Yea think I'll drop this here. I agree with others about not really understanding what's going on or the significance of particular events, and the plodding nature of the story really just being a lot for spell porn it seems
Alright. Hope you find something more to your taste! Have a wonderful day

Wasn't there something about them all being wealthier than the last? Did you remove it because it affected Alchemist / Black Canary relationship too objectively?
I really do love how cheesy names of these rooms would look to players playing a computer game or reading the story casually. If you really think of this as someone's journey of divinity; filled with those before who tried before and failed, maddened, swearing to serve as they try to kill you, filled with things know your deepest fears-secrets and assorted horrors; then they sound a lot more appropriate and horrifying.
Everything looks lame and overdone in our information age out of overexposure. You really need immersion to really get the nuances.

It was cleaned up a little bit from when he originally implied that she was running out of time before even the wealthy boy-toys wouldn't find her interesting. It was received poorly for being -too- hostile. Toned back a bit, and it sounds closer to what you might expect from an unhappy teenager.

While your point is certainly correct that it was too hostile, at the same time her being implied as a gold-digger was the justification of calling her a "not a good woman". Now it looks like he call her that just because she couldn't keep a relationship.
Maybe add something to the part where he looked at her social media and all the boyfriends were shallow party people or something?

I get that, it's just not particularly engaging and dragged on for a bit too long.
I'm hoping the story gets interesting again with this finally done.

I would like to ask, could we have a list of Alchemist spells/abilities/weapons and what they do ?
Also, what does he plan to do after getting his own body back ? Just laying low and letting the heroes deal with things ?

So, Jinx is also running with a "press mental button, 'cast' spell" mechanic while she is in the party?

Gets my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.
I think it's more, that as it levels up she has to think of it less, to the point it's the same realm of say throwing a punch.

Well yeah, but from "throw them at the dragon until it levels a bunch" just feels like she spamming it to grind the numbers.

Gets my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.
But there's never the impression that she's running on a "press mental button to cast spell" type mechanic. She learned the basics of the spell down that it's no longer "Twist the Energy here. Anchor it there. Tie this end off and leave that one dangling. Pray to the forces of darkness." It's just, *Flare*.
This goes from one extreme to the other.
That said, with the current trend and the trope of two people of opposite sex who hate each other eventually falling in love, I can see shipping Dinah with Alchemist. As a bonus Alchemist can then call Jinx his daughter.

Huh, had a random thought about the Ra-Seru dungeon. It's antithetical to humans, so Alchemist is using the work around of turning into a dragon (which Jinx can also do, and I kind of want to see what kind of dragon she becomes) so does that mean he could bring the martian, the atlantian, and the kyrptonian without problems?
The Martian probably. Atlanteans however are descended from humans, and may still have issues. And the only pure Kryptonian around is Superman, the ones on the team are both Kryptonian/Human/??? hybrids, and the human parts of them may or may not cause them issues as well.
Yay!Jinx knows the dragon spell!
Sad goth girl is sad!
*sniffle* I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!!!
I'll try to get started on that.
That's a good question, and one he'll be asked in the story. Among the things he'll be doing though will be the kinds of work that would be difficult to do while looking like a little kid.
He already mentioned some of it as idle speculation a while back.
It depends entirely on the meme. The badger song? Harmless. M'gann might spread it by accident.
Narwhals? Potentially hazardous, it names a great old one in it.
He doesn't actually know the memetic disease J'onns brother Malefic made in another timeline, but it would elevate him and his brain into the realm of a genocidal threat.

It's much more interesting when you think of Jinx is a main character. This is her development arc, with Alchemist finally embracing his natural narrative role as the wise wizard in a teenage universe. I'm not sure if the parallels to classic story tropes are intentional though.
I am really enjoying the arc, but Jinx's crush on Alchemist is hard to read at times
