    So many pointless Isekai

    But maybe the real important thing is actually the friends we made along the way :blob_aww:

    What romance tropes you like and don't?

    I like slow romances as opposed to fast ones. For example, I really don't like it when some girl gets saved and immediately falls in love. Or a guy acts nice and a girl immediately falls in love, or... you get the idea. I'd much rather see the guy get friendzoned for 100 chapters or something...

    Shower thoughts on isekai magic systems.

    Indeed. I expect that most Isekais take the "skill" idea from videogames. But the problem is that the "skill" from videogames comes from "skill" in real life. Now, Isekai novels aren't videogames, nor should they emulate videogames. (unless your novel is a game, and the "reader" is plays...

    So many pointless Isekai

    Well this is fun. :blob_popcorn: Do you mind If I join in and try and disect what's happening? If im wrong at some point, please correct me, but: This part is absolutely correct. I don't think anyone here disagrees with this statement whatsoever. The problem lies with these parts here: and...

    So many pointless Isekai

    I'd argue on the side that any isekai'ed person would be at a disadvantage. The problem with knowledge taught in schools is that it's relevent to our culture. However, the average person isn't taught how to make technology from scratch. Lets say you actually remember the Haber process from...

    having a hard time moving on

    My immediate thought is to question the reason you left all your other projects unfinished. if you can figure out what made you drop them in the first place, you can prevent yourself from dropping the next. My expectation would perhaps be that this occurs because you havent fleshed out the...

    Writing short sighted MCs

    When the Mc enters a warm room when (s)he's been outside, if there is a large temperature difference, they can't see anything because their glasses fog up. When looking at lights without glasses, they look like fuzzy splodges. If something hits their head, their glasses have a possibility of...

Looking up beautiful, other words I can add onto...

    This is the type of cover that catches eyes

    This is an interesting idea. I don't quite have the same opinion as "two generic, two good and one bloated". I actually feel like two are "bloated", another is "not quite there yet", and the other is "passable", ignoring the one which doesn't yet have a custom cover. So I'll write my thoughts on...

    How to introduce a new term to your novel?

    I would suggest making a single paragraph describing what it does after using the term(s). You only need to mention the bare minimum immediately, and any lore/flavor/technical aspects you want to add can be done in later chapters when its convenient to- usually just before it actually becomes...

    [PSA] anti harem propaganda

    I concede that it would technically be possible to write an objectively good harem story. A writer could come up with a story that utilises harems in an insightful and meaningful way, rather than just as some form of popularity fan-service coupled with being an easy (and poor) way to develop...

    What is a Hero?

    Aren't you assuming that heroism isn't part of factual reality? I'm stating heroism is objective. That means I believe it exists outside mere human suggestion, obviously. We observe heroism in real life; acts of dedication and acts of self-sacrifice. The main diifference between the real world...

    What is a Hero?

    I'm not sure I understand the argument here. If I say that gravity behaves in some way and someone else disagrees with me, does that make gravity subjective because we need to make a fundamentally arbitary decision on how gravity behaves? edit: some people disagree with the decision that the...

    What is a Hero?

    To explain my view on subjective things: I would agree that everyone sees things through a subjective lens- namely, themself- which I'm assuming you would agree with. As such, I believe subjective things exist. for example, human observations are subjective. however, humans observe objective...

    What is a Hero?

    Since I, too, hate this idea that objectivism doesn't exist, I shall say my bit. The problem with relativism isn't so much the existence of relativism, but the denial of the existence of objectivisim. Take the three following quotations, which gives a relatively good example of what I mean...
