    What is the mana circle that is used to gauge a level of a magician?

    Mana circle... not referring to those drawn on the ground and the SFX effect as the mages cast their spells. I am referring to something like the 8th circle magician (there are two manhwas with the similar name...) and in KR, they often just use how many mana circles in the heart as the gauge of...

    Giving extras names

    Would you give an extra a name, knowing that his/ her/ its purpose is to last for up to five chapters or less (continuously or staggered) and will never make a recurring performance when their time is up? In some JP/ CN/ KR novels, they just refer the extra as their occupation/ cultivation...

    Expanding out or containing within?

    Yeah, I have random thoughts thanks to too much xuanhuan mumbo BS on whether connecting your body to the world and thus gaining unlimited* power thanks to the world being your mana pool or containing from within, bunkering up your body's defense and making it inpenetratably hard. *Limited by...

    How does the western powerset do "cultivation"

    As the title state, how does your average fighter/ swordsman/ non-magic wielding MCs get strong enough to face cultivators without the magic of evolving into a superhuman just by doing martial arts? Not talking about LitRPG and system based "ding, you get smol pener and bod of bodybuilder"...

    (Recommendation of songs)

    To whom it may concern, As shown in below attached, I am hoping to find songs like these to lull myself to sleep. Preferably to be in Japanese/ Korean and not English. Many thanks. With best regards, Notanuffian

    How much did you pander to the audience?

    Original Vampire (CN) just ended yesterday and the ending is expectedly disappointing. The thing had been a gentle lowering into the grave since a month ago with Colin too OP even until the last fight against the supposed "big bad". Then the afterwords of the author made me want to post this...

    What is "evil" to you?

    They are everywhere, from random guy on the street, the buggers you had to deal with for the plot to progress, some random influential blokes to the other races/ countries/ gangs for you to get xenophobic about. The MC's origin can be anything as well, from common guy...

    (Looking for drawings) Predatory grin from the side

    Looking for stock images/ drawn images of a person smiling menacingly like the above example but with full face (full view of eye, nose and mouth) instead of just showing the grin like the below example. Many thanks. Ps. Now on a laptop and able to see my own signature, the amount of smile...

    Would you rather me to sweat on you, lick you or pee on you?

    For context, I was doing my clerical work, which sounded like I am a cleric, something cool and also disturbing, but I am just a plainass clerk doing paper counting. So earlier on when I ran out of water for my thumb and index to count the stack, I decided to rub them on my forehead for some...

    Resolved A dungeon crawler in RRL

    So in the very first chapter, a dude is about to venture into a dungeon, which is labelled as some special place, and he got bugged by a dude name Liam who said that he is going into the dungeon for money, to help his mother or sister. He saw MC and wanted him into their group of dungeon...

    Picking insane mana pool or insane mana regeneration

    This is a discussion, NOT A WRITING PROMPT. So I was planning a poll between skilled but weak and strong but unskilled, featuring skilled being able to know how not to fuck up your punches due to fist placement, location of attack and etc. The notion of weak and strong being your body being...

    The trouble of using inner monologue

    This has been cruising in my head for awhile because I had never seen it as big of a problem as I made it out to be, but it seems that I was wrong. In the normal world, there are methods of speaking, but in a conversation there should always be two or more people participating in it. Speaking...

    Disposing useless organs, cool or nah?

    While I was plagerizing Daoist Gu's power system, I already noticed one of the many kinks it had and it was the fact that the author used bugs (gu) to replace the standard elixirs, sacred treasures and even skills in xianxia. Ultimately the bugs can be split into two groups; consumables and...

    Recommendations Gaze into the future

    Some novels had done a good job with the OP ability to see the future like the fanfic Kallen Stadtfeld, Countess of Britannia with the power being nerfed until Kallen can only see hers and her loved ones deaths and to alter the timeline accordingly. Some had did a poor job like the CN that...

    Writing How to depict a scene like below?

    I got a bit stuck in trying to depict a scene that is similar to the above pic (a picture speaks a thousand words, fml) and I happen to lack words for it, so I will try and do a not-so-quick run through of the motion. 1. Guy (MC) is in a "barehand sparring practice" with his makeshift class and...

    Everybody's a DPS

    Really never thought about this when reading VRMMORPGs, is this for real in actual raid parties? Like, I understand that tanks do attack for aggro and DPS is mostly on kiters, rogues and NOT designated healers and buff spammers because of mana issue. From my limited view, FFXIV has no mana and...

    Recommendations Establishing a goal right from the start

    Had tried to read Bear Wolf Dog's latest work and discovered that I hate the premise as I drop the work barely after 20 chapters. I missed the olden days where goals are clear, such as to get strong for a fixed reason like changing the world, revenge and more revenge. I could tolerate his...

    How to make a villain leave the work with grace?

    Note that the term "villain" is subjective so I set it as "those who oppose the MC" and mob villains do count in these cases, even if they are more disposable than condoms and comes in so many variants like the Arrogant Young Master #17, ebony blond and featuring NTR functions. Beach shorts...
