After the tyrant's defeat, Earth is finally free.

But peace is short-lived.

Returning to Eriamis, Neo and Gigel are thrust into a world far more dangerous than any battlefield—the ruthless game of nobility.

Pulled into the schemes of the Aramar Kingdom and the Theocracy, they find themselves entangled in conspiracies that span nations, where power is measured not only by strength, but also by influence, alliances, and blood.

As enemies move from the shadows and every decision carries weight beyond their understanding, Neo is forced to confront the legacy of House Voidstrider—and the truths hidden within his own power.

Neo and Gigel must rise faster than ever before—or risk becoming nothing more than sacrificial pieces in a game they never chose to play.

In a world where even victory has a cost, can they carve their own path… or will they be consumed by the ambitions of those above them?

@rico58489635 @unusualnuggets I knew it. So to make it more realistic they should have put Barbara to say: "This is an AI video, so I'm out."

@ishanxtwt They are just being polite.
"ey, J. What's up?"

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@TheGameVerse But why?

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

AI is really taking over a lot of jobs.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

Mine was a mix of the Bible, my own books, and some investment stuff.

Women are more likely than men who are you in a world where the Canaanites and the people in Stonard might have to be profitable in their favor and they lived like a good example in a world where the Canaanites and the people in that book are in a world where you are the poor person who is not easy and you may not be concerned with your newfound wealth management strategy but you can't be confident of your ability won't you be a bot.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@WilChanWrites @JamesAllenMaxey Good idea. I should start doing that.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

What is going on with AI slop in the writing business nowadays?
I swear I got 3 books in a row from Kindle Unlimited that felt completely AI written. (Not just a tool to assist with editing, but the whole text is pure AI garbage)

The worst part is that these books are getting a bunch of positive reviews despite lacking cohesion, plot, and even making stupid mistakes like repeating descriptions or contradicting previously established concepts a mere chapter ahead.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@akwafinawater The prequel.
I think Boruto's father was the main character or something like that...

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

That nobody cares. (This applies to every area: health, spiritual, career, self worth)
If you are a man, learn how to stand on your on feet, and even more importantly, how to get up when you fall.
Because beyond a few likes, even fewer follows and temporary shows of concern through replies, the truth is that nobody cares.

@takeme2hobbiton The Elder Scrolls V

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@pisangij01 Yeah. Unfortunately some of Amazon's processes tend to reward exploitative behavior while punishing real users.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@JamesAllenMaxey The covers and description were okay.
Since they were KDP, I didn't do any deep research before grabbing them.
A lot of times, I get random books from authors I don't know under a category just in hopes to get surprised.
This time, however, the surprise was a bad one. 😔

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@NarutoDaily_ Kakashi without war-arc cheats.
(He enabled infinte chakra cheats during the war.)

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

Then Amazon flags your book for "manipulating customer reviews", despite having only a single review from a fan who has been following my work for over 2 years, and takes it down without recourse or details.

I'm still peeved Amazon refused to elaborate on taking down my first book of the Galactic Ring series.

Months of work gone, devoured by bad detection systems and even worse support personnel.

And @AmazonHelp didn't help at all. No matter how many cases I opened, emails sent, escalations requested.

Your "Customer Obsession" only goes as far as the first inconvenience on your day.
There isn't a single support person out there that really tried to help. They all just treated it as a case they had to flip to "answered" so their metrics look good at the end of the month.

Speaking of reviews...

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@lastborn_1j I think the reason is that the Rinnegan didn't exist back when that plot line was created.
Kishimoto probably felt the need to amp the sharingan a bit more later with Izanagi and Izanami to compensate.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

Yeah. Re3 Remake not only cut a bunch of content, but the part they kept was implemented in the worst way possible.
It's like whoever was responsible for the project had no idea what each scene or character was supposed to deliver and just meshed things together in a soup of garbage.

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@Animerta Yes, if he fights the current version of Minato. (The dead one)

[Marcelo Baptista @marcelo_byteval]

@mrgrouchon @pixelprayer Some things need to be said even that means going beyond the limits. (Deep thoughts in the middle of the night.)
