    Aaaa. Thank you all, I wasn't online to see at the time.

    Editing Why does this keep happening?

    Many platforms do not support Shift+Enter, which moves the text to the next line but is treated as the same paragraph. I believe it's interpreted as regular Enter and moved to the next paragraph. Edit: Actually, I just checked and Scribble does support this. Might be there's an issue with...

    A thread to my friends.

    :blob_salute: Feels kinda bittersweet. It was fun talking to you, the few times we did.

    Male protagonists or female protagonists: which one do you prefer?

    In principle, I have nothing against either; it's all about how the character is written. From the stories I've read though, I've found I statically dislike male characters more often than female characters, usually due to their behavior.

    Which is more unbearable to read, hidden dragon or three minute ultraman?

    Personally I think the latter is much worse. The hidden dragon is alright to me in most stories I've read up to the point where the main character starts to be attacked by young masters and obnoxious adventurers every second step. There's a lot of stories where the main character just doesn't...

    Why does modern military firepower not work against monsters and other BS reasonings.

    In theory, this is an interesting choice that allows to ignore some issues with the modern weaponry. In practice, the execution usually leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest issue I see with many of those stories is that the delivery method somehow matters. Modern artillery and bombs will be...

    Do you mind real life physics when you create a "fantasy" world

    Various fantastical elements can have such a massive impact on many elements of reality that being the same as our own is actually the unlikely option. Things like climate can change massively with very small changes to the world, not to mention that a massive part of our climate is based solely...

    Writing The Art of Silence

    Silence can be used in a lot of situations. When someone's so pissed off they stop speaking, or when romantic tension, or when there's any other kind of tension such as when characters reunite, or when characters witness something extraordinary. Spelling things out does often help convey...

    How do you rate your own writing?

    The stories I published, maybe 5 or 6? Hard to say from my own perspective. I would have definitely given myself a better rating some year or two ago, but I have improved a lot since.

    Being a picky gamer, is it related to country?

    I'll be honest, I don't even know which are ported and which aren't. I just never paid much attention to the big titles, and given I don't play on console I don't know the smaller titles either. So it's not that I avoid them, more that I just don't really care. I can tell you I haven't played...

    Being a picky gamer, is it related to country?

    It is definitely shaped by environment both for individual people and collectively, and those are heavily interconnected. I have literally never played on a console until I went over to a cousin in North America on a holiday, and I honestly don't remember if I've ever heard anyone talk about...

    What are your honest thoughts on harem stories?

    In principle, I do not mind harem. However, the vast majority of stories featuring it portray harem in ways that I don't like from a personal standpoint and/or that don't make much sense from a logical perspective. I did enjoy some, and as a rule of thumb they attempted a realistic depiction.

    MC who starts human and then becomes nonhuman?

    In practice this will obviously heavily depend on execution, but in principle I have nothing against that. The shift in perspective will always be there, but it's not like it's inherently a bad thing. Any significant plot event, especially those that affect the world of the story, may have very...

    Philosophical question?

    Personally, I prefer to just distinguish objective truth from perceived truth. The issue with this is that, if we really want to dig deep into this topic, we need to start earlier at perception and subjectivity, and the only logical conclusion there is that, if there is any objective truth in...

    POV questions for everyone.

    1. POV (done correctly) is the limit we impose on the information that can be known to the reader. I prefer to distinguish more types than just three (for example omniscient / limited knowledge, or dynamic / stationary, especially applicable to the 3rd POV), but there are plenty of differences...
