I'm disappointed there is no poll in this thread.

If he does not have three bastard childern by the age of 18, he's not Zeus.

I can easily imagine stories like those leading to myths of "the great evil that dwells bellow" sort, swallowing ships either out of unsatiable hunger or sheer malice, and keeping the people from reaching for the suns, discouraging them from trying to dive altogether to avoid this evil. Similar...

They could absolutely be used for navigation, though it would be more complicated. In a comparison with our world, it would not be just clouds blocking the sight of the stars (on both sides of the bubble), but also other landmasses, and stormy seas could make accurate acquisition even harder due...

Yes, that absolutely sounds good. Going by gut feeling rather than any particular science, I would say 2 stars would be sufficient, 3 would be good, 4-5 if you were feeling fancy, but anything more that that is starting to feel too convoluted.

That sounds like a curious, plausible idea. Just with only one sun, you have to remember it would be dark on both continents at the same time, more dark on the continent blocking the light, and probably brighter on the landmass on the receiving end of the shadow. Some day-night/seasonal cycle...

I can think of several novels where poverty is used to varying degrees, either as part of the character's background or motivation, or a temporary circumstance, but one where it is a lasting, major theme is harder to think of. Those are probably the closest two I know Lament of the Slave - it's...

So as I understand this, the islands are facing inwards, sitting on the inside of an ocean-bubble? I think the sun lighting up the world through this bubble from the outside is a cool idea. The world would likely never get truly dark, due to the light scattering through the water, just...

That's an interesting thought. I assume their physiology would mean their intestines would be stronger, more so the older and bigger they grow, and its larger size would likewise give you more options while processing it - such as using several layers to further strenghten it. So to answer your...

I would point out your readers are a tiny fraction of the total reader base, no matter how popular you are. You might be using platforms where the worse readers don't dwell as much, you might have done something right that discourages them, or maybe you just lucked out, but the average reader is...

Intestine is too weak to be used as garden hose. Even just the water pressure inside would rupture it, and that's before talking about how it would scrape along the ground all the time. It's an alright water/food pouch, though.

Is it conceptually any different from a simple, generic LitRPG? Limited skill choices tied to level-ups are kind of a staple... The choices are the same for pretty much every person with the same class, but after a point there is enough of those choices to make most higher levels different from...

So to sum this up - overconfident and shameless advertising, pitiful chapter length, awkward synopsis at best (and I'm being generous here), and apparently matching quality of the chapters themselves? Yeah, I'm not touching this with a ten foot pole.

There are two main ways to gatekeep your gear progression - availability and affordability. Your MC can walk into a store bursting with the best quality gear on the market, but it's not going to do him much good if he can barely afford the cheapest gear. Conversely, your MC can come into...

A story does not need to convey a hidden message or moral lesson. Nothing is stopping you from including it, but it is optional and depending on execution, might not even add anything positive to the end result. As a bit of a side note, I believe it is famously the territory of (traditional)...

Common style in isekai/LitRPG slop is naming rarity by materials/metals/gems. Better way, in my opinion, is expanding the name - not by adjectives like "super duper mega powerful", but by specialization. Rarer, higher tiers are not neccessarily stronger than more common tiers, but they are...

Which non-English countries specifically? Many western names have a direct equivalent in English, so there you have the option of translating them if you really want to. For everything else, you should just leave the names as they are - romanized when needed, but not translated.

They appear to bee bees. Seeing as you can't handle them yourself, you should not have too much trouble finding a beekeeper willing to come to you and take them off your hands.

Generally, I would say yes, it would likely mean a drop in power. But... You could say their [insert energy of choice] is stored in their body mass. More body mass means more energy being stored, and if they lose part of their body, their body mass and storage nturally decrese. Their energy...

I started reading practically as soon as I knew how to read, so I really cannot tell you what exactly got me into it - though childern's books would be a reasonable blanket answer. Always leaning towards fantasy and adventure, I grew up with Harry Potter, Jules Verne, and some collections of old...
