Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
[X] Thousand Roots Enduring

Just TRE on it's own is enough of a tree pun for me.

[X] Myriad Roots Succession

Kinda losing track of all new options, but Evergreen Succession is kinda bland. It's lacking some adjective or complement, otherwise it's too simple.
And anything but turning the art's name into a meme. It's not even a good one.

[X] Myriad Roots Succession
[X] Legacy of the Broken Pillar

Also pitching back to the Broken Pillar idea.
People are fixating too much on LQ not having a direct relation to it, when the name comes from the art's origing. That which it's embodying.

Here's a current tally.
Adhoc vote count started by BurnNote on Jun 13, 2024 at 8:01 AM, finished with 250 posts and 108 votes.

It's pretty split up, and the lead for the first option is not too large.
 
And here's a version with names of the same "theme" collated, to see which overall theme gets the most buy-in. The individual vote with the highest count gets all other votes added to it. Tried my best to be fair in the association, but there's probably choice you can argue with.

I honestly prefer million to myriad here, myriad feels too vague for me.
 
[X] Legacy of the Broken Pillar
[X] Thousand Roots Enduring Evergreen

Evergreen Succession is the blandest technique name I've heard suggested in this entire thread.
 
[X] Roots of Paradise
[X] Myriad Roots Succession
[X] Thousand Roots Enduring Eternity (abbreviates to TREE)
 
I come back to the thread and see this "Evergreen Succession" winning this much? Pretty surprising, its such a bad sounding name
[X] Legacy of the Broken Pillar
[X] Thousand Roots Enduring Evergreen

Evergreen Succession is the blandest technique name I've heard suggested in this entire thread.
Thank you!!
Tbh, I was so shocked to read this and find so many votes for such a lame name. Although Roots of Paradise is also just as bland. All the other options are better even if some of them are a mouthful.

Personally, I much prefer bland and forgettable to trying way too hard. Some names feel like they're inches away from coming with multiple exclamation points, and actively make me want to roll my eyes.

I know that might be the vibe that a lot of the genre tends toward sometimes, but we don't exactly have the "it sounds better in the original language" excuse for clunky phrasing or technique names here. We can use subtlety or secondary meanings, and in fact make a habit of it; half our puns come with a very genuine secondary meaning for Ling Qi.

We named our dress "Qi's clothes", but in a way that referenced it being a permanent reminder that we would have to dethrone Shenhua. Evergreen Succession might be taken to mean "another pine tree" but it also means "the endless vital force of life re-emerging changed but unbowed after calamity", and I don't much care if only Ling Qi and Zhengui understand that.

..spent too much deciding on what I liked best, so I stopped deciding on one.
Obviously I am enamored with Root Rebirth but not the adjective^^.
