Sunbird she/her Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 17 hours ago, ScarletSabre said: The ShadowMaster - Villains Rule Hide contents A charismatic scumbag does what we'd all do, or like to do, if given the chance to cross into a fantasy universe that follows the rules. Decide that it's time to exploit every loophole and trope in fantasy for profit and amusement, all while insulting and threatening the reader for funsies. Ok this "bad" plot summary sounds like something I would actually love to read. How accurate is it?
Quickbronze he/him Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Pretty accurate, based on the amazon preview. It's very adult though, and has a lot of swearing, just FYI.

Yeah, on reflection that wasn't so much as explaining it badly as just explaining it. And yeah, it's pretty damnation adult, be warned. Though the audible version is rather hilarious when it gets meta and Spoiler starts messing with the narrator himself.
AonEne he/him Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Does it do that in the book form as well? Who's the author?

Angsos Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Ishar, I wish I could give more than one upvote for It's a Trap!
AonEne he/him Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) It's a trap! Child safety locks! But we are neither children nor safe! How did I miss doing this? Why haven't I done it already?!?!?! *takes a deep, shuddering breath* RWBY Volume Three: Pyrrha's Arc Spoiler A girl fights people while in school, and no one gets mad at her. Rather, the headmaster recruits her for some deeds of questionable morality, causing her to attack her boyfriend, murder a young girl, and bring about the downfall of the entire city. She is also tortured and killed while fighting a transfer student who attempted to kill (and succeeded in killing) the headmaster for imprisoning an unconscious woman to use in experiments. (Just for the record, I love Oz and trust him for the most part. This is just for the humor.) (I'm going to draw this out and SAVOR it. Also so that other people can do some too and I don't steal it all.) Edited June 18, 2018 by AonEne 4
