Oh, I need redemofication? Good to know!
I would also like to sign up although I am not sure my brain has recovered from the last time I did it. Having multiple realities worth of memories makes everyone think you are nuts! I should reread the real version of book 2 again.
The Koban series which has quite a few different perspectives just uses “****” or something like that to signify scene shift. I don’t think it is necessarily a change is perspective although it often is.
By the way, I highly recommend the series for when you need a break after finishing HH.
Then again… don’t take a break, I will expect the next book out ASAP. :d/
Stop asking to be a beta demon. TAG has already shown you the door. You must walk through it:

DISCLAIMER: That door happens to also be a gate to hell. Sure it will get you an alternative version of Heavenly Host sooner, but is it worth your soul?
I would really like epub. I read on my phone and use an app to mark problems. It would be really helpful if I could use that.
I vote no. I had no issue following the characters in this book and I often have issues with too many players. You managed to make the characters unique enough that I can recognize them even if I can’t give their name.
How much control do you have over kindle x-ray? Can you ensure it has good data on your characters?
I would much rather have more story than more appendices.

I have posted typos in the past.

[quote=Tizzy;1136]You see, when you signed up for the forum, you gave me what people on Earth call an ’email address’ in the Abyss we call that a ‘true name’

Yes, this book greatly illustrates fog of war. It does it so well, you can’t even tell if there is a war!
[quote=Rosver;1084]That seems to confirm that demons and gods are just the same. It just that they hide in the front of the Good.[/quote]
I disagree. It is not only the PR but also the organization. Demons are very feudal. You don’t owe any loyalties to anyone except your lord, if even that. You don’t dare cross a prince or anything, but you don’t feel a purpose. The demon culture is to value strength and enriching yourself with no higher ideals.
Gods on the other hand seem to have a very central organization. Think of the Catholic Church. They have a formal chain of command and a mission. It is the job of those who are lower to serve the cause for the greater glory of their God. Gods also appear to get mana from their subjects which help them maintain overwhelming power over most in their organization.
To put it another way. Exador and Ramses both have a strong power base with many demons who would fight for them. If Ramses decides to declare war on Exador, his demons would follow him into battle. Likely out of fear of Ramses.
If an Archangel A decided to wage war on Archangel B, those who follow A would think he had lost his mind. No one would follow him because the god is the one who appointed B and any grievance should be filed with said god.
Obviously, such things would not be perfect and if infighting does break out, it would make a god look extremely weak, and given that if is the god providing them their mana, it would likely result in immediate defeat (not necessarily immediate death, gods can be cruel).
