I heard on a podcast somewhere that there was a book that scared the US Populus in the cold war. I can't remember the title. I think it might have been something like "Why Ivan is smarter than timmy" but can't figure it out. The podcast said that is the book that got Dr Seuss to start writing...

So I am reading this story that is really good. I think I'm about halfway through and things were getting tense. Too tense Point being, and some people that are more professional can explain this better but lots of life-or-death situations piled one on top of each other.... well it kinda...

I know that suspension of disbelief is a requirement in reading fantasy but I see open world PK so often in game world settings it grates. A game has to be commercially viable. So they actually need to maintain a player base. Still with me? Well, 20 years ago MMOs tended to all have open...

Does anyone have any favorites in this genre? I liked civ ceo for a bit. Civilization starts with a village was cool for the first book but got off track really quick. If anyone knows of a book that they keep that the main thing it would be nice to know so I can check it out.

It is not a big thing but a small quality of life would be if clicking the links to kofi / patreon opened the link in a new tab instead of being a normal hyperlink.

I figured I'd throw out my own feedback thread. 1.) I've been told that I'm very blunt. So keep that in mind. 2.) I don't really like grimdark all that much. So if it is a murderhobo story I'd rather not read it. 3.) Smut. I don't mind a little smut but anything that is pushing scribblehub's...

I have been thinking people really don't share their opinions much here. I wonder if it might be because they are afraid of review backlash. There have been a couple people that talk about getting review bombed. Is that playing some part about how people don't write reviews?

Please guess and maybe we can find out if it is right afterward.

Yours truly is on the board of a small HOA. About a year ago, the former board officer effectively swatted one of the people who lived here. He of course sewed. This was to be expected because he is one of those people who are spring loaded to lawyer up. Some time later, in one of the...

?‍♂️?‍♀️☠️? Bringing them threads/corpses/monsters back from the dead.... scary.

I was reading a story where the MC had a dapper cane, a top hat and a stylish suit. Everyone rode around on trains and acted very polite. I was about to comment "Why doesn't this story have a steampunk tag?" but went to see if that was a valid tag. Much to my surprise it appears there is no...

Is there a right one to use? I find myself sometimes switching back and forth. Is that bad?

Looks like something is clogging up the tubes.

Anyone else click the next chapter and get this?

That might not be an accomplishment to many but it is a first for me. So yeah.

Stories I've read and liked: Chaotic craftsman worships the cube, wandering inn (The arcs with the blind emperor have lots of interesting buildings going on), Cast under an alien sun, dungeon item shop(Sorta? seems like the MC just combines random stuff together and creates amazing things) If...

Maybe I am the only one who is bothered by this but often writers have dwarves use 'ye ole english' to make them seem more dwarven. However, this creates a problem because unlike modern English where it is the same word for second person plural as well as second person singular old English is...

So was listening to a podcast about stories related to obscure scientific discoveries and one of them was about a kid from the Philippines that liked to collect sea shells. The prize of his collection was a geographic cone snail shell that he dug out of the sand while his dad was playing...

It might be nice if there could be a way to generate recommendations based on users rather than the current novel. Something like: <Click recommend> then it pops out a discovery queue type thing based on said person's past reading.

I'll do it for the low price of hearts and cookies.
