    Vampire lovers are Ubisoft lovers

    Pretty sure Nintendo is worse now. At least Ubisoft tries to perfectly create games by checking all the boxes on their internal "marketing-based target group surveys" or whatever they call the slob list they use to repaint their borefests, Nintendo doesn't even bother to do that bit of extra...

    Non-underdog stories?

    Both extremes are lazy writing, imo. In an underdog story, the question isn't "will he lose" but rather "how will he prevent losing completely". Same with OP MC, where it's mostly a question of "how fast will MC win" rather than how or why.

    So, what do you do in your free time.

    Eat, sleep, game, cook, tutoring brats (I count that as a paid hobby). And reading at about a hundred pages an hour.

    What publically contoverial/publically hated(whether justified or not) stories have you read and what were your thoughts on it?

    Wild last boss mentioned! I enjoyed it way more than I should have as someone who dislikes Isekai, but the whole thing reminded me way too much of old fantasy anime and golden era (1990-2ks) RPGs. I hated Sword Art before it was cool to hate on. The whole thing felt like a bad .hack...

    Nightreign Defenders are Ubisoft Defenders

    People have been screaming for open world and multiplayer for decades. And now this is all they will get. The same soup warmed up again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Both genres eat...

    Might regret that after a while, but worse you could get is an upset stomach. Sounds like you're feeling peachy, tho.

    Crying MCs?

    "Emotions, bad, emotions are for losersand pussies. Heh, good male characters never show any emotions outside of anger and snark! Make them drop witty one-liners, cool philosophical quotes that show their anger is right and cool, and make them all dark and brooding! That's how you write good...

    [Serious Debate™] What is the optimal number of girls in a xianxia harem?

    Xianxia? Add enough zeroes to fill a whole line, and then multiply it by the number of face slaps, and "you dare"s, and then square it by the number of convenient plot twists in your story.

    What do you guys think about tax (as a concept )

    There's only two absolutes: Death and taxes. Every civilization outside the hunter-gatherer-stage has or had some form of taxation.

    Weird Power Ranger Trope

    Trained soldiers vs. vigilantes. Kind of reminds me of those leveling up vs. cultivation debates, where both are pretty much the same, but focus on different aspects of it. Differing audiences also force different takes on the whole "guardians of humanity fighting against external threat"...

    What's your favourite type of MC?

    Competent, classy, and chaotic. And I don't mean chaotic good/evil, more like they are predictably unpredictable, the kind of character where it's in-character for them to do something unexpected, like sparing an enemy because they like punching them down, even though it's a hassle.

    What does the phrase "going pass human's physical limits" mean to you?

    It's everything that's more than average. When you need to laud your character but are too tryhard to just say "character stronk" you use flowery bs like "they have transcended human limitations by farting at a level 2 while being level 1" or something. But I'm more the "pass on physical...

    Writing How do you sell character relationships?

    Forced proximity, brutal banter, and/or political maneuvering. For my story I try to write what I actually know, so if you ever watched classic stuff like Tom & Jerry, or Looney Tunes, that's the kind of vibes my friend groups will usually have.

    What is your favorite drink in the morning?

    Coffee mixed with mineral water. You asked for morning drinks, so if I'm forced to drink things at those ungodly hours of course I'll drink something disgustingly effective to get me awake.

    What are your some of the most hated tropes?

    Harems. Unless it's inspired by real-world harems, where it's pretty much a race to bear an heir, and behind closed doors it's all cloak & dagger, worse clique politics than CN novel murder-hobo sects, and pretty much the worst of all of humanity squeezed into close proximity. Personal Systems...
