Mine is hal ig we already know what he'll do 💀

And it's unclear why he's underestimated; there's no evidence to support it.

I met Hannibal Lecter through SCD, and it's sad that even he deteriorates over time 😓

I'm obviously not Snow, stop sending him so many messages bruh how did so many people fall for the ragebait? I am stormzfather. I orchestrated this entire drama.

I was impersonating multiple people including thier writing styles, reverse psychology, layered deception, to throw you all of and make you think I was someone else. Literally none of you guessed this lmfao. Everyone kept saying their guesses just to give the obvious one I was pretending to be rather than the true manipulator behind the scenes 😏

Ok last post. Here's my takes:

Japanese > Chinese no diff. Literally any scaling system. Normal scaling? Y'all get negged by Beatrice, Blank, etc. Pure Methodology? Y'all get gapped by Akiyama.

Chen Ran: illogical reasoning merchant. Even a leap year isn't as big as his logical leaps.

90% of "chinese logical scaling top tiers": planning merchants. "I planned the whole novel ahh feat." Methodology 😭 Akiyama victims. Y'all use anything narrative and call it methodology just because there's a small explanation.

Don't get me started on the writing 🥀 I read 18LoH before sleep so I can fall asleep faster. Doesn't even work, just makes my head hurt and loses my braincells after reading the illogical reasoning the doesn't even connect .

Even Death Note has better writing.

Near > L low diff. Narrative obv.

Light is honestly underrated compared to L. Everyone acts like he's an antifeat merchant when the bigger antifeat merchant is L. Literally a whole ass post already on L being a fraud but L fans act like he mid diffs Light. "He was holding back bro" ok so? If he always holds back then he's always easy to outsmart so he scales low. And Light canonically won 🤣

So many post removals. Cord is so much better than this place. You can post almost anything without getting banned. This place has mods removing literally everything thay goes against their agenda 🫩 (literally 1984) I wasn't even the first to join and start jokeposting here, literally all of my friends have made alts just to see what's going on, there are like 20 accounts made within the past week alone in this subreddit and that's if you don't include the hidden lurkers.

Your best friend, your worst enemy, your closest ally... he might just be an alt account made by one of the people in my server ✌️

Also I tagged the post. Happy? 🥀 Boomer ahh requirements.

i realised two things doing this verse vs verse(side cast) <personal opinion>

>!All of Yuuichi’s friends suck so badly. They’re every type of bad friend I could think of, and Shibe is the worst. !<

>!my guy yuuichi was basically hard-carrying these traitors and idiots the entire time.Also, most games like the cote exams are actually pretty simple. The only difficulty comes from the context and the situations surrounding them. Honestly, though, that description is kind of a misnomer for both series.!<

>!and TG doesn't have that much of smart side cast in comparison with cote for crossverse matchups like others were telling TG doesn't have" intelligent characters" it has "smart characters " whatever that means!<

Pictures above pretty much spell out the current state of COTE scaling(Tsukishiro is there cuz according to a theory of Dax he's playing long game to be Koji's bitch in the end). Comment is humorous but not reductive, this is damn near what happens.

I'm boutta start calling the current wave of COTE scalers...the fourth wave. The wave prior the 5th where all hell breaks loose before the ending with wild bullshit glaze.

We are in the middle of fourth wave COTE scaling. This wave is basically where COTE fans DEADASS think Kinugasa and Scott Cawthon are the SAME PERSON dropping clues/riddles every other damn paragraph.

Some don't even believe this obvious bullshit, but simply fall in line purely to dickride COTE.

COTE is NOT FNAF y'all 😂😂😂. It's high-school nostalgia gooner fucking bait with a typical mystery plot mixed with some subtextual strategies to fill up space.

Written exams get no diffed cuz author ain't wasting time on the complexities of solving lebesgue integrals so he just says "here damn".

Special exams have obvious loopholes any mid tier would see and abuse.

Villains all get their introductory season where they aurafarm by doing smart things(Ryuen - Vol 4, Vol 5. Nagumo - Vol 8, Vol 9. Takuya - Y2V4)

Then said villains lose to the typical "I psychologically profiled you thus could predict everything you'd do in 10 different realities" and get no diffed in a fashion where they don't even fight back/showcase their intellectual capabilities of facing off someone in a standoff when it truly matters

Kinugasa is not dropping or leaving "What's in the box" riddles where you have to reread every paragraph. Nor has he even spread some sort of rhetoric like this prompting readers to even do so, dude just says some shit bout his holiday in afterword and mentions something about a future volume then "buh bye".

COTE is VERY on the nose and when it needs to be.. just as mysterious as any other novel, with plans outright explained or eventually explained for the reader.

There is no secret szechuan sauce hidden between the lines. And if there was(and it's credible/can be easily proven) then someone would've explained it by now.

Some have been explained and are pretty damn good. But it's like over time inflation has been kicking in 😂. You'd think someone posted a new doc, a reddit post or something. Nope 😂✌️. They're just gatekeeping and saying "go read the novel fake reader" 💀.

Then you read the novel...and you're like..."Ok I still don't see how Ryuen pushes Yokoya to high diff".

Then they just say "Larp larp fake reader and return to their discord den"

Novel has like bare minimum a dozen volumes left or so before completion yet you got dudes already saying they solved the plot or "completed Koji scaling".

Which other story has fans this deluded? Tell me so I can avoid them!!

Then they gatekeep what they "discovered" like that's what an assured person of being right would do.

"Nah you just dumb bro cuz you would know"

Ever heard of the Feynman technique? If you know then you should be able to explain it! Let us hear your take on what happened supposedly behind the scenes so we can be able to analyze it ourselves and give our judgement!

And I want to also say...if someone is analyzing what happened behind the scenes in a story. That's a fucking theory. Current COTE scaling is literally built on theories.

"But the theories make sense"

Some don't, and even if they did...that's STILL JUST A THEORY. Deadass gonna start calling Dax's version of Ayanokoji "Theory Ayanokoji".

Anyways...here's the waves.

First wave -

"Yeah Ayanokoji's cool and stoic. He inspires me cuz alpha male shit so Imma make sigma edits and 10 min stoicism videos. Plus he validates the ever so *slight* potential I can control others so let's make vids on how to copy what he does to manipulate others. He solos all cuz he looks cooler than all"

Second wave -

"Yeah Ayanokoji's cool so let's take more time to analyze his feats compared to others inverse and crossverse. His not-so-novel school environment downplays his reputation but the verse is actually competent with intelligent moments"

Third wave -

"Overrating feats go brrr. Take hyperboles or metaphors to heart. Transonic to FTL Ayanokoji scaling. Supergenius tier arguments go brrr. Koji can dodge bullets! Denting an elevator or breaking chair = wall level+(lowball) trust!!"

Fourth wave -

Deadass SCP and FNAF fanbase level delusions. Koji predicted everything perfectly from the start of COTE(WHAT?!). Gatekeep 99% of them and refuse to explain

To any COTE fan who hasn't gone past wave 2, just read the novel and chill out.

Stop using the "unreliable narrator" defense for Koji in situations where he has no reason to lie.

And when strategies/plans are explained, understand that as the process unless CLEARLY debunked otherwise in future volumes. And when I say clearly, I don't mean the author writing a line that is slightly inaccurate...as we can tell the difference.

They use chekhov's Gun as an argument, when some things in the story don't even get good payoffs.

Nagumo 👀...Takuya 👁👁...

What we should do is rely on what the story tells us, and stop playing pretend where we act as if we've uncovered everything that's going on.

They've merged what we know to be factual with theories and treat them like they're one n' the same.

Theories are only meant for when something has concluded with room for open ended interpretation.

COTE hasn't concluded. We are stuck with what Kinu has given us and anything beyond is headcanon. Now headcanon is cool...until you try to make it actual canon. And worse.. spread it like a virus misinterpreting the story for alot of people instead of it just being a cool "what-if".

Some of these theories these COTE guys got ain't even the most likely explanation, they're just versions of the story that best fit their narrative they need for Ayanokoji to be as smart as they can make him given the material.

So what should we do when the 5th wave hits? Let it land, let them glaze, then when the dust settles.. fight back. Watch. The same way they did Tomodachi Game..this will go where it belongs.

I've been kinda inactive recently. Its because I've realized I've read really really less fiction in general. I've read some good Mangas, like some of the top 10s on MAL, read like 4 SCD manga (Usogui, LG, TG and DN). Barely read a few novels, most of them are YA slop which is pretty embarrassing ngl. Recently this made me realize I've barely scratched the surface of good fiction.

Also considering I've crossed 20, the time I can devote to reading is less and less, the older I grow the more I realize my overall interest in learning and thinking in general is reducing. When I was a teenager I loved doing those ted ed riddles, loved learning new shit on the internet, loved watching slop infotainment on youtube, but this interest is slowly moving away from me. Hence why I liked SCD, it gave me the same sensation I had as a teenager, reading SCD made my brain feel like it was thinking. Hence why SCD is something I'll always be a part off.

But at my current literacy level, this feels like a disservice, I don't want to just keep yapping about the same old Lalo mid diffs Akiyama or Akiyama no diffs Light or Koji is a Yumeko victim or Light is a low tier or whatever. It has slowly gotten boring and its because I've stopped reading beyond the small shell I've constructed for myself.

I've become so comfortable, that I've refused to read beyond my capabilities.

Hence I'll be working on improving my overall media literacy.

I've started reading some good classics like Crime and Punishment, Les Miserables. Finished The Count of Monte Cristo (was a SLOG, but worth it).

I've decided to finish Umineko which is regarded as one of the best VNs of all time by a lot of people. Also I have to finish Reverend Insanity.

So hopefully, within a few months I can finish all these works, and maybe I'll start scaling Umineko and RI characters.

Although I've started to realize I'm getting a bit too old for this subreddit, I doubt there's mfs in their 21 on here. I'll probably be less active from now on either ways.

P.S : Yes I was inspired by some people on at r/writingscaling
Also I got a really good J*b yay! Gonna Koji my way into becoming the CEO next.

First you have the FN Light glazer. Ts guy literally made multiple alt accounts to glaze his own novel and thought we wouldn't notice. "I am officially going to let my friend write FN Light" brother you are the friend.

And then you have the Chen Ran fans arguing against everyone that doubts the logic of his deductions. "He deduced the hair colour of my great grandson's best friend in the 17th parallel universe while he had half his brain missing by using a passage from Journey to the West to keep himself sane and the pitch of my voice to deduce my descendants but it's logically explained bro!"

And then you have the Baku glazer that refuses to believe the new Chinese characters scale above Usogui, after reading like 2 chapters. Maybe he didn't even reach chapter 2 because that's where the reinterpretation of chapter 1 happens and based on his words, he still misunderstands chapter 1. This guy read half a chapter and decided Baku negs. This is like arguing against someone about which food tastes better when you haven't even eaten one of them.

And then you have the Death Note glazers in big 2026. Ts story was written 20 years ago and has more plot holes than 18LoH. Whenever a death note fan finds a plot hole in the manga, they ignore the intention of the author and call it a supernatural reasoning feat but whenever someone downplays the verse, they say it's invalid because the author didn't intend it.

And then you have the stop scalers. You can have "Jin Huang > Akiyama" and the stop scalers will be there to police the way you scale just because Akiyama's feats are more "logical and realistic"

Why do Akiyama fans even use a scaling system when they're going up against grounded verses like COTE? You don't even need a scaling system to win, just learn to argue better. The diff is going to be higher without a scaling system but nobody is going to discuss with you if you don't make the compromise.

And then you have the Sora fans in the big 2026. Pack it up dawg. These guys are even weirder than the COTE fanbase and the story has even worse writing than Liar Game.

And then you have the Fang Yuan glazers. They go up against omniscient characters, "only methodology bro only methodology!" Then the moment they go up against a grounded verse like Liar Game or Death Note, they switch back to normal scaling to say volume 1 Fang Yuan negs. It's over for FY, he's not top 1 in ANY system. He's not even top 10 in China anymore. The novel isn't even top 1 in writing because it doesn't even have an ending 🙏

And then you have the Vile Dominion glazers (the author's alt accounts). Brother... you're eliminating 90% of the potential readers by using that slop cover and having all the boring infodumping within the first few chapters of every volume. It's better to disperse it throughout the narrative.

And then you have the Ayanokouji glazers. Ayanokouji could say "spread your legs" and these guys will list 53 categories that it upscales. I heard someone even wrote a Harry Potter book length document glazing Ayanokouji.

And then you have the Chinese SCD glazers finding 700 SCD victimizers per day with an everchanging top 1. "Bro Chen Chong scales above Chen Qing who victimizes Chen Yang's cousin Chen Ran who happens to be the mainstream SCD victimizer by 17 layers of no diff." "Bro read this please bro Ang Xiao is the top 1 in logical scaling!" a few months later and we now have Ang Xiao getting victimised by 7 newly introduced characters.

And then you have the Doctor Who fans. "Bro comp doctor is insane! If you include the 7356 TV episodes, 2988 books, 46875 short stories, and 34 stage plays, he's going to become your top 1 in SCD pleaaaasee bro PLEASE watch them all from the start you're not gonna regret it."

And then you have that Zero Escape fan who can scale Akane as high as he wants because all of you are jobless and none of you can afford to buy the game to refute his takes.

The top part was just me joking but this bottom part is serious so listen closely because you might find it useful:

High IQ = truth-loving, low IQ = truth-aversion.

If you get annoyed when all these characters (such as the Chinese ones) that neg your favourite verse pop up, so you intentionally look for points to hate on them without having seen the works yourself (such as claiming it has bad writing without reading a single chapter or arguing irritatedly that they don't scale as high as your fave without having enough information to make this judgement), this is aversion to truth and a sign that you are low IQ.

If you hate something because it feels "bad" rather than actually being "incorrect" so you refuse to try and understand it because it contradicts your core biases/beliefs, thus closing off your mind and treating it as a joke or invalid, this is also a sign that you are low IQ (an example of this could be "evil" characters that scale high)

If the truth makes your heart jolt, try to understand why you feel that way. Maybe the "truth" is false and you're correct, but maybe your heart jolted because you felt like the truth was a threat to what you think you already know.

I know most of you guys aren't actually all that serious about the glaze so this is specifically on people who get super angry and threatened and irritated at the truth, turning off their minds from understanding anything too complex or counterintuitive when it goes against their previous ideas, people who dumb down the opponent's argument to treat it like a joke, people who strawman every time they are corrected despite knowing they are misrepresenting an argument. Don't make SCD your obstinate worldview.

&gt;He has an untraceable method of murder.

&gt;He narrowed the suspect list from 6 billion people, including a god, to only those within the Kanto education system with ties to the police.

&gt;He killed the FBI agents who went to Japan, further reducing the suspect list to only those under surveillance by those agents.

&gt;He failed to use the great advantage of Misa's Shinigami eyes.

&gt;L discovered he was Kira after just a conversation in a cafe.

&gt;He was deceived by Mello.

&gt;He was deceived by Near.

Why are there still people saying he's the smartest character in Death Note? That statement is incredibly stupid.

I feel like all the top mid and high tiers have a lot of aura but Akiyama doesn't seem to have that much. Another one is Takuya.

To what tiers these characters deserve to go?

The quality is just as low as Takuya Yagami's

Tokuchi Toua's FSIQ is Underestimated

​Tokuchi Toua, as a pitcher, is granted 18 seconds for each pitch. If we set aside 3 seconds for the ball's travel time, we are left with 15 seconds.

​PSI: During these 15 seconds, Tokuchi must adjust his pitching form, read the opponent's psychology, read the opponent's body language, and determine the breaking point of his special pitch by solving which pitch the opponent is weak against. In other words, Tokuchi must read many possible variations in his mind simultaneously within those 15 seconds.

​Additionally, despite becoming very tired on the field, he must also understand the general psychology and strategy of the opposing players off the field, strengthen the useless members of his own team, manage the team economically, and know/think about the in-game strategies, such as who will enter the game and when.

No matter how many things Tokuchi faced, his plans and manipulations were always perfect; this undoubtedly requires a massive PSI.

​VSI: Tokuchi used VSI specifically in every match to determine how the ball would travel and how he could adjust that breaking point before making his special pitch.

At the same time, Tokuchi was actively using the field to determine where the catchers would stand, which is again an active level of VSI. Visualizing a baseball field is undoubtedly very difficult.

​VCI: Since Tokuchi appeared with American soldiers at the beginning of the story, he likely knew English in addition to Japanese.

​WMI: Because the Saikawa One Outs contract became very complicated, Saikawa gave Tokuchi a summary of the contract; Tokuchi looked at it for one second, then closed his eyes and tore it up. He was able to memorize such a contract in that short amount of time.

Even though Tokuchi made this easier with the help of EQ, he was able to profile every character he saw throughout the series very easily; this includes Saikawa, as he created Saikawa's psychological profile the moment he sat across from him for the first time. ​

FRI: He was able to understand that a man working within the team was working for Saikawa immediately after one round ended.

He was able to understand the problems of the three useless people in the team and how to solve them, as well as their status and social standing, just by observing them.

He understood that all baseball teams would unite under the team named Galians to establish a single league system.

And dozens of other FRI feats could also be used.

Kira wincon: Light's goal is the same as being the god of by eliminating all crime in the new world and letting the world know that there’s someone passing judgment.

Modern-age wincon: to stop Kira, it could be by killing him, proving he is Kira, or by having light die before achieving his goal.

I think I should set up the situation just a bit.

Scenario: Light was able to convince the world that someone/ thing exists that is directly killing people without actually being there like he did in the original series. Now the rest of the modern age who’s interested in the case is on the hunt.

"Near is so smart bro, he had to go up against literal geniuses unlike Liar Game's NPCs."

im finally done with my doc for “the mastermind” of AAI2, or >!Simeon Saint!< .

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12IkjrySrwt04QiSh2Q4PamAoJ57heLMrxEWcsZCRFrY/edit?usp=drivesdk

this is my first ever doc so by no means do i think it will be great, so for those who read it i would be glad to get criticisms. i will definitely be revising it in the future with that being said, i dont suggest using this for your scaling of them if you’ve never played the game(you shouldn’t do this period tbh)

for my scaling of them, i consider them on the border of mid-high tier and high-high tier, so basically any characters who beat them are high end high tiers.

I have some of my personal explanations on why they’re good in certain categories in the end and would be happy to answer any questions regarding their scaling.
