About this listen

Dragon Prince, will you choose the Light Path or the Dark? Neverfall does not forgive weakness. It will take everything - and everyone - from you unless you have the power to conquer it.

Luke is haunted by his friends’ near deaths when they faced off against the much stronger Beta player, Manon. While he was able to strike down Manon, and revive his friends using his Special Ability, Dragon Call, he knows that he cannot depend upon the Ancient Black Dragon Asharoth to always save them in the dangerous and unforgiving world of Neverfall.

So when Luke discovers that there are two different magical paths to be taken in the game - the Light and the Dark - he realizes that he has a very serious choice to make. At least, he thinks he has a choice. But does being the Dark Lord’s son mean that he’s already aligned with the darkness? And does Luke, as a potential Dark Path walker, face greater dangers than he realizes?

C. Wintertide is a lifelong gamer and storyteller who has spent many hours playing sword and sorcery RPGs like The Witcher, Persona 5, Final Fantasy, Dragon Age, and also old-school D&D, from which came a lot of the inspiration for the adventuring party of Neverfall.

This was kinda fun as a Star Wars rip off, and there are still interesting aspects such as Chris and his fall into the dark path.

But for the MC, it seems like the author has no interest in giving the character any agency. Did he really choose any path? Was there even any debate on the merits of the light? Why not forge a new path, a path completely separate from either, or a mixture of the best parts of both?

Nope. The author has a massive boner on having a dark path MC edge lord, and it shows.

That combined with glacially slow leveling, fetch quests and OP, one of a kind deus ex machina abilities are turning this into a bit of a chore.
