This is one of those fics where, while the premise is interesting (even though I'm not a fan of the premise of HIE in general), I feel like the word count as-is is too high to make it worth catching up on until the fic is finished.
So I'm curious how close it is to completion, or if it's one of those that'll just keep on going indefinitely.
Ah, I've been waiting for this! Love this story. nice chapter overall with nothing too extreme, but I've always liked the more SOL chapters. I am super invested in Navi's body though, if you know what I mean, and can't wait to see the new additions in action.
Oh hey, I was just thinking about this a couple days ago.
This had me dying in so many ways.
And speaking of dying, I fucking love A Game at Dinner. Tribunal didn't do Helseth justice.
High risk, high potential reward. Also I love that Taya has picked up on the idea of tr-
Oh, god damn it.
10695278
Yeah. Same here. You start to get a feeling for it.
10695145
There is a definitive arc in this fic. I don't know how much WMID has planned but i reckon we're about 2/3rd of the way through
10695387
Hmmmm... I think I'm better off just waiting for it to finish (however long that takes)
*cough*
Cool to see more of the dream machine's capabilities explored. I can see something like it being a real invention. The ability to control our dreams, to fantasize, play, or even work productively would be revolutionary. You could spend your sleep time working a desk job and spend your wake time however you want (of course, the standard work week would probably just double to 80 hours instead...). I'm not sure if it would be possible to hijack the dreams of anyone without some sort of device positioned a lot closer, such as a wearable device to actually hijack your brain, but that wouldn't be too far from what you depict in this story. Various companies are even working on researching and developing brain control interfaces. Basic stuff, like reading basic things like emotions, but who knows where it could go. Though advancements far enough to allow hijacking dreams is no guarantee.
I'm betting Nav's cocoa was made with water. That's the definition of disappointment right there. You have to use milk! Tastes so much better. Unless you're lactose intolerant I suppose. Then I would permit water, I GUESS.
10695145
In universe has hinted a few upcoming story arcs so there's still a bit to go for sure. It does FEEL like we're getting closer to the end, but who knows.
"all at once."
You set quite a few doom flags for that deer meeting. I am looking forward to it all going wrong.
~KBO.
This is a method of poisoning that I would never have thought of
10695145
Oh it’s a good read definitely. Sometimes I feel like it drags its feet a bit, but it’s still an excellent story all the way through.
That ending was hilarious there debating on what’s a appropriate punishment and reward system on the basis of ditching each other in a hostile situation
Ames saying he cried after his first dream was pretty wholesome.
10695145
Not counting loose ends, we really only have a few potential arcs left;
The Invasion
Uniting of the Nations
and the final Confrontation.
Of course, there's side-plots out and about. I've give It, I dunno... Another ~+120 or so chapters, based on recent arc lengths and the fact that the invasion probably isn't going to happen quickly. Things have been too quiet for Navarone for the past, dunno, nearly 40 chapters. The only time in the past Navarone has gotten this much of a 'break' from life/or/death situations Is when It's leading up to an absolute chaotic fuckfest.
The current arc (Pageant) is likely going to conclude with Nav's pick. After that? Who knows. DoaMM certainly could go on forever - Hell, In less than 2 years, we'll have the 10 year anniversary of DoaMM. It's literally only 18 Months away.
I'd say give it a read. It might look intimidating, but you got all the time in the world to go through the fic at your own pace.
10695390
You'll be waiting for at least another two or three years, then. Probably longer.
10695145
I think the main things are that the story is very heavy in dialogue, so a few thousand words will go by and seem like not a lot has happened. On the other hand, there has been so much stuff that's happened that the story is almost completely unrecognizable from where it started.
10695387
We still have no idea where the rock is
10696328
Yeah, that coma brought so such back to the forefront of my mind. So much squeezed in, and so much more that was renewed
Waifu wars
Servitors arguing over the best way to remove the problems of their masters?
At least they didny get as far as racialdietry peculiarities and binay etc mixes.
Make the correct normal food, serve in silver with amalgem?? edging, and let the saliva etc catalyse mercury reactions as neurotoxin?
10695145
Once you're 25 chapters in around Egypt you realise its honestly not impossible to complete. I've read it through twice in about a year. First time took 3 months, second time took 5. And now I've been taking a break as not to make it become boring. The entire Harry Potter series is 1.1 million words, by the way. Pfft. Weak.
10695926
I can imagine a twist arc after the uniting of nations.
"the return of humanity", where by some machination left embedded into the various bits of tech left behind, and the elementals, and so on, that humanity found a way to compel it's way to the future, sparking a new conflict as they usurp many of the United Nations more powerful tools and turn them against Nav.
that would be a lengthy extender in and of itself.
10695145
I actually wouldn't mind if it kept going forever, the story has some of the most interesting and multi-sided unpredictable characters I've seen in any story, let alone fan fic.
But I also know how selfish that is to ask, WMID is challenging this like a duty rather than a dream, so I think he'll probably celebrate once its actually done, and push for it to actually be done.
I kinda wish he enjoyed writing the story more, honestly, or as much as we liked reading it, that's all I wish here.
I found out why these chapters go on for so long. It's kinda a bunch of filler. Or just conversations that really didn't need to happen. But I don't really care cause I live this story too much
10695145
Honestly yeah, the word count is imposing but I've read through it about 3 times at this point and with my reading speed that's right around 400-450 hours total, quite a bit of time invested in a story that I'm willing to admit I don't actually enjoy. The real hardest part about reading it is the fact that it's kind of just torture porn for a lot of the duration, watching the mc get walked over and having almost nothing go his way, not to mention the amount of fetishes inserted into the story. Many of the characters are insufferable and Nav wont do anything serious about them despite stating that he will, the only reason i was exited for the coma was because I thought he would get a spine and instead he got an illusion of one confronting people and then doing nothing with it. Essentially he tells people why they are bad and then says he doesn't care if they stop he just wanted to let them know, a doormat that tells you walking on it is rude but does nothing to stop people will still get walked on. In reality the word count isn't what should make you weary of reading it, but the odd character choices and plot points that seem to be made to frustrate a reader as much as possible.
Anyway this was going to be me telling you that this story isn't that long and you should give it a read, but as always I remember that I have nothing good to say about the story past the first like 70 chapters other than that the quality of the writing is very high and the world/characters are highly intricate if infuriating. Come to think of it the mc is a doormat early in the story and it just takes that long into a read for me to get annoyed by it. overall 5/10 will probably read again in a few months when I forget why I dislike this fic.
10697305
Go on for so long? They feel like they're zipping past to me.
It's mostly because there's not much that needs to be digested. This feels like Nav's "big break" from getting put to the sword. There's nothing to fully grab your attention because, whilst what's happening is important, It Is not immediately threatening. I'm sure in 50-60 chapters we'll read through the pageant arc again and go like "How in the fuckity fuck did I miss this".
The Aqua arc was significantly shorter, but felt like It went by a thousand times slower, because every chapter was genuine agony (for me at least) to read through. A lot was happening, a lot needed to take time to settle and get worked through, and It didn't help that we were privy to Navarone's utter despair throughout it all.
... is Nav actually considering going to a country with unknown and at least moderately powerful magic and an uncertain to hostile diplomatic relations with Equestria without a weapon or guards?
I thought Nav was going to stop letting themself be pushed around and bowing to others whims in favor of laying down their own vision of the future.
Uncoitused? Are you making that up? I can't find it defined anywhere.
edit: Oh, nvm. I see it now.
10701287
Coitus is a way to say sex, so in this context he is essentially telling her to unsex her personality or more fittingly unfuck her personality.
10697083
Psst, the reason I stayed vague was to write the comment without spoilering the upcoming story for the new guy :p
10695926
Isn't that something? The story might very well live longer than the series it was based in.
Question: The purpose of physical combat is to train muscle memory, increase response actions, and strengthen the body. So wouldn't training in the dreamscape negate the purpose for combat training at all? It only involves the brain after all.
Is it more intended as a mental exercise, to decrease hesitancy in attacking an opponent and initiate the fight response over the flight response?
Ok where did this come from.
Finally. Twilight is obviously the superior choice.

Nav is going with Taya who is pretty OP and they spent a good chunk of this chapter saying the deer were more bark then bite. Toss in Nav's reputation with the deer (ie completely dominating the war games and overthrowing SEVERAL notable powers) which was also mentioned in the chapter and the deer's relationship with Equestria (semi vassal state if I recall correctly) realistically unless Nav,Taya or Fleur causes an issue (possible I will admit) Nav's journey to the deer's land will probably be summed up as "the deer were xenophobic pricks but they send a representative to the pageant"
While the battles between Fleur, Twiggles, Celestia, and Moonbeam are interesting (and hilarious at times), at this point, I'm more interested in figuring out who the surprise fifth contestant is. We had one hint at the mysterious "Red", but I think Spike was the only one present, and Nav forgot.
10713560
I think Red Is going to be a fire elemental - The purified essence of the demon queen, probably.
10714003
He mentioned Red would replace someone he grew very close to. I guess it's possible for that to be the case, with the "someone" being Flo, but I feel like that would be odd given the future tense.
As a side note, anyone got a rough timeline? It's been a bit since Africa, and Nav said something about being at least a year since he'd meet Red.

It was an actual practice because all it takes is controlling WHO gets the poisoned silverware, glasses, china, etc. and boom, doesn't matter what goes IN the containers or what food is eaten, the poison works. Plus if you do this with glasses and hide them until the right time, the film of poison that is formed when prepping it keeps for a LONG time, so you can prepare it far in advance.
Let's say the king has a particular goblet he LOVES using during the largest banquets he holds. Lets say that he holds these during certain holidays that are predictable, and that's the ONLY time he uses that goblet. This means they can poison the goblet and return it to storage MONTHS in advance, and then there's no perpetrator to catch because they're long gone. After all, only the king uses that goblet. And if that fails, they can just try something a bit more direct.
It also aids in the delivery of binary poisons. That is, you have two substances, A and B, which combine to form C, which is a poison. substance A can be swabbed onto the silverware or whatever, and substance B can be added to something else. Then, all it takes is making sure that both substances are ingested within a close enough timeframe to form substance C. So for example, you could put substance A in the king's morning tea or coffee or whatever, and substance B into his dinner provided that substance A doesn't clear his system fast enough.

It has been what, 3-4 months since the entire psychedelics chapter? Bcs we had our little 'god' unicorn, then they got what they came for with hawaii as they freed the fire, then they headed back, Demon Queen.mp4 situation, then we had the dragon thingy... Yeah, I think I'd give it at most 6 months since Red was first mentioned.
10714216
Do you have any examples of this happening in history? Google is being stubborn.
Just noticed that this story broke 3 MILLION words! Not only is that a feat in and of itself, it also does so while keeping the story interesting. Most other stories on this site with >1m words I find are a chore to read, as if the author’s only intention was to write a long story, not a good one.
I’m always looking forward to updates on this story. Sometimes when I can’t find any good books to read and no other fics catch my interest I find myself re-reading this. The fact that there’s usually a new chapter or two once I reach the end again is also a plus : )
It was a joke that so perfectly fitted this scene. I'm suprised it is the first time I have ever seen it.
Tell me where that quote is from.
Remember when Doppel used to make herself small and sit on Nav's head? I wish it happend here.
10695415
I am, and I would still prefer milk.
10696939
Damn, I thought I read pretty quickly.
I have read Fallot Equestria: Murky Number Seven (1.1m) in last 3 months. Actually finished it 3 days ago, that's why I am here so late after the update.
Even if we are having some nonthreatening events, it still is such a joy to read. I think I've said it not so long ago already, but still. There is no other book with such crazed character interactions. If you showed it to somebody, they would think that all the characters are insane (they kind of are though).
I also want to point out that I have not seen a single grammatical error in this chapter, it says something about the quality.
10729368
That's a whole different fetish.
.....granted now that nav is half tree, that's a real possibility going forward.
10712740
They might start a cult though tbh. If nature is their whole shtick (aside from being arrogant dicks), and Nav shows up looking the way Nav does, pretty good chance they'll get mistaken for some kind of nature god or spirit or something. Even all the slaughter they saw old nav do could work, and might actually encourage the cult to form. Something about the circle of life and the duality of nature, death and regrowth, all that jazz. Whether it's a "blood for the blood God" type cult, a "pamper the princess" type cult, or a "spontaneous bacchanalian orgy" type cult is another question entirely though. Possibly all of the above. I mean, average deer? They probably go for one of the latter routes. I mean, half the story is basically about nav suffering through social situations, so getting pampered by another species would fit. That was kind of already done with the monkeys though, so it probably wouldn't be just that. Nav's trying to sleep around less and settle down a bit, so the orgy route might be an interesting inner cinflict. But if there's deer nobles, they might be into some shady shit and make live sacrifices or something. That and/or blood orgies. I mean, deer biology is pretty nasty sometimes too, what with how a lot of antlers grow.

Nav is half tree, pretty magical, with practically infinite stamina half the year. Humans need to practice to build muscle because we dont really have all of that. I'm not even actually sure if Nav even can strengthen their muscles through use anymore, what with all the plant fuckery. Nav doesn't really need to practice for the exercise, just to learn what to do, how to do it, and how to respond to stuff. Since training their muscles is less important, they basically just need experience moving their body, and as long as their dream body is accurate to their IRL one, the dream experience should carry over. They won't get physically stronger, they'll just improve their technique and how well they react.
That, and having nanomachines kinda makes building muscle memory manually kinda ridiculous. It's easier to just get Flo to download and reinforce the junk you learn into your muscle memory for you. You just need to learn it first so she'll have something to work with. Boop, you know karate now.
10734593
I often forget DoaMM has sex scenes, then I see something like this and get confused for like, 10 minutes lmao.
And it's still ongoing- Celestia’s mother...
10695926
Pretty apt description--and those chaotic fuckfests weren't even involving Discord (that we know of). ♫
10760984
whoops, sorry. not the first time I've done that. prolly won't be the last either
10740766
I thought this book was written in present tense. That's how most of the chapters are written. Your newer ones seem to get more past tense
God this new dream magic is fucking broken.
Please tell me you will use this at least once:
1 - group dreaming enemy army together
2 - Terminate all dreamers.
You surely have to use this insanely broken method of waging war at least once. Maybe not with demons. You could make them not need sleep and have an actual epic battle, but surely with something else.
I love how dense the chapters are but I don't personally care how little time passes in each chapter. It feels like the story is crawling when it used to be jogging.
