    What is the game you have played the most?

    People will shit on me for this, I'm sure. :blob_cookie: Genshin Impact and Dead by Daylight.

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    That's like there's a story hidden there, even though I'm guessing you just stopped being interested in it. :blob_cookie: Still kinda sad, though. Have a cookie. 🍪

    I think I get isekai now (warning: navel-gazing ahead)

    Ah, well, I mean, fair enough. Again, it could be true for some people, but I do know a lot who are just in it for certain tropes. And a lot of them are power fantasy types ("random Joe get Isekai'd and gains superpowers that may destroy the whole universe for no reason whatsoever" fits that...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Indeed. A lot of people don't think much of it, but if you actually paid for something, you criticism gets a lot harsher. :blob_popcorn_two: Like, just check out Amazon, for god's sake. Depending on what you're looking for, it's a fucking battlefield. And I love it. :blob_cookie: Request...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Right now? "Aggressive and confrontational" is what I'm being on purpose. Did you fail to realize that? No, we definitely agree to disagree, but you came in, accusing people of some sort of disrespect, while likely not even actually reading the story - which is, funnily enough, what you claimed...

    I think I get isekai now (warning: navel-gazing ahead)

    As someone who reads a lot of Transmigration (and finally ended up writing one) types of Isekai, basically the Korean style of it, I wouldn't say that is my reason for reading them. A lot of timmes, it's about the power fantasy - other times, it's just about the subversion of expectations with...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Right, because it takes me thousands of words to simply say "You're shit - go kick rocks, or something." Sure. So yes, my reviews are long. But they are not cruel. If they were, they would be really, really, reallly short and very easy to read. Did you even read the actual post? I know it's...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Yes, so after reading two stories, that's the feeling we came to, after skimming over another. And no, I do not plan to actually read or review it. But as she wanted me to look at the other, I felt compelled to do so, believing it could be better. As you saw, one of her issues was keeping in...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    What I was doing? I was quoting parts of relevance to give her examples, told her what she did well and didn't do so well, how her characters reflect on their original character. For example (it was a FanFiction): You have a character who has a more arrogant and not very people-pleasing nature...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    The thing is: I ranted this down from the perspective of a reader, but I'm also a writer. And it simply won't ever be logical to me, how these things happen - even if it's brutal; even if you don't want to change anything, it's at least the opinion of one person and that person might have...

    Hello Japan!

    I thought they were meant to be ears. :blob_hmm:

    Does this look inviting!

    That is one ugly ass piece of Typography. Somebody needs to get sued for that. :blob_popcorn_two: What's which that jaundiced color scheme? It needs overall some color correcting and a better typo, if you want it to be inviting to anyone. :blob_hmm::blob_cookie:

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Good evening, my Dearly Beloved, or whoever stumbled in to find a reason for drinking bleach, I'd say I've been a reader in recent years to only few stories online, of which all of them were Webtoons. The only exception was a FanFiction I read with a friend of mine - we often read stories...

    Hello Japan!

    I mean, what @Dec is likely true, but take that from a cynic. Still, it's someone who read the story either way, no matter where they came from. So congratz. :blob_cookie:

    Readers are Hiding From Authors

    I already found it hard to do threads like "I have a new chapter" in the corresponding category of the Forum. :blob_blank: Are you serious? This is like the old "Can I copy your homework, Jim?" but on another level. :blob_cookie:

    Do you listen to music when writing?

    I mean, you frame that as if one can answer that for you - I don't know if listening to music will help you. But I do know it helps me sometimes - and sometimes it doesn't. If the song is too catchy in the moment, it might just distract me; if the atmosphere doesn't 100 % fit the scene, it can...

    Writing Fictional race/ethnicities in story vs real-life counterparts

    To be honest, this sensitivity you speak of is poison to creative writing. Just make it make sense. If your world works the way ours does, make it make sense what people look like. If there is no possibility of safe and fast travel, don't pretend that everyone can be anywhere, as if...

    I just posted my first series!

    I feel like this thread doesn't belong here. @Eldoria, am I trippin'? :blob_cookie:
