User blog comment:BrianBerta/Are all ritual pastas pretentious?/@comment-26475800-20160117054804

There is a good deal of stories which have a ritual in them, which are more "ritual pasta" than some of the others I've seen. There are few pastas in the genre that I'll read, if I catch one by surprise, well that is a good thing and proves the author knew what he was doing. But for the most part it is what was mentioned below, same format for every ritual pasta, you want something, do something heinous or dangerous, and receive the something you wanted. Not really much skill or anything else to it.
