Bro makes the hottest commissions but the most boring comic

>>269999 Tis the condundrum of slow burn.

>>269999 Yeah, and it's all gavhaslop unfortunately.

>>269999 I only follow him for the drawings, I couldn't give less of a shit about "WG comics" (more like soap operas). But even then he's been kinda lacking lately

I have been watching this comic for a while, and I'm finally going to break my silence. I dare say that Belt Buster's "Domino Effect" so far has the best writing among any (reasonably) realistic, long form weight gain comics. The somewhat relatable and likable main character, being subtly pushed into the center of this romance drama mystery at the start really earned my attention. I dare say that the slow pacing, and non-weight, non-romantic story aspects help build the immersion of realism and often improves the story. And while Belt Buster is a great artist, I (and possibly others) do not like any art of blob-fats. Getting to see his art of female weight gain without the inclusion of any beyond USSBBW (so far), is great. I suppose it is kind of obvious now that either Emma or Tanya will get paired with Nikolai by the end of the comic. Mari was a possible candidate at the start, but quickly lost viability due to the lack of screen time and then presumably having questioningly consensual sex with Fredrick. Marie-Anne looked like a fourth candidate, but she also lost viability due to both the lack of screen time, and the reveal of her morally-dubious role in her brother's plus-size modeling agency. And Nina was simply far too rude towards Nikolai, and joined way too late to have any real chance with him. But we could all be wrong. I just hope there is no harem ending for Nikolai. That would just be tasteless. Also, even ignoring the lack of fat fetish content, the comic still has some problems. 1. Nikolai reverting to an animalistic state and groping Emma, then Tanya, and then fighting with Elijas, on three seperate occasions, and getting away with it each time, feel like bad story writing decisions. Mari's earlier lecture to Emma, Tanya, and Marie-Anne about men repressing their emotions and then lashing out, is just a crappy excuse for enabling certain incel. behavior. If this flaw of Nikolai comes up again, I hope he gets properly confronted for any such degenerate behavior as he realistically should, and then learn to control his primitive urges. 2. The fight scene between rabid Nokolai and Elijas was just stupid and cringe-y on its own. Some stupid stuff is permissible, given that all the main characters are young adults, but that scene was just bad and pointless. I'm glad it was kept short. 3. As a heterosexual male, I can understand why any male weight gain would be unpopular, and inferior to female weight gain. However, I feel that none of the male weight-gain has been given too much focus, and can simply be ignored. It's an integrated part of the story's plot, and I suggest just to deal with it. It's not that bad. 4. The inclusion of the Obnoxious American Tourist that was introduced. I doubt think Belt Buster could have unintentionally screwed up a believable American stereotype so poorly. Even so, there are so many other stereotypes he could have used, some as suggested in the previous thread. 1. Have the American dress and act like bandit Keith, and have him CONSTANTLY boast about how much greater the United State's military, guns, measurement units, industrial complexes, fast food, legal freedoms, and culture, are APARENTLY so much better than that of any other nation. 2. Make the American tourist a blatantly bigoted, politically far-right, arrogant fool who wears a cheap leather hat and speaks in a fake Southern United States Accent. 3. Make the American tourist a blatantly bigoted, politically far-left, pathetic fool with their hair dyed some bright unnatural color, who constantly self victimizes themselves, calls others bigots, and makes baseless legal threats. 4. Have the American act like one of those spoiled, ignorant, disrespectful nuisance streamers who have no idea what they are doing. Or my favorite American stereotype: 5. Just have the three American tourists be comically fat, rude, and unwilling to compromise. Then, being in theme of this weight gain comic, have the three male tourist's have American girl friends who are all comically fatter than them. (I'm so proud to be an American citizen) Really, Belt Buster screwed this aspect up so badly, it's ironically hilarious. Anyway, that was my essay.

>>270069 Holy shit 5 would have been peak modern Americana. I think a combination of 4 and 5 could have worked. Belt failed here hard.

>>270087 Of course he had to make her older, goddamnit

>>270116 College years implies she’s no older than her early 20s Why would you have an issue with her being older than her early 20’s, huh?

>>270116 Belts drawn Blue Archive character before... why do they fucking care now?

>>270120 Because I like underage characters, okay? I don't give a shit about your opinion, so feel free to insult me

>>270122 assuming this isn't bait just don't be surprised if/when you get beat to death for saying this irl

>>270123 I'm not stupid enough to say it in real life, unless some dumbass found my personal info or whatever

>>270069 I'm sure the story in the comic is great, but I just cant take it seriously when the main thing should be about making girls fat. If Belt wanted to make a serious love comic then don't include the weight gain cuz then that's what people want to see the most and it sucks getting blueballed when the only thing you see is characters sitting and talking with each other. If you like the story then good for you, but im not gonna spend my time reading 50 pages just to then see a 3 page weight gain sequence

>>270069 Mentioning how a harem ending would be tasteless is rather funny when you also pointed out how Nikolai has made like a harem protagonist in molesting two of the main girls with no comeuppance. Emma and Tanya are head over heels for Nikolai so him getting 'punished' for this seems off the cards. Lets not forget how Mari may or may not have raped Fred and yet they're still being paired together. Belt's got a strange sense of double standards for including 'realistic' and then completely unrealistic elements within his comic, especially while failing to do so in ways that feel congruent with the flow of the narrative. It honestly makes me think he genuinely believes the crap he writes in regarding stuff like male sexual repression and his depiction of americans. Mark my words, man'll end up having Nikolai unironically advocating for racial purity or some shit by the end of this.

>>270069 >The fight scene between rabid Nokolai and Elijas was just stupid and cringe-y on its own. Some stupid stuff is permissible, given that all the main characters are young adults, but that scene was just bad and pointless. I'm glad it was kept short. This and Nikolai having an evil "dark" side reels of edgey robloxian high school oc shit.

>>270069 That seemed well thought. So, as someone who readed the whole thing, how do you think that a corset subplot could have been implemented in the story? Or does it not fit in this kind of story?

the other threads not even dead yet and here we are having melt downs with this one in its infantsy

>>270122 You’re a pedophile and I hope you get your shit rocked when somebody finds out

>>270234 >Bro's getting this mad over drawings. What kind of skeletons do you have? Belt has drawn tons of underage characters, are you going to accuse them too?

>>270241 >Goons to loli, but still throws the first stone...

>>270087 Who is this char? Serika from blue archive or something?

>>270241 Belt always ages then up whenever he draws them. But for sites like DA etc that doesn't matter so its better to just hide the name and hide all context. In previous drawings he made the underage characters drink beers and such as a way to age them up, he would also choose the older design over the younger if they were underage.

>>270116 >>270122

>>270268 Holy cope.

>>270290 You can check it yourself, even the Marina piece he did it. When Yoko rework won the pool, he did the older design instead.

>>270269 Good, good. Let the hatred flow, you hypocrites

>>270130 how far have we degenerated as a species to just allow blatant admissions of being a pedophile like this go unchallenged?

>>270340 Ask the mods. They're the only ones who can do anything meaningful about it. I'm all for calling a pedo out as a diddler and a nonce but I fear thats more liable to getting removed as spam than that active confession is.

>>270122 Better hope you're on a VPN and on the onion because your anonymous arse won't be anonymous for long

>>270377 That actually is a pretty big issue. A lot of countries are suddenly putting out a bunch of privacy infringing laws at almost the same time.

Legitimately who tf cares about the age of fictional characters as long as they look adult? Id rather jerk it to a character that is canonically 16 but looks like 20 than one of those 1000 year old lolis who look like kids but arent.

>>270483 > who tf cares about the age of fictional characters >>270116 This guy cared enough to out himself has a pedo

Please do not start with pedo shit on this thread, you may deserve to go to hell, but we just have to talk about fat bitches and that's it, isn't that much to ask?

>>270499 Tell me you're on the Epstein list without telling me you're on the Epstein list. Pedophile enabler

>>270488 Oh nooo...now the Americans will get torches and pitchforks, I'm soo scared

>>270268 Not true, Belt drew Morgan from Fire Emblem and nothing indicated she was aged up.

>>270507 You really gonna die on the hill of 'I like to diddle little girls'? You really want the world to know you get hard to prepubescents?

>>270658 It's the internet, you fucking moron. You should thank god that -chan boards are anonymous, because I would've sent a SWAT squad to your house

>>270660 You would send a SWAT squad at me because I pointed out someone admitted to being a pedo? Are you slow in the head or something?

>>270666 i deadass think he read the wrong comment LMAO

>>270660 Degenerate perverts on the internet trying to pretend they have some kind of moral high ground will never not be fascinating to me.

>>270692 No, I 100% read the right comment. Saying this in real life might be one thing, but I'm just one of many on the internet. So the police ain't gonna do jack shit

>>270742 No but we're all gonna point and laugh at you for wanting to stick your little wiener in little girls.

>>270869 peak. kino. masterpiece.

>>270869 Belt continues to be the best fucking artist around

>>270878 That piece is like 2 years old at least

Right when I was about to leave

>>269980 Happy now?

>>270881 And if you ask me its better than most stuff he's put out recently

>>270903 Nice! Now we can go back to the fat hot girls getting fatter?!

>>270903 >was supposed to be mari arc >hijacked by by gay amerisharts >ends up being an (even gayer) fredsissie arc Just when you thought this comic couldn’t fall any lower… Not to mention How does she end up getting bloodied up, then console FRED with the faggiest line on earth? Why even include a touching flashback if you’re going to weigh it down with this absolute garbage? What a bad joke. Poor Mari! Stuck in sinking ship…

>>270921 Yeah that flashback wasn't needed but who gives a shot. Show us Fred and Mari sex please

>>271003 Seriously what even was the point of the flashback? To show Mari had a mother? To show she is willing to fight to protect those she loves? Both of these things were already abundantly apparent from a) the fact she exists and b) when she suplexed Fred because he accidentally hit Nikolai. Waste of everyone's time, this comics done for, I swear...

>>271003 >>271015 I think the point was to show where Mari's got influenced by, its not by what we know. But Mari had a flashback where she remembered what her mom told her and what was important. Up until now, she had everyone else deal with her issues, and she always let others get hurt duebto her breeding to be protected. So its a character growth moment for Mari and her seemingly learning she had to learn to deal with her problems or protecting the ones she cares about. I know people here might be illiterate, but this feels very obvious to me.

>>271016 Breeding > Needing"

>>270903 Cute chapter, nice we got to see more of Mari's character and that when she does lose the Niko bowl she has a great other option.

>janny cleaned up the thread >didn’t scroll up far enough to get rid of all the fag apologetics outside of /bhm/ Sasuga

>>271354 I'd rather just delete the thread than read all this faggotry

>>271322 when you have amazing artistic talent and waste it on drawing fucking snake women.

>>271354 >>271371 >>271530 Oh my fucking GOOOOD. This place is worse than Twitter. NO ONE is happy and faggots complain about getting free content. It's not even actual criticism, just "I don't like this, so it's bad!" Fuck. You. I hope your cocks shrink and regress into a vagina, because you all act like women.

>>271530 Welp, a commission is a commission. It's hard not to say no to ez money. If you wanna cry so hard about it, commission the guy yourself, brokefag.

Here is the first page of Sigrid's Daily Life! In the beginning, there will be only 2 pages a month for this, but if we get more supporters, this will be upgraded from 2 pages to 4 pages a month! Who the hell is she?

>>271618 she is Nikolai's sister I guess

>>271618 It's one of Belt's first characters, he has a few pieces of her on his DA

>>271620 >>271622 I see. Didn't make much with her

Unless he did more than these.

>>271618 Why is he starting another comic before finishing Domino Effect?

>>271618 Honestly, fuck this comic. I sent in an application to help write for this only for him to decide last minute to only let high level patreons and his friends help write. I hope this doesn't take away from DE.

Bro can't even deliver a TDE comic part on time and he's starting a whole new comic, Belt is stupid or what?

>>271640 Exactly man! We went from the comic being released on Sunday, to maybe Monday to now in the middle of the week. What the hell, you can't just add MORE work, the consistency is already suffering. If he wants to go on hiatus he should just go on hiatus if he's bored with the comic. I can tell because the last few pages have been lacking something; nothing interesting was happening with the current subplot.

>>271629 Maybe because he finally realized that the weight gain fetish fanbase needs a weight gain story, not a few filler arcs about damn Fredrik and Mari based on light netorare? Oh yeah, it's not netorare, Nikolai pushed Fredrik and helped them get closer, and he's giving them a smile. Oh, how convenient! That's right, let him drop the domino or spend less time on it. No one's going to get fat there anyway, and I can read a good story somewhere else if I want to. Seriously, it's turning into something long and dull like a KipTeiTei comic, except that belt draws better. Even Kip gives more fetish pages for his wankers. It's a shame. And you, fools, can continue reading a comic full of fillers.

>>271692 Okay schizo, but you are very wrong to beginw with. The Sigrid comic is something he have wanted to do for a long time, so nothing to do with your conspiracy theories. Lol

>>271618 BELT if you read this, stop. We grew to love characters from Domino Effect and I wait each day for a new page. I want to see Nina fall into obesity, to see who Niko ends up with, who the hell was Dryad, and both Tanya and Emma get into Real landwhale territory… Screw streamer story SDC already makes a brillant one, dont Design from Domino it really is best of them all!

>>271709 Tf you mean, plot is garbage, needs more focus on fat bitches getting fatter

>>271716 Masterful ragebait

>>271716 Who is SDC?

>>271846 I assume Sweetdreamcoffee

>>272255 >"Badstu' >Literally just means sauna this is some 'keikaku means plan' level of term dropping. Could belt not put sauna like a fucking normal person?

>>272266 Gotta show off your own culture whenever the opportunity arises, I guess.

>>272255 Can someone make a brief collage of thr main girls wg progress from the start? It's hard to track how much bigger they've gotten in recent chapters.

>>272266 Probably the first Norwegian word i've seen, so at least we're learning something

>>272255 That Mari panel is so hot...

Can someone please share the full drawing if it exists. I really want to know who is the girl in the profile picture.

>>271716 Your ESL is showing.

>>272964 I think you have to re-read The Domino Effect...

>>271632 Lmao stay mad shit writer

>>271632 so he doesnt know were to take his own story?

>>272964 Any collage of her size at various points in the comic?

>>272255 she is going to bust her belt

>>273194 This is why you should lift bros

>>273194 Been awhile since this comic had me laughing this hard, that face is priceless.

At first, I thought he made that weird face because Tanya woke up his second personality or something, but then I realized that he was just having a hard time. Okay, this is fun.

I guess holding 200lbs of woman is kinda hard, especially with one hand and the other gripping the underside of a table

>>273194 >She didn't look that heavy Does that mean that she is actually hiding some weight....? .... ... .... ..... .. . . ... . . ...... . .. . ...i think i'm reading too much out of this

>>273247 Calling it now, girdle beneath the coat

Creamed his pants immediately

>>273194 Alright. That actually got a chuckle out of me. A moment of comic relief for all the petulant drama that had transpired these previous pages.

>>273344 Belt would be top 3 artist oat if he didn't draw slop characters

>>273345 All the slop characters are poll suggested and votes for, and people seem to keep voting for them... There is other characters in the polls i rather wan to see, but they get less votes. :c

>>273345 >"I wish this artist would draw things I like instead of things I don't like. I will call the things I don't like 'slop' to let the peasants know that I am a patron of the arts and have a refined taste, and am therefore above them."

>>273346 Sad... >>273353 Congrats putting words in my mouth, dipshit. Wanna force me add you to the will too?

>>273345 Which fucking characters do you want exactly? Share with the class, unless you're a coward without balls

>>273247 >>273250 No its because she shouldn't be fat enough to break a wooden chair, and he's right if you go back for some reason it was already cracked. That being said if there is girdle or corsett or whatever that'd be pretty hot

>>273643 I'm thinking we're back Great piece, great distribution on the character Only way he can top this is by drawing a shoot with her and Anne-Marie

>>273713 No, we are not back. This motherfucker has been focusing more and more on the comic lately, uploading very few drawings in between. What happened to him? He way different back then

>>273715 The patreon has always been for the comic since day 1, the multiple pictures was from the blob tier in which there is only 1 left now since he removed the slots, but there used to be 4 blob tiers.

Finally the closest we’ve been to seeing all the girls nude in the same room!

>>274164 Finally, some bit of fan service. You'd think we'd get more of those in a fetish comic.

>>274164 I love that Emma is fully aware of what she's doing and leans into it. I hope she has some one-on-one time with Nikolai in this scene. Tanya is too busy not gaining weight intentionally, she doesn't deserve it (yet).

She's bold as fuck right now

>>275160 mari getting her deserved spotlight, absolute unit of a queen you love to see it

>>275160 Belt's art muscle is getting FLEXED on this page, look at all that detailing...

>>275160 Jesus christ

>>275160 I'm gonna say it.

>>275305 say it

>>275303 The truth is that Mary looks like a sumo wrestler, with that body that's somewhere between muscular and fatty.

>>275391 Strong fat girls...❤️

>>275385 She's a slut.

>>275698 She should be going for Fred, Niko and Mari seems like a dead end to me. The potential for them to just get to it without the whole love triangle interfering in their "activities" would make this comic so much better. Speaking of, does Fred also have it for the fatties or not?

>>275858 I don't think Feed cares, he just loves Mari.

>>275858 i still want her to be with niko.

>>275912 >i still want her to be with niko. No? Lmao, why out of everh woman would she be the most likely to be with him?

>>275912 WHY?

New page is out!

>>274164 >this was a hidden Mari reverse harem/beta orbiter sister wife ending comic all along >fatceps with a bigger circumference than the guys heads >each gozonga is wider than the breadth of either main girls entire chest Holy kino. She’s becoming too powerful bros.

>>276001 Meant for >>275160 Also: >>274218 >the womanlette (rifghtfully) fears the sauna empowered/disinhibited giant >tanya at her widest is only on par Mari’s measurement wise It’s over worst girls, she literally has the higher ground built in, and she’s only getting stronger!

>>275993 Hope this doesn't go the way it looks like it will, as the Lene/Andre mutual gain stuff is honestly super hot

>>276007 On the contrary, I hope if Tine wins back Andre, Andre continues the cycle of abuse/feederism learned from Lene onto Tine

>>276020 Lene fattens Andre and Andre fattens Tiene Trully a domino effect.

>>276022 say that again?!

>>276007 Naw fuck off, that relationship is toxic as shit. It's about time Lene got knocked down a peg for being far more abusive than Tine ever was.

>>276109 Tine was an asshole but with andre she was just ungrateful , and jumped to conclusions. remember if she didnt assume andre was just gonna do a basic dinner for her birthday(or was it anniversary?) they would've probably still been together.

>>276007 I have to disagree. The relationship is one hell of a red flag and Lene manipulates Andre into a dependent relationship and further isolates him from his friends, causing him to lose touch with his hobbies and friends, making her his sole focus. She wants to live out her own fantasy and is willing to sacrifice his individuality and independence in the process.

>>276159 It is kinda tragic looking back on this whole thing in retrospect. Andre bounced off of one shitty relationship, just to end up in an infinitely worse one. Out of the frying pan and into the volcano. He sure knows how to pick em.

>>276007 I'll fully admit that I might not feel as strongly about this if the person gaining was a woman, but honestly, Lene's treatment of Andre is so realistically shitty that I just want Andre to get away from her as fast as possible.

>>276007 Honestly, the whole drama between Lene and Andre feels like it was narratively forced to make Lene an antagonist for some reason. The pair never had any issues together until Tine was reintroduced, and Lene being upset over her approaching Andre was entirely understandable given the history the three share. Belt's been conducting a character assassination on Lene for the past few months and its stupid as hell. Man cannot write natural human behaviour to save his life.

>>276309 I disagree, Lene's abusive behavior is very realistic. Ive seen first hand people who were fine at first, and then after turning either toxic or abusive in some variation. Such things can happen at a flick of a switch. I think people who are mad at Lene's toxicity is just too emotionally invested in her or wants things to be only in a certain way.

>>276310 Just because you've seen people do it doesn't mean it comes across as natural. Belt's caricature of those jerkass Americans or Nikolai having a jekyll/hyde personality switch might be behaviour you've seen people have irl, but it still comes across as forced and unintuitive to the story at hand. It doesn't matter if something is 'realistic', if it isn't coherent or meaningful to the story. Lene being characterised as a toxic partner came out of nowhere, has been entirely irrelevant to any of the main plot threads, and I doubt will ultimately be integral to the story. Hell, I bet Andre and Lene won't even break up, and this was just a means for belt to include banal relationship drama in his comic, because he already did it with Mari and Fred, and Nikolai has to remain single until the end of the comic.

>>276309 Bro, Andre made, like, three or four appearances before Tine's reintroduction, and he barely even cracked a smile in ANY of them. They were DEFINITELY having issues before that.

>>276309 You must have not been reading. Andre clearly hasn't been happy for most of this.

It's been clear for awhile that Andre is uncomfortable with his weight, and Lene doesn't care.

>>270069 I think fat artists should openly mock the far-leftist psychopaths.

>>276389 obsessed

>>276356 >lowest iq queer spammers >only ones who care about the lene and Andre arc It makes sense now

>>276381 >>276382 You must be the ones not reading if you're missing the half a dozen times before that were Andre was clearly quite happy in his relationship with Lene. It was only after Tine returned to school did Lene's behaviour suddenly sour for the sake of drama. >>276388 And? All the domino girls have been self-conscious about their weight at one point or another. Are you going to say they all need to stop gaining for Niko's affection because they've had cold feet about it? Andre being uncertain about being fat for one chapter is hardly a natural catalyst for Lene being turned into a manipulative abuser. >>276417 Perhaps you need a mirror because your post is more low iq spam than anything I've just said.

>>276454 >You must be the ones not reading if you're missing the half a dozen times before that were Andre was clearly quite happy in his relationship with Lene. It was only after Tine returned to school did Lene's behaviour suddenly sour for the sake of drama. Do you not know what a fucking Honeymoon period is? Andre was happy because he just got out of a bad relationship and found a girl that would indulge in his fetishes. It was only after she started showing her true colors he realized he fucked up. >All the domino girls have been self-conscious about their weight at one point or another There is a world of difference between the girls gaining for their own selfish reasons and Lene manipulating anyone she can get her hands on you giga retard. Niko isn't forcing them to gain weight, they're doing that on their own. Meanwhile Andre clearly doesn't want to gain weight, he's FORCED to because he's trapped in yet another shitty relationship. This comic is not subtle about this at all, it practically beats you over the head with the fact that what Lene is doing is not okay.

>>276466 >Honeymoon period That is not how it was written and you know it. Lene's only been expressly manipulative towards Andre in the latest arc, which is a tiny amount of time considering their full screen time. >they're doing that on their own Nikolai might not have been the one doing it, but all the main girls have been coerced. Mari was initially tricked into gaining weight because Elijah planted a photo of a bbw in Nikolai's locker. Tanya was influenced into gaining with her favourite snacks and drinks by a still unknown person. And Emma was told Nikolai was into fat chicks by 'Dryad', who is a suspect source of information. All of them were being led on one way or another. But my point isn't to say Lene isn't being manipulative, because at this point plainly she is. My point is that Andre being uncertain about gaining weight alone was not a clear indicator that their relationship was having any issues, because most characters who have gained weight in this comic go through that. There was no way anyone can definitively say 'Andre is unhappy with being fat' based on chapter 82. >This comic is not subtle about this It's not been gradual about it either. Up until the ski trip, Lene's behaviour is easily justifiable by the fact she was speaking with Tine, whom she understandably has a negative attitude towards because Tine is clearly trying to wriggle her way back into Andre's affection. Anyone would feel defensive over their partner when their ex is trying to pester them. Only during the ski trip has Lene's behaviour been unabashedly manipulative to Andre, which, newsflash, hasn't been that long. That's why the shift in their dynamic feels as abrupt as getting hit with a sledgehammer. Belt either didn't actually intend to make Lene and Andre's relationship so troubled, or he had no idea how to properly build up to it. Either way its piss poor writing.

Faggots are disgusting.

When are these pathetic jobbers going to come out of sulking in the background and do something?

>>276487 Yeah, it's All just Some Bullshit.

>>276475 >My point is that Andre being uncertain about gaining weight alone was not a clear indicator that their relationship was having any issues, because most characters who have gained weight in this comic go through that. What you said contradicts this. >Mari was initially tricked into gaining weight because Elijah planted a photo of a bbw in Nikolai's locker. Keyword, Initially, and she STILL decided for herself that she wanted to gain weight for Nikolai and kept going. >Tanya was influenced into gaining with her favourite snacks and drinks by a still unknown person. And she decided to keep eating. No one told her to keep going. >And Emma was told Nikolai was into fat chicks by 'Dryad', who is a suspect source of information. Like Mari, she STILL made the active choice to get fatter for Nikolai. That was HER choice. No one pushed her but herself. > All of them were being led on one way or another. They were given a choice and doubled down on it. Andre didn't have that. Lene had been pushing him to gain weight from the start and kept doing jt onwards. That's more active influence than any of the girls had. >There was no way anyone can definitively say 'Andre is unhappy with being fat' based on chapter 82. Andre was meant to at least be wary about it. Which got us to where we are now. Let's not act like there weren't signs and that Andre isn't in a different position than the girls. >>276500 Heh.

>>276487 Isn't the guy on the right 'Dryad'? I'm fairly certain Nikolai probably influenced a girl who was REALLY into him into gaining and was shamed for it, thus keeping his fetish a secret. These two jackasses are her relatives who don't get that SHE chose to gain for Nikolai and more than likely blame Nikolai for her obesity.

>>276537 No, that's Kai. He's working with the other girl to revealed the truth about Nikolai and try to defame him.

>>276454 Touché, especially since Tbh I didn’t mean to tag you, was supposed to be a hanging comment since the conversation is so abysmal and the characters so minor and parallel. Your post on the subject is probably the best itt

>>276763 Oh, well thanks - I'm glad what I wrote made sense to somebody at least lol Honestly wasn't going to bother responding but I might as well while also asking: Is the latest part out yet? Did belt say he was skipping this week?

>>277096 And then say Northern European food is bland. Spicy~

>>277096 finally something interesting happening

>>277096 Gotta say, I love how well Belt has been consistent with showing this redhead's strong-fat build. I'm not a fan of such builds myself but I appreciate when it's done well.

>>277096 These have to be some of the best chapters in the series Even in just The way the sauna panels have been a gold mine of character(ful) portraits and reaction images for the girls. Especially Mari. Even/especially the chunky face >”o-orthodox!?” Which I assume is somewhat lost in translation. Mari confirmed champion of (the people) nikolai btw. Even as her and the gremlin plot against his sanctity. >Tanya really selling her mature yet edgy aura only for it get “o-ok” K.O.d in the face of niko, inadvertently doubling her power >Emma getting to fully embrace niko again, giving him a full stomach to back message of which shakes her back into consciousness and the implications of their position >mari, out of her sports bra and victoriously sporting a mile of cleavage, and an acre of side boob spillage pouring onto either of her arm rests’ chests. >The plot weaving in and out of the cat fight hijinks, the foreshadowing of the next chapters revelations. The continued mari v emma, troll v gremlin conflict escalation, and Tanya assumedly to again steal the hearts and minds of the niko bowl due to humorously fat arsed happenstance. Absolutely kino. Beyond a thousand run on words.

>>277141 Really nailing it. The next beach episode has to feature a Birds Eye view of a seated maris (micro) bikini toted boobalanch. Especially if we get a glasses down, looking-up moment of acknowledgement from the red headed hungry eyed monolith, perched on a rocky outcropping like a lighthouses beacon in a dark stormy night. If only to chart her tectonic activity as they crash together and form new valleys of her chest-scape, and wide tracts of sprawling side booba, flowing from her hopefully well Sun blocked tides of frontage, softly shoring up into her clavicles, overflowing over her shoulders and back into her blubberous sea wall of back fat and pooling around her amorous well veiled arm pits: buried deep beneath slabs of side boob and a ever shifting wobbling mountain of bingo(or basketball?) wings; before flowing back into the endless sprawling expanse of booba all over again! Above all of which; her shining face! Like the moon peering through red lit skies starry morning(or noon) light! A force of nature in a supremely sweet package! The best of girls! With the best of racks!!!

>>277631 Looks similar to this woman

>>277631 God I hope Emma and Tanya and the rest get this big.

>>277632 That's Mila. The women in the new part is Lise, who was mentioned one whole time as missing in chapter 89 (I think?) This chapters really good but belt needs to learn how to foreshadow and allude to stuff properly because this felt completely disjointed and out of left field.

>>277631 I'm guessing one of the chicks are going to end up in this very same position.

>>277634 Indeed

>>277634 His writing has been mostly fine but a lot of plot points have been left behind, looks like he's trying to back load everything, i'm not sure introducing more character this late/early? really helps when plot points from some of our established main cast haven't finished yet.

>>277634 >>277641 Belt learning from Oda by making a foreshadowing in a single random panel

>>277631 So pretty obvious these are the same donuts that were at the photo shoot with the other models. So probably Anne Marie is in or related to this cult and chances are someone like Tanya if she returns to do more modeling will start munching down on them.

>>277631 i know it maybe a stretch, but i feel like Belt is fitting some ideas from his abandoned comic. Although he said some time ago we were around 40% of the comic in, so i wonder if he will be able to give everything a proper developement.

I won't lie but I'd rather have the comics focus on the main characters and their personal dramas/relationships than whatever the fuck this is. Every time the comic tries to develop the actual story I just cringe

>>277687 Holy, I completely forgot about this. What a call back

>>277689 Sounds like a you problem. >>277687 70% he wrote when the Nina Arc started

Ngl, might kill me via laughter if the comic finishes next chapter or similarly out of nowhere with some school days bad end

>>277641 >TN: Skole is Norwegian for School Thank you belt I learnt something new today.

>>277687 The german lady here did appear in the new years party... perhaps we're getting the feast before our eyes we never got before lol

Does someone has 454 picture that he just uploaded?

>>278135 "deliriously fat woman demanding nothing but more food" my beloved (still can't believe swellreads is the only audio fattywank guy to ever do something akin to this too, that frieren scene was begging to be turned into fetish art)

>>277687 >tanya >feeder: nico the ancient texts prove us to be in the right tanyabros

>>277687 Catherine in this has the same hair cloth as the teacher in TDE as well, was she also called Catherine or doesn't she have a name?

>>278641 I don't think the teacher's ever been named in the comic itself, but I think one time belt streamed on twitch or youtube he showed early concept art for the characters and the teacher was named Katherine or Katrine. Notably, in FBME, Catherine's feeder is called Felix, which is the same name as Niko's dad. That last part is probably just a coincidence tho

Part out a bit earlier, due to me taking a proper vacation this upcoming Monday to next Monday. (Last Vacation was around May or something) So next comic part is out the 20th October. (eesh, feels a lot longer than I thought, but that's in the nature of each part taking a week of work)

>>278807 The toxic mutual gain is over bros

>>278815 >it's over bros Weird way of saying hallelujah.

>>278807 i do resent the dark shift their relationship took. the darker ralationship cold have evolved into something more interesting, hopefully this sint their end.

>>278815 Yippee, now we can have either a more wholesome mutual gain from lessons learned, an even darker mutual gain from trauma gained, or mutual weight loss from Joker commission

>>278807 What does he mean by ”out earlier”? The last update came on Sept 24 (Wednesday) which *should* have been out on Monday Sept 22 if I understand his update schedule right. If anything, this page was later than usual…

>>278807 Hell yeah reverse angst, seriously this isn't something you see often in this genre, usually its just fat chick gets the guy from the skinny bitch and its happily ever after, but this here is spicy. Can't wait to see how Lene crashes out.

>>278807 God the writing here is so ass. I don't resent the direction belt wants to take this with Andre and Lene, making them have an unhappy relationship that falls apart, but I do hate that its handled so sloppily. Lene not caring about Andre's interests or even remembering his eye color is moronic. The two were attached at the hip whenever we've seen them, how could Lene not know /any/ of these things? This is contrived as hell to paint Lene is the worst possible light in a rush, rather than actually dedicating screentime to showing us Lene's ignorance earlier. And Andre griping that he shouldn't be punished for what Lene has 'done to herself' feels hypocritical when Andre was actively enabling Lene, at least in the early days of their relationship. While Lene would've probably gotten this fat regardless, Andre pushing the blame entirely on Lene seems uncharacteristically shallow of him. I'm convinced belt is making this stuff up on the fly at this point rather than actually putting any real forethought into how anything fits together for the story.

>>278941 >Lene not caring about Andre's interests or even remembering his eye color is moronic. The two were attached at the hip whenever we've seen them, how could Lene not know /any/ of these things? This is contrived as hell to paint Lene is the worst possible light in a rush, rather than actually dedicating screentime to showing us Lene's ignorance earlier. Counterpoint, when has Belt ever shown us Lene caring for Andre outside of feederism? It's not impossible for Lene to be so caught up in what she wanted out of the relationship that she didn't really ever pay attention. >And Andre griping that he shouldn't be punished for what Lene has 'done to herself' feels hypocritical when Andre was actively enabling Lene, at least in the early days of their relationship. While Lene would've probably gotten this fat regardless, Andre pushing the blame entirely on Lene seems uncharacteristically shallow of him. Lene actively tries to get fatter. That's why Adre said it.

>>278807 >back to hamfisted drama at least it’s about shut no one cares about and won’t interfere much more. R-right!?!

>>278807 Her fat ass is gonna try snowboarding and turn into a snowball. Andre's gotta just take charge.

>>278807 This is a very interesting turn of events. At the start of the comic, I suspected that Tine did not really care about Andre because of how she acted. I predicted that Tine would be indifferent to Andre leaving her, especially so with Andre dating someone like Lene, who Tine thought very lowly of. I was very surprised to see Tine instead actually cry over Andre. I didn't necessarily think Lene's and Andre's mutual weight gain was so bad in concept. Lene made it clear that she was very interested in weight gain and would presumably also want whoever she was dating to gain weight too. While Andre is depicted being uncomfortable by his own weight gain, at no point was there anything to indicate that Lene was forcing him. Andre was presumably choosing to let himself gain weight as a gesture of love to Lene. I saw nothing wrong with this on its own. It wasn't until the scene where Lene verbally manipulates Andre to stay inside the lodge, that Lene was revealed to be (at least somewhat) emotionally abusive with Andre. Such actions indicate that Lene was arguably worse with Andre than even Tine was. Elijas likely knew more about Lene and saw this happening before it was entirely revealed to the audience. I suspect that Elijas knew that Lene had crossed some moral boundary and decided to do something about it. Hence, Elijas not only helped Tine gain weight too, but gave her continued emotional support in her endeavor to win Andre back. Elijas was likely doing this in an attempt to correct his mistake in helping start Andre's and Lene's now unhappy relationship. As mentioned multiple times already, this is a really interesting development of the common trope where a mean ex-girlfriend loses their boyfriend to another nicer girl. In the context of these kind of weight gain comics, the mean skinny girl loses her guy to a fat girl she bullies. In this case, we now see that maybe the new fat girlfriend was not any better than the mean ex. As someone else also mentioned in this thread, a character who was bullied still might not be a moral character themselves. In fact, a character who was often tormented by others for their fun can be very likely to engage in such behavior themselves. Overall, I say Belt Buster's writing of this subplot so far, amongst other parts, is still solid. I'm eager to see what happens next. >>278815 I wouldn't consider Andre's relationship with Lene to be over just yet. Lene could self reflect on her actions and renew her efforts to be a better partner for Andre. Perhaps Andre would still be willing to stay with Lene if she becomes less controlling of him and more empathetic to how he feels. Maybe Lene could even put aside her own insecurities to try to get to know Andre better. Or Lene could just reveal a darker side of herself, go fully aggressive against Andre and Tine, and then obliterate any chance she has of keeping of Andre. >>278941 I get what you mean by Andre being unfair about his remark about Lene's weight gain. Although Lene was still mostly self motivated to gain weight to such an unhealthy extreme, Andre was still shown to enable her behavior. In Andre's defense, Lene both crossed some moral line with how controlling she was of him, and Tine had just proved how shallow her relationship with Andre really was. While still unfair, Andre was arguably justified. Also, this is a romance drama about young adults. Some stupid stuff is to be expected from the characters. >>278984 That would be funny. It would be even funnier if Lene accidently impacted and badly injured one of the American tourists from earlier.

>>278815 Thank fucking GOD. >>278941 >The two were attached at the hip whenever we've seen them, how could Lene not know /any/ of these things? Because she was too busy indulging in her revenge fantasy than actually getting to know him. You see this in the comic how she never actually asks him about anything. She found out he liked fat chicks though a third party ffs. And this IS a revenge fantasy for her. Even early on it was hinted that this was done to get back at Tine, not because she actually cared about Andre. He's just a means to an end here, and once she achieved her revenge she started getting much more hostile, because he's just an inconvenient hostage. You are right in that Andre's line was a bit out of line, though. But seeing how fucking shit Lene's been in their relationship and turning his own damn fetish into a nightmare, I can't blame him for snapping. >>278992 >While Andre is depicted being uncomfortable by his own weight gain, at no point was there anything to indicate that Lene was forcing him. You're joking, right? Did you miss the entire moment where Lene tries to coerce him and Emma into eating here >>276388? The comic is practically beating you over the head with the implication that this relationship has been abusive on Lene's end.

>>278965 While it's not impossible, it's a uncomfortable stretch of logic. It leans so much on the fact we see relatively little of Andre and Lene compared to the main characters. If we'd been shown Lene more readily ignoring Andre's preferences (in other words, sooner than the ski trip), then perhaps this wouldn't seem so forced. >Lene actively tries to get fatter And Andre was actively helping her achieve this. He's shown to be enamoured with her appetite and drive to grow as late into the comic as after Christmas. Andre is complicit, and his ignoring of that fact feels like belt just conveniently forgetting it to pursue a specific story direction, contrary information be damned.

>>278992 >Lene crossed some moral line Oh definitely so. But Andre himself is out of line which has never happened before, so it seems really out of character for him. I've already made my stance of Lene somehow not knowing anything about Andre's preferences clear so I won't rehash what is me just rejecting the flawed premise belt's put forward. >romance drama about young adults There's stupid stuff that's by design, and there's stupid stuff by oversight. It seems like this is more the latter than the former. There's many other things Andre could've said rebuke Lene and be unambiguously justified, but what he chose to say is so fundamentally flawed that I can only assume belt forgot what he's written before.

>>279003 >she found out he liked fat chicks through a third party No she didn't? Lene found this out because she and Andre had an intimate moment in the infirmary. A third person initiated it yes, but it's way more first party than how Mari or Emma discovered Nikolai was apparently into fat girls. >revenge fantasy >early on it was hinted From Tine, who was firmly established as a complete utter bitch? Great hint from a totally credible source. >she never ask him about anything We barely see the two of them for most of the comic. Lene did nothing to invite the implication she didn't care about Andre until after the New Year, which wasn't that long ago in the grand scheme of the comics timeline. Lene had plenty of time to get to know Andre, and us, the audience being told the contrary /precisely/ when its relevant feels so contrived of the plot to just vilify Lene rather than actually setting it up properly. Belt doing the equivalent of 'Bro just trust me Lene didnt care about Andre all along' will not convince me nearly as much as actually being shown said things happening across the story. Lene being dominant in her relationship with Andre, in the few instances we see of them prior to the ski trip, is not a remotely clear indicator that Lene has zero interest in Andre as a person. >where Lene tries to coerce him and Emma into eating She was only coercing Emma. She tells Andre he'll have to 'make up for it in her stead' later, but the tone (see the pink sparkles) and body language does not frame it as abusive or manipulative, rather as flirtatious, if perhaps a bit pent up. This was definitely the start of the set up that Lene and Andre's relationship wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, but its very mixed messaging about it.

>>279007 >Belt doing the equivalent of 'Bro just trust me Lene didnt care about Andre all along' will not convince me nearly as much as actually being shown said things happening across the story. Lene being dominant in her relationship with Andre, in the few instances we see of them prior to the ski trip, is not a remotely clear indicator that Lene has zero interest in Andre as a person. This is him TELLING you this. However you feel about it, Belt is making this clear now since we haven't spent much time with them. I am yet to see proof that Lene cares about Andre outside of this fetish, and considering that's most of their screentime as a couple and Lene tries to goad Emma into getting fatter, yeah. I have to assume she just sucks here. Andre was being a dick, but this all adds up from Lene not really caring about him. Nothing mixed about it lmao. I will agree. It didn't get to shit until the trip for no reason at all. It should have showed better, but this entire arc has given Andre a reason to act out.

>>279028 >This is him TELLING you this Yeah and it's way too late to do so! If he wanted to pursue this plot avenue, he should've built up the relevant hooks sooner, rather than having to backload it all now, right at the last second! It makes this all read as contrived for a whim rather than a natural development! Prior to the ski trip, any instance of Lene being 'abusive' was at best implied, or at worst it's not even there, and we're just told to assume (as you yourself just said) that she was being horrible offscreen. I don't dispute that, following this clunky narrative, its only natural for Andre to push Lene away, but the execution to this is so bad that I'm convinced belt didn't even plan it until very recently. And having an event like this happen on the fly doesn't inspire me to the story's quality.

>>279030 Part 63: Lene being pushy with Emma and ignoring her desire to stop eating. https://www.deviantart.com/belt-buster/art/The-Domino-Effect-Part-63-976792375 Part 84: Lene threatening Emma to make her keep eating, then having a dark, intimidating expression the second Andre told her to leave Emma alone. Also, Part 84: Andre looking uncomfortable with his weight, showing Nico express concern for him followed by Lene telling him that whatever stuffing she was going forcing on Emma going to go to Andre instead. And, Lene having blackmailed Emma into eating well past her limits carries strong implications for how much she'll make Andre eat. This isn't new: almost every page that's featured Lene for the last 40+ pages has shown her being pushy at her best and cruel at her worst, her boyfriend and towards Emma, someone who hadn't done anything to her.

>>279052 Exactly as soon as Andre started getting fat you could see he was uncomfortable, and she was pushing the fetish on to him. We really haven't seen them do anything but indulge in Lene's fetish. People are just mad because they're so used to the trope of " fat girl wins guy from mean bitch and happily ever after", but there wasn't really much ever tying them together. The most interesting aspect of all this is that it will reveal pieces about whose the one who was going around getting girls started on weight gain, since originally Lene and Andre were kind of forced onto each other.

>>279007 >Lene found this out because she and Andre had an intimate moment in the infirmary. It's implied she knew as early as Chapter 2. Elijas takes in an interest in her, then suddenly the next day she immediately starts pigging out. She goes to the party specifically so she can show off to Andre and get his attention. Whatever "plan" was going on in the background, she was 100 percent in on it. >From Tine, who was firmly established as a complete utter bitch? Great hint from a totally credible source. She's a bitch, but that doesn't mean she was actually lying there. The fact that Elijas interrupted it shows there was more going on there than what was originally assumed. >but the tone (see the pink sparkles) and body language does not frame it as abusive or manipulative, rather as flirtatious, if perhaps a bit pent up You are insane. You are genuinely fucking insane if you looked at that moment and thought she was just being "flirtatious". Like, that's so wildly off-base that it taints your entire argument.

>>279003 >>279052 >>279074 I did not realize how much the artstyle changed. Time sure flies huh.

i really dont want to read 100 something chapters, someone please give me the sparknotes version of everything thats happened thus far.

>>279229 Just read it coward.

>>279229 Read it while jacking off, makes you pay more attention.

New Sigrid comic page is out

>>280502 Havent opened this thread in months. Has anyone actually gained weight or is it still the bullshit highschool drama?

>>280512 It’s not the same comic

>>280512 yes

>>281525 She doesn’t need to be fixed she’s hot

>>277631 >>281525 Bro please have her take up an offer from the cult. PLEASE BRO.

>>281525 So she was a bad girl all along? Dang It, Lene. i was hoping you were manipulated.

>>281525 >>281529 >>281554 It's such ass writing.

>>281554 Eh, no or it's not that simple and you're only looking at the part of her enjoy Tine being ousted. The orginization taking girls from that school seem to have manipulated her and the ones she's going to with the "offer" at the end, i'm starting to think Elai may or may not be involved with those guys too, like he might be the "scout" for them.

>>281562 Hardly. I kinda like the unexpected turn of her. And a good turn around of the usual trope of the shy quiet girl.

I really ain't getting Elias's game here. It's pretty much confirmed he was the one who pushed Andre and Lene together, and the whole "dull eyes" thing combined with Lene's brief periods were she seemed almost possessed seems to hint there is something supernatural going on, yet Elias is the one who pushes Tine to help Andre and bring the light back to his eyes despite being the one to expose Tine in the first place at the party, which seemed to be tied to the revenge plot against Niko since the girl was shown watching Tine leave dejected since Tine was one of her sister's bullies. So, was Elias doing all of this in a roundabout method to get Lene fattened up and agree to his "deal", and his embarrassing Tine was just a means to an end that inadvertently helped the revenge plot? Is this the who thing of Elias having multiple personalities like Niko did after Tanya landed on him and those personalities have different agendas? And for that matter, what was the deal Elijas was aiming for since it seems to be different from the cult that Lise was taken in by and that Lene now seems to be heading towards.

>>281562 brother it's a fat fetish comic not a song of ice and fire (plus it's a good twist on the quiet girl trope ngl)

>>281525 I FUCKING KNEW IT. It is EXACTLY like I've said >>279003, this whole thing was just a revenge fantasy for Lene. Andre was never anything more than a pawn in what Lene thought was an escalating arms race between her Tine. I even called her knowing Andre's fetish from the start >>279074 . I've never been more vindicated in my life, that other anon is eating so much goddamn crow right now. Bad writing my ass, this shit was beating you over the head with what it was doing from the start.

>>281525 From the previous chapter, I was sure that Lene would either increase her efforts to stay close with Andre, or (more likely) she would have an aggressive outburst, cause an argument, and then finally break up with Andre herself, knowing that she was now exposed to her peers for being emotionally abusive. I did not expect Lene to be so utterly apathetic of Andre. It seems that Lene only ever wanted revenge, and Andre by himself meant nothing to her. I was genuinely subverted, at least a little bit.

>>281597 I think Elijas's (and Marianne's) goals are to have their "plus-sized" modeling agency be successful as he can through any practical means. Elijas has been shown to get involved with his peer's social drama, obtain social leverage over some individuals, and then subtly use that leverage to encourage them to gain weight. Such tactics already worked with Lene, Tanya, Emma, Mari, and possibly many more. With more people in the area gaining weight, and rapid weight gain becoming normalized, Elija's modeling agency has more models and (more importantly) more potential business. I'm guessing the reasons for doing all that is to build a stronger customer base for the clothing corporations (and possibly food corporations) who would commission Elija's modeling agency. This also likely has something to do with the earlier implications of the immoral practice of feeding models donuts laced with hunger-stimulating drugs to make them gain weight faster. In summary, the plan is to make many people get fat using complicated social engineering, recruit fat models and get them fatter, and have the modeling agency somehow profit from all this. Elijas is likely playing his role with Lene for such reasons, being one of the masterminds of all this. Although, I'm not sure with this all has to do with the other group. That is, the group consisting of that character at the start of the comic who was depicted as a blue, slim, humanoid outline who was implied to be female and who went by the alias of 'Dryad', the black haired girl named Maja who goes around recording people in public and who is presumably the same person as 'Dryad', Maja's obese shut-in sister (who was only depicted once so far near the start of the comic) who might also be Nikolai's ex-girlfriend named Sara from all the way back in middle school who got harshly bullied and then went mysteriously missing, and Nikolai's very strange former friend named Kia. So far, this group's only known goal is merely to publicly expose certain bullies for the people they are. Nikolai is apparently one of the targets that Maja strongly insists on exposing for some alleged misdeeds, which *MIGHT* have to do with Nikolai's breakup with Sara, and his (admittedly cringey) animalistic alter-ego. Maja and Kia have recruited Tanya's friend Nina to help them, and Maja has been in close contact with Lene for some time. From what is shown, Elijas only cooperated with this group in the past in cases involving their mutual interests. Elijas otherwise is not affiliated with those people, and whatever they hell they are really up to. That should cover what is revealed about the mystery aspects so far. These interwoven mystery plotlines that are slowly revealing themselves were rather interesting (for me) to follow. I say that's all a merit to this comic's writing. Still, it's also been a total headache to keep track of this mess, and I understand if others are confused or annoyed by all this.

>>281525 Nikolai needs to IMAGINE BREAKER this bitch. It wouldn't be the first time he's slapped a hoe.

>>281562 Glad to see someone here who is using their brain. Avoid exercising free thinking or you'll get banned. We've apparently reached the point at which people are saying "writing twist/subversion = always good", which is a solid sign to bail. Enjoy the pretty art of fat women everyone, you're clearly not here for anything else.

>>281562 Oh fuck off already. We get it, you're asshurt because you wanted the mutual gain to stay. At least be fucking honest about it instead of saying "bad writing" like a buzzword. >>281628 It's only a subversion in relation to general tropes; in terms of the actual story this was so clearly telegraphed you could see where it was going from space. This thread already provided a mountain of evidence that all of this was planned from the start, there was no actual subversion to be had here.

>>281628 Even if this was the case, who gives a fuck? By virtue, this plot is already better than Kip's attempt to make One Piece and whatever the fuck My is doing. It's also a fetish comic. The main draw is fat girls, I'm not exactly here for a master class in writing.

>>281525 Speaking beyond of the fat-art, what Lene does next worries me. Honestly, the fact that this "cult" that worships plus-size women has contacted her is a pretty terrifying and tempting idea, Imagine how big she's going to get, but thinking about it a little longer-term, Lene could fall into a self-destructive spiral that she'll regret at the end of her story.

>>281692 That could be a good lesson, realizing how much damn you've done to your body after taking it too far.

>>281750 Forget the messed up word it was suppose to say damage

>>282092 She has got to be like this in the future! XD

>>281628 soon as someone starts ranting about a free thinker, it's a cue to me that their argument can't stand on its own. defining yourself in opposition of something usually means you don't have a convincing argument yourself, since why not just use that? >>281665 i gave up on trying to make sense of Kip's shit man, i just look at the art. at least the girls in belt's comic have actual personalities and reasoning behind what they're doing, I can buy this being a long play by Elias blowing up in his face because Lene is just that much of a bitch.

>>282092 Best girl easily If Niko doesn't end up with Anne Marie it will be an absolute tragedy

Yes, she's very good, but personally, I want Nico to finish with Tanya. God forbid the author finds a partner for Tanya like Marie and Frédéric.

>>281525 interesting. i just hope tine and andre keep gaining

>>282092 Best girl gets another masterpiece made Praise be to Belt

I personally want him to end up with Emma, but I dont get why Anne-Marie is considered the best girl. She has no character outside of thirsting for Niko. What's even the point of a story then? Character aside, Mari also just has a better body. I want more art of her.

>>282092 Why bro got the same name as the guy from GTA

What’s the title?

>>282311 She’s considered the “best girl” because she’s the fattest one of the harem in a WG comic, that’s it. I’d say it’s also good that she isn’t portrayed like a dumb bimbo, shy insecure girl, or social outcast—and she’s more like a flirty, horny, but composed and confident gal, with a nice public reputation. Idk why, but a fairly normal or confident obese woman in feederism or WG comics is a rare trope. Usually, if they’re “confident” about their size, it’s mostly because they’re too horny about it, too stupid to care, or too helpless to fight it.

>>282323 best GTA game mentioned

>>282323 Because it's a reasonably common name?

>>282323 I can hear the chirps through this post.

>>282311 Look, saying anything positive about Mari, immidiatly disqualifies anything you say. Mari is the most annoying char and the comic would be better without her

>>282758 Why am I seeing Fiorito fattened up so much more than the other Accordants? Did someone commission that picture?

>>282311 you can try to give Anne-Marie some more depth if you were in the creators shoes. at least if i consider it. It's just personal preference.

>>282797 Fiorito won unpopular character poll in September, So poll picture.

>>282794 Why? What bad things did she do? I feel like she is one of the most inoffensive characters in the comic.

>>282860 You're arguing with someone about this on an image board. You've already lost.

>>282870 Don't care mate I jack off to it anyway, I am just interested in the takes of the other is all. In my reading of it I always perceived Anne-Marie to be an insufferable horndog who is affiliated with that insufferable Elias (why is he here again? what does this faggot even do?) while Mari was portrayed the loveable but slightly shut-in muscle-girl who had a supercrush on Niko

>>282902 >with that insufferable Elias (why is he here again? what does this faggot even do?) I was about to argue with you, but yeah. Outside of pushing the girls to gain weight and making Nico more confident, what is this guy's larger role in the story? I was fine when it was just a story about Eli and him causing a Domino Effect (bada-bing) by pushing Nico as a person, but now there's this larger grand conspiracy that's apparently serious enough to have missing persons attached to it and Eli just kinda fucks around. As cool as the secret society sounds (and by extension the idea of a society that cultivates gluttons and breaks them) it feels like we're getting close to the jump the shark moment will make this story a lot less enjoyable to read and conflicts with the mostly grounded story it's presented so far.

>>282902 Glad I'm not the only Elijas hater. >>283017 This is getting a bit too convoluted and boring for my tastes. I've been giving the comic a chance, but ever since that big gala where Nikolai fought Elijas, I've been steadily losing interest. It feels like Belt is trying to drag this out and shove in a bunch of extraneous garbage. Just a simple comic about girls getting tricked into gaining weight to impress a guy they all like is fine. You don't need secret cults puppetmastering everything.

>>283017 99% sure that's the german lady from belts old comic A feast before my eyes, Franzceka or something. She made a brief appearance during the new years party as well. If she's meant to be some big twist reveal villain to this story, then I think literally no one really cares.

>>283017 Lol this secret plotline is so fucking gay. >>282902 >>282914 >>283025 Elias hate is justifies 10/10 times. What a useless twat of a character. His behind the scenes shit is the worst part of this comic. But I will not tolerate Anne-Marie slander, she is best girl and the only girls tolerable besides her are Emma and Tanja. I bet the russian girl would also be a great character, when she would finally get more deserved panel space.

>>283017 Another post wasted on picrel-esque stuff. Either move the fuck on with this "cultist" plotline or cut both Elias and the whole "background scheming" out and make this a slice-of-life love triangle. It is not that hard, man. I get that there's some great artistic vision here but realistically the non-secret plot as it is serves us pretty well already. We don't need an evil cult or whatever the fuck pin-boy Elias is cooking up. It wastes time in an otherwise good story.

>>283039 Seriously, what does Anne-Marie do besides making sexual overtures towards Niko? Have we ever, and I mean just once, taken her perspective in this comic? She is such an annoying non-factor in the love triangle that I am constantly baffled by the amount of art and fan love she gets. What does she do to deserve this besides being fat and horny (in a way which I personally do not really find attractive, might I add).

I think the fattening cult sub plot is hot as shit. I want more of it. If it means the girls get bigger. Faster. Im all for it

>>283017 >welp, we can expect everyone to soon fall into the cult's trap. If i had to guess, this is Belts solution to make the girls gain faster and close the story. cuss with the current pace blobs seem imposible.

>>283051 She is also a feeder. Quite manipulative one at that. She collects chubby people makes them models and feeds them donuts, which seems to be similar to the ones the German chicks cult uses. But on a unrelated tangent, i think we got three "factions". A group wanting to expose Niko. Elijah trying to make Fatness more popular (he does seem to have a personal interest in in it.) And the "Cult" who only seem interested in exploiting the feedees. All of them them unironically want to make people fat which is based.

>>283039 >>283050 >>283035 >>283025 I feel like you guys forgot that this has been in the comic since like part 5 of the comic, that was when the first hint when this was dropped, so its not like its out of the blue or anything. All the hints have been dropped over time.

>>283050 Where is this manga screenshot from?

>>283086 This IS out of the blue though. 'All the hints' is insane glaze for vague ass text messages from a completely unknown caller and a single mention of a girl going missing. For a comic, this barely constitutes to a breadcrumb trail that's being eaten by pigeons. Franzika has appeared precisely once before this (about 50 parts ago?) and before that any involvement shes had in the plot is nebulous at best (if we assume shes the one sending women text messages), and non-existent at worst. If belt really wanted to drop us hints properly, he should've included whispers and rumours of this shit happening in the first half of the comic, or shown a weirdo or two with animals masks, or had Franzika actually be a character, talking with Elijas, Anne-Marie, Mila or maybe even Emma's family. Something to make her relevant rather than 'oh you remember this old ass character I made? Well shes here again now!' Belt's a hack writer and more people need to accept that.

>>281613 >>283017 >>283069 I looks like Elijas's and Marianne's modeling agency is actually completely separate from the freaky weight gain cult. Elijas is apparently aware of the cult's existence, but he doesn't look like he wants any part of it. So yeah, now there are three different "factions". >>283025 >>283039 >>283109 I have been praising Belt Buster's writing for most of the comic so far. However, I have to agree that the inclusion of the cult seems like a bad decision. Yes, the existence of the cult was foreshadowed through a few cryptic details throughout the comic. The foreshadowing may not have been done so well, but that's not main the problem with it. The main problem is that it just seems like a completely unnecessary addition. The plus-sized modeling agency and the bully-exposer group already have a whole bunch of mystery plotline fuckery going on that involves Nikolia along with the rest of the main characters in this high school romance drama. How does this cult add to the story in any unique and meaningful way? Honestly, I hope this cult plotline is intended to be left mostly ignored, and the focus is shifted back to the other story elements that were already working just fine.

>>283051 Well that's part of her charm, but if you dislike that, then she probably isn't for you. I love a character who is openly hot towards one. It's just a refreshing design, compared to Tsundere #99 and co. She is the Akeno of this comic and on god Akeno is one of the best characters in Anime history.>>283051

>>283192 I’d argue the poor quality of the foreshadowing is tied to why it seems like such an unnecessary addition. Without enough explicit showings of his cult beforehand, the appearance and importance of it seems abrupt and out of place. Belts in between a rock and hard place with this now, because this cult is clearly important since he bothered to show that missing person report about Lise before. Either he doesn’t do much with the cult and they’re just a waste of time and space in the story, or they are important, and end up taking up time and space from other, already well established story elements. He’s been writing himself into a corner and it’s an ugly sight.

I mentioned this shit threads ago and I got scoffed at. He's going to fuck himself with this secret society bullshit, sadly, Belt is surrounded by yesmen. Someone really should have brought up the fact this wasn't properly set up and has only really come into existence in the last few chapters

>>283350 I'll give you some insider info because I was part of belts higher patreon tiers until recently - he never told anyone about this shit until it was revealed in that Lise chapter. No one could tell him it wasn't properly set up because no one knew it even was a thing until it was too late.

New page out!

>>284171 I hope Elijas pursues the cult van, then gets quietly killed offscreen, and neither he nor the cult is ever mentioned again. Also, I'm hoping we get some timeskips soon, for 116 chapters, it feels like the girls haven't really grown visibly in quite a long time.

>>284186 You want weight gain in your weight gain comic? You're just asking for FAR too much there, buddy. >>284171 Real talk - Elijas feels more like the main character than Nikolai at this point. Nikolai is so unaware of anything thats happening in the plot - I don't even think Nikolai's had story focus for the past 20 or so chapters. Whoever made that Elijas 'what does he even do' image would be better off making one of Nikolai.

>>284187 neither of them are anything great, but at least Nikolai manages to be likeable some of the time. Eli is just creepy and every time he shows up, I want him to leave.

>>283089 Baki.

>>284186 Honestly this has been my biggest gripe with the comic for ages now. I love Belts art and he draws huge women amazingly but all of the main girls have barely changed since that Christmas arc. If you go back to early chapters they gained way quicker and some like Tanya are drawn THINNER than early chapters. The cult shit is nonsense but if it leads to actual weight gain in then go for it

>>284171 I have severe Elijas fatigue at this point

>>284253 Belts own words regarding this are that he never intended for the girls to gain so quickly, and wanted their gains to be ‘realistic’, which is why their growth has all but stopped. The cult would be a great excuse to restart some more visible gains on the girls, but I’ve my doubts belt will take the opportunity he’s made for himself. Guy never does anything obvious.

>>284262 Also the fact that Tanya is not intentionally gaining. Makes the whole process a lot slower. Also - I anticipate the girls will be getting a lot fatter the second we enter a timeskip after the skiing holiday.

I miss the daily pics

Jeez, I hope belt never makes the mistake of coming here. Y’all are some real negative, armchair writers.

>>284263 Tanya not intentionally gaining is one of the things I actually like. It sets her apart, and I prefer girls who just fall off and let themselves go rather than gaining on purpose >>284281 idk, I think this thread is pretty tame in its criticism compared to the SDC and Kip threads. Most of the complains here feel pretty justified to me. >>284262 I don't mind realistic gains, but I do want there to be actual gains, and it seems like there haven't been any noticeable ones in a while

>>284281 Negativity would be if the complaints were unfounded. But as far as I see it, there is nothing unreasonable about most of the criticisms being lobbied against this comic right now. Belt has clearly not put half enough thought into the story as he needs to. He had a good set of ideas, but the execution is completely off. So far, he's spent more time showing a snowboard race than he has on the mysterious kidnapping cult that apparently has been relevant since the very beginning of the story. Nikolai, the main character, has been irrelevant to any major developments in the story for months. Sara, Nikolai's ex (does anyone even remember her?), hasn't appeared in the comic for over a year. These all speak leagues for how horrendous belt's priorities and pacing are, so far into the comic to boot.

Anyone got the bath tub one? The really heavy girl with long black hair from the photoshoot is in there and her nipples are hard.

>>284281 People have always been positive about the comic, reception simply started to turn sour gradually this year because the plot has been meandering far too much and the weight gain aspect has almost been entirely absent. Mind you, pic related is from 2023! Compare it to recent pages and she almost looks smaller at times now. While I can appreciate slow pacing and realistic weight gain I'm not sure if anyone wants to wait until 2030 for the girls to reach 300 pounds or so

>>282092 >>284312 Her

>>284314 Forgot pic

>>284312 That would be Anne-Marie

>>284281 honest feedback would probably help him. he's a great artist, but he's held back by the pacing of the comic and tends to put a lot of effort into things that don't add value to the story. he recently made a post about how he needs to bring in more money to be able to buy a house, but the current issues with the comic are a huge turnoff to anyone who would want to support him for early access. To illustrate my point, look at sweetdream's patreon - she's objectively not nearly as good of an artist, but she makes more money because she actually understands how to pace her comics and actually gives her supporters what they pay for.

>>284452 I don't think he'd take it regardless of how it's given.

>>284281 People are free to criticize, that being said while I can understand people's issues (mainly adding another side plot), I don't mind it since it unlike with say Kip's writing it still pertains to the fetish. Lene ending up joining a some sort of weight gain ring at least is interesting. Not to mention there's still a good deal of mystery. >>284311 The skiing trip just served as a transition, the drama/revelation surrounding Lene that allows the ring that was in the background to some somewhat into focus. I'm assuming after this it'll be back to Nikolai's mainplot. The stuff with his ex probably won't come into focus until we get more backstory surrounding him, and his inner "darkness".

>>283057 It'll at least ensure we'll get one blob girl, since I highly doubt Nikolai's love interests will get any fatter than Anne-Marie. >>283051 Because she's a fatter chick to gawk at while the others are still small. Plotwise she seems to be the reason why Elijah is pulling his little schemes. >>283069 Yup that seems about right with the 3 factions, the mysterious person from the very beginning who was egging on chicks to get bigger (not Elijah) probably belongs to the cult. Now only the question that remains is who exactly are they. >>283068 I highly doubt any of the women in Nikolai's love interest circle would have ever ended up immobile blobs, so at least this gives something for blob lovers to enjoy hopefully we get to see some of the force feeding too, since he's made it clear that Lene isn't as likable or innocent as we first thought way back when.

>>284466 If the comic need a years worth of chapters for a 'transition', then I think theres a pacing problem. Nikolai's abundant issues should've gotten some focal attention in this time, but besides Jon talking about how Nikolai's changed since when they were kids, we've had zilch. I wouldn't fault anyone for forgetting Nikolai even had a troubled past to begin with how little focus it gets. Belt could've had Nikolai's ex attended the goddamn ski trip (assuming she hasn't? it's never brought up but we've not seen her) to keep that plot thread relevant too. But no, lets focus on a confused caricature of an american being a shithead for a month, that's the quality fetish content we're all here for. There's no harm or shame in recognising that belt's writing is becoming steadily more patchwork and uncoordinated. He sets up more and more plot threads without ever resolving them or even bringing them up in a timely manner. Nikolai is /still/ missing his necklace, which happened 2 years ago now, and Nina's been holding onto it for over a year.

>>284171 This is just my ten cents but these girls are WAY too confident in wearing nothing but shapewear when they’re this big, especially in front of classmates who aren’t part of Nikolai’s hog party. A little bit of shame is more in order.

>>284452 Could Belt needing more money be somewhat related to the recent shift in the comic. Lets be honest Sweetdreams doesnt even try much with the writting. Connect the two dots and you got it, fat bitches on every page sell more than drama and slice of life in this community.

>>284531 I think if belt was that desperate with his money situation he would just stop the comic altogether and focus on stand alone pieces and commissions. The comic is a significant timesink for him and he’s constantly running late on the release schedule. He really wants to make a plot driven comic though, even when making it more fetish oriented would ultimately be more appealing to a wider audience.

>>284559 Dunno, most big names on the community usually use long running projects has a hook, with the only noticiable exception being BWS

>>284568 Fair point. Few dollars from hundreds is more sustainable than hundreds of dollars from a few. Nonetheless, as far as trying to make more money off his work goes, I think belt's wasting his time percolating vague mysteries and patchwork plot threads rather than focusing on his more apparent strengths in drawing.

>>284314 Mari's already at 320 pounds though, and Tanya was 275 the last time we saw their weights so they're not too far off.

>>284591 Tbf in Mari's case, she is the tallest of them and has a explicitly higher muscle mass, so that's also factored into her weight. And while I do think belt has something lined up to get Tanya gaining, her weight yo-yoing has kind of been her entire thing, so 25lbs gain could take double the time it otherwise would do if she attempts to keep losing it.

>>284568 Who? Kip, Belt, and Pix are the only cases I can think of. Blackjack doesn't count since he doesn't actually draw his stuff and the quality between all of his projects is debatable. BWS has a large enough fan base to where he doesn't need to, given, I'm not a fan of his art and I think most of his comics are shit. SDC, I guess, but I don't consider them to be huge. Anyway. Belt needs to tighten up.

>>284625 well...SDC has around 1800 paid members, even if all of them had the basic membership, fucker is still earning more twice has what Belt does.

>tranny "callout" post on beltbuster's twitter accusing another artist of using AI I thought he was one of the real ones.

>>285705 He's not wrong though. Plus, the problem is that he's taking comms without disclosing it

>>285705 I mean, AI sucks, so if that's true, then I respect him even more.

>>285705 If you read the posts, the thing belt is asking for is the guy to be transparent about their AI usage if they use it, for the sake of potential customers, since not everyone wants to support AI related things and Belt thinks it would just be respectful to their audience if Ch is upfront about it. >>284314 I remember seeing in the Discord a few months ago that the comic was 1 and a half year from being done, so we have to see if it even goes into 2027

>>285705 imagine being so terminally online you refer to an artist rightfully calling out some bum on twitter for using ai and basically scamming people out of their money as a "tranny callout", use your dad's handgun to go 0/1 irl already

>>285712 Who is belt to tell them what to do? I don’t care about AI the annoying part is seeing him act like another bamboo-ale who thinks that other people need to prove themselves to him.

>>285714 >my parasocial artist friend who doesn’t know I exist said it so it’s true I have a bridge to sell you, it will make a great place for you to jump from.

>>285716 I dont think its about proving themselves, its about having respect and transparency for the audience. If one are taking money for commissions, the customers have a right to know whether AI is being used in the piece or not. Simply having "AI assisted tools" in bio would fix this. Ch has also admitted to using AI before in his server as well, so its not farfetched or anything.

>>285716 Taking comms without disclosing his use of AI is legit asshole behavior and deserves the callout post. I don't care about AI use (I use it myself) but if you're taking money then be transparent about it

>>285717 >my parasocial artist friend who definitely doesn't use ai absolutely doesn't use it at all nevermind the fact that he's so adamant about it he hasn't replied to the accusations at all

>>285745 He has no more need to respond to belt than belt or any other artist has an need to respond to bbw-chan posts.

>>285716 >seeing him act like another bamboo-ale Christ that's sobering as all hell, I would hope he's smart enough to avoid walking down that path after the whole FA sphere has seen where it leads

God I can't wait for belt to release the new part so people can actually talk about his work instead of another artist who may or may not be using ai

>>285753 I believe that getting directly quoted in a site with names attached and that you actually use is pretty different compared to an anon bringing you up here, not every artist use this shithole of a site >>285760 Some schizos haven't gotten over Bamboo after so many years and feel the need bring him up all the time even when he's entirely unrelated

>>285763 There's nothing to get over, the man made a complete ass of himself and his fiances suffered for it, thus becoming the poster boy for artists being retarded. Drawing stacks of melting pancakes instead of women doesn't help

>>285765 Took you like 10 minutes to prove my point. Amazing, how is that even related to this thread though? The schizo thread is the other way

>>285766 Anon mentioned bamboo, you came in ballwashing him, not difficult to grasp. You can stop sucking dick any moment anon, you have my permission

>>285771 >Mentioned that people are obsessed with Bamboo after he was brought up for no reason here, literally nothing else >"Ballwashing" >Also keeps the convo going even though it wasn't even related to thread, proving me right Rent free

>>285763 Bamboo is always going to be remembered as the guy who destroyed his reputation by acting like an ass and trying to bully artists outside of his little clique. If it’s still getting brought up now, it’s because he’s never living it down.

>>285778 Except that no one ever brings him up outside of here. His Patreon, Discord and social media are all in zombie mode, no one actually cares anymore or remembers him or the debacle you speak of but (You).

>>285705 you masturbate to fat cunts on the internet. get off the high horse you retard.

Man, I just want to see Lene blow up with fat

>>285802 Same brother. Same…

>>285802 Realest mfer here Lene's in belts character polls this month, and she'd be winning if Kawakami from Persona 5 didn't have 60 extra votes (his polls have carry over votes from previous months)

>>285813 Double edge sword of rollover polls right there - means she’s probably getting the next one at least

>>285875 She'll definitely win next month if not this time around. The voting gap is slowly closing, only about 5 votes difference right now, so if just a few more go for Lene she'll win in time - would make for a nicely timed Christmas piece.

>>285802 Her, Emma, Anne-Marie, or all three of them I'd kill to see blow up with fat. Feels like one of the girls ought to have their weight gain get out of control.

Is the new page out yet?

>>285922 Nope, still no sign of it

>>285922 Belt wrote in his server he was aiming to be done with it today few days ago, but i always had a +1 day to those announcements.

>>285877 Update on this (since this no update on the comic): Lene’s only 3 votes away from taking the lead and there’s 2 days until the poll closes. Lene victory can still be achieved!

>>286192 And so Emma attempts to utilise the same tactic Tanya did back at the bar and use Fredrik to distract Mari... Oh and hey Sara is here, she might finally be relevant if Pernille randomly showing up doesn't hog the spotlight!

>>286196 Copout shit right here, I want more Fred x Mari NOW. By the way, look how fucking FAT Emma looks here. This is why she is best girl.

>>286196 > the same tactic Tanya did back at the bar and use Fredrik to distract Mari.. man I forgot that happened. this comic feels like its starting to go in circles a bit, from one bit unsupervised party to the next, with little to differentiate them. I'm hoping Tanya gets an arc soon, I feel like she's been on the sides for a while

>>286216 Being someone who was formerly of this age in the region, this is definitely realistic as to the things European students get up to. (Parental) supervision is something that really isn't common during these parties. It's been quite restrained with the drinking, actually. At that point in the party everyone'd be 4 beers deep (if you're not a woman for women can't fuckin' drink for shit lmao). I will be stoked to see what Emma gets up to. Boozed up Emma is a recipe for good stuff to happen.

>>286217 it might be realistic, but its not very interesting, especially when we've had many other scenes like this already

>>286192 Why is this series popular? It looks like another example of a "weight gain comic" thats actully just filler. Kipteitei does it, Pixiveo does it, SDC ect...

>>286219 >I want to jerk off to girls getting bigger with no plot What you want is a weight gain sequence, not a comic. Hope this helps!

>>286217 >boozed up Emma is a recipe for good stuff to happen preach. Emma already looks fucking amazing here, I wanna see the drunk shenanigans these idiots get up to

>>286219 >cough cough, thats why Belt is among the lowest earning artists on the community. Dont even bother, Belt fans are gonna try convincing you this comic is somewhat superior to others.

>>285716 >"They have a RIGHT to scam people!' How much you wanna bet this clown is the guy that got called out to begin with?

>>286220 nobody was complaining about the plot until recently when it started getting boring. people just want a WG comic that doesn't try and cram in 50 unrelated subplots, but no one seems capable to doing that anymore

>>286216 Worst thing is we're almost certain to get another repeat when belt covers Russetid. I can only hope he has some unique events planned for it rather than more of the same. Tanya is also apparently meant to be getting some development by the very end of this arc I've heard? >>286219 It's because the series started off with a strong promise of both story and wg, but now neither are particularly good as the plot and characters have been largely stagnant for the past year because of the slow ass pacing (and the 50 unrelated subplots). Belt's lost focus in an attempt to put too much into a comic that began with the premise of girls getting fat.

>>286232 Real belt fans can admit the comic sucks ass and that it needs more fat bodies being openly flaunted (and a plot that actually makes sense). I'd say the character polls are our last real hope of seeing any of the comic girls bellies on display before christmas, but Lene's still losing the poll by 4 votes because people would apparently rather see the bland af teacher from P5.

>>286214 "MARI X FRED" Noooooooooooo

>>286274 I think it's moreso the page releases slowing down a lot recently. If you read this back to back I think it's all a lot easier to stomach. Also, >>286220 is right in this regard - if all you want to do is jack off to it there's more than enough of Belt's art for you to go around. >>286232 Not an especially big Beltbuster fan, but I think the comic is pretty decent. Also - we're heading into a confrontation as we speak. Don't cry nothingburger before your burger is finished. Patience is a virtue. >>286328 Yes. Mari x Fred and Emma x Niko. Fight me.

>>286370 >Also, >>286220 is right in this regard - if all you want to do is jack off to it there's more than enough of Belt's art for you to go around. No, I'm not looking for a WG sequence, I just want better writing/pacing in this comic. The slower release schedule might be part of it, but it really does feel like nothing fun has happened in a while. I used to be really enjoying it, but the past 15 chapters or so have really lost me.

>>286370 >Don't cry nothingburger before your burger is finished. The ski trip arc has been going on for a /year/. Being upset at the utter lack of weight gain in a years worth of this comics run is completely reasonable. You can only give a donkey the stick for so long before it demands the carrot. Also, this 'confrontation' you're talking about will be extremely underwhelming at best, or nonexistent at worst. There's absolutely no reason for Pernille's presence to cause any issue for anyone, not even Emma, since there was no problem when they last met around Elijas house (back when Nina first tasted Nikolai's cooking).

Oh, and an update on the monthly poll in case anyone cares: Lene is still 4 votes behind with less than a day left for voting. If anyone was hoping to see more Lene sooner than later and isn't yet part of belt's patreon, now would be the time to help tip the scales.

>>286370 Fuck Emma X Niko.

>>286063 >ywln wait on a 500lb couch potato gf.

>>286370 Yeah, the thing is, when you read the ski arc ignoring the time gaps of the released parts, Its not really like bad pacing or anything, and feels like a normal length to it. Its likely just due to the release schedule and having the time to make and release the parts is that makes it just feels worse than it is. There are times maybe where having the comic be black and white, Belt couldve dedicated the coloring and shading time to just making more pages instead wouldve alleviated it more. But i'm not sure.

>>286390 based. tanya is best girl

I don't care mostly about the drama, I'm mostly lurking in the hopes of there being eventually a corset subplot in the comic

>>286437 my two cents- i think that arc would do better as a separate comic. this story already has a lot going on, and none of the main characters feel like they'd care about hiding their gain at this point. And I'd be a bit disappointed if the corset was used on one of the lame side characters like Elijas' girlfriend or someone like that

>>286436 Doubtful, I feel like she has much less of a connection and history with Niko besides being a less interesting character than Emma overall. Also Emma has bigger tits lmao its sometimes just that easy

>>284319 Holy shit. The end hit me hard. The look on his face, that guy isn't dealing with regular issues. That's trauma. Damn bros.

>>286475 she was Niko's childhood friend, and they bonded over art or something I think (it happened like 60 pages ago so idk) but they do have a decent enough history, at least as strong as Niko and Emma. And imo, she's a much more interesting and likeable character than Emma

>>286219 >Why is this series popular? It looks like another example of a "weight gain comic" thats actully just filler. Kipteitei does it, Pixiveo does it, SDC ect... Because nearly every single page features a fat chick, and has a plot that actually progresses, unlike Kip's slop, where the chicks don't even have fat arms despite eating barrels of slop. >>286436 I'm attracted to Tanya's build the most but its obvious Emma will probably be the one who ends up with Niko. As for Tanya, I have no idea who she ends up, maybe goes lesbo with her friend.

>>286499 >60 pages ago Man this reminds me how egregiously long singular pages in this comic are lmfao But I must have memoryholed that, yeah. Even when considering this, I don't think it makes up for her character. It's not bad by any metric, but it just feels like... she has less going on? Also, is she still not clued in to Niko liking fat chicks? >>286501 Praying that you're right, I guess.

>>286502 > It's not bad by any metric, but it just feels like... she has less going on? Also, is she still not clued in to Niko liking fat chicks? I disagree, I feel like Emma is a lot less interesting than Tanya by a large margin. Tanya is much more likeable and easy going. And the fact that Tanya doesn't know Niko likes fat girls makes her gaining all the cuter, since its just incidental and not to seduce him.

>>286501 want to put my two cents in too. I enjoy this comic (both the plot and WG) most of the time, but I'm starting to feel he hangs too many Chekhov's guns, which rarely fire. I do like them, and it's okay to have a lot of subplots, but I'd prefer if some of the mysteries were already solved. I don't think it's boring, but I can see one some do because there's too much intrigue to read about slice of life. I don't think the pacing is bad; it's more like it feels this way because we can't read it in one go.

Stop introducing so many elements that will be important later all at once when you know the format and release schedule means it takes 5x longer than to get to it then it does to introduce it.

>>286450 Fair enough.
