    Is anyone going to adapt their dnd campaign into a novel?

    Goblin Slayer is the chief example of this in our times, I think. Its worldbuilding basically amounts to "because the gods (players) said so", and there are bizarre, rigid systems that serve no narrative or practical purpose whatsoever, like spells being limited in number per day, classes, no...

    Why do most Jp and Kr (and some Cn) Mcs look the same

    My biggest rage-buttons on modern comics are the infuriatingly normal JP guy with dark hair and dark eyes, and the Korean two-block bowl cut who min-maxes his life. I know it's the trend and it's what sells, but it makes me want to pick up a buzz cutter for both of them. I don't even read...

    What’s your take on nationalism in novels?

    You're assuming that nationalism is a rational reflection of a nation's strength instead of human nature. Might want to be careful with that in these sorts of discussions in other forums, with actual people from those countries instead of immigrants and other foreigners. Ah, but you did say...

    Harem or No Harem Team?

    For harem for me. I've never seen it done well and I refuse to believe it's because of the concept itself, but because main characters are rarely ever chads, and if they are, they aren't explored and developed enough. No idea about reverse-harems. Never read 'em.

    How do you all feel about the Isekai trends the makes every season now have at least 2-3 isekai anime?

    Short-term: Until another wish-fulfillment trend takes its place. Long-term: Until animator and studio wages, workloads, costs and sales numbers align on a level that is hospitable to good art, same as the film industry. Until then, enjoy your isekai harems, villainesses and fanservice bloat. I...

    How do y’all feel about smut novels?

    Awe-inspiring when done well. As cringe as actually bad stories when done even passably.

    Do you find her creepy?

    It's like someone took an exceedingly ordinary looking woman and very slightly warped her face.

    Authors ruining their stories with terrible romance

    Not to interrupt a thankfully civil discussion, but I feel it's best to make a separate thread on General Chat for this considering we've pretty much completely derailed from the OP's subject. I know the mods here don't have the time and resources to put their foot down on it, so we might as...

    This happens to me between the molars way back deep inside, and it's always a painful bitch to get it out.

    What songs are you listening to?

    Thanks for the recs. The last is definitely up my alley. I manage to dig up a couple of K-idol songs I like, and there was one Big Bang song and two Red Velvet songs: Also a song I fell in love immediately with back when I watched John Wick for the first time. Always good for when I want to...

    What songs are you listening to?

    Sounds very cafe-y, mainstream heartthrob song. I found that tends to be most Korean songs during my search, though. Nothing against it, my tastes are just really fickle for the most part.

    Been searching for non-idol Korean songs, and was pleasantly surprised to find this gem.

    Authors ruining their stories with terrible romance

    I'd say it's far too early for any unbiased survey on trans population percentage. The current culture more or less sings it as a virtue, and it's become part of the main holy script across most feminist churches with exceptions like TERFs. When the gender war ceases and the lack of propaganda...
