    Things we all do but will never admit :)

    For me, just 1,3,4,5. Maybe not 5; there is no reserved time of day for climbing stairs slowly. Stairs are for running and stomping up and down to announce your presence to nearby lifeforms. Safely changing floors is what elevators are for.

    Flanderization.

    I thought for sure this thread would be about having a character die on Christmas.

    What would you do if you found yourself in the hero's position?

    In the first place, I can't live for revenge for more than like 20 seconds. I might not forgive the killer but I'd totally forget her because I am face blind. Being able to recognize the face of your grudge is kind of critical for vengeance.

    To native English speakers (or not native but you use it frequently enough)

    Literally everything is slang for getting drunk. Yesterday I drank too much and got totally doorknobed. Yesterday I drank too much and was absolutely saxaphoned. Yesterday I drank too much and felt so rocket scienced. Last night I drank too much and became positively microsingularitied. Last...

    Your favourite undying MC archetype?

    Nah, he was a side character from UQ holder. That manga had a whole bunch of people with different flavors of immortality. For example, one was absolutely impervious to harm as a fundamental law of the universe, but she still felt associated pain of whatever injury she would have recieved...

    Chapter length?

    I prefer to read chapters that are 4k-5k words in length. Less than 2000 words is way too short.

    Your favourite undying MC archetype?

    Respawn type immortality is always fun. In this one manga, a character would respawn seconds after his death, falling naked out of a rift to bodyslam his own corpse. He rarely had a good time after dying, because whatever killed him was still there and usually still trying to kill him.

    Questions about ‘Global’ Trope

    One thing to acknowledge about this type of setting is that the worldbuilding can be hard to sell, and readers may struggle to become invested in the new setting. Having the old world so suddenly depopulated can lend a sense of impermanence to the new one too, and plot may feel disconnected from...

    Dr. Stone. I got bored of it after a while, but I really appreciated that the science was a little more accurate than usual.

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    I do like the occasional bittersweet ending. One that stood out to me was a manga called xxxHolic. The protagonist barely escaped a birth prevention paradox by sacrificing his ability to be remembered. To all of his friends he would never be more than a stranger, and his parents straight up...

    Trash Manga, Manhua And Manhwa You Know.

    I usually do not remember much about works I do not enjoy. However, I have noticed that a disturbing number of manga have been glorifying slavery lately. Call me old fashioned, but slavery=evil was a basic foundation of how I was taught morality.

    Which Novel Arcs Do You Hate Or Dislike?.

    Townbuilding arcs. Nothing stops an adventure cold like a bunch of refugees deciding the MC should be mayor of their soon to be village. I seem to be in the minority here, because I actually like academy arcs.

    Favorite angst or grim trope

    I always appreciate an "embodiment of suffering" type villain. The kind whose power, pain, and life are all perpetuated by the fact that people still exist. For them to not suffer, they need to die, and for them to die, everyone must die. A righteous hero faces a difficult problem with such an...

    What Genres do you filter out?

    I don't filter anything out from the latest releases, although I have excluded everything at various times for advanced search. There is a need to announce my vote when it is already publicly visible, because the poll won't let me vote for nothing.
