Just want to say I love the interaction between Dreamer Taylor and the Fates, QA and Tiona was fun too.

I second this. There is something very fun about a story that makes you not worry too much about power levels, because the character interactions are just so fun. I worried a little that the Fate were going to be a problem for the story, but I really like how they've been introduced. Obviously competent and capable as gods, but so completely done with this bulls**t that is their workload.

I also see Dreamer living to regret helping the gods lower their workload. First she helps the Fates, then she has all three visiting her dream realm because of the free booze and entertainment, ya know? Then the other gods left in heaven look over, and demand/beg for help fixing their work overload, and pretty soon Dreamer is automating everything in heaven, and the gods are all sitting around drinking dream booze and having dream parties and watching the lower world through the dream. Meanwhile Dreamer Taylor will wondering why she ever helped as she pretty much rules heaven now by virtue of doing all the real work and supplying all the booze.

Soon the gods below try to throw their weight around again, and one activated their Arcanum to show "I ain't scared of no Spirit's Curse!" and is immediately zapped back to heaven before they can do anything because said Spirit also runs all of heaven now.

You know, if she does end up automating heaven, then they essentially have a knock-off version of Yggdrasil and the Ultimate Force from A!MG being developed here, with Dreamer Taylor taking the place of the Sysadmin.

That's why the correct solution is to never stop drinking.

Please that joke really isn't funny. I have known someone like that. Abandoned her kids, her job. For all I know she is dead somewhere at this point. We tried to help, but in the end all we can do is help her kids.

Edit: Never mind. Not really on topic.

I've known people who ultimately self-destructed from drinking, too. But just as different people find different things funny, different people also have different ways of coming to terms with problems. Dark humor is on that list. You might've heard people say "We laugh, because the alternative is to cry?" Well... yeah. If it makes people happy, I recommend leaving it alone.

Plus, in my anecdotal experience (I grew up around a bunch of people in AA), alcoholics are actually some of the most likely people to make jokes at their own expense. For example: "People say that drinking with a hangover is bad. That's wrong. You're supposed to stay so drunk that the morning after never catches up."
 
Oh lordy, Taylor is gonna end up the bartender/drinking buddy of the Fates.

If she is not careful shes going to plagued with a garden full of overworked drunken office worker goddesses vomiting in the bushes and passing out on her lawn.
 
*blinks* But if Taylor's falna is affected by how 'hard' a task is what the hell does automating Fate's looms count as? How surprised is Hestia going to be when she updates QA's back after? (Taylor! No! You were supposed to be my sane child! What are you doing?!?)

Also, I'm pretty sure most of their growth is due to Taylor at this point (going into the scary part of the forest to save a family that isn't hers.). But I'm thinking if falna growth happens from pushing yourself then every time QA 'humans' would create growth. Maybe Taylor just hijacked QA's falna growth from making friends (not Friends) to create their skills.

Rarely are jokes tasteless, more often are they are simply not up to your tastes.

Beside as far as life lessons goes, when you see someone drunk out of his mind literaly swim in shit after the toilet broke down you really start to think that absolutely everything make no damn sense anyway, that everything is hilarious and you really need to get used to it.
 
Moving on: It looks like the next chapter will finally show the Friends in the Dungeon. There might be a Freya interlude either before or after that, though.

EDIT: Just encounter rolls~

Title: It's not wrong to make Friends in the Dungeon (Danmachi / Sanctioned [Worm])

I don't know about that... but it's definitely not wrong to make Friends outside the dungeon! QA's already made two after all (Sir Kara and Lady Sable).
 
She needs the core crystal from the Black Goliath that invaded Floor 18, that thing was the size of a building, how many Friends could she make with it?

That's like asking how many licks it takes to get to the center of a certain lollipop brand. The answer is always "As many as it takes for you to get impatient and bite it all off at once."

It means his Falna was structured normally. You get a Spell slot and a Skill slot and a Basic Ability slot because it's a character sheet. Being talented or not has nothing to do with how the Grimoire operates or how it got into his hands (saving that the responsible party could be said to be interested in him in part due to that talent.)

Nope. Tiona has no spells but it doesn't say she has a slot like Bells did.

D'aww.

It's nice to know that QA's forming a healthy relationship with Hestia.

Its really heartwarming and kind of terrifying at the same time, Hestias first child immediately imprinted on her and values her to the point that she would literally tear down the heavens to get her back.
The fact that she could very likely succeed with that is the part that makes it terrifying.
