    Yeah, being nice and kind absolutely won't make you successful. There's a saying about kindness that being kind to others is being cruel to yourself and those who support you and it's absolutely true. Being kind is an irrational choice that doesn't help you... but it's not dumb. It's...

    Fellas...

    It depends on the reaction of said person on finding out. The simple route is if they no longer like the person, then the answer is no, they're not gay. They were attracted to someone they perceived as female, hence they're attracted to females and are as such not gay. Where things get...

    Strongest Systems

    I mean, the most useful kind of depends on the setting, but I'd say it's the ones that do everything from the protagonist. You know, like a op daily reward system, or ones that multiplie power by a hundred just because, evolves beasts automatically, gives exact instructions on what to do to get...

    How strong is a treant?

    I'd say upper bottom rank for the weakest, just based on size, and upper top rank for the strongest. The difference in treant strength is usually due to age, and trees can live for a long time, so that's why I think upper top rank should be the cap.

    Any ideas you know you are never going to touch?

    I thought about writing one with a game world similar to Legendary Moonlight Sculptor with a protagonist who takes the alchemist class and comes up with all sorts of crazy artifacts and bombs to chuck at people. Then I kinda got tired of the whole virtual reality game thing and just forgot about it.

    Why Cultivation xianxia MC tends to avoid women like plague ?

    It's not really about the woman specifically, it's more mechanical. A lot of Cultivator novels focus on an mc with an insane cheat or growth rate, so it feels unnatural to have the friends and family the mc meet along the way stay relevant for extended periods. Monster integration tries to do...

    What is your favorite type of villain, and why?

    I like pretty much all villain types so long as they're done well, but I think my favorite has to be magnificent bastards. They're just so entertaining.

    Writing Hope vs Destruction

    Frankly, if the casualty rate is already 70% you don't need to increase it any further. That's already a hard fought battle. Just focus a bit more on those who passed away in the following chapters to show this is a somber moment and not simply a huge victory. If it comes off as a hope prevails...

    I need a list of genres and the worst tropes from them

    Sci fi/fantasy Idk if it has a name, but I hate when clones or alternate selfs replace dead love interests. It always annoys the hell out of me.

    What are your thoughts on the fantasy isekai genre nowadays?

    A lot of them feel like they have no idea why they're an isekai. A lot of them could just be fantasy stories with how little the isekai aspect affect the plot. Also a lot of them really struggle with coming up for a reason for the cheat. It's often not earned and the mc is just hand held the...

    Stories you just get addicted to.

    All the time. One piece, gash bell, Harry Potter, percy Jackson, sevens, cultivation Chat group... all these and more I pretty much did what you did. I'm the type to get fully sucked in easily and do nothing else but read as far as I can help it.

    Boycott LitRPG, throw me some old school fantasy,

    One piece, Sevens, Destroyer of ice and fire, and Madan no ou to Vanadis. They're the first ones that come to mind.

    How to gain traffic for your stories | Does Scribblehub have its own preferred "Niche"?

    I've only been posting stuff for three months, but from my observations there's usually a couple reasons for something to have a ton of views without much being there. 1 is time, if it's been on the site a whule it'll have mote views than you'd think even with no uploads. 2 is smut, smut is very...

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    Yes, by definition he is a pedophile, as the word only means someone who's sexually attracted to kids. That doesn't make them a bad person though. The issue with the word pedophile is that it often gets roped in with child rapist, and rape is always bad. He was a pedophile, but he wasn't a rapist.
