    Tell me your first anime

    Hmm, the first I remember seeing was a bit of Speed Racer. The first I saw every episode of was likely the very first season of Digimon back when it was on the Saturday morning cartoon block.

    Pick a Weapon from Earth to Get Isekai'd with

    50 years worth of continuous fire you say? Why I'll have to go with an M134 minigun. Nothing quite like 3,000 rounds per minute to solve all your problems. Even if it breaks within 2 years, that's still 78 billion bullets owned.

    A thing about education I just understood

    I feel ya. The hard part of history is discerning bias and propaganda from cold hard fact.

    A thing about education I just understood

    I'm of a similar mind when it came to history. Hated it as a youngin, but really appreciated it as an adult. You can't tell where you're going or how to get there if you don't know the past after all. If you know the past you spend far less time bumbling in the dark gambling on possible paths...

    What do you think about a twist on a familiar trope that completely changes its fundamental essense?

    Twists like that are rather common. Day walker, aura vampire, energy vampire, mana vampire, etc. Werewolf, weretiger, werelion, etc. then there's the reverse with beasts changing into humans like kitsune, or modern nekomata. Russian fae were quite different than Celtic fae, and both are...

    Why polite people are so disliked?

    Ah I know. It's a difference between city folk, and everyone else. Politeness takes time, and is appreciated in slower lifestyles. While in big cities like New York or LA, being polite is seen as wasting time.

    How stubborn are your reading preferences?

    Indeed! Slave harem in the Labyrinth really pissed me off. Like what kind of noble would enslave their own daughter to a soap maker?!

    How stubborn are your reading preferences?

    Not really. They're very similar, so once you read the most popular one or two it's all down hill. As pretty much all the drama and villainy is centered around elites trying to stay elite by eliminating the competition.

    How stubborn are your reading preferences?

    Depends. I'm usually a bit flexible, but there are some tags I stay away from. Example of flex would be harem. I think it's trash, but when I got nothing else to read, it's an option. Where as forced sexual relations and mind control is a hard no. Then there's some tags I consider having a...

    If you like an author's latest work, would you read the author's previous work?

    I've only done that with two authors. Andur and Vihyungrang on Royal road.

    A family member that you interact the most becomes the MC’s love interest.

    I guess I can legit call the MC a mother fucker. Which is funny cause she's a granny.

    ‘Weapon’ families

    It really depends upon one main factor if single weapon use families makes sense. If there is war or not. That is it. Historically, war beats the pride out of people or they die, so everyone has trained in atleast two weapons. Archery/gun/magic at range with some sort of melee training in...

    Why Tournament Arcs???

    Ah, the classic shounen anime trope. I too am done with them. Once you learned that Japan has two tournament types, ladder and team, you notice even anime without official tournaments act like tournaments. Every battle arc in Bleach and One Piece act exactly like a team elimination tournament...

    Harmless/Beneficial Curses

    Random people around you desire to throw random things they own at you every time you speak. Random is random, so it's anything from cash to clothing to dangerous stuff like knives or a brick.

    What makes them different?

    Exactly, pretty much the whole best seller list is full of authors who bought atleast 100k of their own books then dumped them in Ollie's. Nothing quite like the best seller clout to get more sales.

    A nutritional conundrum

    Fruit based stuff imo. Or go salty with potato chips and Doritos.

    What are the biggest character traits(usually mc) that you despise the most

    Cocky, doormats, know it all's who only survived because of plot armor, and harem seeking. The harem seeking is really common here. I try them every now and then, but they all suck. Every time a woman is added, they get sidelined character wise. No more growth of character happens, they just...

    Should one follow or defy trends?

    Regardless of trends, there's things that you need to have down to be a great. Story flow, organic feeling characters, compelling plot, non-repreating story in the story engine, etc.
