Bleh, I picked up a new space opera but dropped it about 70% because instead of characters they had names that just did whatever to jarringly set up the next plot twist.
As someone who had to balance games before, it annoys me so much to see multipliers in LITRPGs. They are so game breaking. 10% to this, 2x to that and all of the sudden getting +1 to something can become double powered. Luckily very few authors have the guts to run the math for their damage numbers so we don't get to see math itself smite them for their poor system.
Heard an interesting BBC thing where a professor submitted a bunch of articles supporting woke culture for peer review with purposely fake data. Most of them didn't get rejected but someone flagged him for plagiarizing mein kamph and not crediting it.
Idea for webnovel: MC gets sent to another world as a regular human. However, MC is also a bowl of judgement for the apocalypse. So any wrong done to the MC gets divine judgement. Stealing from them brings poverty, stabbing them brings injury, capturing them brings slavery, them starving brings famine to the lands.
In soviet russia, to use the bathroom you have to take 2 things: A toilet seat and a newspaper. To wipe, you crumple up the news paper, however it is important to make sure not to use the part that has a picture of Stalin on it.
