    ? I just walked in on my mother...

    I don't get this opinion. :confused: Luffy was just hella annoying in early One Piece. His ADHD ass annoyed the hell outa me. He only got slightly better after the time skip. To me LA Luffy is just as annoying as Early anime Luffy.

    Is my proposed leveling system too limited?

    The rewards will have to be high enough to be worth it and be balanced. Cause why would I pick anything other than a hadoken? storage and physical boost are just to nebulous. One could be a literal storage crate, while the other just boosts dead lift strength 10kg.

    Is my proposed leveling system too limited?

    I agree with sanitylimited. It's the content of the quest that makes or breaks it. Can you imagine getting a quest that requires you to get a bachelor's degree, then the next is volunteering at a homeless shelter for a week? Depending on means and location the quest system can be impossible to...

    Writing How does one get better at writing (as a non-native English speaker)?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces The Hero with a Thousand Faces book was really interesting in breaking down the commonality of myth and stories that carried on for centuries. I feel it's a must read, though there's vids on YouTube about it.

    Worm: Have you read it?

    Nah, I was reading JP novels at the time. Shield Hero, Mushoku tensei, konosuba, sword art, etc. Then slowly picked up stories from Royal Road when it changed from being a translation site. That's right, I'm old. It was also around the time I got destroyed by Higurashi and decided, "Know what...

    In honor of the One Piece LA....

    Considering Oda has final approval on the LA fans are willing to let things slide more. Unlike Cowboy Bebop, and Dragon Ball, who's writers and director flat ignored the original creator.

    What sort of Self-Inserts are annoying

    The MC treating everyone as an NPC to quest for, kill, or collect. And everyone act like an NPC because the whole world revolves around the MC. Many a fanfic, harem, and cultivation story does exactly this.

    Are loser protagonists really relatable?

    It's a generic catch-all imo. Can't be a loser if you're the best at something, but you sure as hell can be a loser just by being middling and you piss off the top tier by just existing.

    When is a story considered ecchi?

    See, that's a tough question. I don't consider either ecchi. It's similar to the question: What is porn? The US court stance is: You'll know it when you see it. Like Michaelangelo's Davis being all nude isn't echi or porn. And girls talking about their breasts hurting from growth isn't either...

    After arguing with people on reddit, I've come to realize how highly intelligent people on this forum are.

    It's a numbers thing. The more people you get, the more pants on head ridiculous people there are. Like if only 1 in 10 people piss in the pool, it's manageable when there's only 100 people there at a time. But jump that number to a million, and suddenly you got 100,000 pool pisser's.

    Puppets are ugly

    I mean, just look at em.

    Puppets are ugly

    Example please. I've only seen felt puppets like Sesame Street, that Genesis Land of Confusion vid, or the Thing movie. Meaning I've only seen horrifying or caricatures.

    Any cool indie strategy and simulation game?

    Not really indie, but Squaresoft re-released "Tactics Ogre" on Steam. It was THE rpg strategy game to get back in the PS1 era. Though, I'd wait on it to go on sale. Square do be trying to milk their back catalogue by adding some unneeded graphical flare then charging 45 bucks for a 20 year old...

    How many chapters to save up before launching new work?

    Dunno about as a writer, but as a reader I don't bother with a story unless it's complete or has atleast 20 chapters. There's just a whole lot of stories that get dropped under 20. Generally by that time the author knows if they're going to continue it or not.

    Isn't paladin just warlock with a sharp stick?

    IKR! CN warlocks just miss the whole point.

    Isn't paladin just warlock with a sharp stick?

    See, the main difference between a Warlock and Paladin is alignment and costs of power. Warlocks often sell their souls for power and align with evil gods and demons. While Paladins sell their work/duty for power aligning with mostly good gods. Warlocks are also spell casting summoners while...

    Writing I need help!!!

    There's tons of empty coast line in many places. Take Oregon's rocky cliffs of a coast as an example. A date on one of the big rocks along the coast would be sweet. There's also lots of isolated lake side locations in US federal parks to visit. Or even mountain tops. Colorado, Montana, Alaska...

    Mc gender

    See, I don't see many authors actually exploring the genderbent perspective. I read both JP and ENG stories. Most gb has been reduced to a paragraph of "No my little man", a paragraph about uaing the bathroom, and one about bathing. Then the rest of the story is just cute girl does cute things...

    I'm not a gray

    Was about to say, "I don't think anyone thinks you're a grey alien". LOL

    I’m not a guy

    And I'm just a talking head, so gender is meaningless, and I accept all pronouns.
