That's more 1's per 1 than number 1.

Trauma is literally the engine driving her magic so, to paraphrase Strongbad: Flagrant Fiction Error World Over. Trauma = Very Yes. But she does get a fainting goat who adores her, so she's got that going for her.

Bot-bitching post ahead: Just got this one from FF.net inbox- "This fandom". I don't even rate a scammer that uses the GOOD bots? WTF? Nobody wants to put in the work anymore. Bot bitching post END.

*thock* Was that a pokeball? A what? I just filled a tennis ball with rocks.

A wild Natalie appears! Natalie used Empty Flattery ...It wasn't very effective.

MASH, Firefly, and Hitchhikers Guide are probably the three biggest influences, if not exactly “inspiration”

Much as I hate to add to the Trauma Olympics, I actually don't hate it so let's go: •Indoctrinated child soldier •Trained to fight devils •Nuke ability is literally weaponized trauma •Watched her first squad die one by one over the course of days •Blames herself for each one •Dove headfirst...

I did...but you can't tell the sites that the prologue is Chapter 0, the overall effect was basically "Chapter 2:Chapter 4". Not confusing at ALL...

I don't know why, but I was really resistant to the idea of adding chapter titles. I preferred to just number them. Thing is, most sites automatically number them and I use prologues and that just throws everything off. So I got over it and wanted to show off the newly-minted chapter titles...

Yeah, see this is a big reason I roll my eyes when people say to write the meta. It sometimes feels like isekai-like or LN-like titles are almost a requirement, along with the nobody protagonist who happens to be smarter/cooler than the inhabitants of the world because they understand the meta...

Sorry, I probably should have been clearer about what I meant by "getting" it. I'm not assuming one single reason why people like the genre, it was more like I didn't get the point of it existing in the first place. It felt like a hyper-specific trope applied to a broad category of fiction...

As the title says: boring navel-gazing ahead. Viewer discretion advised. Okay, so I have a pretty long commute every morning and today as I was watching the highway go by I think I stumbled on the answer to something that had been bugging me. Isekai. I don't get it, not a fan. Absolutely NOT...

I guess...any codified practice relating to combat between individuals, as distinct from "the art of war" as in strategic practice for waging large-scale conflict. I suppose that could be pretty vague though. Is it only the traditional hand-to-hand and melee weapon combat? Do guns count? They...

Thanks! I hadn't thought of posting on my SH profile, actually. I guess I didn't realize people even look there.

Yeah, I figured the odds of the reader actually being from Japan AND coming here to see it were slim to none. It costs nothing to try though. Plus I think this post got someone from Singapore to start reading too. So, hello Singapore!

You'll get accused of using AI for writing with good grammar or three-syllable words. Don't dumb yourself down. Em dashes are opt-shift-hyphen on a Mac, in case you need it.

Just wanted to say hi to whoever spent the last few days binging my series in Japan…thank you! Hope you liked it.

Oh so we’re writing smut-smut. :blobrofl: In that case, I humbly submit Power is Mine by Lords of Acid

Here's an example. It's probably the most blatant one, should be easy to spot. For context, the MC (Eya) has just done something that caused her grave moral injury. She knew what she was doing and why it needed to be done, but it represented a relapse into past behavior that she had been...
