    Solo leveling hot takes

    Solo Leveling is basically Edgy Dark Minion User Magician Who Also Is A Stealthy Assassin #137896. One more to the pile of dysfunctional korean social hierarchy stories that grow like weeds wherever you look. It's a "JUNIOR! DO YOU DARE COURT DEATH?!" but with different honorary suffixes and...

    Are RR users toleration levels really as bad as people say?

    I'd say it's less the readers and more the moderation team. There's lots of shadowbanning over there afaik, and the rules are slightly stricter than SH.

    Was the origin of half of all Isekai plots hiding right under our noses?

    You moved the goal post. Opinion rejected. Narnia 100% qualifies as a Demon King isekai. FF1 doesn't say how the heroes arrived, does it? Taxi? Uber? Skateboard? Did they fart themselves into existence? Narnia had the prophecy that human children would save Narnia from a great evil, and Aslan...

    Finding the Right Balance of litRPG Elements

    Charisma is incredibly problematic in LitRPG to balance, since the one with the most of it becomes a country leader, cult leader, dictator, scam artist, serial criminal of the uncivilized kind, or worse. Giving such vague stuff a concrete value to increase or decrease at will at the detriment of...

    Finding the Right Balance of litRPG Elements

    LitRPG and GameLIT are vastly different, tho. My novel is high fantasy with a hard magic system that exists as part of nature, so it can't be exploited by a rando as you would a system full of holes like DnD or similar. It's simplistic enough for everyone with iq higher than room temperature to...

    I Need Advice on Creating a Mental World

    Like previous comment said, make it look like an amusement park, or disneyland, where every time one of the characters wander off course to 'see behind the curtain', the "mascots" distract them and take them back to the preestablished course for 'visitors', stating that only the staff can enter...

    Magic Beasts vs. Spirit Beasts vs. Demon Beasts vs. Quantum Beasts vs. Soul beasts vs. Familiars?

    You decide, or the author decides. These things do not exist in reality so it's up to the one writing what they are within the frame of what has been previously established. If there's no word for what you want to make, create it.

    Mages, Coups and Revolutions

    lmao, imagine assuming abusive capitalist regimes in other-world magical fantasy because you can't think of a different big bad. Imagine being unable to think of a good sociopolitical system in a ficticious world, but that would mean not being able to shove your own sociopolitical views on the...

    Not op stat system

    So you can cure ADHD and the like with stats? Why make stats affect the mind? Anyone would optimize it and publish the results if they have high intelligence because they would become altruistic at some point. There is a huge plothole on your system. If those above aren't driven by cutthroat...

    Unpopular Anime Opinions

    The thingis that they're selling a product, so it's in the consumer's power to criticize said product. If you sell me a story about a grooming pdphle then expect the story to get shit on for what it is instead of defending it with "if you can't handle rudeus you shouldn't watch". Like... That's...

    Question about gunpowder weapon's in mediaval setting.

    Simple, don't go for guns. You are creating a problem you don't have a solution for. Make only 1 gun come out of an entire mine due to material incompatibility (maybe gunpowder corrodes steel so shooting once would destroy the gun. this would make it a last resource tool)

    Regarding eccentric best friend characters

    basically this: all of those little things they do come across as distractions from their own issues. If you've watched Nisekoi, Shuu Maiko is this type of character. Silly when in school with out of pocket behavior/commentary that, when put under the magnifier, show a not-so-happy origin or...

    What are your least favorite type of main characters?

    Beta incel mc's whose only way of socializing with the opposite sex is to gaslight, manipulate, and trap them into a relationship where only they have 'power', then gaslight them again into thinking they're the only good person in the world that will care about them. Overly naive and childish...
