    Advice that is useless. A collection.

    "There is no right or wrong answer here" - Some idiot whom, by his own words, cannot be right. edit: I get what they're trying to say, but it could definitely worded better.

    Headache Of Units Types

    In my country we use metres, kilograms, ect in school, but people often use feet, pounds miles, ect outside. It's very sad.

    Proving that the Star System is useless

    I guess the one thing they might do is tell you is how polarising the content of the story is. For example, a story with a comparatively vast amount of 5-star ratings, hence at a 4.8, nobody who read it felt the need to give it a 1-star out of hate. On the other hand, a 4.2 rating means that...

    Proving that the Star System is useless

    I'm going to pick a few books for study. First, the top of the trending list right now, "A strange new life.". 148 5-stars, 9 4-stars, 2 3-stars, 1 2-star, and 1 1-star. Second, at last place on the tranding list right now, "Slime Girl." 146 5-stars, 38 4-stars, 18 3-stars, 8 2-stars, 10...

    When rating something do you see a 5/10 as average or failing?

    Because 10 is an even number, 5 is actually below halfway (unless you are allowed to rate 0). The lower half of possible ratings are 1,2,3,4, and 5. The upper half of ratings are 6,7,8,9, and 10, As you can see. So technically, 5 is actually "just below average", and 6 is "just above average".

    What is your way of recovering from a simple illness?

    If it's just a minor cold, I'll just take some vitamin C. If it's a more serious cold, I'll also have to take a nap or two while ill. Oh, and I'll sometimes sleep on a chair instead of a bed.

    How you continue after first phase as author?

    I've learnt to write out-of order. What I mean is, I have two or three ideas of what I want to happen in the chapter. maybe that's the introduction of a new character, some scene I thought would be funny, then the next thing on my plot-to-do list. I start writing those bits down first so I'm not...

    The Morality of Accidents

    An accident is an accident. The only reason I might choose to hold them accountable is if I felt the accident was caused by some form of negligence on their part. I think I'd find it pretty easy to just say "sad but oh well" to non-neglectful accidents, even if they did involve people I know...

    Which Novel Arcs Do You Hate Or Dislike?.

    Action arcs in a comedy. Drama arcs in a comedy. It's fine if these arcs are funny, but they often aren't. Love triangle arcs in a romance. Im-going-to-show-off-in-front-of-all-the-young-masters-and-heroines arcs in a cultivation story- or in any story. I'm not sure if any of these count as...

    If you need to write gore once, I would suspect you're probably going to need to write gore again.

    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    I would disagree. Regardless on whether supernatural exists or not, there are very obvious ideas behind what a 'natural phenomena' is and very obvious concepts behind what a 'non-natural phenomena' would be; I not believe there is a good argument that these things are defined subjectively. If...

    Me after 5000th jap mc said they don't wanna "Stand Out"

    Have you seen "The Daily life of the Immortal king" at all? It's very similar to Saiki. K. (Moreso in the anime/donghua than in the novel. The donghua sort of goes completely off the novel in a good way. I like it more than Saiki K, but I'd also argue it's objectively worse than Saiki. K. It's...

    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    I think you are confusing "logical" with "natural". I think it's enough for magic to be some form of "supernatural". But "supernatural" doesn't necessarily mean "illogical".

    Me after 5000th jap mc said they don't wanna "Stand Out"

    I've tried to think of a few examples of stories in which the "I don't want to stand out" trope is actually meaningful and done well. So here's a few reasons I thought of. The main reason I thought of is because the MC wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. This is probably the most common...

    Me after 5000th jap mc said they don't wanna "Stand Out"

    I'm absolutely fine with MCs not wanting to stand out... ... As long as they actually act like it and don't show off in front of every single character the author introduces; you really wouldn't expect that to be difficult, but noooo. It turns out that it's harder to keep a low profile than...

    What Genres do you filter out?

    Of course we need to. We need to draw even more attention to these tags to maximise the display of hatred we feel towards them. And then if anyone has disagreements with our taste, we can purge the earth from their existence. (y)
