Well, at least one piece of classical literature (blanking on it at the moment but read it along with The Yellow Wallpaper, which might have been better if it did end in a suicide) does, it might be fine. Not sure. But this may not be the best place for it either.

I think DupliKate and Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel also could but not sure.

Have not been able to find the titles, but the late James M. Ward never wrote in third person (did approach "true second person" with some of TSR's "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, though) and was in the middle of a series of LitRPG books that involved historical mythology (IIRC he'd sent the...

It is possible (and easy if you're reviewing something that is "mostly good") but not always practical.

Better to just be HONEST, whether it be nice or harsh, IMO (Or follow the "Shadis System" - eight paragraphs. First paragraph lists an initial impression, three things you liked and three you did not; Each of the next six paragraphs explains one of the six points. Concluding paragraph lists...

Why in first person? Most LitRPG I've seen is not (though at least one started out that way and was changed to third person after readers complained!).

I would seriously consider having them START OUT in Survival Mode. Maybe they never get out of it, and just wind up in a constant struggle. Maybe their explorations lead them to find a way to escape this world (and the moral dilemma of "do we just LEAVE or can we save others... or should we...

Maybe not a lot - there were two episodes of either Pokemon or DBZ (I heard the story just at the tail end of COVID, at one of the first conventions to come back after it) that were never fully translated for overseas markets (IIRC bits of both were "married together" with new dialogue and some...

One 80% positive (this one) two about 75%, one about 50% all the rest mostly negative since the thread started.

That was exactly my point.

I tend to play with both but not focus on either comedy (it's too hard to maintain - and often works best to "season" drama or horror IME) or Slice of Life (like to show the characters' lives, but then have ... stuff ... get in the way). Strange Awakening has about five chapters of "slice of...

For most of my characters, those kinds of comments ARE appropriate - though I often have to change things around for WHICH character says them to make them "fit" - a comment seemed cool and fitting but did not quite belong to the person I originally had saying it, so I wind up having to redo...

I could get behind adding a "shuffle" button to the reading list but not a regular "randomize this" feature.

Not great? Unless the bottom center picture actually shows a small pistol inside the sword handguard - which would be a kind of cool but weird idea - then these are pretty darned good (and if there IS a derringer-level gun in there, that moves it closer to actually great IMO).

Their chief god was the sun itself, Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror - the source of life and the bloodiest of blood soaked gods. His chief rival for control of the pantheon was an outsider (and possibly a real person - a scholar from the one native American tribe with pale hair and gray eyes)...

Traits, Lots of them.

Depends on their use (and, even more on their frequency of use). Used well and sparingly, they are great. Used constantly or badly and they will drag an already weak story down below the bottom of the heap.

No link and double post. One more strike and you're out... :biggrin_s:

Physical heat or spicy heat? If the former, pizza is a good choice. If the latter, Mexican food or something with Ghost Peppers (which seems to be proliferating lately) would get the point across.
