    Salty comments on stories

    If I don't like a story because it's not my thing, I just drop. If it's got specific issues, like a passive main character or nonsensical villain with no brain cells, I'll comment about those.

    I need help with a system!

    Sounds like the basic playbook from World of Darkness's Masquerade effect. Vampires just used basic mind control to make people forget. Werewolves and other shifters, well, could hide as humans. Magic users go with memory fuzzing again, while the fae cover themselves with innate illusions (an...

    Writing What Makes A LitRPG Good?

    Technically, the Wandering Inn is a LitRPG, but the only numbers it has are the level number, and then you have random skills that aren't described by said system. Probably one of the best stories out there. As such, I have to say that the most important thing in the lirRPG part are leveling...

    The guilds or lack thereof

    Well, just as likely the story just lets magic users and theives and the like level up from hunting monsters. I mean, I get how it happens. I just find it funny thinking that the first day of wizard school in an adventurer-based world? The teacher basically suits everyone up on a goblin...

    The guilds or lack thereof

    Merchant and craftsmen guilds are usually distinct from the Adventurer's Guild, in my experience, in the fiction I've read. I've seen them have their own guilds with fair frequency. Thief and assassin guilds are quite common as well. When all is said and done, "adventurer guild" is really just...

    What make a demihuman "Demihuman"?

    Demi-human is just another way of saying "human-shaped being while not being human." Elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, etc are all demihumans. Insult? Probably - I can't imagine elves like being called pointy eared humans, even if the author makes it true. But demi-human is mostly used as a meta...

    Why NTR is hated so much.

    NTR is just the "Cheating" kink under a new label. Lots of people dislike that kink. That's really the beginning and end of it.

    Decline in moral standards in web novels

    I can think of plenty of stories with morals. Fundamentally, though, you have to remember that the overwhelming majority of web novels are power fantasies and wish fulfillment; morals are restraint, not wish fulfillment. The more popular something becomes, the more of the latter you'll find...

    The Demon god is choosing a new demon lord and you were summoned, what sin would you choose?

    Hm. None. What's the point of being a demon lord of a sin if you can't follow your passions?

    What do you think about fluff?

    Fluffy fur is the best. Next question. Joking aside. World building is good. Slice of life scenes with character development is good. Just remember - Everything in moderation is good.
