Wow! You totally destroyed my argument and my hopes and dream with it! Oh won't someone save me from this shame? How could I have ever thought that an idea wasn't fully realized without it needing to be the focal point of a story? Shame on me.

It's literally a extension you can find on the google extensions store. If you don't trust my link look it up yourself.

I know my post is old but I thought I should update it since I found a really good extension for this it's called webtoepub. It automatically converts all the chapter links into an easy to access format. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webtoepub/akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm?hl=en

Adventuring guilds are a standard trope of this medium and I've had several grievances with it and just how practical it would be in a working society. In my mind it makes much more sense to have guards take care of that and not some random mook from the street, but that not what I wanted to...

But they would still have goals. At the end of the day if you want a sapient creature in a novel then you need to 'humanize' it in a way. No matter how foreign it may eat, communicate, or think. As an author they only know how humans think or behave to that bleeds into their writing.

Because we only have humans as a base-line for what a 'civilized' race should look like, even in stories. If an author doesn't incorporate humanlike traits into a race then they become nothing more than animals. Think about from Elves to Dwarves they all come from the human imagination and what...

Going off the top of my head I know at least some of these. Warlock's - usually obtain magic (generally evil but not always) through a contract with some type of entity I think of sorcerers/sorceress' as people who inherit natural magical power, while magicians need to work for it. Witch may be...

The idea about making monsters in stories civilized in nowhere near an original idea, but I don't think I've seen very many stories that do it well. The 'monsters' in fictional worlds usually are either just inherently evil or it's a story where humans are worse than the monsters. Take goblins...

This is somewhat of a weird topic to bring up but it's something I've noticed happening over the years as I've been reading. Obviously I'm a fan of gender bender novels and have been for a while but the topics have changed from what it used to be. Used to be that gender bender comics had no real...

My point with math probably wasn't very clear but I was trying to say math can't convey the 'concepts' of a regular language. For example you can't really say a sentence in math the way you can with another language.

You seem to be making some creative liberties in how you interpret your own understanding of how language translation works in a fictional setting and conjoining it with your own woes. First off, the protagonists in these stories never have trouble understanding the 'lingo' of other worldly...

Because often times (mind you I'll admit not all) the story goes out of the way saying the language gets translated for them. Not every Isekai is a wish fulfillment story some authors go above and beyond when it comes to crafting a story, but they sometimes get caught in trapping like I just...

The ability to understand all languages in a given world a main character is transported to is a standard trope, but I don't think it's been utilized correctly, to it's maximum, or even acknowledged for how utterly broken such as skill would be. I've always been somewhat vocal about my dislike...

I was wondering if there was a good way to download a bunch of different chapters so I don't need to worry about having an internet connection. I spend time in areas where connections can be hard to come by and it's somewhat aggravating trying to preload a bunch of tabs for chapters or...

Then you haven't been looking. Harry Potter has permeated society to a level few other things could not to mention making j.k rowling one of the wealthiest people in the world, and wealth does effected political influence.

Vampires being evil due to the trope of needing to drink blood to survive is weird to me. It depends on the media but a vampire feeding's side effects can vary from simply just blood loss, death, or even conversion. The most credible reason vampires can be called evil in media is that more often...

I didn't mention names so the original argument wouldnt be brought up. As I mentioned it was the reason I asked this question but I only said that for context. You dragging the original argument back is both pointless and creepy. How many stories did you search for before you found it?

Wow, you didn't understand anything did you? I summarized our argument a lot but let me make one thing clear the author was the one getting mad people wouldn't give what he viewed as 'proper' criticism not the other way around so get rid of that attitude. Stop with petty insults that have...

My name is a mixture of being common and having significant value. I was named by my great-grandmother after her last name. I have a one-letter deviation to it but my first name is ironically common despite where it comes from.

This question was inspired by a recent argument I was having with an author that basically devolved into me saying why does criticism matter to you you're making a porn novel. (It wasn't that eloquently but I digress.) The author defended themselves saying it was a romance story with porn in it...
