    How much do you like authors to explain their main character's specialness?

    So, I was reading a story where the MC was told he couldn't cultivate but was able to do so anyway, without any real explanation at all. Presumably, it's from having a strong will or something, but they didn't actually say that, or explain why his will would be especially strong. What are your...

    Have you had satisfactory romantic relationships in life?

    I’ve been in two relationships, both only lasted a month and neither was satisfactory. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise since I’ve only asked 4 people out in my life, ironically none of which were the people I dated, but anyway, that kind of thing is anxiety-inducing, and I’ve only...

    If your brain were split in half, with each half getting its own body, which would be you?

    Given that people have survived with half their brain, if half your brain was removed from your body with you surviving and it was successfully implanted in a clone body it then controls, which would be you? If further clarity is needed, the end result is two bodies, each being controlled by...

    So what tropes that you know that actually happen in the real world. (Edited for clarity)

    Nope, I haven't faced as much danger as some, like Trump. It's hard to judge risk precisely from anecdotes, but I have experienced a few close calls, like a car accident and almost slipping into a deep pit in the wilderness. There is a certain amount of selection bias in the subject. If you...

    Where would you pick if you could take a month-long vacation in one of these places?

    Let's say it doesn't. Anyway, I didn't even think of time paradoxes, and stuff like that, when writing this. ? :blobthumbsup:I'd also really like to see what the past was like. I mean, we have so few documents and other evidence for so much of it. It would be really interesting to know what...

    Where would you pick if you could take a month-long vacation in one of these places?

    You're using a clone body of your choice so you can look however you like, but I'd suggest choosing to look like the locals of wherever you choose. Of course, it's just a clone body, so maybe you'd want to be more daring. Anyways, I guess I didn't describe things clearly enough. Also, not all...

    How much real-world science from things like biology physics and chemistry should be brought into fantasy worlds?

    Should everything we know about reality be valid in fantasy settings? For example, should everything be made from the same atoms on our periodic table, and should chemistry work the same way? Should Newtonian physics work the same way? Should the conservation laws, such as the law of...

    What are your some of the most hated tropes?

    I'm not a big fan of 'regreter' as I call it. Characters who come to regret turning the MC down. it's fine when the author doesn't make a big deal about it, but when you have multiple chapter worth of writing describing the regerter regretting, I don't enjoy it. I don't like it when MCs are...

    What do you consider as harem?

    There doesn't seem to be a hard definition for any of this, so I'll just give my opinion. Harem: A mutually acknowledged relationship between one person and at least two other people at the same time. Pseudo-harem: Multiple people liking one person at the same time.

    What did you learn today?

    A healthy horse can produce significantly more than 1 horsepower for short bursts. Studies and anecdotal data suggest with a sprint or jump, a horse can generate up to 10–15 horsepower during intense, short efforts (e.g., a gallop or pulling a heavy load briefly). This is based on calculations...

    How do you write Xuanhuan?

    Xianxia tries to stick more traditional Chinese fantasy and cultural elements. Xuanhuan branches out more and can be whatever the author wants and/or thinks will be popular.

    What’s your preferred MC gender?

    So what’s your preference? I mostly read stories with male main characters, but not 100% that way.

    You could also have a world without night. That might be interesting.

    Cosmology Idea discussion.

    How about the sun is in the middle of the bubble, and it's orbited by a giant planet that people call the moon, and when the moon eclipses the sun, it's night.
