Tiberius Rising Jace publishes absurd new chapter in Tiberius Rising

[Konstantinos]

Every time I think Jace's writing couldn't become more deranged and confusing he surprises me.

I will say, this chapter raises some new fascinating questions about the lore of Tiberius Rising. Why is Stryker "waitignf" for the go-time? Why is the leader of the evil brown people a Russian guy named "Jackknife?" How is his bomb defusal armor deflecting sustained machine gun fire at point blank range? Why is there so much homoerotic tension between Stryker and his men? Why does Stryker have a "tactical throwing hatchet?" What practical application would that have in the field?

It's been said before but but it certainly bears worth repeating. Jace's understanding of the military is based on almost nothing else but the more recent Call Of Duty games and the WWE. Pretty much everything you see in Tiberius Rising was at least influenced by (if not completely ripped wholesale from) Call Of Duty: The "juggernaut armor", the heavily modified AK-47, and the grossly overwrought gunfights, were all seen in some form in the Call Of Duty games, and probably nowhere else in real life.

He's fallen into a fairly easy writers mistake. God forbid I've actually gotten to the point where I can call him a writer, but he has fallen into one of the traps that even I've once did a lot.

Just plain writing is not the same as making progress. Detail and word count does not equate into meaningful story progression and character development.

There's nothing meaningful in this chapter, nor in most of the games he uses to rip off the literary elements from. Even Jenkin's death doesn't feel right with the cliche Nooing and how meaningless it is.

Also even though Jackknife was referenced in a few chapters before during an interrogation, he's just as shallow as Stryker himself and yadda yadda yadda.

Once again I have no idea what he's doing in this story and if he ended it here it would make perfect sense.

New chapter.

Here we go again

You know, I predicted that the story will end with Stryker, now Master of the US, launching a missile at every primarily Muslim nation Jace can think of (or just at the Middle East). The way the story's going, it might just happen.

And we finally found out why it's named Tiberius Rising! Stryker's callsign is Tiberius... which went unmentioned until now.

This is amazing. I like the scene where Stryker and his compatriots spend six pages killing every living thing in the room with bullets and have a sustained parkour battle with a large Russian holding two AK-47s, but the thing that alerts all the bad guys in the base is a "NOOOOOO."
