![]() ![]() I’ve seen a few spelling mistakes but that’s easily forgiven and don’t really lower the high quality of text. This ability is certainly inhibited in stories suffering from poor narration by breaking the pacing and confusing the reader, but thankfully this is not the case here. Indeed, it is crucial for forming an emotional attachment to the tale. Proper grammar is something I’m extremely fond of, as it should serve as a tool for accurately describing events and conjuring emotions in the reader. A wide vocabulary and mastery of language makes it easy to digest and won’t distract you from what’s going on. It's detailed and rich with content and always being reminded that at the end of the day it's just a game sullies the whole thing and makes it less enjoyable. The author builds up this incredibly exciting atmosphere that conjures a dark fantasy setting and tells a tale of an epic struggle of higher powers, but what value does that hold when it’s all a game? Not much, and that’s why I can’t give the story more than 3 stars.įinally, the game world in itself feels extremely alive. Where’s the challenge when you can always respawn? What purpose does epic conflicts have when there’s really nothing except some bits of data on a server at stake? It’s such a shame because I think the tale of betrayal and revenge and the world and its lore itself holds tremendous promise and potential, but by knowing it’s a game it’s weird to see not just Frank but others as well take it so seriously. He lives and breathes this universe and it comes across as odd and a bit off-putting when we all know that it’s only a game. I’ll talk about it more in the character section of my review, but Frank almost thinks of the game as a second reality. The huge problem I have with the entire thing is the VRMMO element. There are some extremely promising concepts and options presented to the main character (henceforth called Frank), hinting at fate harboring epic battles and world-changing events for him. Story: It’s your average VRMMO story but driven through revenge, stealth and underhanded tactics as forced by selecting the road less traveled. It feels neither too fast or too slow, and my compliments goes to the author for nailing that part. The pacing is very good too and have a good balance between action, character development and general progression. The author has a way with words that nurtures your imagination and drags you into the story. Style: It’s a pleasant read and perhaps most importantly it’s extremely easy to vividly imagine what’s happening. The pacing is great and the characters feels unique with their own set of personalities. The author has a strong mastery of the English language and uses this skill with great effect at portraying events and emotions alike. So far, the closest I've gotten to a functional solution was using the first reactor to also fuse the methane into NH3, and then use fusion in the last reactor to create flourine (unbinding one hydrogen to later be bonded into H2) - however, I can't find a way to then get the nitrogen needed to complete the compound, running out of space and/or bonders.ĭoes anyone have any tips for how to tackle this? My latest idea has been to unbond a hydrogen in the first reactor (producing a repeating output pattern of NH2 and H) to save a step in the final reactor, but I haven't yet had time to test this.Chapter 13 - Setting Fire to sleeping GiantsĬhapter 26 - An Attempt to tip the Scalesĭon't Fear the Reaper - Christmas Special ![]() This leaves me with a pipe of methane, a single reactor, and needing H2 and NF3. However, "Don't fear the reaper" (last assignment on Atropos Station) has been giving me a headache, trying to cram everything into just 3 reactors.įrom what I've attempted so far, I first have one reactor to split the methane between the two outputs based on control, and one of these feeds into another reactor that then sends the methane to the laser rotation inputs based on control. I bought Spacechem a couple days ago with the sale, and have been loving the intense challenges. ![]() Edit - I've now solved the level, you can read about my solution in this comment. ![]()
