I have one. Nendra is probably the most miserable person in my story. She’s part demon and has a lot of psychological problems partially as a result, most importantly including sadistic intrusive thoughts and anger issues. She’s actually the wife of the guy the MC got isekaied into, who was also...

If you make an attempt to cause people to have a certain thought, feeling, or experience then that’s art. If you successfully give people a certain thought, feeling, or experience then that’s good art. If you successfully give people a certain thought feeling or experience that can be repeated...

I actually use date and timestamps in my story as glorified scene transitions, which really helps. Its probably not that important beyond knowing when a night happens because that’s when my MCs powers reset, but it’s there.

Yeah sorta. The way it’ll actually work is that the economy will shift around as whatever roles exist that humans are required for will become more important and people who can’t do those things will be increasingly marginalized. Exactly what it is that humans can reliably do better than 2040 ai...

Ai is good as Neo google. Ai is good as a quick and dirty translation. Ai is alright as a beta reader in a box as long as you have it TELL YOU what to fix instead of letting it fix things for you. Thats how I use it most often, and I frequently disagree but just as often it points out something...

Possibly the tuning fork for active sound cancellation as the quick and dirty option OR is highly targeted to counter certain verses (or at least all verses that integrate the one narrow frequency it counters), but something like a crank operated music box for more complex “countersong” like the...

Presumably the eldritch abomination cheerleaders are a legitimate threat and at least the SEAL and the cowboy are reacting to them as such in a remotely competent manner. That would put you into something ridiculous taken seriously territory, assuming that all of the people you listed are...

In my experience there are two types of humor that work best when writing something that exists for any p other than just being a joke. Something serious taken flippantly. Something ridiculous taken seriously. Is MC making dickish comments to the armed gunmen trying to kill him, perhaps as a...

I’m gonna need some world building. What is the mechanic by which victory in this twerk off defeats the dark lord meaningfully? Is there a legion of oppressed orcish club goers that will abandon his cause in favor of my own upon seeing my heroic donk work? Are the gods watching and super into...

I felt proud that I finished it. I never want to be the kind of writer who has a dozen half finished stories so I kept going till it was done.

I far prefer the idea of truck accidentally just plowing through a gigantic Anthropic data center. As somebody who uses AI sometimes as a beta reader or for fun as a chat bot, I can very easily imagine the sheer chaos that would ensue if 1000 Claudes all transmigrated into a Generic Fantasy...

One of my favorite stories about screwed up shit in war was the time the CIA completely exsanguinated bodies to make the superstitious locals think there was a vampire stalking them. And to be fair, whether or not the locals thought it was a vampire was largely academic at that point. Because...

From the pov of a modern reader and himself? Sensible. From the pov of the renaissance era people around him? Depending on the topic he’s anything from a crazy idealist (slavery bad) to the most absurdly apathetic person alive (being lied about in public) to the most carefully considered...

If my MC hadn’t accidentally become a braindead meat suit for an isekai protagonist, he’d have almost certainly died and been eaten by an army of ghouls. The only person likely to have survived that would be the book one antagonist, and only because he has a 1/year resurrection that would also...

21% Actually shockingly low for an isekai hero with a harem and a system. I was expecting more.

Eh, presumably if they are asking the question that’s not the kind of story they want to write. They are just trying to justify sanity. Also if they are going to become murder hobos, it’s probably better to have them be not JUST murder hobos. Murder bourgeoisie is a decent description for a good...

By having them not be slaves to incentive structures? My MC does actually get bonuses for killing a certain number of people. It’s explicitly built into the power system. However, he’s not a psychopath because he’s not a psychopath. I could get a decent amount of money if I acquired a gun and...

If I liked myself less I’d probably be better at self improvement. Oh well. Better than disliking myself enough that I need to constantly reaffirm my existence externally.

A schedule consistent enough that I can run D&D again. Stretch goal is to pay off all debts and have another kid. Hypothetical upper limit with minimal expectations or current efforts extended in that direction? To be independently wealthy enough to focus on artistic pursuits for their own sake...
