Let's Read: Book Club Vols #2, 4, 5, 7, 8

[Proto Man]

I've read most of Return to Coruscant, so I'll get to that next/last. For now, here's my input on Artorias and Gouki-Ret.

(Artorias) I thought the first post was very well written, but I’ll admit, I had a hard time figuring out what was going on until the storm troopers arrived. Before then, I couldn’t quite tell what was reality or otherwise. Once the troopers came in, everything gained a degree of clarity (for me, the reader).

I found the fight itself to be pretty fascinating. Artorias is one of the first characters I’ve read in a while who seems to lack any sort of human identity. He felt more like the embodiment of some negative emotions rather than a person (which I think was probably your goal). As such, I really enjoyed his interpretations of what he was experiencing and why, along with his responses as the fight went back and forth.

I couldn’t tell how many troopers were there, but it seemed like more than a few. As a result, his standing against them, even as long as he did, seemed a bit far-fetched, but then you regained me a little when he had to retreat in the end. If I had more time, I’d read onto the next thread, but I imagine it’s probably just as interesting (so it’ll go on my list).
Very interesting character, to say the least.

Also, I give you points for not only creating an entrance thread by yourself but also for making it more than just a boring one-and-done (like we had in a previous wave of joinees)

As for Gouki-Retane, everyone can find my opinion about them here - <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://omniverse-rpg.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1220">viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1220</a><!-- l -->
