I find it strange that the MC hasn't bumped into a realization about Cauldron with this. That really ought to have happened already

I think that Cauldron's shadow will be discovered after the S9 are defeated and when Survey is free to set up a continent-wide surveillance net. But all it would take is a stray power vial or a detectable Doormaker portal to catch his attention.

Legend is probably going to be their first move communication-wise when the S9 are defeated.

Realitu upgrades worry me,because they are repeteable and have no cap

Past a certain point it feels redudant
For example take the upsize ones

Waiting 2 months for a roll just to get "and now the systems sized plane filled with nothing,is now bigger but still unused as always" is just padding the wordcount that is not relevant to the story nor will ever be so

With 5 to 10 of the things,it will reach the point where we will have to wait a year or so to get a narrative relevant roll

I would reccomend having a "after buying repeteable home upgrade perks a X amount of times,further repeats become free and instead you re-roll" to avoid getting stuck

The entire point of them though is to slow down the Forge. Even with all those repeated upgrades, Roust still had to nerf Joe's point gain just to actually be able to make plot progress.
 
Non-Joe perspectives are like poking back out of the event horizon for a gasp of air - they force a small amount of in-universe time to move forward normally instead of continuing to approach zero. Looking forward to more of it.

Basic Accommodations (Personal Reality) 50:
This provides minimalist accommodations for you and each companion. Essentially the same thing you'd get in Basic Training in the military. A barracks with a bunk and a locker and a camp toilet. If you bought Plumbing, this improves to include a communal shower and toilets. In fact, someone need not be a companion for this to work. Anyone you allow into your Personal Reality will be allotted a similar level of basic living quarters, thus allowing you to turn your Personal Reality into a refugee center if you like. If you have Basic Nutrition, this will provide any such guests as you may invite into your Personal Reality with very basic food equal to 1200 Kcal a day, totally vegetarian. This can support up to a maximum of 1 person for every 4 cubic meters of space in your warehouse per day.

Basic Nutrition (Personal Reality) 100:
This option provides a basic (if minimalist) food delivery for you and all companions (metered for a normal human dietary requirement). This delivery comes once a week and is the kind of thing you'd buy on a very strict budget; Ramen, Peanut Butter, Generic Cereal, Dry Beans, Eggs, Tofu, Fresh Common Fruits & Veggies, Canned Fruits & Veggies, Dry Pasta, Salt, Pepper, Milk, Bottled Water, Rice, Flour, Butter, Barley, etc. (Note, you cannot sell the Salt or Pepper for money.) Essentially the purchasing power of 50 dollars US a week per person.

So, in chapter 96 Breakthrough, Joe got the Basic Accommodations perk, and in this one he got Basic Nutrition (and its upgrades). Combined, he can now house, water and feed 1 person for every 4 cubic meters of his warehouse, which is the size of a continent now, I think? Regardless, even if he and the rest of the crew did nothing to make that better, the Celestial Forge could likely house, feed and water everyone in the city.

I imagine that between Joe's various production perks and things like Star Trek replicators, let alone having the Matrix handle it, he could have done so anyway, yet I am still kinda surprised that Joe didn't mention that perk combo. For completeness' sake, if nothing else. There may be some way to take advantage of that, after all.

Tybalt had to once again be talked from seeing how much Jet it was possible to take before you started to warp the fabric of space time around you.

"Weld, Flechette." He said in greeting, his casualness at odds with the significance of his sudden appearance. "I was hoping we could have a chance to talk."

Thank you for the chapter and i am so fucking excited for the next one.
 
Someone on AO3 mentioned how Addictol might be able to help zizbombs.

I'm curious if they could help with more normal human master victims, specifically the types like Heartbreaker or Valefor.
 
Hey we get to see more of Joe's family eventually. Fun times are incoming. And that's without the S9 ordeal that'll likely eat up another three months of life :V
 
Toriko has the most fantastical food I have seen in any series like Mitarashi Dango Planet which is literally entire planets that are edible and skewered like dango.🍡

It would be interesting if he orders food from there, although I am not sure if you can get anything interesting on a budget of 300 USD.
 
I am glad to see Joe dealing with more character stuff than more perks. This is what I read the fanfic for!!!!

Thank you Roust for this chapter. We may moan and cry whenever it gets delayed, but we always appreciate it when we get it :)
