    If you were to be isekai’d

    Yep, if no changes were made, I'd join you in that special class. Extreme depression doesn't help with survival at all. Nor do the other health issues, but those aren't as bad for me. Another reason healer is an excellent choice -- can fix yourself.

    [Poll] Inhuman Romantic Partner

    No kitsune/kumiho/huli jing/foxgirl makes me sad. From those choices, vampire, I guess. I already hate sunlight, so wouldn't have to change my habits. And might get to turn into a vampire too, and being immortal would be nice, plenty of time to do anything then. I don't think they could feed...

    If you were to be isekai’d

    I think most people just don't think it through. Removing infections and cleansing wounds is killing, then you have the obvious increase in cell reproduction that is normal healing. Flip it around and you can cause necrosis and cancer. If you can do painkilling, then you can also stop hearts...

    If you were to be isekai’d

    Hopefully end up as a foxgirl for one, then go mage/healer if possible. Healing is a lot more impressive than most think, as the processes involved basically turn it into a horrifying monster if you just reverse things a bit. Quite easy to protect yourself if you can just drop people with a...

    Supernatural creatures with one/much more weird caveats

    In most stories I've read, kitsune are just fox-people. In the actual mythology, they are foxes that can appear as humans after they've grown enough in power. Similarly, kitsune have an object that is essentially their soul given form, and if stolen, you can basically order them around however...

    How Do You Love Your Own Work?

    I like my work, but it is far too flawed for me to love it. Gotta keep improving.

    Determining the Optimal Level of Overpoweredness: Is It Possible?

    Always keep in mind that everything influences everything else. My favorite example is magic, it seems like it just adds something, but why would someone figure out coal boilers if they can just have a fire mage heat a water tank? Would anyone figure out generators if someone can just magic...

    Determining the Optimal Level of Overpoweredness: Is It Possible?

    This one reminds me of a story I read ages ago, though I forgot the name. The MC eventually got a kind of symbiotic armor thing that let them revive after death, but the cost was that someone they loved would unavoidably die for each time they avoided death. And of course, they didn't know...

    Determining the Optimal Level of Overpoweredness: Is It Possible?

    If you do want to go super-OP, take a look at Death March and how they handled it. Instead of the MC just plowing through everything, they act as a guardian and teacher, helping to raise other characters up.

    What are your favourite depressing stories?

    Worm, a superheroes/villains story that gets really damn dark as it goes on. Pact, from the same author, a book about the magical world that also is quite dark.

    How'd you get your start?

    I've always done a lot of creative thinking, and running multiple worlds inside my mind since I was a kid. Also, I read so damn much... Full paperback per day for years straight. Eventually I started reading stories on the web, and ended up talking with an author who helped convince me to...

    How can I get my novel back on trending

    I'd say just don't worry about it. I've made it to trending once, which was nice, but you should be writing for your own enjoyment, not for numbers on a website, IMO.

    How long does it take you to write a chapter?

    For me, it takes one to four hours to write a chapter of 1k-3k words. The problem is that I often can't write due to depression kicking my ass. I also don't edit my work at all, I just do my best to do it right the first time. At the moment, I'm on week three for this one chapter I think...

    Recommendations Any super-duper funny fantasy stories?

    I found this one highly amusing back when I was still reading it - https://www.scribblehub.com/series/175252/angel-and-demon-two-generals-retirement/

    ❣Single or Taken?

    Dawn, the human, is still a child, and single, though one of her friends is interested in her. That said, she left the village to go to the capital, so even more single. Niphru, the kitsune, is still only a fox, and basically a child too, and so far planning on them remaining single, but all my...

    Has anyone found an interesting novel?

    My top three recommendations would be Mother of Learning (Time loop mage story), A Tail's Misfortune (Kitsune, woo!), and Blue Core (Dungeon core novel with foxgirl secondary main character)

    Have you ever veered off from your initial idea so hard that you need new outline?

    I don't even bother with outlines, my characters go against my plan about 90% of the time, so it is pointless to even try. I only know what happens in advance when I'm behind on writing and ahead on watching my chars.

    What's your favorite foxgirl novels?

    Not all of us like furry stuff. Just fluffy tail and ears.

    What's your favorite fantasy creature?

    Screw that, make a nature golem instead, or have the tree growing out of an earth elemental. Better yet, have a dryad bound to a treant growing on an earth elemental.
