Honkai: Star Rail Discussion Thread

fair enough i guess

inverse square law phantylia nuking everyone to 6-A
The star thing is still ridiculous tho lol. Like I cant even blame the redditors for having an issue with chainscale stuff and whatever, because its pretty obvious Shaoji himself is purely vibescaling. Like theres no standard for power except “random cosmic level” and stuff. So like, I don’t even really care what ya’ll do with ts honestly, cuz the actual validity of it entirely depends on how our chinese yuri author is feeling every 1.5 months.

Still nowhere close to GoW tho 😶‍🌫️

how shaoji writes: OMG HIGHER REALITY INFINITE TRANSENDENTAL BEING THAT CONTROLS ALL OF CAUSALITY AND CAN DESTROY ANYTHING

how strong he thinks they are: "this bum cant even blow up a ******* town yo"

Ay man, I know you think LoTM is a battleboarding verse, but in the case that you are in fact talking about it, I assure you it’s borderline the most consistent verse power-wise in this entire website. And I’m not even being hyperbolic here.
 
yea because every time we eat eaten by the moon we magically end up in the courtyard... makes you wonder huh
i forgot about that but remember that when we returned back from it the moon came with us as well and we just kinda teleported with it behind us. it also has all the wishpower in the arcadia so it could've just teleported us to the courtyard.

sorry. i mean it probably is.

on a real note, i just find it a bit difficult to understand what could be happening or what could be so interesting about everyone being at those levels. don't things end up becoming a bit... wordy? in the sense that isn't it a bit "uhhh" when theres no physical rules so you need entire pages of explanation to realize who is winning or who pulled what out of their behind? i generally find that most fantasy media that end up in the inevitable scaling escalation lose some of the traits that ground the story and make it easier to connect with. i only say that cuz ive read some passages from stuff you've posted.

It's not like that with LoTM. 99% of the fights are around building to city block level. Even the biggest feat in the entirety of Book 1 is actually a supernova that happens at the very end. It's just that a lot of these feats are "implicitly H1A+" even if you dont realize it due to the mysticism or ontology of the verse, which sometimes acts moreso as just background exposition without being crucial to the story at all.

I mean, this guy is "H1A+" btw:
The Goddess of Fate was nearly sucked into the massive black hole created by Supernova Dominator. Only by weaving Her own fate was She able to evade the pull and reach the edge of its influence unscathed. However, She could no longer perceive the fates within that dark region.

The "H1A+" God tiers of the verse btw:
At the level of the Great Old Ones, it was possible to respond to prayers across the universe and exert influence on it as a whole. However, in actual combat, the immediate area of effect was usually limited to a single star system or the radiation zone of a black hole. This level of influence was mainly achieved by reality-oriented symbolisms like those of Supernova Dominator or Calamity of Destruction.

Though the conceptual shit gets really ******* wack in some places, youre correct in that. Klein's Apotheosis Ritual is lwk about as convoluted as Project Stigma, but unlike with Shaoji's writing, you can actually comprehend wtf is going on after a reread or two.

hmm i hear u.

i did want to read it a some point out of curiosity but i found that the writing style and formatting didn't seem very "neat" for lack of a better word and... i guess ill say stiff? i am sure its a translation issue but it makes it hard to forego. i am surprised no publishing company has taken it and polished it better. it seems cool conceptually.

tyler would SNAP on this just throw it over on some 808s kanye style and boom good to go
 
Will this gonna be confirmation that ZZZ is in Honkai Universe.. Even though it's just a collab. I remembered somewhere that ZZZ's team productions says ZZZ were not in Honkai Universe just like the others "yet." So this collab could be the starting point where they "could" confirm it.

We already have ZZZ in the updated Hoyoverse cosmology blog

This?
It should be noted that any other games that are not part of the main Hoyoverse Honkai metaseries will not be included in this post; the following games being Tears of Themis, Zenless Zone Zero, and FlyMe2TheMoon -- neither of those franchises has been confirmed to share the same canoncity.

Edit: nevermind you said blog.

Edit: nevermind you said blog.
Basically we had our own arguments like
Ether energy literally being similar to Honkai Energy with their moon also corrupted
Expies
and Hoyo CEO saying all games are in the Honkai Universe

This one its explicitly spelling it out loud that they're in the Honkai Universe. This also confirmed ZZZ is a leaf world on the Imaginary Tree because Pom Pom is there. Their leaf world is either the size of a Galaxy or Universe

Cuttlefish uses a pretty mechanical tone in his writing. It’s a pretty common critique, yea. Though that’s also because LoTM is a Webnovel, so that level of polish isn’t expected due to the nature of how the work is published in the first place. And also introducing the various issues of the TL after that, the prose generally becomes a common issue people have. But, uh, it’s not as if you can’t get used to it anyways. Id you read through the series in bulk (the way you’re supposed to read it as a WN), you won’t really notice it after the beginning.
