I can recommend some of the better anime ones, then: - Vision of Escaflowne - Record of the Twelve Kingdoms - The Boy and the Beast (Same category, but not as great imho: magic knight rayearth, el hazard, fushigi yuugi, "now and then, here and there", dog days. And if you stretch the...

I wouldn't call that proper feedback. I might do that later, in the feedback channel. Good luck with your story though. I thought I would hate the Thor movie on the MCU because the protagonist is a God. But then I had forgotten how Norse Gods are inherently flawed and human. And the actor...

Sure. And historical shadow organisations like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn are absolutely worth reading about to get a good view of what goes on in those circles. But sometimes you just need a bunch of demon summonings Hellions to wreck Paragon City and justify some skull smashing...

I checked it out already, although only by skimming, since I am working. I don't vibe with 1st person narrator, myself, but that is absolutely a question of taste.

Well, the Defias brotherhood are fairly justified. They did all the work, and never got paid. It's almost as icky as making union members into bad guys. The best bad guys are people who think they're doing the right thing, but often using the wrong ways. The Scarlet Crusade are a good example...

I am personally uninterested in it at first reading (As a fan of catgirls, I actually prefered that pitch, ah!) But here is why: because the God of War is getting punished for being a huge jerk in the first place, I don't want him to succesfully return to his old self. I also don't want to...

Ah, right. You could see Lenneth as Platina's reincarnation or vice versa. But unless you get the special ending (which continues beautifully in VP2), Lenneth isn't associated with reincarnation or creation, she's just a collector of the dead. Anyway, fantastic series, and does make you think...

But Lenneth doesn't do reincarnation at all in VP1? She captures dead souls and train them. Sylmaria, however, absolutely deals with reincarnation and second chances. Difference between the valkyrie of the past, present, and future. Also, so happy to stumble on someone else familiar with this...

Yeah, that's why it's important to know when to click ignore and say "this is my voice, I will not budge on that one."

2000+ feels good to me. 8000+ feels too long and risks making decide to go to bed in the middle of something. The right answer in print media is "as long as the chapter needs" With web serialisation, you want to balance the "this is too little" and "this is too long". I aim for 2000. I am...

I think reincarnation can be a super interesting topic to study via your protagonists. If anyone here as seen the excellent (but old) movie Dark City, one of the main question raised by this movie is: "Are humans more than the sum of their memories?" If you wake up in someone else's body (you...

Technically tools like ProWritingAid count legally as AI-assisted. Most people don't understand the nuance between Assisted and Generated, so they flinch in revulsion at seeing the word AI. My car is loaded with AI features for safety. Phone autocorrect and email keep suggesting words is...

If AI is good at one thing, it's writing summaries or ELI5ing things.

I use ProWritingAid chapter critique button, which is very close to what ChatGPT does if you know how to word your questions. It can be remarkably insightful at times, for a probability engine. But it also misreads a lot of things. It oftens says I write my chapters in 1st person, but I...

Way to go! My ancestors watched stuff. Your husband's family went around comiting regicide. I have nothing.

I'd have to find a job that lets me work 6pm to 2am. I'm one of the Night Owls people keep hearing about. But at least, in my case, it's literally in my family name. "Veilleux" comes from "veiller", which is French for "to Watch". or "to stay up late". So my family name means "Watchmen". Or...

Nier: Automata, probably. I already replay most of my favourite games, and the fact I know what happens in them doesn't hinder my enjoyment. FF6, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Force, Valkyrie Profile, Suikoden 2... But to play Nier: Automata, for the first time again? Yeah. That would be ballin'.

The part of this story that stuck out to me was the fact you made yourself a Gluten-free meal. It didn't feel like an accidental mention, and my coeliac-afflicted brain picked up that, and mostly tuned out the rest of the debate. Also, whenever I see or read "Am I the first...?" or "Am I the...

I am nearly a decade older. Still a weeb and teenager at heart.
