Medieval magic? No, that's a circlejerk for the army at play. Magic would NOT be as portrayed in most fantasy isekai, because it comes from games and for the protagonist to shine. Magic is in essence applied sciences. Yes, it kills the fantasy of magic being all mystical, but it's the hard...

There is a very interesting, though incredibly biased, piece of fiction over at Royal Road where the Soviets and US find portals to another dimension around the world and they go in and fuck shit up. The setting is the cold war, with Nixon and Brezhnev being the leaders of each country, though...

I think I read a bit about what you're talking about. The story had a system right? And people had powers beside the system? And the mc was a leader kind of person for some reason?

yikes.

But why would they juse Japanese words in the first place? Languages evolve to use the most simple word for a concept, especially if they're loan words. It does feel out of place in-world, especially for a system. Imagine you're working on your math homework and go, "Ah, yes, I need my...

Absolutely agree. You can't let that effort make it a chore to read, however. It's very interesting to play with languages, and we have to remember the readers don't know the same things as the authors when writing, unless you're catering to the niche, which is absolutely fine. A while ago...

bruh, that looks amazing! Can't wait to see it on the trending <3

That creates a loop, unfortunately. You see, speech is not something easily handwaved or explained through a system. Speech (especially complex speech) is, if not the most, one of the most important aspects of humanity when differenciating ourselves from animals. Toddlers start talking at 12...

Well... it depends. If you're writing about a culture that speaks a language that is not english, 'date' would be the proper translation. In castillian spanish, we have 'cita' which can be used as 'date' 'appointment' 'quotation', and a few more. The word 'cita' comes from a person requiring the...

Yeah, environmental differences most of the time. This does me a consistency concern. It's never good to turn an evolutionary gain into something attainable with stats... Does jimmy, who never increased his intelligence, not know how to talk?

Word, Apache OpenOffice, Cambridge Dictionary (physical copy(it's a thicc boy)), Thesaurus . com, online dictionary when looking for definitions I don't find on the physical copy. Grammar-checking apps can suck my asscrack, they're shit IMO.

So INT gives working vocal cords? Speech areas of the brain are developed? A bird would be able to talk if it has high int despite not even having the adequate lung shape to push enough air at the proper pace and make more than a cuack? Or is everything born with vocal cords they just can't use...

Give the people of your worlds the most basic of cleverness, please. If INT indeed increases soft intelligence outside of combat/magic, then everybody would increase that regardless of whatever. Think of it as earning money without doing a thing. Everyone on Earth would pick that, because the...

Feels like a parasitic gacha game that's going to ask me for premium currency at every turn. You need to do a shit ton of info dumping and remind your audience every few chapters of what is what. I wonder how much story, char development/interaction is going to be consumed and posponed to...

Let me give you funny examples. 1.- Trauco. A South American 'monster' of folklore. Standing at around 80 cm tall, he looks like a scrunched up human, but has a grotesque face and it's legs end up at the ankles since it has no feet. With A SINGLE GLANCE from this monster the following happens...

Obviously? I didn't bash polyamory. All I did was suggest how they could have taken advantage of a very powerful natural resource that you can name however you want in-world, while being a cooperative polyamorous society and make loads more sense when considering suspension of disbelief without...

They weren't fistfighting them, they wrestled. That's where all the moves came from, didn't you know? That excess you speak about is an outlier. It's like saying eating food is good, then you come and present overweight people and why it's bad for our health... between two healhy bronze age...

I read the little bit of plot you wrote on the other thread, and some concerns popped up from a biology-evolution perspective. If they're Humans like us, then I only have one word: Testosterone. If the healers can 'manipulate the body on the cellular level', they should have realized the...

There was a story about an ugly bastard with a NTR system, in which he helps women in toxic relationships if I remember correctly. Don't remember the name atm, however.

Well, the venue could be a ballroom or an event room or something like that, depending on culture. If your Royals find Justification of Rule through God, they could do it in the Church like centuries ago, or a cathedral, or something like the Vatican where the Pope has their throne if relations...
