My exposure to cultivation stuff is fairly limited, but I've read a good bit of litRPG and I'd have to disagree about it being standard formatting for at least the litRPG genre. It is a personal taste thing though, so perhaps it's not an issue to other readers.Originally Posted by Fulmen

I had no issue with it. Processable chunks. Appeals to general readers.

With some time having passed, I'm curious if anyone has different thoughts on Bloodline now. I was definitely less than thrilled with it after the first read, but I think that was largely due to forgetting how Sacred Valley and its inhabitants could be, as well as the.. silence at the very end, and why they would even risk getting to that point, that was pretty hard to take.
However, having read it 3 or 4 times now, I've really come around to it being a pretty solid book in the series even if it's not Son of Wintersteel. I love the callback to Eithan from Blackflame, the stuff with Jai Chen in the Desolate Wilds was great, Lindon and Yerin's development, and the behavior of the Sacred Valley folks as well as Lindon's determination despite everything just rings true. I definitely hope that we have a positive development on the silence in Reaper, but I'm confident it will all work out well.
If every sentence is spoken then a new paragraph for each character's speech would be standard formatting, but if it's not then yeah, that could be annoying. I've read some LitRPG and not noticed this issue but, in my case, I usually listen to them on Audible so wouldn't necessarily have noticed.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Edward R. Murrow
I'm reading the Night Lords Omnibus. Fuck the Imperium.

I only listened to the first one, Sunset, but the audio version is outstanding.

You may be thinking of a different book series.
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
Oh wait, I'm thinking of Nightlord by Garon Whited. Still, outstanding narration.

It is about these guys.

Yeah, I just googled it. Putting it on my wishlist so I will probably get to it sometime this decade.
