I'm not really familiar with that one. I looked it up by the name and found it was a TTRPG, but can't find too much about the rules set to place it according to what era it conforms to the most. The Wiki article I looked up says it was inspired by a number of vampire movies, so my best guess...

This is inspired by @RepresentingEnvy for her favorite vampire sub-species poll, I thought I'd post a poll based on the actual vampire lore that's out there. So, for those of you who are unaware of what the actual lore behind each is in the poll above, I'll give you all a brief run-down...

I was thinking maybe you might go by eras of Vampire lore. Bham Stoker Movie-age Buffy Vampires Anime Vampires Webnovel Vampires Stephanie Mire Vampires. They each have different and distinct lore. The most ubiquitous among them in the Western world, having the lore most people think is...

Less than 20 points between systolic and diastolic? I think you might have more issues than just low blood pressure there. I'd have that monitored and documented in coordination with a doctor. It might be nothing, but it might also lead to some sort of serious issue. That said, I'm sure there...

Chronicles of Narnia is really in the middle of the time-line so far as those things go. It's most note-worthy aspect is that it is a contemporary of Lord of the Rings, coming out at around the same time as Tolkein was re-defining the fantasy genre AWAY from the otherworld trope that has...

And you said you weren't misinforming people, and yet here you go insisting against evidence that this is the definitive modern definition. Now all that you're doing is trying to off-set the blame by using the "No true Scotsman" fallacy, insisting it's some undefined and amorphos "modern...

Oh my, this thread has the exact opposite of that most beautiful staff thread. That thread had some very impractical looking staves, and this caused them to come off as ugly to my eyes. This thread has some incredibly practical and well designed swords (with a few exceptions.) As such, they all...

It was the way of thinking that you offered that is backwards and myopic. You defined a recent niche trope within a very old genre as the entirety of the genre, as though the development of this trope suddenly changed the definition of this very old genre. That's seriously not how it works, at...

Dude, you presented your opinion as an objective argument. As soon as you do that, it's open to scrutiny. As such, I countered your opinion with the literal definition, and offered objective proof that your opinion does not conform to reality. So, if you're fine with having an opinion that...

Ok, I believe your thinking has gone very backwards here. A new trope developing within the genre does not mean the word's definition has changed to be narrowed to only stories that contain this new trope. It's a new trope in an existing genre. This means the genre has expanded, not narrowed...

No, it does not refer to today's generation. That's what I'm saying. In Japan, the term has been in use for over a century! Yes, it is fairly recent that the west has adopted the Japanese term, but the term is by no means new or recent, and it does not refer to any specific trope outside of the...

Ok, so first off, "Isekai" is literally the Japanese word for "otherworld." I don't just mean that they have equivalent meanings. "Sekai" is the actual Japanese word for "world." The "I" prefex doesn't quite translate to English as smoothly, it doesn't have a one to one English equivalent, but...

Worst thing about that, most of the people talking all this anti-white propaganda are white themselves. They're just racists with guilty consciences. And it shows too. Their activism is incredibly racist in it's nature. They believe white people are the only ones in the world who are capable of...

Go for blackouts.

The only time I ever have something I hate in my story, it is because it serves some purpose in being there and is necessary to tell the story I want to tell. For instance, the condoning of slavery in the world can be a part of showing the times or working through how slavery gets overcome. Or...

I'd consider it something you could maybe reason you could count, but it would definitely count as every bit as cheaty as counting me talking about the technicalities of what would count or not in regards to the bingo square. That is to say, very cheaty. The square was in reference to a specific...

I'm just making a gag, because I saw the opening. (It was to some video game from the 4th or 5th generation era, I forget which. For context, we're currently on the 9th console generation, and the original Nintendo Entertainment system was the 3rd generation.)

Yes, and when you fail, it is announced in the form of a deep ominous sounding voice that simply says "Failure..."

You mean the part 5 brutality? Because, if not, the LN has already covered the entirety of parts 1-4 and the subtle suffering mentioned in those parts is still very much present.

Well, if you're asking what my favorite webnovel is, I can quite easily and honestly answer that it's Ascendance of a Bookworm. The suffering is somewhat more subtle, but it's definitely there, and it starts to get somewhat more brutal in part 5. EDIT: Also, while that one really is an honest...
