At this point, it's worth noting that people become elitist about everything, not just limited to story structure or art stye. They'll be elitist about genre, authors, approaches to therapy, cars, podcasters, scientists, relationship advice. People just like complaining. What you need to do in...

I have to wonder if you're way too far into the field or just not running in healthy circles. Searching plot structures on google will almost always produce a varied list of options. If you read from these sites, it's impossible to come out with the idea that the hero's journey is your only...

You sleep next to your mom?

I thought it was a lovely video. It seemed a little obvious to me, but I understand how people who arent knee deep in a subject might just latch onto the popular thought and not know the nuances like "there are in fact many different frameworks for different genres and stories." I thought...

So, Wano overall is not the greatest and thats reflected in reduced sales in volumes. Online discourse is also a little sour but online discourse cant be trusted to tell you what the target market feels. I'm sad that the lesson that Oda took from this was that he had to go even faster, but its...

Okay, so this requires observing how shonen jump operates with their long running series. But for things like Black Clover, Bleach and Toriko, it isn't strange for their final arcs to take two years to finish. Shokugeki no Soma also showed an interesting case where you could tell exactly when...

I... read everything that comes out from shonen jump and and shonen magazine... along with the stuff from whatever magazine adapts the isekai light novels. Sailus, I'll support your like of toriko though! To it's credit, the gourmet world part was a victim of toriko no longer being popular and...

I appreciate the caution, and yes, tread with caution buuuuut, what are you really risking by embarking on litrpg as a training ground? Really, your time. That's it. Just your time. Maybe credibility if you dont insulate yourself right. Doing LitRpg is just practical on these platforms. One, it...

f you are writing a long term action and/or adventure, I recommend doing a litrpg because the money making potential is high and you can afford to learn tricks while making money if you're at a standard level of quality. All new authors on here and royal road should start with litrpgs if they...

Friend, why are you not a forty year old mom with kids, a 60K+ salary and frequent Starbucks drinker?

Hey, rooting for you man. I'm happy you found something of value here. I started on KU with a non-existent base and was able to get something, which I think you can too if you find the right audience. Do you have facebook? There's an author group 20booksto5000 which is just authors trying to...

Wow, I thought it was three hads too. I could only make sense of it by reading it as follows. All the faith he had held had had no effect on the outcome of his life. Since held is close enough in meaning to had, you can swap in the "had" to see that it is grammatically correct. Wow, what an...

I'm going to be extremely rough with you, because I don't think anyone else will be. If you want the kind words, you can look at everyone else. If you don't want "rough" you can skip me. This first part will probably be the kindest. "I'm trying to figure out if I can make something out of what...

What exactly are you looking for here? Is there someone that you want that fits a very specific mold? Removing Peterson for being a psychologist is saying you're looking for a very specific kind of success here

We live in an age where everyone is over-exposed, so you're better off accepting that people have flaws and picking someone that fits within your personal goals. In that case: General Well Known Person: Dalai Lama "Popular people:" Joe Rogan for the comedian types. Lex Fridman for introverts...

The problem isn't whether or not it has moral agency, it's whether or not it can trick someone into believing it does. I could be an AI right now. In what capacity am I acting as a tool right now? I might be doing what my programmer wants, so I'm their tool. But our interaction doesn't show any...

Oh.:blob_evil_two: Maybe I should have gone to the hardcore disagree angle.

Google can create a profile for you based on what you look at on the internet, such that it increases the rate at which their ads are clicked on. If someone quantifies the signals a child is giving off and describes it to the AI adequately, determining the right approach would be a matter of...

Rora, don't concede on this. Machine Learning and neural networks are aspects of the current generation of AI. Machine Learning IS a subset AI such that you can use AI to describe it, since it's a subset. If someone is telling you machine learning isn't AI, they are being so non-technical the...

I personally adore long, convoluted names. I wouldn't use them in all my books... But I love them! Whenever I use them, I do so knowing full well it's goofy for modern readers. Anyway, people have brought up other things like the role of Kanji in everything. Other things worth considering is...
