    Bullying in Fiction

    From my knowledge and experience, bullying is only ever subtle in front of the teachers or other figures of authority, or while the bully is testing the waters. As for the rest, although I can't rule it out outright, I only ever heard of putting someone's head in the toilet in fiction, but...

    How Should I Go About Rebooting My Work?

    As a reader, I will join the above statements that if I was reading your story and you dropped it halfway for a rewrite, then I would not bother reading the rewrite until it at least caught up with the original, even if I was invested in it, as I have seen too many rewrites that just ended up in...

    What are some of the best light novels?

    Out of those, I have only read "She was both called god, as well as satan", but while it is unique with a great concept, and an enjoyable read, it has too many plot holes, inconsistencies and other issues to be called great.

    Physical Copy or Digital Copy?

    I prefer physical books so much more, but digital books are simply more convenient, in that you can effectively carry hundreds of them with you at any given time.

    Does anyone know which author/book this quote is in?

    With some googling, I got one plausible result Supreme Villain: Seducing the Heroines on Webnovel

    Do you think that Italian can be used as a fantasy rune language?

    Only if you know how to gesticulate in runes.

    Some unique changes/twists for the Isekai genre…

    I wonder why nobody does low-evil or high-evil. Your list is missing "medieval", on the other hand.

    I've just watched Lord of the Rings for the first time. Wasn't impressed...

    I mean... there is some drama later on, the classical misunderstanding and/or "MC gets swayed by the baddies pretending to be the good guys" arc, but it is rather well justified under the circumstances and Sam pulls through, making their bond stronger for it.

    I've just watched Lord of the Rings for the first time. Wasn't impressed...

    Probably no more that when you say Sam is a great waifu. Which is objectively the truth, I mean, he is unquestioningly loyal to the ML, without hessitation following him through any danger, great cook and exceedingly capable overall. In certain definitions he can even be considered cute. And...

    Am I the only one who prefer really long anime?

    Basically this. I like long anime, if it is done well, but really long, especially One Piece kind of long, only if it's self-enclosed episodes I can pick up and drop any time. Legend of the Galactic Heroes was great, it was long, but for the story it was telling, it was just right. It did not...

    When the Clueless Dummy is dangerous.....

    Reminds me of Minic from Everybody Loves Large Chests. The little thing had a simple mind, but somehow accumulated so much Luck stat, it was effectively immune to any harm. The world itself would bend to protect it and lead it back home no matter what it got up to. (Example Chapter)

    To edit or to not

    I'm not an author, but I would say leaving too many or too big inconsistencies unadressed will push your readers away, as they won't wait however long it might take you for a hypothetical editing pass that might never come, but it will affect their enjoyement of the story. On the other hand, I...

    My guide on writing Large-scale battles

    Of course, that was not to critique you, just adding stuff I personally deemed noteworthy while still simple enough to keep in mind. In space battles, it would probably depend a lot more on the tech involved and the general setting, but enacting a blockade around a planet or such would probably...

    My guide on writing Large-scale battles

    My notes as a reader to this: A battle will not always take place at the campaign's objective itself. Both attacking and defending armies will instead seek to draw the engagement into a terrain advantageous to them - typically narrow passes, river crossings, fortified positions or other easily...

    Writing Prompt Perfect-Shot Villain vs Protagonist... With a twist.

    The only way to protect yourself from a sure-hit, sure-kill technique, is to offer another life for your own. The catch is, that the life you offer has to be of similar or higher potential to your own, which for humans is another sentient being, and for a god-chosen Hero, only another life with...

    To dungeon or not to dungeon

    You could combine the first and third options too. Dungeons spawn semi-regularly from concentrations of mana or other catalysts, and if left unchecked will eventually start releasing hordes of aggresive monsters that overrun the area and scour it clean in search of food, or just bloodlust. It's...

    [For Scifi Spaceship fans] How would you rectify these concepts in a space-warfare era setting?

    Solar sails are a thing, without even going into the theoretical means of propulsion in space. Though it would not be exactly convenient method to move payloads during a battle.

    Have you guys ever burned yourselves out reading?

    There are books I don't read unless I'm in the right frame of mind to properly focus on and enjoy them. There are books I took a break from when something puts me off, usually after binging through many chapters, only to pick it up again months later with a fresh perspective - becuase the book...
