    A world where everyone can cast fireball.

    So... a chinese MC (obviously) decides to "make the world a better place" and set the rule to allow anyone to cast fireball. Just fireball. His argument is simple, when even a baby can have the ability to kill, the world will be a better place because now everyone has the equal chance to kill...

    Omnipresent/ cloning is a bad power to have for writing.

    Like having an OP MC that should not be the focus of the story, letting MC having the ability to clone himself is a bad idea. So far, Warhammer Wizard (a direct translate of CN name) is one of the viable examples I can name. What make cloning bad is the avility to send them scouting the lands...

    Is not doing a bad thing = doing a good thing

    For those who read the title, know that my answer is NO. Inaction is not an action. Not doing a bad thing does not equate to doing a good thing. There is a third party in the system between Good and Bad; Mid. Inaction is Mid. You not murdering a rando on the street? You are not Good, you...

    Recommendations A power collect-a-thon for MC.

    For reference, 寂静杀戮 (no TL to Eng) and Tribulation of Myriad Races are an example. Both of them involved having the knowledge to extract powers from beings such as humans and animals. For 寂静杀戮, the power harvesting is done by digging up tumors/ life nodes from others that have these and...

    Cast-&-forget or power-supplied armor?

    The background is a bunch of mages discussing the two types of armor creation spells, namely cast-&-forget and power-supplied. Assuming that both types of armor are capable of withstand any forms of attack and the comparison between their casting cost and time, and cooling time to be...

    Recommendations Physical violence

    At this point, I am almost given up in finding Get Lost clones and the iconic Muscular Mayhem. What I am looking for needs to have most, if not all of the following criteria: 1. MC is in deep shit. Be he prince or be he pauper, outside forces are gaping his asshole everso harder. This MUST...

    How do you write a merge of personalities?

    What defines us is our experience, our memories. Or at least that is how I, and maybe majority of the people, would like to define. What happens when somewhere, somehow, you have someone else's memories? So yes, I am having a difficulty in writing out the kinks and knots during a merge between...

    Is my proposed leveling system too limited?

    The leveling system levels up via quest completion. For example, do 3000 push ups, kill a man, etc. Basically, completing one given task and a level up is granted. The system itself also provides three distinct abilities. For example: 1. Physical Boost (Passive) 2. Storage 3. Hadoken My...

    Strength or Dex or Both?

    ROB killed you by accident, decides to yeet you into isekai to fight holy war (you can't say no). Gives you an option to choose between Strength build, Dexterity build or Balanced build. 1. Strength build: fights with overwhelming power and crushing blows. Might be slow but also tanky because...

    Why the western works are not so focused on training rhe human body?

    Probably due to too much wuxia and xianxia to the brain, I look back at western works and they mostly made no mention on training the body. Yes, there is HEMA, but those are sword techniques designed to kill, not to train the body. And then when magic is involved, shit immediately goes to "the...

    (For Writing Purposes) What useful app do you have on your phone?

    What are the useful apps you think that once it gets isekaied as an otherworld skill, it will be OP and broken? This is me reliving the Warhammer Wizard days where the dude's phone has a lot of fancy shit. 1. The camera that boosted his eyesights to inhuman levels (the SH version is not as...

    How did fantasy medieval people gain superpower?

    So thanks to JRPG and chinese fuckshits, when I tried to write a western medieval fantasy BS where the MC somehow gain superpower to bla bla bla, i find myself either tilted to murder = EXP (LitRPG), martial schools (wuxia/ 低武 low level martial arts), find an artifact (MC route), When I think...

    Item assimilation ability.

    I want to puke. I feel like something heavy pressing on the center of my crown and I am walking lopsided. Anyway, I talked about Warhammer Wizard and MC having his smartphone as his golden finger. Ok now my nose hurts too and typing becomes a chore. Basically, his eyes have telescopic, xray...

    Recommendations Using ordinary item as overpowered system.

    So 战锤巫师 or Warhammer Wizard (no translation or MTL present in NU) had the MC merged with his Huawei and the superpower he got is near BS level. It is powered by souls of the recently dead, it has basic function like camera eyes that allows zoom, photographic memory, gyroscope to have perfect...

    Isn't paladin just warlock with a sharp stick?

    Oath to a deity. Pact to the devil. Paladin = Cleric = Warlock. Iirc the Pointy Hat made an Oath Keeper that kept weird oaths but not to a deity. I forgot how it went and how their "divine" powers are formed. Also in novels (mostly chinese anyway), the knights would kept virtuous oaths and...

    Pays well to be unscrupulous

    Writers like to write their MCs as the paragon of good or at the very least, not hang their dirty laundry in front of the readers but would show others being bad and in the end, "defeated/ learnt their errors thanks to MC". So is there anyone who tried to make their MC actually bad? Not...

    Recommendations Works with double EXP.

    Not entirely referring to LitRPG but since numbers are involved it probably is. MC's cheat is literally double EXP. As in one training sword swing equals to two and he is twice as fast to level up etc.

    Recommendations Soul bind/ contract, except it is with a weapon than a beast.

    I have read works that featured the power system to be about beast tamer and their sole soul mate beast. The human method to become stronger is to train with the beast and when the beast gets stronger, so do them. And then I went through a lot of JP that featured pulling weapons out of one's...

    Recommendations MCs who know they are in the wrong.

    "People like to think of themselves as complex but good and others as simple bad people." Funny for me, the speaker of this phrase is a chinese main character and the author often tries to justify the MC's behaviour as "the other guys started it." So the MC is a discount Chen Ping An from...

    Weaponizing gods and religion

    So... the chinese are great at it, considering their entire pantheon are filled with bloodthirsty monkey, dude with a third eye, rollabladez and rando deities that I can't name to save my life. Oh and Pangu and his stupid universe splitting axe. And it is also the chinese who weaponize Baby...
