Metamagic feels like a respec on the fly, you can just put all your stats in the same attribute
This is a good point. What else would it be used for in regards to Metamagic? It’s a no brainer. A +5,000 magic boost or strength boost would be fucking *insane*.

I read the spell wrong the first time, it doesn't take away the stats, it's just a boost, it's even better than I thought.
Honestly i think the Monster spell is the most OP with Metamagic, because it has no real limits. Monsters can do pretty anything, and metamagic would allow you to use monster powers without turning into a monster, or only turning parts of yourself into one. Just become the perfect chimera with all the powers of the strongest monsters. Actually, isn't the final boss a monster? Also isn't the Monster/Meta combo just a better version of the Gluttony skill? It's also cheaper, 12 points vs 20.
>>
>>
>>97620700
Realis Phrase, simply because you can make better gluttony with spells for cheap but you can't reproduce RP with magic. At least not with spells offered by the cyoa, you could find a special "Will to Power" spell or something.

Keeping on this train of though, the combination of Blast and Weapon spells with metamagic makes both Crozzo Blood and Nature's Forge obsolete. Raise makes Shockwaves, Blitz and Super skills obsolete, even without metamagic with the right element, with it it's even better. In short a lot of skills are actually useless with the right magic.

>>97620855
>you can take as many as you want

>>97620864
Monster may be the best one jus because of the sheer variety of shit you can do with it. Combine it with Monster Maker and the possibilities are endless. No monster with an ability you want? Just make one. Loyalty is not a requirement to just use the products of Monster Maker as a skill library, the fact that they are alive isn't a requirement either.
Exalt for crazy power boosts when needed, much less variety but a x6 boost to a stat of your choice is nothing to scoff at.
Honorable mention to the humble Weapon, by itself it's not that good, but you can combine it with other magics to pretty much replicate all the production skills and development abilities. In fact Weapon +Monster means you can essentially play Monster Hunter on steroids and make wepons with monster powers.

>>97620913
>Could you really turn yourself into a Demi-spirit though? Summon a Demi-spirit?

Drain is the only one that explicitely does that. being able to game Restore with Metamagic is arguable, it's the one thing that the description specifically states it doesn't affect.

You have the Minion spell for that. It doesn’t even say how long it lasts. You can summon one in advance as a form of contingency planning. With Metamagic you might even be able to summon your own spells to “have them around” as a variant of how Lefiya “hangs” her spells using Double Canon. Maybe even a lot better at it.

Just a reminder to slow life builds that they will NEVER reach beyond level 5 since Falna specifically rewards Heroism, as in it needs you to get in terrible shit and miraculously claw your way out to get extreme stats or high levels. Otto specifically points this out.
So you can't be smart about getting more powerful. Unga bunga maxxing is the way.
>>
>>
>>
>>97621097
Isn't a level up equivalent to like 2500 in a stat. It would take three maxed level ups to finally be beyond your level in a stat. Something only like two people do in the story, Bell and the blonde girl.
>>
>>
>>
>>97621103
>Only if you take Realis Phrase
The cyoa mentions nowhere that you are capped like everyone else. In fact it specifically points out that stats can go beyond S, which implies you can get there with no other assistance than the fact you are the player. If your stats were capped the author should have stopped at S not say that they get to "SSS and so on" That clearly implies there is no cap.
>>
>>
>>97621114
Yeah I gave 2500 because the only two statements on it in canon are Loki's that leveling is always better than maxxing a stat, and Bell whose stats are beyond his level since he has Multiple S/SS/SSS stats before level ups.

Casting Exalt on a bonded team grants them a boost to all stats equal to 20% of your magic.
That is a 2500 all stat boost to 6 other people.
That's the equivalent of giving them 2.5 levels. Each.

Correction:
You wouldn't have 5000 magic at level 6.
You would have 15000 because of the conversion.
That 15000 becomes 37500 after Exalt.
So really, everyone else would be getting a 7500 all stat boost.
That's 7.5 levels each. My bad.

A god's low effort vacation from the underworld is here. Sealed all my skills before coming to prevent any unnecessary action on my part. Singlehandedly drained all the talent of the Dark Elf nation and caused their decline. Join today for incredible benefits including an impending crisis that will certainly give you more power if you survive. I highly recommend taking Centurion if you want to get into the main teams.

NTA but is it worth reading? I tend to be filtered by its length, but after starting LOTM big works aren't as scary. Still, it's a big investement in time.

>>97621593
it's very much a product of its time, and whether that makes it better or worse is dependent on your sensibilities; I personally love it for the realm and world(s) it built, and the concepts it's built on (including how it's directly tied into and affected by the medium it is) which is ironically funny because hussie is has been quoted saying that he hates worldbuilding the most out of all aspects of writing
overall yeah I'd recommend it, but it does slow down significantly/becomes more dialogue-heavy in Act 6, and takes a few left turns during that time that, while fantastically interesting on a backend/world level, are quite questionable on a narrative/reading satisfaction level, which all culminates in an ending that on the surface level is very... divisive, and generally considered abrupt and sudden, but makes a lot of sense when you actually think about it in terms of the themes and underlying concepts the story deals with (so out of reach intellectually to most of the internet/HS fandom at the time)

He lost his girlfriend and entire clan to some evil monster. Imagine clutching the body of your beloved, as its missing its lower half. And THEN his next girlfriend also died offscreen while he was away. Guy has horrible luck with women. Doesn't like making friends because he lost his clan and his original familia.

I think about this a lot. What if you picked options in isekai for your CYOA but the premise included you losing your memories, and you're a power-fag who abandoned everything in pursuit of absolute power. So you go through your life according to your own choices, and your mentor, your childhood friend, your best friends and companies, all die, one by one, while you yourself are afflicted with constant curses and ailments. Tragedy after tragedy befalls you due to your own decisions that you can't even remember.
Then when you get to the finale it is revealed to you that the goddess/god/demon lord/whoever isn't responsible for your problems. It's you. You chose every tragedy and got the adventure you desired. You have the highest amount of power the CYOA offered at the expense of all else. And for what? You are unable to live with the guilt and might even seppuku immediately. It was all for nothing. (You) are the cause of all the nightmares and wrong-doings in this world. If it wasn't for your choices your waifu and companions would've lived happily. Your choices resurrected the dark lord and turned the mostly peaceful world into a hellscape grimdark powerfag adventure. You are the problem.
You may think that by lashing out and defeating the entity that gave you the deal in the first place would fix everything, but the CYOA was never designed to defeat the gods or give you that power. So in the end, even after choosing all of the powerfag options, the game was rigged from the start. Why would the gods or this entity give you the power to overcome them? You were always confined, always irrelevant, and always doomed. A falling star introduced to this world precisely to undercut it and make the invasion go by perfectly. Sending hopeless losers like (You) to be the "hero" make invading these worlds so effortless.
Thank you for your help, Anon. Without your choices it wouldn't have been so easy.

Like usual?
Most CYOA worlds are the direct results of our choices.

There are self-insert builds who retain the anon's memories.
There are non-self-insert builds who normally don't retain the anon's memories since they have no in-universe connection to anon (ie they aren't "You").
You are talking about a hypothetical player who plays as self-insert but also wipes his own memories? There's noone like tha-
Ok aside from BTG there's noone like that.

Yeah, the idea is that the entity offering you the CYOA experience is doing so precisely to undermine the world they seek to invade. They pass you off as the "hero" and your choices determine what happens. They frame the CYOA in a way that benefits them while appearing to give you maximum power but it's a lie and you'll never come close to their cosmic level powers. But you are slipped in as a trojan horse under a deal with the other cosmic entity ruling over that world. Your choices then weaken the world and the "good" gods and prime it for invasion.
>>97621768
The premise is that you have to lose your memories in order for a full reincarnation experience. This is done so that the reveal is that much more juicy. "This is what you wanted." It's designed to crush your hopes and dreams in accordance with your own choices.
>>97621755
I like to think the entity looks like pic related and has a collection of mindbroken "heroes" plugged up to a nightmare machine as trophies after they fail, and so far, no matter how noble their intentions were, no one has ever "succeeded." This game always ends with her victory because the choices made always screw over the world even if they choose to be a noble hero. Giving you what you asked for ends up being the ultimate curse. The lucky heroes are those that live a natural life and die of natural causes, but the echo they imprint into the world is a wedge that destabilizes it and throws off the balance. By being the ultimate champion of light and taking all of the resources you do so at the expense of the natives who become weaker and more complacent, and even subtle ideas you add in throw everything off balance over time, as your very existence goes against the natural order. Even if the first hero chooses "safe" options the second and third will snowball. The victory for the entity is inevitable as she plays a game of cosmic causality.

I'm too tired to read that whole thing right now, but I can say a few things before I eventually do.
Sarkaz are the niggers of terra, and deserve all the hate they get. Sankta are the easiest racial pick, though you will be stuck as an empath till you harm one of your fellow sankta.
Every nation is shit to live in it, even without speaking Latin you can get by in Laterano, as they have people who go on missions often. So just seeking out the church, and you will find help. Lungmen is decent, even if you have to learn another language. Victora is victorian era Great Britian, exept the Irish have a necromancer leading them. Colombia will end with you raped, in debt slavery, and or being experimented on in some lab; in other words it's like modern America. Saricusa is canine girl Italy. Sagon is a shithole. Bolivar is a shithole. Rim Billiton is a shithole with hot women. Leithanien is ruled by two Angela Merkels. Yan is China. Ursus will kill you. Iberia is a lovecraftian shithole. Kazimierz is great if you like sports and horses. Kazdel makes Africa look first world. Higashi is 90's japan with hot Oni girls. Sami is Finland. Kjerag is a less gay version of scandinavia. Siesta is close to the sea. Rhodes Island is ran by a man who works himself into insanity everyday, and a young rabbit girl with a lotian love for her father (figure).
The whole setting is about as shit as a 40k setting in the modern world would be, but Terra does have hot kemonomimi which is worth the suffering.

>The premise is that you have to lose your memories in order for a full reincarnation experience.
Reincarnation in cyoag context normally means your memories are inserted into a new body. What is the 'something' that moves to a new body? The 'something' is your memories.
So if the memories aren't being inserted into the new body, how is it a reincarnation?
Nothing is being reincarnated, it's just a character creator then, like an author writing another character in a book.

It is a CYOA. There is no reveal. I have read the thing front and back before I have even selected a single choice. If I notice there are only bad endings and the whole thing is a 'trick,' that is, a foregone and unsatisfying conclusion, then I will simply not play it.

I mean to be fair, In the original concept of reincarnation from Buddhism youre not supposed to retain any of your memories unless youre the Dalai Lama or smth, All that gets transferred is your soul to the new body and then you regain your memories while in the transition stage between reincarnations so you can analyze your life and karma or smth and make decisions for your next reincarnation, Maybe im working off a more fictional version of the reincarnation system and not the original Buddhist one but eh still it can very much be reincarnation even without your memories

You couldn't get to the end of the geometric series, it has a cast time and a cost. You'd run out of mana and then the spell duration would run out.
It would also be extremely wasteful compared to just casting the spell on more people
