is there a way to have thumbnails on the chapters screen? it's been years and i get tired of having to open up a chapter just to see if the art is decent

Yes! Or at least, there used to be an extension exactly for that. I can't confirm that it still works in 2025 though.

We need to consider whether Ryo is a honorary Goat girl at this point.

There's a planet to repopulate! Just like the Sages, the Aces are working hard on making science babies too.

Non-binary? According to a producer interview Hibiki identifies as neither man nor woman (this is bolded, just to make sure people get it) but rather my favourite gender: "deliberately ambigous to mess with people".

So today we got FuwaHibi, KaguMokou AND Sakuya x Meiling, more Khyle, more Cars, Enid x Wednesday, Raye x Roze and now more ShizNat?
This batch truly has been a blessing.

SPAM. Technically just the second post, but given that it immediately follows the monosyllabic first...

^^^ Casually overlooking what pollen actually is, aren't we? Frankly, a species making stockpiles of "pre-digest" calories isn't that weird, yet I wouldn't want to explain yogurt to that alien either...

so I do have to wonder because the het tag is pretty obviously here as a result of the teens in this story being straight. but, to me this kind of feels like an overreaction, I'd genuinely argue that it's not worth tagging het when it isn't applicable to the main characters and in fact gives a very wrong view of what the story will be if you're just looking at the tags to see if it's worth your time or not.

Well, it's only on the chapter instead of the series as a whole. I assume it'll act as reassurance for readers in the future that yes, you'll have to sit through twenty-odd pages of M/F high school drama, but there's gay at the end, Trust Me, Bro™.

What's the ideal way to specify an image in the case of art dumps? Some artists (especially on Pixiv) are prone to just uploading a whole lot from doodles to full illustrations at once, and specifying "the 18th from the top" or "number 30" is dumb. Adding the actual img file URI in the info?

I suggest a feature where it blurs NSFW images. Like a setting you can turn on. It get's annoying seeing them when looking through tags-

Quick one-liner for use with TamperMonkey. If you don't know how to use that, check out the Forum Rules (V2), Userscripts, & Forum Post Formatting thread.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Blur Dynasty Image Thumbnails
// @version      2025-04-12
// @description  Blurs image thumbnails on the Dynasty Reader. This description is very necessary

// ==/UserScript==

(function() {'use strict'; for (var e of document.querySelectorAll("a.thumbnail")) if(e.dataset.content.includes("NSFW")) e.style.filter="blur(8px)";})();

This doesn't work on the images preview on the landing page though.

Edit: Updated to also work in the image thread.

Not just are these Mesmerizer uniforms, but it's also happening on camera, once before and once after Miku snaps.
There has to be lore, and the obsession I'll channel to find it shall rival the FNAF fandom!

Can anybody explain what this ship even is? I've been consulting the aptly titled incomplete nightmare and is "Green" just a fanon term for genderbend Blue?

There are enough hunters who are terrible shots yet still manage to sell stained venison. I don't think it's used much for curry (at least around here), but by observation, people will eat that shit (hehe) right up.

^ Calling essentially any modern game (or software at all) "poorly optimized" is like calling a forest on fire "too dry for optimal tree growth": not technically wrong, but really over-focused on a singular issue to overplay that the entire industry has been recursive clusterfuck at least since two decades.

This goes for gacha too. How many GB is Genshin on mobile again? 35 GB? So more than double the size of Tears of the Kingdom, which was made long after Nintendo lost its ways of actual technical competence?

Okay, sorry, rant over. Why are we debatting under a year-old spanking pic again?

...can we just not act like there is community unity on NTR, even if its girl-steals-from-boy? I've seen it swing either way in this forum and I couldn't tell what tips the scales.

Antithesis to Moedred: if (male-targeted) NTR is all about the anguish of having your lover taken away, why "dampen" that emotional impact? I rather believe the lack of full-yuri NTR lies in the notion that yuri is supposedly the "purest" form of love, and until further research I withhold judgement on which gender to jingoistically blame on that.

Obligatory bit on the actual story: Feelings realization. Me likey. Sadly with the final pages, I fear it won't stay as close-to-life and introspective like that. But eh, I'll keep reading as long as it doesn't devolve into mere romcom smut.

All I'm saying is that you could call these "Alkahest x Medici" or whatever and tag it Doujin: Reverse:1999 and I'd never guess it's actually Pop Team Epic fanart.

But then this is Kawacy we're talking about. Gorgeous all around.

Whee, more long posts!

Now I've never properly played gachas outside of PGR and the discontinued SMC, and I despise defending the genre in general, but to expand upon FluffyCow:

Next time you're on the bus or train, look at what people do on their phones. If it isn't antidemocratic brainrot asocial media, it's games, and yikes are those horrendous. Everything's full of ads, multiple psych PhDs worth of manipulation and both P2W AND P2P mechanics at once.

Now compare this with popular gachas. You get to play 99% of the game for free, have a continuos stream of new content, side-activities/minigames and story. Do you really mind that there are skins 60 chips each? That in order to be in the top 100 global leaderboard (which is just bragging rights) you need to spend the price of a car? Ever more so since so-called "triple-A" games just do the same thing but with a 100 chips fee up-front. They've normalized lootboxes in SP games for crying out loud!

Most of the big-name gachas allow you to drag along just fine F2P with daylies/weeklies (=habit forming), and lacking the chance to play proper games (which nowadays means the better indies), which many people do, it's the next best alternative. Especially since I believe that the supermajority of gacha players doesn't engage with their, err... idiosyncratic communities at all.

Anybody got news on this, or Le Paradis in general? I'm dying to find if this ever even got a second chapter in the first place, and the paper chase hasn't been fruitful for me so far.
