I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game

On chapter 54. Does the big monster called "Fish of Calamity"? cause it looked like the translation got cut of? asking just to be sure

The plot sounds like a rip from lotm

I found it my guy if you want to read here is the name of the novel
Genius Wizard Takes Medicine

Ok, thanks, though I read it already

they censored so might as well change it to taking a sh*t

I love good Lovecraftian stuff, but looking at the tags (mainly the system one) kinda makes me leery of it. Systems are all about empowerment of the MC, but that is entirely antithetical to cosmic horror in the first place.

I mean to begin with, in cosmic horror, you can only either get the bad end, or manage to delay the coming of the bad end for a few hundred years. You can't kill Cthulhu or Nyarlathotep, only stop the cultists from summoning them or temporarily prevent them from fully manifesting their avatar.

Since all outer/other gods including Nyarlathotep are trapped thanks to Yogsothoth because him letting them out is Yog's equivalent to letting your arm eat you're leg and if Yog wanted to he could kill them by just completely encapsulating the void in his/her light but then that would just be his equivalent of eating you're own arm. The only way the other gods can get out is thanks to their worshippers trying to summon them and any one else who accidentally summons them like with Nyarlathotep's stone which is also orchestrated by Yog.

Isn't that what u said u want in early chapter to one shot anyone?

That comment was meant to suit whatever content was in that chapter and it was pretty early on when i still had no idea on what im reading lol i dont even remember, it has nothing to do with the convo here, if you even read, me and the person who i was talking to were talking about the Cthulhu elements in the novel and how it was shown and depicted.

So it does more-or-less end up with that sort of OP protagonist stuff that is antithetical to cosmic horror then. Glad I didn't pick this up. I just wish there were more authors who could write cosmic horror correctly.

I'm sure there has, but its most likely buried under a pile of trash, also this book would've been OK if he didn't have his knowledge about the game, it just made him seem like some sort of psycho in a sense, cuz even when he was transported into the world itself, his behaviour and the words he says sometimes suggest that he still thinks he is in a game, which p*ss*s me off, like he is serious about everything else, but there is this sense of disconnect every now and then that breaks the immersion, atleast thats how it seemed to me.

Cosmis horror huh, well LOTM does have that element, for some reason ( i know but i wont tell) a lot of gods in the universe are hovering around or hanging out near Post apocalyptic Earth.

What a Synopsis!!!! I achieved enlightenment!!!
