Hi!

Just wanted to know what people think of Carrot and Stick so far?

I'm having fun with it (Obviously) but I'm genuinely curious to see what everyone else thinks! I've gotten some fantastic feedback, and lots of good ideas on the discord, but I could always use more <3

There's art on the way as well, but it's not done yet!

It's fun, like you but Broc in a dark edgy world but oops the power of being happy is stronger. Fun vibes.

DareDaemon

It's fun so far, hard to tell where it's going but that's fine it's early in the story.

Silly and fun, having a great time so far!

I didn’t like it at first because it didn’t seem to have any direction. The world building is confusing, the Main Character is a likable savant, and the side character is a bit too incompetent. And both are in their own heads way too much. Still, I want to like it.

M. Whitmer

I agree it similar to what if Broccoli decided to be a "dark magical girl" with all the same personality quirks that come with someone that upbeat and happy trying to be "dark and edgy." it's cute it works and hey carrot even has a mentor figure that hopefully wont die tragically in an act of her hubris like the trope so often does. in fact that should be the climax of the book have Carrot do something that require Silas to "sacrifice himself." Then when it turns out to be a minor inconvenience instead of the deadly situation she thought it was, have her be slightly disappointed that she misses out on that trope.

I'm enjoying it, but... you seem to have a habit of starting new projects rather than finishing old ones. I've been reading a lot of your writing, and you usually get them to a the-story-is-done-for-now-but-there's-still-more-to-the-arc-coming place before moving on to the next thing. I'd like to see more stories _finishing_ than starting something new.

Speaking strictly to the story, I like how it appears you're subverting the usual tropes of a master teaching an apprentice (e.g. Mister Miyagi, or even something life Buffy). Normally in those stories a master usually takes on the apprentice with the aim of redirecting the person of immense potential into a saviour situation, where it's clearly a one-way relationship. Instead, Silas is reluctant and the apprentice is propping the door open for him before it shuts on his life. It has the feel to me, instead of the aforementioned trope, a lot like a buddy cop story where the two ... seemingly incompatible individuals learn to appreciate and work with one another. Carrot is earnest and Silas is the straight man trying to navigate a ridiculous set of circumstances.

I'm having a lot of fun with it. Especially with the last chapter, I appreciate it that Silas seems to actually have something to teach Carrot, so he's not just a helpless observer in the story. I'm very interested to see how the magic system works and how, exactly, Carrot breaks those rules over her knee.

Robert Mullins

I really like it so far. I am curious about the wider magical society and what involvement they'll have if the story is staying in this area where there currently isn't anyone. There's also the question of where the plot will go after this current guy is dealt with considering that he may be the only non-trivial threat out here in the middle magical nowhere. Unless of course, something happens that draws magical threats and allies to the area

Robert Mullins

Also, does carrot have school? Is she on break or what?

RavensDagger

:( Unfortunately, after thinking about it long and hard, uh, I don't know if I can change this? It's just how my brain do? I don't feel creative about stuff all the time, not unless I take a long break before getting back to it?

Exonator

Well, that's sadly just how creativity works. I would love to see more frequent chapters for SCS, rather then new stuff. BUT! I know how long term projects can be very demanding and eventually become kinda boring. Sometimes you just need new stuff, get it out of your system, then return to the "regular" projects with hopefully renewed energy. Atleast its better than just scrapping ongoing series because one loses the drive for them slightly. Atleast that's how I deal with that type of creative problem.....that or just leaving it alone for months or years....

Michael Esparza

Really loving the story so far. I am sick right now and my brain is foggy so I don't have anything consecutive to add.

Melting Sky

One of my favorite stories on here.

Alloni Kramer

Ah, well - it was an observation and a hope, not an expectation. I'll still keep reading your work and appreciating it - thanks!

Boenn

I've been enjoying it so far. The one thing that has been bothering me is how weak Silas is. Like... He's meant to be like a tier 4 wizard which was sent solo to deal with a minor demon incursion, so I'd expect some fighting competency. But for now we only saw him running or getting kicked around. Personally, I'd like to see a threat that Carrot can't deal with the brute force of her magic, but Silas, with his more traditional and academic approach to magic can figure out and defeat. (But like.. Silas, not some trinket he brought with him or a bog standard way of dealing with that particular threat) I think it would be a nice way to show that while Carrot has massive magical reserves, she has an even greater potential to improve.

Freija

It alright. Im probably going to drop it.

MurphyzLaw

I like it, mostly. It's tough, because I really like Save Scumming and SCS too. They're my three favorite works you've written. I agree with the comments about Silas needing to be a bit more capable. It makes sense that he could be a bit naive about how the wider works if he's been living in a magical enclave, and that he's still effectively in a state of shock, but he's also apparently a wizard cop/demon control/whatever, who's considered competent enough to allow out on his own. Clearly, Carrot is insanely powerful, but Silas should have something to contribute too (knowledge and preparation?). Otherwise it will quickly become far, far less interesting.

Steven

I agree, Silas needs some love!

ScarletIce

I'm a bit torn. On the one hand, it's really good and I'm really enjoying it. On the other hand, I really really want more Agartha Loop and this is the second new story you've started that kinda overlaps with Agartha Loop's themes. I just worry that it's going to get neglected in favor of the shiny new stories.

LagDemon

It's great and I want more.

I've just read it now, it's neat. Carrot lacks depth, but they have your usual charm. I definitely want to see where it's going, will follow along from now on.

Chris Volcheck

I am enjoying the story and look forward to more.

Ran

I'm insanely jealous that Carrot got to watch the full Agartha Loop 😔

Dennis

another one of yours I enjoy

Charles k

I'm enjoying it, and I like the dual perspectives.

traxx

I think it's pretty good so far. It very much feels like Carrot is a reused character though. I think underestimated cute girl is a well worn niche for you. In things not related to the story, I'm starting to think that nothing you write will ever end. I would love to have satisfying conclusions to something by now but you just keep starting new stories. Ive started to just sort of look at them like webcomics, not actual books.
