Hahaha! Someone was left speechless!

Brick by brick, I'm dismantling the wall of your so-called resistance to "being called cute", and this makes you even more extremely cute!

Because you are the C-U-T-E-S-T.
I didn't lie. I do have +9999% resistance against being called cute! It just seems that you've gained the ability to bypass my resistance
Actually, I feel a deep envy; despite the cringe, I would really love to reread my first stories and maybe rework some ideas that I was particularly attached to. I wrote quite a few with pen and paper, along with terrible rap songs.
(Un)luckily I already had a laptop by the time I decided to try writing novels. Though if my doodles and poetry from high school are anything to go by... I have no desire to go read those.
Writing manually is enjoyable, but technology is an incomparable convenience that multiplies productivity a million times. I would never, ever write on paper now.
I'm considering writing on paper sometimes. I tried it partially with a chapter I'm writing for SHHS and I got a lot done. It's a lot easier to focus when you don't have access to the entirety of the internet. Then I could just transcribe it on my laptop. Though I'll probably only do that for stories that don't require any research.
Don't trust external hard drives completely; I've lost quite a few precious files when one of these fragile technological objects met the cold floor from a moderate height.
Strangely enough, I'm very careful with those. I still have a USB with files from... 2007. Compared to my phones, which have a lifespan of about 4 years before the motherboard spontaneously combusts or it just decides it doesn't want to be pleasant to use anymore. I lost a few writing notes from those, but I don't really regret it that much.
All due to a moment of carelessness. Fortunately, we now have the cloud.
I'm glad that death isn't part of your plans. I want you very much alive. Are you on board with transhumanism plan?
I'm a fan of Futurism, I'll probably be one of the first ones to die in an unethical human experiment gone wrong.
We could add these pearls of wisdom to Sun Tzu's The Art of War, and no one would notice. In fact, I think, contextualized, they are probably his concepts. I love when you're so ruthless, and I'm glad not to have you as an enemy.
*grabs copy of Art of War*
Chapter 3 14. "Hence the skillful fighter puts himself in a position which makes defeat impossible, and does not miss the moment for defeating the enemy."
It is one of his concepts.

I just borrowed the quote from a military veteran. Another of my favorites is "If brute force isn't working, you aren't using enough of it."
As you say, sometimes things can go horribly wrong. We can't predict everything that will happen, or maybe we made a mistake.
And that's when the fun begins, when everything is against you.
Curbstomps are sound and logical, but those usually aren't as interesting theatrically. It's also the exceptions that tend to resound in history the most.
These are legitimate and terrifying fears, especially because they are far more realistic than any horror. Poverty is a terrible condition of existence, and most of us do everything to avoid it. Being robbed in your own home is a violence that leaves deep marks on the mind and soul, especially when you are powerless.
In any case, the unknown can take many forms, including not knowing if you'll make it home today.
That's what I'm thinking, the unknown could totally just be fear of the known, just with added uncertainty.
It might not be convenient, but I think your method is right. With gacha games, it's important to set limits and not fall for their predatory tactics. After all, they are designed specifically to exploit our psychology.
It's the case for games with In-app purchases in general

, I learned to set a monthly spending limit after sinking too much money on a mobile game that I didn't play for that long anyways.
Avoid "Falling Petals" noted!
You shouldn't even be able to get that pack... but I'm just warning you in case the devs decided to be extra sadistic this season. I swear they keep making it harder every time...

You had already mentioned it to me, and I missed that it was an h-game.
Yeah, I was planning on holding my tongue but I already mentioned that I knew about it multiple times anyways... I even used one of the characters as a pfp
If we're all on Smuthub, there's a reason for it.

Don't be embarrassed, I will accept everything about you. I won't judge you, and knowing that you appreciate certain types of content makes you even more interesting.

I didn't think you had such tastes...
To be honest, torture porn aside, it's probably my favorite story involving Lovecraftian anime girls. They actually nail the "eldritch deities wearing human skin" instead of psychotic yanderes with godly powers. The goal of the Outer Gods is to understand human emotions in order to create things, but the way they go about it is methodical, to the point it feels like cruelty to those inside the Gardens. But to them it's all just a "play", although some get too absorbed in their roles and forget their original identity.
Well, except for one of them, that one has made it her life goal to inflict as much pain and misery to others as possible and is 100% self aware of how sadistic she is and revels in it. Worst part is that she's probably the closest to understanding humans... which is unsettling.
Truly one of my role models as an author
Therefore, I can say that I am absolved of the horni, because I have played the game for plot.
I've seen the game and it has some rather unique mechanics... I've added it to my list of things to try.
I'm a bit worried the content might be too unsettling for you, but seeing what you're writing on main, you'll be fine.
I am good with resolutions, but less good at implementing them.
Aren't we all?
Here's a useful reference:
I can get you the DNA samples and lend you the Shizuki clone factory, I have some connections...
I'm grateful for the help, but where did you get these connections? Isn't Shizuki a hero?
It's half of my writer's motto. The other is "This character is too precious and I will allow absolutely nothing bad to happen to him/her"
Why yes, I do love all my children equally
Succubi have to work very hard with Ssemouy.
Context, please. Context.
Why choose when you can have both?
A large, thick daikon first, and then sweet chocolate. Before and after. Or together.
Why does this seem like it's going in a very unideal direction
