With the intention of ultimately crowning a cyoa of the year (And of making it easier to look back on all the contents of the year) we are to vote on the highest among them
This time I have set the poll to have an end date, and because I feel that there is a large likelyhood of strategic voting I have elected to hide the results of the poll until said date
I have also set the prefference ranking poll to start random
The first choice poll:
https://strawpoll.com/GJn44RG9Qnz
The preference poll:
https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0kbz3Bgo
You are actively encouraged to replay the cyoa's above before voting

File: i could probably remove a watermark like this but he's still cropped out on the top and left.jpg (202.5 KB)
202.5 KB JPG
Words cannot properly contain my hatred for this stupid dragon man. I have spent 3 DAYS in a row now trying to find just ONE photo of him for my CYOA that satisfies my simple criteria. Anime style, facing the viewer, fully in frame and not cropped out (or at least, only cropped at the bottom and right sides), no people/objects/difficult to remove watermarks in front of him, and at least decent quality. I originally wanted his wings fully in the frame too, but I don't care anymore, I'll just tell myself they're folded up in this photo or something. I'm going insane. I don't want to look at his stupid sexy chiseled abs anymore. I resorted to searching for art of him on INSTAGRAM today. I'm stuck in an endless nightmare from which there is no escape

>Union of kingdoms [SeaWeed salt]{WIP}
I'm not sure how to rate it, as a WIP. It seems like something I would enjoy a lot and rate highly, but taken as is it's an unplayable mess since it is, of course, a WIP, and in that practical sense it's below all the shitposty cyoas.
>>
>>
>>97648697
I think you should rate it as is. Any cyoa could be updated to some day be good and any wip could be abandoned
Although perhaps I shouldn't be putting it in the poll if a better version of the same thing is going to come out within the year. It would be bothersome to have the same cyoa in the poll twice

IMO non-fiction uses of AI (a common use case: prompting an AI to request a list of words, like a list of common insects or a list of adjectives to describe insects) can work out fine, that's what I did here as well. I'd agree AI writing is, even in the year of our Lord 2026, spectacularly bad when it comes to fiction.

I choose to be single and celibate +3
Gentle Fist*20 -20
I now have 22 fists. 20 of them are gentle but that's ok, I'll use the remaining 2 for non-gentle tasks. With all these hands I am 11 times more productive.

>>97650352
retreat, as a tier 3 spell it can't be used as a panic button because of it's long chant time, at best you waster 1 spell slot and 4 points just because you were too lazy to make the trip back up the dungeon.

>>97650608
When it says
>"casting it the second time will transport you to that spot over a matter of seconds"
I understood it mean that the second casting itself takes only seconds. Because it if meant the second casting takes long and only the trip goes fast, it wouldn't seem like a relevant detail to note.

reposting my build
>hashirama's cells {8}
regeneration, better chakra reserves and pretty sure they also give wood release.
>sage mode {3}
supercharges everything and is the only thing capable of harming the ten tails, I doubt I'm going to fight it but it never hurts to be prepared
>byakugan {1}
not as OP as the sharingan but still pretty useful and doesn't leave me completely blind after using it
>shadow clone jutsu {0}
busted ability, even without naruto's massive chakra reserves just having one extra body that can help you fight, train and learn twice as fast is a massive boon
imo the sharingan is a trap option because you will not awaken the eternal version unless you have a brother to steal their eyes
same with samehada, unless you are a junchiriki that cheating whore is going to leave you for another very soon
either way pic related, even if I went celibate it would not be anywhere near enough to match the eugenic nightmare that are this world's top threats so I will just take advantage of the peaceful start of the story to steal as many useful secret techniques as possible (seriously naruto at his most incompetent could sneak into konoha's secret vault), cheat training through shadow clones and when shit hits the fan at full power I fuck off into a deep trench until it's over.
>>

>>97650608
From a logistics perspective it sounds really great as your cutting down your supply consumption by half. At least for solo builds as I am unsure if you can teleport other people if you can then it's really amazing.

>>97650563
Hashirama Cells
Hundred Healings
Byakugam
Shadow Clone Jutsu
Gentle Fist
Sexy Jutsu
Going to go and fuck myself while hermit maxxing with my increased lifespan. Occassionally I will go out into the world for inspiration using my byakugan to check out girls.

Also you can access the stat sheet after each 3 month event. Meaning you can just dump all xp you got in month 1-9 into strength/agility/constitution and rape everyone you're up against (they don't even have access to magic yet, mind you). Losing the fire cult initiation blood ceremony is literally a severe skill issue.

You don't have to be a girl in this one. Technically you don't have to pick a body type either, it says that you MAY choose one. kukla and Lilim let you be a guy free of cost, and Fianna doesn't make you gay, just adds a pereference. I would still never choose that.
Now, does anyone remember a version of this where the green pages were horizontal instead of vertical? I remember an old version like that but I can't find it.
>>97651581
How? It's one of the few that doesn't force you to be a girl but the benefits a bit all over the place. Isn't it the minion/charisma build? I like Kukla more because you can just dump strenght and use telekinesis for everything.

Dude. Magic in this series is *meant to be potent as fuck*, enough so that a single spell can decide how a fight turns out. If Riveria casts her enormous nuke, and I intercept it, and land it on top of her and her party, they’re all pretty much dead.

You can be the specialest of snowflakes. You can straight up steal the gimmick of half the cast, and get better ones too. Metamagic is better than the canon one, Nature's Forge is better than Crozzo Blood, your spells can be unstealable by the elven scourge.

Not anymore. Crozzo’s Blood was probably made with the intent or clarifying things. To make magic swords with level 6 firepower as a level 2 you need Crozzo Blood. Not Nature’s Forge.

Cope why? I like the CYOA it's just shittily-balanced, and I assume most of it is on purpose. It fits the tone of appearing in a strange alien world most of the time but making entire sections of content inaccessible is just bad design.

> There is nothing in the cyoa itself that makes you think Nature's forge is weaker,
It costs two less points? Also Crozzo Blood specifically calls out that you can make Magic Swords, Nature's Forge doesn't.

But you're individually weaker. And there are other ways to extend your lifespan later.
>>97651721
Cambiare too. To be precise Cambiare genderswaps you, so in the pretty much impossible case you are a girl already it would turn you into a guy. Otherwise it's another forced girl option. And Fianna has you choose between being a girl or being gay.
>>
>>
>>
>>97651815
The implication is that you need Crozzo’s blood to make those highly potent magic swords of his. From a lore perspective this is still weird since the Nature’s Forge ability nonetheless mentions it being a gift from a spirit. If it was a greater spirit then this should mean it’s as potent as Crozzo’s Blood. For all intents and purposes we shouldn’t interpret it that way.
>>
>>
>>97651809
>And Fianna has you choose between being a girl or being gay.
No, it doesn't. You'll have a preference for your own gender no matter what but you can just ignore that or pick the opposite gender motivation if you think you can't.
>But you're individually weaker
Entirely depends on your build

Crozzo’s blood? For Welf only. You are NOT a Crozzo.

Its still pay 10 points to do nothing interesting in the cyoa. It's a point deficit for gimping yourself in the setting where the actual shakers and movers are adventurers and gods are just the middle managers that don't even get to go into the dungeon or have actual power.

Yes, high level adventurers can defeat entire familias of lower level ones in canon. Objectively gods are weaker than adventurers and don't even get to interact with any of the main draws of the setting. Even the 10 cost god ability in god of beauty is ignored by a single simple skill.

I thought of switching to Door at s3 because Fool's s3 ritual takes too long, but it seems that s3 Door is absolutely terrible without its s5. Does Wandering work without Traveler's Door? What use is Space Integration if you can't go to the places it would activate?
It seems that the only choice is to switch to Error at s3.

Its embarrassing to suck an authors dick so hard you're accepting playing the weaker class with a nerfed point total. Literally cannot beat adventurers, cannot go into the dungeon, and cannot do anything an adventurer can do and job to them if they ever turn on you. If you're content to rationalize being in the cuck chair this hard I guess you deserve it.

Helps with gathering energy for sage mode, observing people to copy techniques, shortening training time, and is just generally useful overall.

Same thing as before,Being a primarily dungeon family that will probably have feelers into everything I can, I'm just here grow my power, get bitches, and have fun. I'll take over the world at some point, but for now I'm content to play the game and grow my familia. I've land and a massive income plus profitability from the dungeon and a welcoming familia with an affinity for amazons and the non-human races, and anyone can join so long as they submit to my rule. I'll try to foster an accepting and decently honorable environment in my organization, and I look forward to getting the monstergirls whenever the Xenos start getting revealed, I'll probably be a primary supporter of them. I could add multiplayer if anybody actually wanted to join me, but I doubt anyone does.

Nta, the author of Danmachi said that the whole anime takes about a year, which means that the end of the world is also in about a year. If you start at canon time you have a 1 year time limit before the world ends, or Bell saves it if you don't fuck it up for him.

I don't know who the top couple are, but the bottom one is utter chaos.The mom is technically a virgin, because the boy she fell in love with was terminally ill so before he died she got the hospital to artificially impregnate her with his kid so she had something to remember him by. I don't remember exactly but they may not even have kissed, not while alive at least.

>whatever bad thing happens
That's the dragon, that's the bad thing that happens. And the dragon can be the last man standing. It's like joining in the last 5 minutes of a match or something, everyone else has been playing for hours and you show up when they are about to clean the table and go to sleep. Also you can still lose.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>97653214
What do you not understand? The game has a timer, you show up when it's about to run out. It's pretty easy to understand.
Also, the game isn't PvP, it's PvPvE. The dungeon is clearly a participant as much as the gods are, and the dungeon can win. It's been implied that it would be pretty bad for the gods too if the dungeon wins.
>>
>>97653171

Three giant monsters escaped from the dungeon in ancient times. Zeus and Hera familias killed two of them and failed to kill the third fifteen years before canon. The third is a giant dragon which being held back by a seal that expires probably around the end of the year, which is apocalyptic for the mortal world and is maybe part of some unexplained war between gods and the dungeon.

>>97653214
>>97653233
If it makes it easier to understand think about it like one of those MMO custom server that operate on a season format. Each season all characters get reset and you have to start from scratch. What you are doing is showing up a couple days before the season ends when everyone else has been playing for months.

I think the reason that guy fails to grasp the gravity of the situation is that he made a god build. He thinks that no matter what he's gonna be fine and just go back to heaven if killed. He doesn't get that the dungeon may be more than just a tool for a challenge between gods and that losing can have dire consequences even as a god.

Ok so after looking it up and reading around, the series hasn't even finished, and we know that level 8-9s can hurt it (and that in all likelihood its a level 10). I've also discovered that no, the dungeon itself is not actually a threat and that gods are fully capable of literally modifying their followers falna to win and leveling them up, but doing so would be boring.
From the light novel apparently:
You gonna talk or what? It couldn’t be…that you used our powers to do
it, could it?”
“O-of course I didn’t! I would never!”
By “used our powers,” Loki was, of course, referring to the use of
Arcanum, the power of the gods, to “mod” her follower’s structure—an
accusation that was more to stir the pot than one that had any real substance.
Loki knew all too well.
The moment that gods began breaking rules and used their Arcanum to
mod their followers was the moment everything would become completely
and utterly boring. All they had to do was make a few changes and the most powerful familia in the world would be theirs.
Nothing would have meaning anymore. It was an act that
would defile the very game they’d created in this world, and the entire thing
would lose its splendor for her and everyone else.
So no, the world is probably not going to die, and the game wont end since monsters can be remade, and the other big monsters can also probably be remade, AND the great game is explicitly made by the gods for entertainment, so beating the quests most likely will not end the game.
ALSO ALSO literally over half the gods only came down like 50 or less years ago according to the timelines I can find. So at worst I should go back like 20-30 years, especially since anything of relevance will have happened within that timeframe since its the current adventurers and such that do the actual thing. If you're a god playing the game, you should be trying to raise your own powerful familia and bell (golden child).
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>97653409
The gods aren't in danger, but the rest of the cast very much still is. Just because Zeus Almighty on Olympus High is going to survive the end of days doesn't mean that, you know, most of the fucking planet (and the main characters) won't die. It just won't impact him when it does.
>>
>>97653416
The dungeon permakilling gods is in itself not contradictory to anything said there. The dungeon being a fuckhead does not at the end of the day mean its actually a threat to the gods (well, except whoever was the poor saps who got eaten by the dungeon), just a threat to the game.
>>
>>97653001
>>97653386
So in knowing this now, I'm not sure if I should go back 50 years which will end in most of my cast being old, or if I should only go back like 20-30. Either way, with golden child and the companions all having really high potential, my familia could help the zeus and hera familias kill the monsters and we'd most likely succeed, especially if we consider the golden child to be a "bell" equivalent character. 10 years before canon is a fine time except the golden child might only be like 15 or something by the time of canon, which is a bit young. The main problem with any potential time is leveling familia members.
>>
>>97652384
The cowardly trio pathways in general can be very dangerous or time consuming to advance in at high levels. Fool S2, S1, and S0 rituals aren't too bad but Door S1 & S2 rituals/acting force you to put yourself at massive risk of GOO corruption, Error S2 ritual is time-consuming at best and extremely suicidal at worst, and Door/Error S0 rituals all rely on other gods/people ascending to godhood.
Also I'm not sure how the Error S0 ritual would work if you stole the apotheosis of someone in a non-compatible pathway. Do you go insane on the spot or what? If so, you'd have to wait for or groom a Door/Fool god for the best results. Talk about tedious
>>
>>97653596
Even if you only replace a normal person, S2 Error's ritual only needs a minimum of 3 years. 3 years is nothing, really. You probably won't even finish digesting your s3 characteristic by the time you're done.

Honestly things are looking a lot better for humanity in this scenario. The veil will be "carefully" peeled back over the years so we won't be dealing with S1 continent busters right from the start.

You don't have to actually complete their ritual in the Error s0 advancement, just replace them for their ritual, you could just help an ally for it to advance them and you simultaneously.
Obviously completing a Fool or Door is still the best as you could become a dual S0 Error and Fool/Door, to help you attain the Lord of Mysteries Pillar power.

>>
>>
>>
>>
>>97654011
That's not how it works. A GOO waking or reviving strengthens their mental imprints. If they never woke, then their mental imprints can only be weaker because they weaken with time. If our of the chronology of the universe is correct, they have been weakening for 13.863 billion years. That is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than the time after they woke and died in canon, so their mental imprints must be super weak In Modern Day.

Well it's just that in most CYOAs waifus already love you as a matter of course.

Question: if the Generation you pick determines how strong you are/will be from the get-go, why choose anything other than Ancestor?

Yeah? Starting at an earlier generation still ends with you reaching that limit anyway. Might as well skip a few centuries or so.

Nothing's stopping you from adventuring as an OP old bastard.

Fair enough.

How? The rule of not exceeding your max realm seems pretty rigid. I'll be honest, I haven't read the CYOA in a while and just brought it up now since I'm finally making a build for it.

Thanks!

That rule is just about the level you can start with using the cyoa. You can go further (if you aren't an ancestor), and all Sovereigns are in fact grade 11.
Also I should point out that this cyoa is from mcyoag, not here, so powergaming is less of an expectation.

What do you think the Musician profession do, make people feels emotion ?
I was thinking of taking it as a mortal savant soul cultivator but have an hard time visualising the effects, maybe make stage 10 feels for better quality spirituality ?
Also taking mortal savant treasure refiner since they can craft spirituality, and having a lot of treasure really boost the firepower of a soul cultivator.
