Hopefully it doesn't, because Anna is presented in the Quest as an unstoppable force of nature against Antagonists.

She also probably has spare body parts, and she doesn't use her organs aside from her head meats anyway.

He's the Protagonist of a Harem Anime, something is going to prove to be too much for Anna, at which point Kojirou will finally get his ultimate weapon and single-handedly win the war to protect the girls he loves, possibly at the (stated to be permanent, but actually turns out to be temporary) loss of his ability to pilot a Valk or something similar. Earning Anna's respect and eternal adoration in the process through Saving The Girl.

That's how it works.

I prefer how he gained Anna's affection point in the quest: he promised her that he will not get hurt by her.

"C'mon Anna, ask."

…He's lost you.

"Ask what?"

Koujirou pouts, then with a slight sigh continues, "Ask me what you won't do."

Alright…?

"I won't do what?"

"Hurt me. You won't."

A startled laugh escapes you at the ironic echo and Koujirou makes a small fist pumping motion at that.

You nod slightly at that. It was… nice that Koujirou didn't blame you for his injury, that he was still kind to you. Nice but… strange.

…You felt light. Almost floaty.

Really, for someone with Survivor's Guilt, he just made her day with those words.

Of course; Kojirou has to max out Anna's affection points prior to The Big Moment, otherwise he gets friendzoned instead. [BAD END]

He is trying to steal Anna from QA, quick, ask symbie to upgrade your body into a terror drone model, this way you can make sure Anna can't hurt you.

Bad for who, not for QA I am telling you.

Some of the CC was actually debating whether or not they should name their Friends after the Mane Six. They opted against it to avoid conflicting with search algorithms and so that there wouldn't eventually be a Fluttershy covered in the blood of her enemies.

No, that's how it's broken. :p

:confused: whyever would anyone want 2.5k less of Sanctioned?!

So long as the quality keeps bloat away I say!

It didn't, which is why I cut it :p. It was basically entirely QA asking questions and being a min/maxing Creature of Knowledge. It'll probably still be inflicted on you at some point, but for pacing reasons it won't be in one giant chunk.

Goddamn super secret Hard Mode routes that require making every choice perfectly right without any sign of success or failure until the yandere suddenly ganks you. :V

Depending on the route, the yandere attempting to gank you may be due to a success. :V


"Why? Why would you do any of this? I thought you liked Perth! Loved it, even!"

Taylor floated among the ruins with a look of dispassionate serenity.

"I told you I could give you everything you ever needed."

"That—you can't have destroyed Perth just because you could assume its roles, right?"

"Indeed, I did not. You needed worthy opponents."

"Wait, what? That doesn't even make any sense! What about Anna? She's already brutal!"

"Elaboration: I didn't mean you specifically needed worthy opponents. I meant humans in general. Why would I care about you?"

"...Is-is this a retcon? What kind of a shitty director do we have, anyway?"

Aww, that sounds great, and I for one want to read that. QA being a little munchkining creecher of really in-depth but scattered knowledge is honestly one of the best parts of reading QA's perspective.

I'm excited to hear this.

I'm more on board with QA deciding that Anna specifically needs a Worthy Opponent.

Lol, considering her power levels, QA would probably have to bust out her main body to actually be considered a worthy opponent to her.

As someone said, love knows no borders, it transcends race, creed, gender, dimensions, uh, different sentient species(?).

Koji is begining to realize the universe does not revolve around him sooner than most teenagers.

Um. Except. On the one hand, that would normally be a wise and proper realization, but in this particular case, the universe does revolve around him. He's the main character. So is he wise for realizing he's not the center of the universe, or is this just more Moron for being completely wrong? :confused:

Also I feel the need to add that I don't particularly mind these flaws because I also like the side stories. An Alivaril update is still easily the highlight of my week.

That... isn't a meme already? I could have sworn that was a meme already.

Though now I have to wonder if one didn't end up named 'Purple Smart' just to subvert the whole "we won't do that" thing. :p

He's a harem protagonist, so the answer is always 'moron' no matter the question.

Symbie is getting attached to valks partly because Taylor and QA have different opinions on whether humans count as people automatically or not and is splitting the difference. She's handing out some info that's probably kinda sorta not meant to be handed out because watching people who might actually count as people suffer and die is distressing.

Sure, but when/how did Symbie get into contact with several hundred Valkyries in the first place?

They've been poking the voids in Pegacorn-Friend designs and establishing connections that way.

I'm vaguely surprised that more efforts haven't been made in that area. I mean, the whole mind-upload void. It goes without saying having backups of your Valks would be.. priceless is almost a weak word here. Since they know it's a thing now with the (probably) sapient Friends. Or at least conjecture; is the uplink a thing all Cores can do, or is it unique to Symbie? I mean, since Symbie is totally a normal Core who's just quirky, right? Let's try to bribe her for designs, or even upload space!

Then again they probably are trying something and it's just not being shown.

I believe they already know how to make a duplicate/backup brain and keep it in core-storage. There are issues with the 'backup' approach which don't apply to the 'remote body' approach, though.

No, Valk central nervous system once damaged can not be restored without data loss. Author does not want to get into the massive implications and consequences of upload tech I am sure, he is already dealing with transhumanism and that's hard enough on its own.

That's what sidestory/apocrypha is for. 2.5k words is 2.5k words and since it's already written I'd love to to read about QA asking random questions for the purpose of munchkinry even if it's non-cannon.
