In the context of nations, there is also the question whether you have treaties that oblige you to help and what impact either result would have on you, even if you're completely uninvolved.

On a more serious note, do they gain understanding of current world, particuralry relating to their field of expertise, or have to adapt from scratch?

Wuxia/Xianxia and meritocracy simply don't go together. Sure, you need hard work if you want to reach the top, but at least 50% of the result is always your inborn talent (or lack of thereof) and without the resources of a powerful clan, you will only ever be an ant. And a descendant of a...

Time for a witch hunt!:blob_paint::blob_paint::blob_paint:

Wipe my history. Wipe my hard drive.

Knife and spoon.

I can see balance and technical issues with your tiers. First, there are massive jumps between them, only the jump between Normal and Master being reasonable compared to the rest. (Really not a fan of those xianxia power levels, but that's beside the point) Second, concerning automatic...

A display of power or empty but serious and believable threats based on their already poor reputation. Otherwise good luck getting a riled up crowd to back off and calm down, when it has found a scapegoat in you and believes themselves to be in power over you.

So you want a 'real world' with a game-like system overlaid on it, interpreting people's abilities, condition etc. into a digital form of an interface (as opposed to the far too common world build on top of a system that controls everything)?

My reading speed and comprehension depends how focussed and immersed in the story I am. If my mind is not in the story, my reading speed picks up and comprehension drops. Also if the author likes to bloat up the word count with superfluous descriptions and infodupms, often with only basic...

Ask yourself, what is EXP? Then ask yourself, EXP being what is is, what methods could provide EXP gain? If EXP is simply a measure of how proficient you are at any given task, then every action can provide EXP to its respective skill or attribute, but character levels should at most be a...

I like multiple POVs myself, with the best example I have seen on SH being The Eagle’s Flight.

Morally and legally, it is wrong to kill POWs, pragmatically it will only make you more enemies if it gets pinned on you, but if your MC is a nutcase murderhobo who does not give a flying fuck, who cares? As for the existence of the rule itself, it makes sense, as long as the nobles in your...

That's a strange way to write No Shave November.

If I remember right, you can disable 18+ stuff in KS, and it's still not as bad as handholding.

Legend of Galactic Heroes The Eagle’s Flight Both have a strong focus on politics and power struggles that drive the world around the main characters.

As far as I recall, magic in folklore usually requires specific regeants and steps to follow, so you could call that more orthodox. As for games, Runescape uses a system where spells consume runes from your inventory, with several categories of runes and each spell requiring different number of...

I agree with others that you should scale down the images quite a bit. I would also advice placing the text under the icons, so the icons do not displace the start of the lines.

The Eagle’s Flight has no internal monologue as far as I can remember, and I honestly believe it's one of the best books on SH. And that's just one example. Your issue might stem less from the lack of internal monologue itself, and more from the lack of author's ability to work around it, make...

One list for novels I'm reading, one for those I finished reading, one list for stories on hiatus, one list for things I want to avoid, and two for stories I want to read or am thinking about reading.
