    Review Swap

    More useful question. Does the person you're review swapping with actually know what a review is? I've encountered people who don't in these sorts of things before.

    The scale of time in fantasy stories

    Indeed. On this subject, here on this Earth, I believe China is likely the nation that has existed in name and rough location for the longest of any nation in our history. If you define it as the nation that originated around the Yellow River valley, writes and speaks the Chinese language, and...

    How to defeat procrastination.

    The hypocrisy is strong with this one. At this point it's fairly clear you are just trying to get any cheap strike in you can think of since someone has outweighed you on all three fronts of Aristotelian logical argument (ethos (credibility), logos (logic and evidence), and pathos(emotional...

    How to defeat procrastination.

    Ok, so 1, I'm not buying motivational books. What I do have is experience in dealing with people who have mental disabilities and other serious life problems, and I know from FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE that the things you're saying here are incredibly harmful. If I were to say the things you're...

    How to defeat procrastination.

    And this attitude helps no one. Being more understanding of the issue will get a lot more people motivated and putting out good work. This is what I am trying to do here. Anyway, since you haven't watched the video, one of the three issues that can lead to procrastination is actually something...

    How to defeat procrastination.

    According to the video, literally the worst advice ever. Only works (some of the time) for 1 out of the 3 causes of procrastination. So, it'll really not work out well at all for the other two.

    How to defeat procrastination.

    I just stumbled across this video on Youtube, really good for helping you understand the causes of procrastination and then how to overcome those causes.

    You fake music artists can't compare!

    Did I say superhero Vs? No, I just said Vs. You can do Chuck Norris Vs. Mike Tyson, or even Martain Luther King Vs. Ghandi for all I care. The AI just needs to be able to come up with and do it convincingly, making salient arguments and using good research.

    You fake music artists can't compare!

    Now I want an AI that can set up Vs. battles with accurate research with no prompts regarding what characters to use, and actually makes compelling arguments as to who would win. Reason being, this would demonstrate the AI is actually reasonably intelligent. It's a challenge, but not one to say...

    Is this a crossover fanfic?

    Well then, this means they are not the Kaiju from the Godzilla franchise, they are look-alikes from the One-piece universe. This means that it is, indeed, not a cross-over.

    Favorite Holiday sweets

    I just spent the day making chocolate peanut butter balls for a Christmas party. Those things are incredibly good, but it is unreal just how much of a learning curve it is to figure out how to actually make them right. It's made especially hard by the fact that I have a food sensitivity (which...

    What do you think of mecha stories?

    Yeah, I was thinking this would be very much a thing. I mean, I'm definitely biased because I don't like mecha much at all, but I think a lot of that is a result of my first exposure to the genre being Gundam Wing, which is just boring. I did watch Eureka 7 years later when my anti-mecha...

    (Non) LitRPG

    When it comes to RPGs, I generally play old-school or old-school mimicking games. The one I'm really big into right now is Another Eden.

    Is this a crossover fanfic?

    Ok, I have only skimmed the synopsis, I have zero intention to actually read this because it doesn't really interest me. However, I have seen enough of it that I can at least ask a question, and you answering my question will probably be enough to answer your own question as to why either it...

    Writing about the opposite gender.

    My advise would be don't write a woman, write a character who happens to be a woman. The character's gender is just one part of who they are. And, just as you would do with any character, start forming their personality in the same way you would create it for a male character. You can use some...

    You got isekaid into your own novel

    Ironically, the best way to survive in my story is to get targeted by the villain of the series. My world is seriously hostile, and the villain is a demon who likes finding tools he can use to make the world even worse. The only benefit of this is that he does like to keep his tools in good...

    What are some of the best light novels?

    Interesting the criteria are specified to "Light Novel" and not including webnovels. That said, if we were to stick very strictly to only Light Novels, I'd definitely list Ascendance of a Bookworm as quite likely the best LN ever written. If we were to expand the criteria to include Webnovels...

    [Poll] Fantasy Race you have to live as in a isekai world

    Ok, well, my vote's going for changeling then. I'll just let my list sit there for anyone who wants to vote off of it later.

    [Poll] Fantasy Race you have to live as in a isekai world

    Right. If them's the rules, why don't I just suggest an entire list to be added to the poll? Elves Gnomes Dwarves Changelings Celestians Yokai Kitsune Satyrs Sirines Merfolk Ogres Kijin Tengu Lizardfolk EDIT: That's just what I was able to think up off the top of my head under a bit of time...

    What makes a good LitRPG?

    It's true you can write and define things however you want in most cases, but you defined your sub-genre as "hyper realism." As soon as you do that, you suddenly have rules you need to abide by, and one of them is accurate definitions. I mean, it's fine if you want to just do whatever you want...
