I don't think the contents, or direct formatting, of the dialogue is itself the issue. Rather, there's just too much unbroken dialogue. Usually large sections of dialogue are broken up with descriptions of what's going on while the dialogue is happening, body language and facial expressions of...

...Brainpunch? Psychokinetic Eyeball Pulling? OP cause you can win drinking contests, but it comes with a terrible downside: you can't get drunk! Pretty useful. Could be used to sneak a gun or bomb in anywhere.

Depends on the prophecy to a degree. Prophecies are often vague, and the exact meaning is often unclear until it has been fulfilled. But also, it's not like knowing that 'the good guys win' ruins the story. That's almost every story, everyone is expecting that from the beginning. What matters...

Code Name: Kaleido Known Aliases: [Kali, Kaleithe, Kaleithelieon], Glass Rose, Siriris Estelle Xiorra, Ari Lunari, Siri Solaris, Iris Darkshard, Proto-Níðhǫggr, [Unknown] Info: Created by an unknown third party under Project: Yggdrasil. Kaleido is believed to be the prototype of an experiment...

I suppose I'll wish for the end of humanity. Interpret that as you will.

I'd take a Bec de Corbin. Sturdy, versatile, lethal (good against armored and unarmored opponents, decent reach being a polearm), unlikely to stand out too much as an oopa, beyond just being rather well made. It'll fit into a medievalish setting as is common with isekais, and it can be passed of...

Not that that'd matter, your gun would probably stop working long before then, and you'd have to lug all that around.

It's more than just ideology though. Knowing about the past helps one to understand the present. And having education about the past and literature and whatnot is also a preventative measure against misinformation; it gives the user a framework to compare and judge new information to ascertain...

So just don't. Pretend it makes sense that this completely other world has equivalent animals to ours, and then just treat them as normal. When reading, it can get hard to track the names of different animals, especially when you just take an earth animal and change the name. Like, if you're...

Extraordinarily self-important despite they're mundanity in the broader scheme of things.

As long as the quality of their older stories aren't completely atrocious, I genuinely enjoyed the current work (as opposed to just reading it out of boredom and not having anything else to read) and the story premise isn't something that actively repulses me, then yah, of course.

Yes I did, thanks! I've felt a little awkward about it, but I appreciate your appreciation!

Well I'm tired I just skimmed, but the second is more digestible. Also, I don't know if this sentiment is common, but I always hate it when the blurb starts talking to the reader, which is delightfully absent from the second, in contrast with the first.

My process is probably distinctly unhelpful. It has three variations: 1. Think about character, pull name out of the ether that sounds like it belongs to that character based on vibe. 2. Think about character, discover what letter/sound feels appropriate to start the name based on vibe, run...

Wildfire from Honkai: Star Rail

I killed the Fateweaver and now the world is ending The (Magic) Academy's Strongest Janitor

magma/lava, maybe?

Marketability; the kind of story, genre, style, structure, etc, that the publishers have decided will sell well based on past sales, which generally means that stuff that's too unique or new is considered too risky and swept aside in favor of more standard story patterns. Possibly a related...

I have a three-way tie between barbarian, wizard, and paladin XD

Space magic is probably my favorite. To be able to effect the fundamental foundation of reality? To move instantly, create your own mini-realm, split your enemies apart at the most fundamental level, create impassable barriers, and just shatter base reality. Lots of fun applications. Dark...
