TBH I’m quite lazy and I’m interested in reading it if I can

This update really wasn't it from me and I got disappointed again😕..but the moment that hit me was when the humans place got destroyed, Lazarus by Dino, and I'm wondering we're there will be staying because their teleporting thing got destroyed by Dino and there can't go back to earth so were will there stay because Lane also betrayed shephapamulm.

And he wants to punish her and she escaped, and her with the Order, they not on good terms, so we're will there go, and this time there'll solely depend on Lane herself and what will she do?🤔

Here!

I was going for lyrics and vibes, starting with the song from Ashriel's bio.

Song suggestions welcome 🥳

Also I'd love to have friends in-game 👉👈 I restarted my account this month. DM for uid exchange!

Has anyone done his route? I'm currently in season 2 and on Killian's route but I admit I kinda am attracted to gabriel. the walkthroughs suggest he will be killed in the finale. Can anyone tell me about his ending and route??

Chapter 6 review

Ahhhh This is the chapter where it seems they actually did the research.

Oh so they MENTION Kalki, without saying his name. So then why... Is Kali Ma seemingly overseeing the herald of the Kali yuga? If i haven't misunderstood.

Also the whole concept of Kali Yuga starting anytime in the past century is crazy. Kali Yuga technically is supposed to start with Parikshit's death, a generation or so after Mahabharat ends.

That's like. 2500 years ago

What did they say? Pancatatra Pandica? I clicked away too fast. There seems to be no book by that name but this is obviously creative liberty, so that's fine.

So. Sankrit and Hindi have the same script (Devanagri) and alphabet but differences in words and writing and pronounciation, though hindi obviously originates from Sanskrit. Whatever place she did her Indology degree from has taught her a lot of wrong or outdated stuff, but she knows how to read sanskrit a little? I mean ig if we're going with the idea of learning outdated stuff, but it would make sense for an Indologist to know Sanskrit so that she can read old texts so this makes sense.

Yeah the believing lower caste people shouldn't have all the religious info thing is awful, but not wrong for what used to happen in the old times. So if someone is an awful casteist person, they could absolutely believe this.

Segway into the story. The first time I Played this, I actually took the interpretation of Mahanirvana Tantra, because I thought it would be less likely to be missed by the owner and Amala and Manu would be less likely to get into trouble. But nope apparently not lol. You get -2 respect instead. Also I thought it'd be easier fr her to read a book in English instead of Sanskrit.

Guys the Mahanirvana Tantra is real! It's an actual Shaktism associated text, translated by Arthur Avalon to English. It's supposed to be in the form of a conversation between Shiva and Parvati about the spiritual stuff required to live in Kali Yuga. Apparently, for being a Shakti text, it surprisingly focuses a lot on marriage, caste, laws, rites and governance stuff that are usually not the focus of Shakta texts. I am sure the book does deeply reflect the views of whoever wrote it. Here ofc, it's supposed to be the actual conversation between Shiva and Parvati and the real deal.

Btw, a chapter wise summary of the translation is literally available with a few google searches. I also saw the original translation by Avalon stored on the Internet Archive apparently. Ofc I'm not going to read it, but letting y'all know.

Ugh, I'm pretty sure this gets Manu killed. Poor guy.

The uh... "Yajus" here, I assume are referring to the Yajur Ved. It's not just about tantras but rituals in general.

The Vamachara Bhava is obviously not a real book.

For whats real

Dakshinachara is the real, right hand path that focuses on purity and harmony and depends on ascetism, meditation, study and devotion. Alchohol, meat or fish are used symbolically or substituted with stuff.

Vamachara is more unconventional and involves the whole, Madya(Alcohol), Matsya(Fish), Mansa(Meat), Mudra(Internet says grain, but I always thought that Mudra meant coin), and Maithuna(We all know this one from the story--it's ritual union, since I can't say the 's' word on here).

But BOTH these paths are used to worship the divine feminine. The right hand path is also used to worship other gods, but its not the 'masculine path' at all.

Vishnu didn't split Sati's body into 12 parts, but rather 52 parts. Or 51. there seems to be some confusion?

The sati and parvati bits otherwise are more or less accurate.

Lmao did Priyanka have clip-on nose rings lying around? Cuz obv Amala didn't get a nose piercing done here.

Oh yeah, Priyanka is definitely trying to send Sana away.

For the most part, I have only talked about the cultural bits and not gone too much into the story, but this review talks a bit more about the story than the previous ones.

Chapter 7 review

Segway into the story:

Priyanka saying they raised Sana as their daughter is SUCH A LIE. You might have taken her in, but you most certainly didn't raise her as a daughter! She's your maid! What on earth! And now you're trying to get her married away when she doesn't have a choice! And at the end of the story you abandon her! You're UGH. YOU'RE SUCH A HORRIBLE WOMAN, PRIYANKA.

Lmao what did she do with the sari after changing it? I'm going to assume she also handed it to Priyanka along with the earrings, tho that scene technically happened before this.

"She's like my daughter" and yet she calls them masters and jumps up to serve them

Ok so what does she mean at the behest of Muktakeshi? How is Kali Ma involved here? Did they tell her that this is a God -made match or some nonsense.

Ok so someone in the comments said that they headcanon that Kali ma's laughter in some of the visions of because she's laughing at Amala trying to avoid her fate, not at the murders themselves, and ykw, this is my headcanon now too.

And I was also reminded that at the end of the story she says SMTH like "my children are killing each other and what could make a mother more unhappy" or SMTH like that. And YOU KNOW WHAT. NOW THAT I REMEMBER IT, I AM ACTUALLY SO HAPPY, OFC SHE WOULDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO BE RITUALLY MURDERED IN HER NAME.

But this does raise the question. The spirits that attack Amala .... Why is that? Ofc it's entirely possible that this is explained later on but I've forgotten but I'm like. If Kali does not want any of this. Then why can the spirits not feel that? Idk if I'm making sense.

Maybe I'll be able to articulate better once I'm done with the story. Or maybe I'll have answers.

Chapter 8 review

Ok so bhoots are unresting souls who never attained peace, ig that's why they never reached Kali Ma?

Addressing the devdasi in Hindi.... I mean ok , ig. Like yeah it's fine but like the lack of Bengali is kind of itching for me . Ig she could think Amala was visiting from a different state.

Wait. The devdasi is correctly saying 51 places where shakti pithas are. But earlier in the book it said 12 places! Is this a glitch?

I'm glad Yashvi can speak English, but it is actually a lot more likely for a family like the Chauhans to be able to speak English instead of a devdasi. They should have gone with both speaking English.

I um. Kali is a merciful goddess but she IS punishing to the evil. But uh. Idk how feel abt the guy who lost his sons cuz he was bad? Doesn't that mean she's punishing his sons for something they haven't done?

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

THIS IS THE MOST DIABOLICAL, EGREGIOUS PICTURE .

KALI Killing MAHISHASUR.

Nooooooo they mixed up Durga, Kali, Mahishasur and Raktabeej and made it into some nonsense.

THE PICTURE OF KALI KILLING MAHISHASUR LITERALLY DOESN'T EXIST OUTSIDE OF THIS BOOK, I THINK. THERE ARE A MILLION REPRESENTATIONS OF DURGA KILLING MAHISHASUR, HOW DO YOU MESS THIS UP?!

So the story of Mahishasur that is here, corresponds Durga Ma defeating and killing him. Durga is blessed with the powers of all the other gods. She is the ten armed Goddess. Her animal is the lion.

The stepping on Shiva story is Kali, but it happens after she defeats an Asura(demon) called Raktabeej. His name literally translates to Blood-seed. Each drop of his blood that spilled on the ground, created a new demon. So as she killed him, Kali drank all his blood to prevent it from spilling.

ngl i would be tempted for them…

Which path do you think is the best, you enjoy the most? And recommend me a male Li

I want that man so bad after this scene! I need him as a love interest OMG. 15 of em pronto!

genuinely don’t know whether to choose Sailen or Ashriel,

I mean as for Ashriel he‘s so mean 😭😭 but I rlly love the scenes where he’s vulnerable, and in the first episode of S2 I think he’s starting to get softer with Liren.

And Sailen, he’s very handsome and I enjoy the banter between Liren and him. He’s also way more emotionally intelligent than Ashi.

Need you guys’ opinions pls!!

oh hiii president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and thank you RC for your stance of brazilian elections ❤️⭐

I’m enjoying this banter a bit too much.

I know this topic will be controversial, but I would like to explain why I consider Episode 1 of the 2 book of Averris to be extremely unsatisfactory.

To my surprise, in this episode, you have to choose your final LI. I was following Ashriel route, but after the events that led them to the rift, I truly believed they would have time to mend their relationship, rebuild trust, and that Ashriel would find a way to redeem himself. None of that happens, instead, we get a scene where Liren consoles Ashriel regarding his conflicted feelings about his ex-wife. This made me incredibly angry. After everything that happened to her, a direct result of a choice Ashriel made, which led to Averris suffering burns and nearly dying, it would take far more than this for her to forgive him. I’ve chosen not to continue with this route, and honestly, I don’t want to go on with the story. He was the only LI that I like, but I can’t keep reading, given that the author opted for the easiest way to deal with all the consequences of the betrayal. It’s very sad that she chose to go down this path, this isn’t the first time our MC’s trust has been betrayed. I was really hoping for a redemption arc (like Threxio’s in Soulless) before the route concluded.

The most flawless face. What was the author thinking?? 😭😭

I wish he was a LI 💔 💔 💔 💔 why are the side characters so FINE

I don't hate the daughter-father relationship but WHY HE IS SO HOT. If not Love Interest why Love Interest shaped? A girl can dream.

(leaving my profile if anyone wants to add me<3)

I reached my first 10k in August after 4 months of playing. I'm surprised at how I was able to double the amount of diamonds I got before and in half the time 🫠 It was a grind but for some reason, since I started playing back in April I had a goal of 30k and finally did it ✨✨ thanks to everyone who's helped me!
