Confession:

"Of course RC is more comfortable using AI since you all pick and choose which stories to criticize for its usage. They’ve been doing it at least since HS2, but you’ve all been as quiet as a mouse because you don’t want to criticize your favorite stories, even though they also used AI.

I'm not interested in Advent No. 3, but the way you all refuse to accept any argument against the hate it gets that isn’t related to AI—just repeating like robots that the only reason it gets hate is because of AI (which isn’t true)—is very telling.

Unless you keep the same energy with your favorite books, you’re just virtue signaling for social points."

Now it's not uncommon to be confused as a gay person...

But-

I have a genuine question: Has there ever been another RC book where the main character faces ridicule for their choice of clothing? I've read every RC book, and 'Advent No. 3' is the first one where I encountered wardrobe shaming

Advent No. 3 plot holes by Ecstatic-classic-705 on reddit

I’ve seen a few opinions here, and while I agree with a lot of them, I wanted to add some of my own thoughts. I also saw a lot of people praising the author’s world-building abilities, but honestly, I don’t share that opinion.

First of all, it’s clear that Anton Atrii(author) was “inspired” by Attack on Titan, though that’s already been discussed enough. However, my main issue isn’t with the plagiarism itself. Honestly, if the author had just copied the original, I would’ve had fewer questions.

But instead, the author tried to reinvent the wheel by piecing together parts of a coffee grinder. The result is a mishmash of Attack on Titan elements combined with his own flawed ideas, but the original pieces don’t work well when removed from their original context. As the result it’s breaking author’s world logic and plausibility.

So, I wanted to point out some of the mistakes and plot holes created by the author. Also give some examples of how it was done in Attack on Titan and why it worked there, but doesn’t work here.

1. The concept of an unknown enemy.

“Titans appeared out of nowhere” — This works in Attack on Titan because of the somewhat medieval setting, where people didn’t know what lay beyond the walls.

But in Advent’s world, we’re in the future. There’s electricity, air conditioning, labs, and cameras. Why not just attach a camera to a drone and figure out where the threat is coming from?

Fine, maybe flying titans could knock down the cameras. But what about satellites? Why didn’t anyone think to check satellite imagery? The titans didn’t attack everywhere at once, so someone could have looked up and figured out what was going on and where they’re coming from. Problem solved.

2. The Walls

I already saw someone talk about it, but wanted to mention one more thing.

The construction of the walls also doesn’t make sense. People are surrounded by titans, and building huge walls takes years. Even if the titans didn’t attack all cities at once, the logistics of constructing such massive barriers in such a short amount of time don’t add up. Not to mention, the walls don’t withstand attacks from these giant monsters. The titans can fly over them or dig under them — so what’s the point of having them at all?

In Attack on Titan, the walls themselves were unbreakable, and there was a mystery behind their construction, which was explained later in the story. But the author of this work didn’t seem to bother with these details.

3. What have the reconnaissance been doing?

In Attack on Titan, the scouts faced immense losses and spent years trying to gather any bit of information. They had to figure out how to kill titans by targeting specific weak spots, and they didn’t have modern technology to help them. That’s why they spent years exploring beyond the walls with little success.

In contrast, the local scouts here have modern weapons, cameras, and transportation. The titans can be killed with basic attacks, so why haven’t they figured out where these titans are coming from and why? It just doesn’t make sense.

4. The Global Underground Rail Network

To me, of the most puzzling element in this story is the Magistral, the high-speed underground rail network that supposedly connects different continents.

A) How Was It Built?

The Aides, those worm-like titans, live and travel underground. The author himself even mentions that they’re tough opponents because they literally live in the ground. So, how did humanity manage to build an underground highway under constant threat from these creatures? And why they haven’t destroyed it yet?

B) How Was It Built Across Oceans?

The cities in this world are on different continents (for example, in Canada and in Japan), separated by vast oceans. The average depth of the Pacific Ocean is nearly 4 kilometers. Also the author claims that this Magistral is a “ring”. But how could they build a high-speed rail network at such distances and depth in just 48 years, especially while the remaining remnants humanity were battling underground monsters? For comparison, the Eurotunnel took 7 years to build just 50 kilometers!

This concept just doesn’t make sense to me. If humanity had the technology to build such an underground highway across oceans, surely they would have the means to figure out where the titans are coming from and how to stop them.

In short, first two episodes didn’t impress me. Maybe the author will come up with some brilliant, logical explanations later on, but for now, it all feels weak and full of holes. I do hope the story gets better, but as it stands, it raises too many questions that either don’t have a logical explanation yet, or, if answered, would break the world’s logic and its original rules.

Posting this because I feel like this person raised many good points regarding the new story.

Confession:

can anton like.... tone down the diamond cost of some choices in an3???? 154 for saving a man and helping a little girl, are you for real here? it costs like a solid sex scene, and for what? to get into the bunker (we will get here anyway) and to get some stats? i mean yea, in his mind this may be important but for avid rc enjoyer or some players who does not want to spend their diamonds on choices like that this price makes zero sense
