Journal Entry: Day 3
My 3rd day in another world was both longer and shorter than the previous two. I spent 5 hours after midnight, or around that long according to me, clearing rooms full o monsters. Because I am saving the battery on my phone and can’t keep checking every time I want to know the time I have to often guess. And with every phone having a clock, who wears a watch nowadays? I sure don’t, not even a smart watch. When I woke up the next day, if I slept for 8 hours like I normally do, then it would have been 13 o’clock. Today I conducted a few experiments with a few of my cards, other than just using them to murder everything in my path to the exit. I also levelled my occupation enough to be able to summon 3 star creatures, which was big help. So, here is what I found about my cards and some other things. Different cards count with different Summoning methods. Dian Keto is a Spell card, but because of its name is counted as a minor God, which is Epic rank Summoning skill. Remedy is also a Spell card, but is counted as a Plant Summoning. Then there is Insect, Creature, which a lot of things fall under, Beast, Spell, Machine, Item, Curse, Seal and I presume many others. I hadn’t spend time to figure out the levelling mechanic, but the more Summoning skills I have and more often I use them the faster my occupation levels. I have one Warrior card that is performing outside the norm and I don’t know if it is just this one card or if other warriors will perform the same way. Only the future will tell. All in all, today was a productive day and I can’t wait to escape this place.
So... I found your series. And I have to say, if I had put half as much thought into Yugioh Card Summoner as you put into this, I think the shitshow that was the first chapters would have been a lot better. But I didn't, so whatever.
Also, on the note of LOB. Well, it is just that LOB. No E or Y (yeah, stupid me) at the end of it. I just for some reason thought it had it and never realized it doesn't until I googled it after reading your author note about it. (You can confirm this by googleling any of the cards from LOB. The set code is just LOB-000. Well, not actually all zeros but anyway.) I'll blame my mistake on Brian calling it LoBY and Brian does that because he is Brian.
Anyway, enough of my mistakes and back to this. I have to say, I like the way the MC uses cards. While I went with the version that follows the Legendary Heroes arc from the anime, of just summon and roll with it. Also, great choice to limit the power of the MC early on, so that summoning OP magicians isn't quite as easy. Making the MC too powerful is a surefire way of making sure a series has no sense danger or the world is too dangerous for locals.
Thanks for the positive comment. Let's hope I continue to do a competent job with the rest of the chapters.
