Definitely needs setup. I’ve read a series that did this multiple times, actually. The MC had powers strongly oriented around souls and the manipulation thereof, so body hopping felt plausible. It was also a story with major themes of growth, self discovery, and introspection, so the change fed...

There are points at which one’s crimes overshadow anything good done in life, which are so great as to make appreciation of someone’s work (either “good works” or just being entertaining) kinda absurd. For me, that’s a pretty high bar. Somewhere above non-contact sexual harassment and below...

That’s the fun thing. I do resist the temptation, and have for a long while. This is more for venting purposes than anything else lol

I have a huge amount of difficulty resisting the urge to just burn through my buffer and release everything I’ve written. This even though access to my buffer is basically the entire benefit of being on my patreon. The dopamine I get from releasing a new chapter and getting even one comment...

Counterplay is also a thing to keep in mind. Elemental weaknesses/resistances is a thing, but tends to be a little simplistic. Figure out what exactly your characters do that make them most effective, and assume that other characters that know about them will come up with counters. If they...

In my experience, changing PoV from first to third works best if you’re also changing the viewpoint character. So for example, in my current story I have the MC’s viewpoint chapters in first person, but when I change perspective to other characters I also change to third person limited. I feel...

Granted. You gain the power to speak to any girl. You can go anywhere in the world and speak to any girl, no matter what language they speak. Indeed, even if they don’t speak any language. You can talk to female dogs. You can talk to female nature spirits. You can talk to ships because they are...

Wow. Even if you’re solely interested in LGBTQ representation, wow. Taash is absolutely AWFUL representation, specifically. Abrasive, not well integrated into preexisting lore, aggressively modern in presentations for a lot of reasons (their choice of nonbinary as a self description being only...

Two options. I don’t know which is appropriate. 1. Stop writing for a bit. Chill. Relax. Set a date to start writing again. 2. Write every day for at least a few minutes. If it sucks, don’t worry about it. Just write and come back to edit.

Hmm. Ponytail? No, Samus. Wavy hair? No, Peach. Or Cynthia from Pokemon. Hime cut, maybe? Or sausage curls? Braids are good, either one braid or multiple. Or a crown braid, a la the Khaleesi herself. Just some options. I’m not even a hair guy. I’m just married to a woman with long hair.

Niche but not bad if written well, like a lot of things. There are people who would bounce right off and people who would be deeply disappointed if this is a one off thing. As for me? Idk I’d need to read it.

Humans only OR choose a different race and have that be the race the MC is using. Then that + humans so you can organically introduce that race’s specific quirks and traits in ways other than blatant exposition dumps. You can use subtle exposition dumps. As for suggestions? Hell if I know...

I hang out with my wife/daughter and play video games when I have alone time. Hanging out with my family does often include at least a little bit of watching shows or movies; anime with my wife, My Little Pony or Disney classics with my daughter. I don’t read much, but I listen to a lot of...

There’s a delay on new novels. Approval process etc. It’ll probably be up in a day or two.

Also, as a side note, no it doesn’t cost more than Shadow of the Erdtree. Both cost 40$ when not purchased as part of bundles. If they had made it as a DLC that would have been explicitly worse than as a standalone, because as a DLC you couldn’t purchase it unless you had the base game. Feel...

Your opinion as someone who didn’t like the base game and obviously didn’t like the new one is, of course, valid and should inform your purchasing decisions. That said? An asset flip that has a different gameplay loop and style than the original game is very different from a DLC. If it wasn’t...

The lack of micro transactions seems kinda weird for a blatant cash grab, given that they are proven to be incredibly profitable.

So are you also of the opinion that Larian are just money grubbing corpo opportunists because they made a D&D game based on an old franchise right in the middle of D&D’s highest relevance in decades?

Ok, I’ll try for a slightly less inflammatory counterpoint: Why did they make another Armored Core game a little bit ago? Like, what trend were they chasing there? How does that fit into your money grubbing corpo narrative?

Ah yes. I forgot that there is literally only ever one good way to make art and it is always the most extreme end of one spectrum or another. Experimenting outside of your own wheelhouse means nothing! If you didn’t make the Ironman suit in a cave over the course of two weeks with a gun to your...
