IME, most who make it out of Arkansas alive are happy where they wind up with no desire to return. The other one I know is rich enough to have three homes so we can't figure out why she ever goes back to that one...

Almost as bad - I have a link to an Old English translator... But back on subject - just listened to one of those "Real Stories of Corporate Justice" things my wife is, sadly, addicted to. Started enjoying it when I could count the excessively superfluous and flowery adjectives aggressively...

Never thought of it as a sensitive subject, but I'm about twenty chapters from having to do this myself. Will probably take a combined approach really, as the second most important part of the scene (after the boy's birth) is the father's ghost showing up.

Feels more like he's talking with the System and it's giving him links to various menus from this excerpt.

I kind of prefer when the world forces the MC to come out and change it.

Huh. My litrpg is closer to a xitong than a standard litrpg, and I never encountered the term before... Interesting

As far as I can tell, modern Russia may be as close to a true cyberpunk setting as anything in fiction. Yeah, the tech isn't as advanced but you had a socialist empire that collapsed into a semi-republican plutocracy of squabbling but theoretically aligned states, where the wealthy hold all the...

So what if you are isekai'd not as the hero but as the hero's system in this situation? You are required to keep track of the experience gained and when new powers and skills are available? (See, the prompt worked, just maybe not as intended, and prompted a lot of writing... which may or may...

Heh. Sounds similar, except for the rotating king, to the primary government of the main continent on my fantasy world - the Treaty States of Sadrahanal. The Overking has absolute authority over the city where the throne is located and otherwise NORMALLY serves an advisory role. The only time...

Not having the hardware to read the 5.5 or 3.25" disks its saved no (nor the software to open it)...

When I first looked into places to submit serial fiction, they were recommended with a caveat that the site was geared more for webtoons and manga, and was trying to be welcoming to other forms of fiction but those were still predominant. They also had some stuff in the Terms of Service that led...

Unless you have powerful psykers/espers/psionicists (i.e. "mental bull****tery") or gates (time-space wankery) of some sort. And then, of course, you can have it ALL, bull****ery-wise, by following the television example of the Stargate franchise (the Stargates allow travel between worlds at...

Does this romanticize suicide (it was the theme song to a successful movie that inspired one of the most successful sitcoms of all time)? IIRC, the song without the "callbacks" and without the last verse plays over the opening credits, midway through the song, one of the actors sings the first...

That's pretty much what annoyed me - one simple word is the issue. Otherwise, we HAVE been pretty much saying the same thing.

I remember hearing some of the speeches given at the death of "the last true journalism professor in the United States" - the one that stood out was: "I will always remember the advice he gave me about bias - 'When you finish [an article], re-read it. If you agree with every single word there...

35? Heh... don't check out my stories on Pocket FM then... Have a vague general shape in mind but then, with one I keep adding in little "beats" to make it feel more like a game world (and pad the word count, too), with the overall story just looming in the background (should wrap up around...

"Toddler" generally refers to a child who has started walking but not quite mastered it yet, so they "toddle along" - usually this is about six months between the first and second birthdays but some start earlier, some take longer to grow out of it.

"I am under a curse, sir. I can only kiss frogs. Where's your dad?"

I found calculus easier to read than The Worm Ouroboros...

No, they are quite different. The whole "idiot savant" concept is proof - people who are absolute geniuses in one or two areas, but functional morons in every other area. Stupid implies an inability to learn, whether or not they've had an opportunity (i.e. they may be organically or willfully...
