Mid chapter POV swaps are the bane of people like me who use a screen reader to listen to stories. It never picks up the fancy splitter people use to show the pov swap, and backing up an audio is more of a pain than scrolling up on a screen to do a double take.

Surprise that by the grace of the gods anime is better than the book. Always thought the pacing was so slow but the anime speeds things up a lot

Watched a youtube video where they talked about stuff people hate in writing. The guy had an interesting take on "info dumps." He said that the problem with info dumps isn't the information, it is the build up. If readers want to know about the information then they won't be complaining about it being an info dump.

Thought that was an interesting way to put it.

Saying someone was "Fatally electrocuted" is redundant. Because electrocution implies fatality.

Thinks that sacrificing farmland for data centers is a weird trade off. Wouldn't it make more sense to build them in the desert?

Dropping into the drowning deep. I like the idea but the author really doesn't get maritime engineering well. Too much suspension of disbelief for something that isn't supposed to be an urban fantasy.

Looking at the time stamps on some of the posts makes me wonder if people on the forums are vampires.

In the 1700s a pirate crew was captured and two of them were female. It shocked the world that women could be pirates. They executed the whole crew but the women pleaded for mercy saying they were pregnant and the judge believed it.

Checked out a for sale by owner house yesterday and asked about putting in an offer, my realtor said that the lady that I was talking with lost her husband last night. Feels bad about bugging her about a property sale when she's going through that.

In 1856 when the British invaded settlements along the white sea, the locals took the opportunity to sell supplies to the sailors that blew up anything they considered government property. The government didn't appreciate this.

Hyper-sonic missiles are not impressive. They have been around a long time. ICBMs go much faster than the speed of sound in orbit. But all missiles have to slow down when they approach their target. So it is not like they are perfect. It is just an impressive name.

I need to clean up the place and get rid of stuff that has been sitting around for years.

Another word screen readers struggle with.

Agape (Greek word for love)
Agape (someone with their mouth hanging open)

The difference is obvious.
