    What Race do you dislike More?

    I also hate humans. I mean, not inherently, but if there are fantasy races, I don't want them to be hamstrung to put humans on a pedalstool, underdog or otherwise.

    Does anyone else also hate how reincarnation is often handled?

    In terms of how the reincarnation happens or who did it, I don't really care? I mean, there are times when stories can tie it into the larger plot and characters, but I'm fine with it being a freak accident because the universe and the cycle of life and death are vast and complicated and...

    Guilty Pleasure Tropes?

    Sometimes I'll search for fics with the harem tag, just to make sure I find stories that don't take themselves too seriously.

    MC as Oppressed or Oppressor?

    Fuck underdogs. Having antagonists that are stronger than the MC is fine and all. Just don't do the whole poor talentless cripple peasant MC with a pathetic skill/class who gets laughed at by everyone thing. Like, they're the MC of a progression fic. We all know how this is going to go. Get on...

    Gender Bender Bait

    I think one reason it may happen sometimes is the author fantasizes about becoming a girl because they're an egg or something, but the author themselves don't realize that it's something they fantasize about, so they gloss over it because they haven't put a lot of thought into it.

    I met an Itachi glazer and now I must vent.

    I think Itachi is cool. Though I guess treating his actions as completely justified could have some unwanted implications.

    Your opinions on the way that dark elves are written in fantasy novels

    I think I've seen stories with this trope where dark elves are influenced by, I dunno, some evil/ruthless god, and may or may not be matriarchical/live underground/be backstabbing/whatever. But you can do whatever. If you just want elves with purple skin who get +1 to stealth instead of to...

    Chanting spells

    The author doesn't need to create a way for people to use magic without chanting. Just because people in-universe may try to cast magic without chanting, doesn't mean they can actually succeed. Sometimes, limitations (if it is such) in a setting don't exist for the sake of being ignored by...

    What do you consider a small harem?

    Imo 3-4 would be a small harem.

    Chanting spells

    Chants come from the author thinking they're cool and mystical, and creating an in-universe reason to justify it. And then other authors were like, how about if people in my setting also chanted but my MC was special and had no weaknesses, so they decided that, for example, actually chanting is...

    As a reader, how important is an author following a schedule?

    I've heard that it's good for algorithms, and if people are trying to make a living I won't fault them for worrying about statistics, but I personally don't really care. And this probably varies from person to person, but I'd especially hope it doesn't impact their mental health or the quality...

    Based 4.6 billion years of evolution

    Those like those protagonists. It would be nice to see more of them.

    For GL/Yuri readers— will this idea flop?

    Different people have different interests, so be clear up front what they're getting into.

    Checkpoint system

    So, like a time loop story? I'd be interested. I like those when they're done well. Just make sure that a majority of focus is put on the MC's experiences/relationships (which better not be devalued by the unlimited time travel) and character development (which btw is different from growing...
