    Homeless

    Far too many times I have seen the homeless make a beeline straight for the nearest store with alcohol or cigarettes, after receiving money they said they needed for food/train ticket...

    Coping With Poor Reviews

    Be glad that they left a review that everyoe can see and judge for themselves, instead of just leaving a rating, and while they could have perhaps framed it better, they do raise valid points. Maybe not as valid for you, but it is certainly valid for other potential readers. That said, if you...

    Recommendations Any super-duper funny fantasy stories?

    There was This Quest is Bullshit, but I believe it was moved to Amazon entirelly. Also Everybody Loves Large Chests on RR, though I think it was better comedy in the first half than the latter. And Fork This Life!, though that is not exactly updated frequently these days. Edit: And Dungeon Item...

    Ending suggestions for a romance story

    Actually, what you describe has nothing to do with NTR, since the the CF is not in a relationship with anyone other than maybe the bully. Unless you meant the the MC is dating his CF when she falls in love with and is impregnated by the bully, but even then it would be "just" cheating, since it...

    The novels people like DO reflect who they really are.

    Can one of the involved parties post the actual rant that is at the core of this argument? I would like to judge for myself, but while the stories in question are simple enough to find, I'm not about to sift through 100s of chapters just to find one comment.

    How do you guys feel about the use of the metric system of measurement in fantasy novels?

    Metric is certainly easier, you can also rationalize it the same way as why the other world speaks in English. Honestly, I find it more annoying when the author tries to "reinvent the wheel" by changing the length of days, weeks etc. - "It took them two weeks to get to their goal. But each week...

    Better than most. Recommendations

    Personally, I can agree it is all tentatively connected, but handled quite well, I have to disagree on that point. The icing on the cake was the phone messages between them - I can somehow get over how those messages were comming through in "real time" for both of them, despite the time...

    Better than most. Recommendations

    I firmly believe the only reason people consider "Your Name" good, is the artstyle, which is genuinelly georgeous. I watched it on the behest of a friend, and while the first half is just a run-of-the-mill body swap, the second half is when the writers ran out of ideas and started bullshitting...

    Does this sound even remotely possible?

    Nope, necrosis alone would not stop the blood loss at all. The tissue would die, but the blood vessels would be as open as ever. As mentioned above, you would have to combine it with something else, where the necrosis would be only a secondary effect of whatever caused the blood to stop flowing...

    Harem’s suck

    Harems. The genre where MCs are consistently unable to approach even one love interest, so they get swarmed with five, all fighting for their amazing character qalities, like their unmatched indecisiveness and ability to disregard the most ovbious advances made on them as misunderstandings.

    Genderbent dudes in yuri is weirdly common

    You can try stories from QuietValerie. Generally they deal with guys getting stuck in a female body and then, through initial rejection and panic, slowly coming to terms with it and realizing they are much more comfortable in their new form, and were actually trans from the start.

    That's it. I'm repurposing my story into a litRPG.

    That sounds like you're trying to bite off way more than you can chew, but good luck to you nonetheless. You will need it.

    When is a 1star rating justified

    Some people use the rating as either 1 or 5, nothing in between. Personally, I would say 1 is justified when the novel is unreadable, though what constitutes an unreadable novel can vary. Terrible English in general is one prime reason (as an extreme example, I have seen one case where the novel...

    Are all character capable of redemption?

    I am assuming, since the topic is redemption, that he is known as incestuous pedophile because of his past actions. In that case, absolutely not. If it was his desire that he fought against and never gave into, go ahead, but the moment he acts on it, he crosses the point of no return.

    System or no system

    I would say a resolute no is the answer, especially since you have already started releasing the novel and are only now considering to add a system to it. As a reader, most novels with system I see, seem to only use a system because it looks fun or interesting (which seems to be the reason you...

    The bible is a bad novel

    That's what happens if you have dozens of authors contributing to a single work without proper oversight, and yet more editors changing it as they like over the course of millennia.

    Critical Damage vs Piercing/Armor Penetration

    Criticals are usually percentage increase to "base" damage, triggered by RNG or a hit on weakpoints. Armour piercing/penetration does not affect "base" damage, but how much of the damage gets through to the target by negation a portion of its armour, on every hit. In theory, crits are much...
