WillyFourEyes/Waltzoid's Journal

Yeah, I know it's a fool's effort for me to keep bashing my head against Savior King trying to make sense of its particular brand of logic. I already read 51 chapters, which covers half the story (more than half if going by raw word count), but the damn thing is (stuck on) 106 chapters long. And since I made the far-too-late decision not to read any more of this crap, my only other viable option is to read TV Tropes spoilers, and, well...if you were as disappointed as I was after reading the academy arc and were holding out hope that the war arc would be more exciting...don't.

(WARNING: Expect a lot of disorganized rambling and ranting from yours truly beyond this point. Also, the usual content warnings regarding Savior King itself apply just as much as they did before.)

( Why, yes...it does get worse. MUCH worse. )

( And what have I learned from all this? )

Me, that's who.

Four months after I said I'd sworn off Savior King, I picked it up again to see just how much stupider it could get from Chapter 31's "Dimitri goes berserk and kills a bunch of villagers from Remire" plot point.

"Very", okay? The answer is "very".

I originally wanted to do a full-on chapter-by-chapter review of this fanfic for das_sporking, but I changed my mind, citing to myself time constraints (I only get a few free hours after work to read, leaving little time to write a detailed critique), so I've taken to Discord to roast this thing with a few friends. Any further SK updates on this blog will only be for chapters that gave me especially big headaches.

Like Chapter 38, for example.

( Spoilers for a character death that really isn't )
