I certainly prefer a regular fantasy that's not harem, isekai, litrpg or anything like that. But in terms of sheer numbers, the top of the charts here is dominated by just that - harem, isekai, litrpg, smut...

With western religions, sure, Abrahamic religions are mostly out by their very nature (a single allmighty god and all that), but you have many possible choices, of which Norse/Germanic and Greek mythologies are only the more famous ones. But there were also Slavic and Celtic paganism, then...

Made in Abyss... The cover, the trailer I have seen of it, everything gave a lighthearted kids adventure vibe...

I did see it used in some novels, one of which was a Chinese derivative of WoW - since WoW uses yards to denote skill ranges, it was a convenient unit to use for distances there. Personally I don't like when authors do this. Why reinvent the wheel? I don't go into novels to grapple with...

None of those would be a good choice without the ability to blend in and/or survive - either through your own knowledge and preparation, or whatever power grants you this vacation. Should that not be a concern, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece and Ancient China were the pinacle of civilization of...

Pernament stat boost - or any reliable pernament boost - is a bad idea. All it would do is create a joke race full of people who are drunk all year round from the moment they are able to drink until they max out their stats (unless, as others said, a single point is meaningless in the grand...

Personally, I don't care much if magic can ignore real-world science, but there's a point where it breaks suspension of disbelief. An example of such a point are commonly System stories, notably HP values combined with rigid damage system. If I lop off your head, you're dead, I don't care that...

In my opinion there are two factors to this - reading comprehension, which I'm not going to claim is particularly high in some circles, and reading retention. By which I mean those commenters might have read all the things you are pointing out, but they do not retain that information between...

Please help, I don't know how to take this test.

It appears the fanfictions have been found to be and reported as translations. Translations are not allowed on this site, unless you are the author (and from the sheer number of chapters you are putting out, I highly doubt you are), and so they are hidden. They can be accessed, but cannot appear...

I'm disappointed there is no poll in this thread.

If he does not have three bastard childern by the age of 18, he's not Zeus.

I can easily imagine stories like those leading to myths of "the great evil that dwells bellow" sort, swallowing ships either out of unsatiable hunger or sheer malice, and keeping the people from reaching for the suns, discouraging them from trying to dive altogether to avoid this evil. Similar...

They could absolutely be used for navigation, though it would be more complicated. In a comparison with our world, it would not be just clouds blocking the sight of the stars (on both sides of the bubble), but also other landmasses, and stormy seas could make accurate acquisition even harder due...

Yes, that absolutely sounds good. Going by gut feeling rather than any particular science, I would say 2 stars would be sufficient, 3 would be good, 4-5 if you were feeling fancy, but anything more that that is starting to feel too convoluted.

That sounds like a curious, plausible idea. Just with only one sun, you have to remember it would be dark on both continents at the same time, more dark on the continent blocking the light, and probably brighter on the landmass on the receiving end of the shadow. Some day-night/seasonal cycle...

I can think of several novels where poverty is used to varying degrees, either as part of the character's background or motivation, or a temporary circumstance, but one where it is a lasting, major theme is harder to think of. Those are probably the closest two I know Lament of the Slave - it's...

So as I understand this, the islands are facing inwards, sitting on the inside of an ocean-bubble? I think the sun lighting up the world through this bubble from the outside is a cool idea. The world would likely never get truly dark, due to the light scattering through the water, just...
