Underrated joke

Don't have an answer for 'most interesting thing I've seen someone reincarnated as' but I do have an answer for something I would like to see I want a reincarnation time loop. The start of the loop? Birth. Each life you are born to different parents under different conditions and have a...

I specifically am NOT asking you for your time, and I receive no benefit for you providing it or detriment for you not providing it. I receive no money, even if a million people read my work, because it is not for sale. In fact, the only entity that tangibly makes any sort of money off of my...

On SH and similar sites in particular, I've constantly put everywhere that I can that most people are criticizing things from the perspective of a product being reviewed, when for the vast majority of writing there is no product being sold and so such reviews are categorically unhelpful. The...

It's mostly a problem of authors not understanding what swords *are*. As in, what are they, actually, when discussing what weapons are made to do. Different weapons are used for different, entirely practical reasons within the periods they emerge in. People stopped using the longsword because...

'Lifemates'. Y'know the types, Mustang and Hawkeye are probably the best example though. The exact state of their relationship at any given time is irrelevant, they're together for life romantically or otherwise. I actually attempted to write a harem like this a couple years ago for an isekai'd...

There is an omni-exception to everything I am about to say, and it is if writing that story is literally your job However, all of the following: 1. If you have reached the end of your creative improvement with a project, or believe you have reached that point, there is no reason to stick with...

Gotta be protagonists. Antagonists have limits on what they can be (they must reasonably obstruct the protagonist somehow) but protagonists can be anything

VMMORPG but It's the equivalent to a Bethesda game and is as such horribly imbalanced and buggy as hell

I don't know if there are better words for my favorite type of fictional characters than the ones I'm about to use, but; Hybrids between Fallen Heroes and Sages. I personally call them 'Broken Scales' when categorizing my own characters, but there's probably a better term for it out there...

I'll take this point and run home to my secret cave of horrors with it to present a deeply unexplored space of Isekai writing despite three of the most popular isekais of all time (Overlord, Re:Zero, Mushoku Tensei) basing their entire protagonistic appeals on it: Why don't more isekai...

Even if it was written exceptionally well this would still be a 70/30 to me on whether I'd hate it or love it respectively. Even masterful technical execution won't necessarily make this appeal to me. The 30% of the time it would appeal would ride solely on factors unrelated to your question...

Wonder. I might hated for this, but it is so monstrously boring. Short, very impactful message... FUCKING BORING. I couldn't finish it purely because it couldn't hold my attention, period.

It being more likely to be utilized still doesn't address a single point I have made. Amazing.

By reading the review? I think you're confusing my plea for rating free stories as though they were monetized product with the genuine helpfulness of a well written review of a creative work. That review just shouldn't be accompanied by something meant to rate something that creative work...

This scenario actually gives you a pretty good chance to just fuck off and leave the protag alone. Like, seriously, you can just stop at any time. the antagonist of my current story is an embodiment of the '1mil to peel and eat an entire orange' meme, in that they could stop and be fine at...

It's very particular to myself and a very small minority of people who think like me, but my complaint is "god damn some stories seem allergic to the concept of narrative realism"

None of the fics that had them still exist, but I replied to a different post with the same point I'm going to make here. I am not selling a product. If I am not selling a product, a system that is only capable of promoting or demoting a product categorically should not apply to what I write...
