[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page!
My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est:Well, that sums up the situation. There are three strong swear words in the whole of Gaia as far as I remember. Ryn’s “Oh, shit!” inBreaking All Barriers #160, San’s “Shit” inThe Way Back Home #27 and Ryker’s “Bullshit!” in The Way Back Home #35. I detest stories with excessive swearing. It’s amateurish and cheap.

Although the words don’t bother me personally, constant swearing using profanity and vulgarity weakens any shock value or other intended impact of those words, and indicates a profoundly restricted vocabulary.
As someone who dislikes reading it, I’ll just say “Thank you.”
Thank you very much.
If it has to be used, saving it for the most rarest of high impact situation is much preferred.
But to the story itself. Doesn’t San have one of those stream measuring things? Can’t she tell that the spell is still out there and/or that Lili is still around? I suppose that probably takes a bit to do, and in the mean time, they have to face the fact that Lili may be dead.

On the other hand, from some characters, it might be realistic AND deliberate choice of personality trait. In Gaia, we have mostly highly educated characters, but when some low thug or, for example, sailor, speaks the same language it breaks suspension of disbelief.
Bonjour et merci beaucoup, High Priest San de Vertis.
How is the meeting with counselors and the king going?
@ HKMaly:
That’s a good poiint. I think their point is some authors’ over-reliance on swearing, especially nowadays. Comedians are bad for that, too.
