Depends on the reviewer. When Tumblr died all the woke crowd scattered. They've infiltrated a variety and many review sites. So some review sites can have some very anti-male, anti-white, anti-straight bias. You know, racism, sexism, and hate for a particular sexuality, just the opposite of the...

Tbh, I wouldn't mind dying in such a weird way. I would make the ducks work for it. But weird deaths are also a way to immortalize your name.

Non-manuals, and non-textbook, non-fiction books huh. Man... I'd say elementary school, 3rd grade. Was either about geology, sharks, or skeletons. After that it was ALL fiction. school really did kill my curiosity huh.

It comes down to humans having monkey brains. One coin in the original nes Mario bros. Got you 100 points for score. Infact you never see the single or double digits move. Same in pinball, or late game in mmos. BIG number is more impressive. Once you notice what's going on, you can't unsee it...

China as a civilization has existed for that long, but the kingdoms and dynasties come and go regularly. You can straight up Google a list of 13 that can and went through history.

I'm middle aged. Most of the novels here on SH I would consider Young Adult. Hell, I consider any novel with a two bit MC YA. Even most WH40k novels. It's not bad, but it's simple.

I'ma meh. Watched some Gundam and Robotech when I was younger and loved it. I just grew out of it after a while. Swap giant mech with magic or super powers or whatever and you can generally get a similar story.

I rather be a rock golem. Can literally survive the death of all meatbags. Doesn't need to eat. Doesn't need to breath. Can sleep for thousands of years cause why not. Don't want to deal with greedy people coming for your core? Chill 50 kms out in the ocean.

I'd say Record of Lodoss War. Here's how hardcore some of the fans are. There's a $200 gold embossed hard cover available.

Describe her normally. It's the various character's reactions to her that should show her sexiness. I say this as a person who can't really imagine what people are describing anyway and really won't get the picture. Take 'chocolate brown skin' as an example a favorite descriptor for some...

Author notes are fine. Personally, as a reader, I'll look shit up if I can't figure out the context anyway. That's just the nature of not being a machine that can memorize a dictionary. I don't go into a science fantasy novel and not expect to be hit with science jargon. The fact that One Piece...

Futa. But not because I have a problem with chicks with dicks, I just have a problem with it because most authors that use them as a stand in for everything male. It's so ingrained that the futas are male stand ins that they act 100% male except for the time boobs are relevant for a joke. It's...

Just because it's LitRPG doesn't mean I care to read "the grind". I've dropped many because all the author wrote for 50 chapters was the grind for survival and power. It's so boring after a while.

The ancient version of Stoicism is about training yourself to feel good about being virtuous, while accepting reality and instead of out bursting, try to resolve the problem. A kind of keep a cool head now so you can find solutions ,there's plenty of time to break down later when you're safe...

Interesting, but you know the brain gets addicted to emotion. Be it positive or negative, it doesn't matter. With training you "could" work it. But you may be up against decades of ingrained nurture and societal expectations(materialism, gambling, etc), that many can't break away from. And that...

Stoicism? Hmm, the Greek/Roman version is fine. While the modern version is shit. Found it to be interesting how Christianity borrowed heavily from it.

If they can interbreed I prefer races. If they can't I prefer species.

Pretty sure I saw this on ASAP Science or PBS science channels some years ago. Thing is, I don't think the studies take into account just how many times we think about doing something and just not doing it. Then comparing that to the times you tell someone you're going to do something then...

I'm already permanently depressed and have been for 25 years now. Depressed as in "it's a good day when I forget about suicide" kind of depressed. So I avoid tragic grimdark, and dark stories like the plague. I already get enough depressing shit form the news, no need for my fantasy time to also...

It's even more rough when they get like 60, 80, 150 chapters in then just ghost.
