    What is "evil" to you?

    Evil is a choice. If one is unable to understand the consequences of their actions, then no matter how destructive those actions end up being they are performed innocently. Knowledge distills good and evil from the chaos of innocence. People perform evil acts for a number of reasons, for example...

    Best search engine/browser?

    I am rather happy with opera's browser. For search, I can't say any engine that I know of really satisfies me. I have complaints about google's search engine; I always fail the captchas it sometimes gives me to check if I am a robot, most of its results are heavily skewed towards consumer...

    What does it mean to be an adult?

    Being at least a certain age doesn't make you an adult; it just makes you a grownup. Being an adult seems to mean that you can earn at least a "C" grade on your patience, preparedness for hardship, and ability to maintain a safe living space. By this definition, the median age to become an adult...

    Changing themes in genres - Gender Bender

    I found a nice older manga that wonderfully expresses gender dysphoria, I think it was first published in 1997. https://mangadex.org/title/8b1fe275-bd90-4878-9fcb-e58922586ccc/blue-wars

    Looking for: naive succubus story with a heart of gold

    This one's a manga rather than a webnovel, but 'Saki-chan wa Inma no Ko'. A mangadex link: https://mangadex.org/title/de7b31a8-b932-49af-8a60-88003fa42360/saki-chan-wa-inma-no-ko I also reccomend 'Devilchi', and 'Tsuki Tsuki', although the demons in question are more generally demonic instead of...

    Changing themes in genres - Gender Bender

    I suppose you could say that the current trend focuses on the experience of gender, while the focus used to be more about the cultural and social aspects of gender. I find the cultural nuances of gender to be particularly engaging, but some older works hardly even mention the experience of...

    Edible, but "No one test it" til an Isekaiee said so?

    Rice indeed needs a lot of water, but it also has the benefit of growing decently well in dense, soggy clay. It also grows fine in relatively infertile and depleted areas because of how aggressively it uptakes nutrients like calcium, ammonium, nitrate, potassium and phosphate. However, it also...

    Why do so many Mcs have weird relationships with their little sisters?

    How weird are we talking about here? 'Weird relationships between brother and sister' is far more diverse than most would expect at first. On one end we have playfully suggestive; I suspect most authors are just using whoever is nearby for fanservice, which frequently happens to be a sibling...

    Student Stereotypes

    The supersmart half-ass. They get straight As without trying, and they never try. They hate themselves, but are arrogant anyway. They hate their teachers, but their teachers like them. They hate their parents, but their parents don't notice. They hate all the other students, but receive those...

    Where would you rather live in? A society ruled by the weak or the strong.

    What was the most valuable thing you learned in school?

    Can't say how to read, that was mostly pokemon blue for the gameboy color. Can't say newtonian physics, that was mostly self study during math class from how bored I was, having little to do with actually being in a classroom. Can't say hatred of sports, that's a personal conclusion based on...

    Why keep your illegitimate son alive then?

    It could also be explained by the world setting. The dastard father might have no moral objection to killing his kid, but instead have a religious fear of local legends of a wrathful spirit who eats the tongues and eyeballs out of fathers who kill their sons, leaving them alive, but mute, blind...

    Hypothetical: What if.... you are being groomed, but secretly you are....

    Being an adult, I know how to properly protect my own privacy online. I can maintain my online persona, or quit if I become uncomfortable. But any actual contact with this stalker can't possibly end well for anyone involved. I certainly will not go to the authorities. In my culture, crime is...

High schooler Noriko gets transported into a new world where she doesn't know the language, and is greeted by the reliable swordsman and talented windmage, Izark. While she doesn't...

    Your view on incest in fiction.

    I am mostly indifferent to incest, because I somewhat lack a sense of family. Beyond knowing that having a kid with someone sharing more than ~15% of your DNA is bad for the child (a cousin has 12.5% shared, as does a parent's half sibling, these are generally considered low risk of...

    Between Charismatic and Stoic protagonist

    Stoic protagonists, those who generally remain outwardly calm and rarely complain, can sometimes end up seeming uncaring, or cruel. For example Hajime from Arifureta, or Sasuke from Naruto. It's sometimes hard for me to like them. Charismatic protagonists, natural leaders who are charming and...
