    Was it any good? I've never bothered with it since I dislike Jaune so much.

    Oh my. You... you didn't read the thread commentary too, did you? I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

    I liked it; Jaune was *nothing* like his canon self for a number of reasons. But it was also probably the most wild ride I've ever been on, maybe even more so than Worm.

    It began like RWBY and the Gamer and ended like a crossover between Exalted and the Kabbalah. Even sticking to the story-only thread, that was one crazy trip.

    It was fun for me, because I didn't watch RWBY back then, so I didn't know Jaune or have a mental image of him! Also because I like that biblical shit. Well, a bit, if it didn't keep escalating like DBZ, that'd be nice, but I think Ryuugi doesn't know how to not do that.

    Ryuugi has a fetish for high powered fantasy that I'd be lying if I said I didn't share at least partly, but it ruins stories that shouldn't need it. His thing Harry Potter works because of the Master of Death thing. But Jaune? Jaune is supposed to be anything but special.

    It seems like he doesn't understand this aspect of himself, especially when he takes Chinese Xianxia web novels with the same seriousness as actually editted and published works, when Xianxia is the lowest possible denominator, like if you took the story and humor out of DBZ and added more power levels. This is the worst part of high fantasy; but conversely the easiest to enjoy.

    What a dilemma.
