EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 50 v2 + Chapter 51 [ROUGH]
🕑 Added 2023-04-09 19:08:58 +0000 UTC(Unfortunately this release does mean there will be no Early Access chapter this Friday, April 14. Hopefully this early drop will make that understandable, though 😁)
Yes, I know it's a big holiday Sunday, but I wanted to get this out there while Chapter 50 will still fresh on everyone's minds since these two redemption chapters are so important to get right.
Thank you to everyone whose feedback helped shift 50 a bit!
*********
A few rules & reminders:
- Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
- Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
- On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!
That's it, so without further ado... Enjoy!

@nicole That would be siiiiick. I am hoping that she gets a unique user ability, one that is godlike. She deserves it.

Naah, my bets on a user unique ability.

I hope she gets an incredible ability, one that complements Rei’s abilities. Imagine if she gained something like Temporal step?

I think it's setting up for something Good remember yes sorta in a screw the iscm and maybe the mind mode at the moment

I'm here waiting and expecting Viv to get a more common ability maybe still rare but more common and get a external and a bad ass weapon upgrade or something I do like the wait tho she's always been at the top of the pack so the waiting to get the bad ass upgrades really good for humility imo

The physical wasn't supposed to really be talked about at the time because of the people who would fail being g but hurt the main thing was him being a guinea pig and a few others when I re listened to it the other day it seemed more like a asking not as demanding as the test subject thing

Really liked the update to 50 and the squad bonding in 51. I also like that a bunch of Shido remains a mystery to both the reader and characters. In that vein - if you’re redoing the part about his initial second part of the testing it would be cool if Rei still had some of his own mystery… “None of us can talk about our 3rd test but I’ve also been sworn to secrecy about details of my second physical test - though in completely unrelated news of that day - most of my specs started at F0”

It was the part about him being a test.

Kes was able to beat the MIND with calculations because only a small part of MINDs focus is there. Kes does probably have more data on Rei and his group than the MIND, so that seems fair but I think the MIND is a bit better at predictions.

The sister edit makes the chapter much better imo. It was the right call.

Did Rei tell them he failed the physical section of the test during his recap? If so, wasn’t that part of the info he isn’t allowed to share? Or am I not remembering right?
Peter De Chiaro
Great chapters, thought the original 50 was good also.
Scott
would it be possible to update the story so far with the new chapter 50? It currently has the original version.

"Only other explanation is a separate virtual intelligence specifically designed to do those calculations, which I’d bet would still require pretty significant design and more than human input. " Looking back at this, Kes mentions that she has more data than the MIND and is better at calculating the outcome. Possibly a hint that the separate virtual intelligence would be the CAD itself?
