No.

There's just no real alternative with the sheer scale and breadth of YT's content. Everything else is either too small, focussed on a particular niche or specialized in something where YT is behind. It's the first time I'm hearing about Rumble, Odyssey and D-Tube (or I might have heard of them...

If I make it past the synopsis, then usually 1-5 chapters, depending on chapter length, format and medium, as well if there is at least something interesting in the chapters. This of course does not account for cases when I hit on, or the story shifts too far into something that turns me away in...

Depends what is your goal, in relation to the mysteries? In your example, if how the system came to be is not really relevant to the plot, you do not need to reveal it, but if figuring that out is a more central theme, you should have it resolved by the end. Or at least have notable progress...

There are tags that make me interested in a book, and tags that reliably turn me away, but there is no combination that is guaranteed to draw me in. It's the combination of cover and title that make me click on it, as well as tags and synopsis that might convince me to give it a try. Fantasy and...

What did you say about my mother?!

The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. It is limited in scale and the ending is kind of disappointing for an apocalypse story, but for its age, it's a solid book.

Gravity has fuckall effect on the damage of guns, unless we are talking gravity of the magnitude that would make continued survival impractical anyway. Gunpowder sudenly getting weaker only makes sense if you handwave away chemistry, and by that point you have to rethink the physics of...

Half of "alien invasion on Earth" Japanese novels/manga/anime (and those inspired by them I guess) have conventional weapons not working at all, or being barely a hindrance. From the top of my head, Evangelion, Chrome Shelled Regios and Darling in the Franxx all have enemy that is impervious to...

My pet peeve is when conventional weapons do not work, so they invent a weapon that does work, but they only mount it in half a dozen humanoid mechs (already a terribly inefficient design in itself, but that's a whole different rant) that can only be operated by teenagers. Even better when they...

For most stories I have read, the characters dealing with their transformations is mostly limited to the opening stages. After that, it's mostly forgotten. The closest I can think of are probably An Unwilling Monster and Fork This Life! Felice hybrid and From the Outer, might be worth checking...

I suppose your best bet is just to not describe any of the problematic sexual content. You can mention it happened, or you can "fade to black" right as it starts and skip to the aftermath, but avoiding any of the juicy details that could trigger the rules.

I see no winner down here... other than me! At least for a short while.

And once he can swing a wooden sword without maiming himself, we can send him into the cave of giant spiders. Without telling him we already lost a squad of soldiers there. Trust me, it will be a good test. ...and if he does not come back, we have a dozen others happy to take his place. The...

The issue is, an omniscient and omnipotent being saving the world makes for a very dull story. There are no real saviours of civilisation. The closest you can get to those are particularly infuential or powerful figures in politics and diplomacy, sometimes great generals of the past (including...

Nothing, since there would be no point in buying anything I would even be able to buy within that hour.

Wah is life.
