    The movies of Hollywood and Disney.

    Is like the despotism of "dragon country" 10years ago.

    From famous chinese movies being globally famous (shaolin soccer), to anonymity because 2nd rich generations (like hollywood rn) began to put money in it to force "actresses" (vases/mistresses) just to "gild" them. Or bc the girls asked, or bc themselves wanted to fk/marry a famous person and a random low-tier actress.

    Sigh......

    Chin@ is basically. A (earlier) mirror.
    To what is currently experiencing america.



    I found it a little pitiful/saddening, seeing that in Chin@ in novels years ago. But now seeing it happens to america, just leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    Like, pick any singer/urban novel of the past, you could see the same phenomenon that is currently experiencing america.
    And i dubiously think its TikTok fault, that acted like a Horse of Troie virus.

    Only good news.
    Didnt hear nor see, the phenomenon of stars inviting "fans" privately, like the east did.

    ... the MC caused a dragon to go berserk after eating its fetus raw (crack the egg and suckle it) and ran, the first thing as he heard about the aftermath (tons of people in the mountain died) was "oh thank god, it's someone else's problem."

    Also, a supposed rival of MC died, less than a sentence the story described.

    "And XXX died."

    "Is it?" MC proceeded to not care.

    Fyi, XXX was a snob who stole MC's elixir by claiming his importance above him, then got angry at MC for not thanking him as he threw to MC remaining droplets of said elixir like scraps to a dog.

    So MC wanted to kill him.

    From how the story went, it was set up as such.

    Then bam, dead in three words.

    His death/author-skills, is as cringe as entertainment-movie-maker CNs with shitty author that doesnt even write the reactions of the viewers to his movies.

    I fking hate, (to the category lvl of : wanting to slap), authors that build expectations, only to fking fail to write it.

    Feeling kind of dumb when understanding the concept of sensory deprivation.

    Apparently, all you need is just deprive sight and sound and it is already consider sensory deprivation. Going any further for smell, taste and touch is overkill.

    Reverse outfit...

    Two examples are bunny girl and bikini armor.

    If bunny girl is a woman wearing a one piece strapless swimsuit, then reverse bunny girl is her wearing a long sleeved t-shirt that is cut off below her collarbone and crotchless leggings, leaving her breasts and nether bare.

    I remember it was a backless sweater, and I remember some art that put backless part in front. Can we consider it a reverse outfit?

    Is Virgin killer a reverse outfit... I don't think so.

    Because a sweater is covering the entire torso. A backless sweater merely exposes the back.

    Though it does fail as a sweater cuz the skin it fails to cover.

    Warhammer 40k's chaos gods are so fucking popular.

    This is my eighth chinese work seeing them jumping up and down.

    And the best part is that they are always used as templates for evil gods. No exception in Cthulhu style, xianxia taoist style and obviously, xuanhuan/ western style in chinese.

    Ano~ Half devil advocate here.

    1) Its like Yang Mi in urban CNs. Or its skills issue or they found its the ez way out (tired to see Yang Mi cameo)
    2) It sure works. Like 3rd Hokage being re-used nonstop as the villain. So they lazy
    3) Others used, would means, higher risks and/or knowing the sauce
    So unless of being hardcore fan (like the author of MageFriends that told he is hc of DnD) they likely dont know others

    oh.

    Understand.
    Its "too clean".

    Gaming logic : Monster should be blurred/cant be seen.

    Here, you see TOO CLEARLY the teeth. he could even do a toothpaste ad or looks like a statue.
    Manhwa, readers dont KNOW anything of him, if demon/devil/monster/god/subordinate of demongod/???/golem/etc = unknown = scary.

    Yep. But was focusing the reason of : The anime not hitting (as much?) as the manhwa.

    I mean.
    If manhwa is like a giant cement truck rushing at 300km/h with a giant honk that is deafening, in a deserted alley.
    The anime (screenshot) is like a 160km/h, with a sparkling-clean white moving truck, with a highpitch honk. Its scary but like -70% compared to (1).

    So Return of 8th class Mage intro-ed me the concept of mana heart and mana brain.

    The heart is the generator and the brain the processor.

    And since they are literally two of the three dantians, I was thinking what to put the Root (lower) dantian as, mana stomach? Mana furnace? (This sounds more like for the heart cuz "heart burns")

    Also the stomach is not exactly used for mana, at least unlike taoist cultivation

    I don't think I reached that far yet, still I enjoyed the system in it, but I can't see myself write something like this.

    Oops sorry for spoiler.

    Also I think due to the bulk of it, Legion20 (the author) got shafted by his own core system and kept on intro-ed new elements other than the standard fire, water, earth, wind, light n dark.

    I don't mind the spoiler. But yeah I can see his system becoming too much "dense" that it become a burden.

    Saw a short on why Supe never go Gotham and clear the villains.

    Because Batman needs these villains for character development.

    I pity the folks in Gotham.

    Oh good, for one second I thot everyone was in opposite day in xianxia land.

    Not only was MC cheated for his reward (granted he got compensated, albeit poorly he can't complain. He literally can't because he will die), but fuckers who saw that he is going to level up now want him dead, just because crab mentality.

    And here I thot I read a non-CN all of a sudden, thank god that isn't true.
    NotaNuffian
    Dammit dammit dammit.

    I really am at cusp of dropping.

    Work hooked me initially with MC went Brrr kill kill kill at first half when he was mortal human.

    Then now he sucks air and on path to immortal, he also sucks ass.

    Hate hate hate hate.

    I am very fucking confused. Due to the story being way too long to update, there are some human relations that are muddled in my head.

    For instance, I thought that guy A knew that MC is his long lost cousin because MC knows that guy A is his long lost cousin, but somehow in the latest chp a paragraph just says guy A does not know that MC is his long lost cousin.

    I have been seeing this chinese phrase a lot recently, especially within a year.

    "When you are weak and pathetic, everyone around you is an evil bully. When you are strong and powerful, everyone around you is a nice helper."

    Put it bluntly, when you can't hit back, everyone wants to step on you, even for lulz. When you can kill, everyone sees you as a hazard to be treated with care.

    I just stopped after some arc.

    I understand greed is involved, that is always how the CN MCs face their enemies plus pride (because they think that they are God's chosen/ MC of the story lol).

    Nice to see the Chinese still have yet to discover what altruism is.

    People can behave kind towards one another without needing to leverage a power dynamic, anyone who believes otherwise is a unsavory person.

    Tell that to most, if not all chinese characters I read.

    Also, I don't know why, but when MC does some kind things to others ie give the poor food/ money, help prevent a calamity etc, I always feel a sense of fakeness, especially when the voices of onlookers are involved.

    "Look, he saved us, he is a hero who would exert himself!" -The peanut group.

    While MC is barely straining his pinky.
