Most of the problems are most certainly glossed over, but honestly you severely underestimate how many people, especially the type to read these stories that would enjoy leaving their lives behind. Also, there are a lot of stories where they in fact do have trouble with them but where it's only...

At most 5 but I'd advise 2-3. There's only so much attention you can give each one in the story and the majority of your readers are going to forget a character aften less than 10 chapters if they don't have at least some meaningful presence within that time. It does also somewhat depend on your...

Dont need the saving a bunch of people part. Why would I say no to being happy? Only real downside I can see would be her age, sickness or other things that might result in her early death and my misery.

Honestly? I think the primary reason is simply that we have way too much stuff to do today. Birth rates and marriage falls when work and/or internet culture takes over. We're constantly bombarded with information and things to do to the point where adding even more just seems impossible.

Production cost, information density, availability. Personally I also love being able to intake information at my own pace, instead of movies, broadcasts and similar where it's always either too slow or too fast.

Really? Just be consistent with the facts... The vast majority of them are just throwing numbers and information left and right only to change them within a couple of chapters, sometimes even in the same chapter. The rest seems more like a matter of opinion to me, but I'd like to see more...

That is quite literally the only one out of a dozen different versions where he wears a codpiece instead of w/e you call the loose leather flapping around in the wind. Which doesn't seem very practical either. This post was asking about practical fantasy armour and NOT about sexism. Only wearing...

Where the hell do you get this stupid crap from? Just stop trying to make me sound stupid by putting words in my mouth that I never said nor implied. The only of those things you just mentioned that isn't considerably more expensive than regular clothes would be fur and funnily enough that would...

How about you actually read the comments you respond to? NOTHING in my comments says a female character can't run around in a bikini. The problem is in the bikini ARMOUR part. You know, The part that actually makes it expensive and impractical? The male equivalent would be if Conan ONLY wore a...

What are you on about? There are a ton of different clothes and armours for different environments and situations. My comment was against bikini armour specifically because even just wearing a regular bikini would be better since your skin can actually breathe and you don't have to lug around a...

Conan generally isn't portrayed as wearing armour, which makes perfect sense because he's not rich and in a hot climate. Armour was expensive, even a gambeson was many times the price of a regular set of clothes which were often weeks of work. In deserts you'd rarely see people wear armour for...

Not exactly a new problem, also the reason I barely read anything on here. I think it's almost 2 years ago that I started only checking in on the top 9 trending stories once every few days and doing a search every couple of months, for the exact same reasons.
