Hello everyone! Chapter 96 is out in Paraceratherium! There are now 4 chapters of TAOH left! Anyway, that was nice. It actually went better than I thought. This is a reminder that it might seem hard writing a chapter at first but once you get into the flow of it it becomes a thousand times easier.
Hello Moon Tales Girl! Welcome to Achatina section! Your story Moon Tales is very cool.
Break-it, sometimes you need to reflect on the direction of your story and what you want to do with it. Understanding that mastery doesn’t come immediately is fine, because if you work hard enough toward your goal of mastery you’ll reach it. Mastery is a very interpretive matter but I think you’re close to reaching it. You still need to work on a few things such as a consistent writing schedule and overall some more important literature topics that don’t need to be covered right now but your dialogue and plot and ideas with the story are doing great so far, so don’t give up! Anyway seeya around i sent a message about your previous three chapters a bit ago (although not too sure if you saw it yet). Anyway I noticed you just finished QOA. I hope it was as fun to read as I had fun reading it. I suggest heading over to read Hope’s Cry next by MrGhostGamer. The story is in the All filter alphabetically, although you will need to skip boss creature sections. The story is 24 chapters long and not too long of a read.
Sylveevee, Chapter 2 of WOA was awesome sauce! I wonder what Drake’s vision was all about and what the stone Sylveevee picked up was. Still curious about why Sylveevee and Pat betrayed Moonhigh. I think it’ll come up later. I’m guessing the story Drake learned was about the Phantom Legends as teased. Well that was a fun chapter overall!
SunnyFox57, Chapter 4 of The Lost Soul was great! It was so nice seeing Bella again even though we didn’t see her much in TTOTSP. I’m guessing the voice Tom keeps hearing is the Krakos. And now the strange thing in the shadows makes sense, it’s Bella who noticed and smelled Tom’s scent and decided to follow him. I can’t wait to see how the rest of Lost Soul goes!
Chapter 18 of The Lost World was also really nice. Kinda sad Chapter 17 can’t get posted because of technical issues but oh well. I don’t like Cedric as much as the others. I think my favorite characters are in the order Rowan, Kannon, Elayne, Oliver, and then Cedric. Cedric’s prankster ways come off as more selfish and inconsiderate than the other characters and in my opinion I actually don’t like him as much as Samuel from TAOH. Anyway it’s nice seeing Rowan get out of her comfort zone and learn to be more vulnerable and expressive. Wonder what that thing at the end was… Eh, we’ll figure out soon. Unless you pull a cliffhanger and have it in like the chapter after.
Moon, Chapter 10 of Pandora was really great! I really enjoyed the symbolism of the deformed bird and its parallel to Pandora. The fact that Pandora was able to envision the Flier horde again with her visions was really trippy and honestly really cool. I’m still going to place my bets on the fact that the thing scaring the horde is the Dodorex, which was teased on Fandom. I can also sense the tension between Bria and Rainstone. I hope they become friends and we get another convo between them. Also can’t wait to see Toxin actually pull his own weight and talk to people on his own… Anyway that was a good chapter, I can’t wait for the next! And also for whatever you could be planning and scheming…
Wyvernian, Chapter 49 of TOT was awesome! The banter between Nova and Fjordur’s Dragon about the whole name thing was pretty funny. The teleportation of all the villains was also really well done and makes sense since the White Obelisk can do it with the heroes. Drain’s transformation into the wyvern-like creature was also really cool. Also Rockwell’s Innards… can’t wait for HC Rockwell to discover this region eventually. Anyway since I think we’re nearing the end of the arc we should all discus which groups go to which regions of the TOT map for the corruption apocalypse arc we were planning right we’re doing that next? Anyway can’t wait to see what PrimalApex does for Chapter 50… (WOAH WE’RE THAT FAR IN CRAZY).
Although, I would say that I did not really appreciate the stab at Samuel in this chapter. I didn’t mind him crying over Star betraying him, but describing him as “broken” felt a bit disrespectful and done only because he is not a likable character within TAOH. I could also go over the fact that Star was described to not have the capability or desire to go out or do anything due to her feelings of not being there for Samuel, and thus it would be illogical for her to act out against him (this was explicitly stated in the Fandom discussion chain), I will not go over it now. Some communication about some of my characters would be appreciated and I think the same for others. I literally do not care what you do with them as long as I am told about it. I try my best to make everyone’s characters accurate and true to themselves and I expect the same from you. Anyway, nothing personal!
See you all soon!
Wyvernian, yeah I understand all of that. I just wasn’t sure if it was implied or lore. It definitely does make a lot of sense for the tidal lock to have been reverted and the Earth rotation to start once again. But,(SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T READ THE LORE!) I did find on the Ark wiki lore page that it does say that during or around the time of when Diana and Li Mei Yin had uploaded Helena Daus to the Genesis Ship from Arat Prime that the Earth was still in tidal lock. Though I am not sure if this is canon or not since it’s in the wiki and not in the lore itself but the wiki is supported by the developers so I don’t know what to think about it. So it’s just a guessing game for us until we see Arat Prime in ASA with the full lore added to it. But another thing that I am definitely excited for more questions answered through the Animated Series with the lore more analyzed and explained in detail. Well, I think I that’s all I have to say for now. Until next time!!

Woo hoo Chapter 18 is released! So I made a miscalculation and I accidentally released Chapter 17 in Ichthyornis, so Chapter 18 will be in Lymantria. I rereleased Chapter 17 anyway in Manticore because it feels kinda weird to just leave it like that. Anyway, I’m pretty proud of myself since I reached 21,000 words for Arks Over Heaven! Woo hoo! For reference the Obelisk is 46,000 words!
So yeah, I’m pretty happy that I’ve managed to make it so far…
SunnyFox, I just LOVE Demise of Tortuga. It’s actually been a huge blast to read. It’s probably my favorite story on the platform right now. Maybe I just needed a breath of fresh air from all the Dinosaur POV stories. I just love all the dynamics and stuff so far. It’s impressive you’ve made a lot of progress since you’ve started, I’m proud of you.
Anyway ill discuss the recent chapters. So it seems Jack and Jay are learning how to fight with swords… awesome, and it seems Eric’s father Josh knows how to fight with swords too. And was arrested at some point… maybe he doesn’t like how Tortuga is run (like the mayors and laws). And aw man, Chapter 19 is really sad. Why’d Hawkthorne had to do that man?? I guess corporal punishment is allowed on Tortuga… which sucks, it must have really hurt for Emma and Jay and Jack. Also I guess I feel a little bad for Hawkthorne. She was treated the same way when she was little too, and it seems she doesn’t like the new mayors either (she probably thinks they’re brats because they’re so young… since michael was only 17 i think). I still don’t know who was the lesser of the two evils though, Hawkthorne or Tom or Mr Creepazoid or whoever. I guess Mr Creepazoid since he doesn’t really have a reason to be bad.
Also the worldbuilding is cool. I’m wondering if the Volcano, El Elemento is a volcano in the real game. Maybe the volcano on the Island map? That would be cool, or maybe just a completely different one. Also so unfair Aaron Jr gets ignored like that, like cmon he got his hand raised Hawkthorne!!!!
Also Andrew’s such a gentleman 🥺. Wanting to help Emma is so nice of him.
And this ball that the mayors are holding… Goodness Mr Creepazoid probably wants to use this as an opportunity to get with Emma. Too bad Emma already has a dance partner, 😉 (hint hint his name starts with an A and ends with a W).
Well this was so much fun to read and write. Although I think youll be interested in the lore drop of Ben in Over Heaven, seeya!
Ben, I’m glad u like my story! I can’t wait to read your next chapter! Things are getting instersting. 😏. Im sorry I won’t be posting any chapter today bc I’ve been busy but I’ll be working on it. Btw who is y’all’s favorite character in my story so far? I think my favorite is probably…Jay. I intentionally made him sarcastic and funny. Anyways…Cya!

P.S: SandmasterXD, nice poem. Good job! R.I.P Moon’s computer.

No daily chapter today :(
Sunny, I did read Chap 13 and 14 of Tortuga and so much has already been revealed. I guess I was right about Tom and his spouse (or ex-spouse? We still don’t know if she died or if she left him). Aragorn does feel a lot of regret for him, and it’s really sad that it ended up that way with their friendship :’( I wonder who the other people were in the photo? Other friends? Only time will tell. Also I guess the mayors perished, Mayor Roi and Reine. But something seems a bit fishy to me, they seemed a bit healthy in my opinion. What if they were assassinated by their own children?! That’s why their children didn’t seem to really care about their parents’ death… But that’s just a thought. And of course Mr. Creepazoid is being a weirdo again as always. Don’t know why he’s even considering marriage just to be with a pretty girl. Such a selfish and inconsiderate brat.
Yeah that’s about it. I’ve also been playing ASA, single player as Wyvernian suggested (thanks for that) and I’ve been making great progress. I got myself a thatch hut near the red Obelisk, and I have tamed an Iguanodon and Pteranodon. I tamed a Parasaur a while back but it died to Troodons. It didn’t have a name, maybe that’s why it died so easily. I’ll be naming my dinosaurs from now on so they don’t die so easily. I did a bit of explorer note/dossier hunting and I was able to get to Level 70 easily because of that. One of my goals besides defeating the Overseer is to collect all the explorer notes, along with taming all the dinosaurs and getting max level as we wait for Scorched Earth and The Center to release this year.
One thing I dislike about ASA is the grass. It makes it way too hard to find dead dinosaurs in the grass, so i’m already losing resources by the second (especially precious chitin). Sometimes I can’t even find my own stuff, because they removed corpse locators in favor of the ping system. I wish they re-added corpse locators, or make a setting to disable grass, or just add outlines/tracers to dead bodies in the vicinity. It would make my life easier, considering ASA should also be adding quality of life things.
That’s all for now. I’ll keep you updated on my ASA journey as time passes. And, maybe tomorrow I’ll release Chap 16 of The Arks Over Heaven. But that’s not a promise.
A little message for the impersonators—
Me: Ok guys—
Rust, Crimson, Forest, Spark and Nyx: ._.
Me: Listen, we have an imposter on our hands. *shows them the files*
The Files: *several tips with rather outlandish comments*
Spark: So someone’s impersonating people?
Me: yes.
Forest and Nyx: Why?
Me: I don’t know, because they want to?
Spark: Have you figured out who they are?
Me: No, you can’t do that.
Crimson: *snorts* Gimme that computer, bet ya anything I can.
Me: That’s not how Dododex works, and no, we’re not here to find out who they are. We’re here to—to talk to them.
Crimson: TALK to them??

Me: Aaaaand go!
Spark: Imposter, if you listening, I’d like to say that what your doing is wrong.

Crimson: *mellow murderousness*

Rust:
Rust:
Rust: Did your mother not love you?
Me: RUST—

Forest: Listen friend. You obviously have a reason, bad or not. The question is, why do it when there’s so much more you can do?
Set the pranks aside, come in, join us!
Be our friend.

Chapter 25 and 26 of JTAC was enjoyable. There were a few iffy moments, like how Fox and Gunner, who are creatures, randomly could talk with no explanation. Overall, the Titanosaur Showdown was the most memorable moment of the Chapter. The boss fights were okay, but they didn’t feel as special as the Titanosaur Showdown because they didn’t possess any heartfelt or interesting moments. The Gitez and Sylveevee reference were cool, i s’pose, but I wouldn’t throw their names around carelessly. If you ain’t asking permission to put them (and I’m assuming more soon) in your Multiverse, the least ya’ could do is treat their names with respect, in whatever way you use them. Anyway, I’m interested to see how the rest of the Scorched Earth Arc plays out and how Rock Death Tribe played a role in the Ravage.
