I actually have that problem with sex scenes myself... Which is why most of mine or more ... poetic ... than smut.

I think the only one I've named is also the title of the story (with the main character in the series played by the child of the main character in the novel; said child also writing intros to each "case file") - True Blue. An early draft mentioned a few other shows (based on either heroes of...

My first story had a problem with ordering for the first week it was on the site, then it suddenly was right.

Kelly/Sparrow might have a chance. David would be dead in the first fight, unless he had time to think and full access to his magic. Sandra and Liz would at least m,ake it to the semi-finals, maybe farther, the others would not last long but would do better than David. Jack might win one fight...

Strangely enough I have one called that... The sequel isn't finished (and the probably three past that are just notes right now)... and a few others. You'd want to skip Strange Awakening as that is gender bender superhero (and probably slop), but the rest might be at least decent slop...

Ah, misread "Living" as "Evil" - but then Evil and Live are mirror images of each other!

An evil puppet? Makes me wish I could track down a copy of "Dungeon Master, Dungeon Master, What Have You Done?"... (ans: summoned a demon, played by either a puppet or a Mad Ball; don't remember which - to fill in for an absent player).

Alfred Hitchcock loved plotting out movies, planning every scene and movement ... and then regularly fell asleep during the actual filming because THAT bored him.

Only laughing because I've kind of been there - only 60 chapters but took two passes to find the character before I could progress.

Feeling a need to focus on one story when I kind of want to be writing a different one (but have deadlines, or expectations, or a scene I really need to get out but am not quite there yet)... That and mandatory editing of "fiddly bits" after the fact.

Healing is as fast or slow as is Dramatically Important(TM). (regardless of genre - can find a "miracle cure" in a modern setting, or advanced medicine in a sci fi one if it becomes important) i.e. if the character needs to be up and ready immediately, they'll be fully or near-fully healed by...

If I read the original post correctly the complaint is that MOST of the stories of this trope ALSO have an Overpowered Protagonist and thus are boring so should cease existing.

I strongly suspect some of the people who use AI frequently or constantly started out by getting stuck in a contract like WebNovel's, and started using AI to meet the demands of the deal. Would not be surprised if they are posting stories elsewhere that are either partially AI or now FEEL like...

I try to do this but usually wind up with shorter fights anyway. If you can see my sig, you can check out my stuff (probably the worst would be Strange Awakening - the last two fights near the end of this are long and brutal though - and the best by your criteria hasn't gotten to the first...

I've seen fiction handle the photographic memory thing differently. The one that seems the most accurate from what I've read from psychiatrists was Mike on Suits - who had perfect recall of anything he'd ever read. The least accurate but coolest was Poppy Montgomery's character on...

When my brother was teaching classes in Tennessee (he's in, of all places, Hawaii now), he did a lot of research into AI, and frequently discussed it with his students, both in class and in one-on-one sessions, He found a lot of students used AI to pad their work, but most of them DID the work...

That is debatable as one may be more accurately a "clone" than an "offspring" - used to know the whole debate but that was years ago.

Well, I haven't "abandoned" anything, just placed some on hiatus while others took my focus... Cycles swing around...

Hmm - this does make me wonder if any of my own stuff would detect as "AI written" ...

You do know Romantasy is a very popular genre on Amazon right now, right? A merging of the two? And really, Romance IS often a kind of fantasy anyway... though I prefer fantasy without the romance, I tend to write it with.
