Neither, it's the fans. There are so many books out there, and I have so little time to read, that I'll hardly ever just go out and browse for new books. I'll check places like the fantasy subreddit to see what books people are recommending and why they like them, then I'll look at the synopsis...

I figured this would happen. People are just reacting to the thread title and not responding to what I wrote in the post itself.

DO ME A FAVOR AND READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE REPLYING! A couple years ago, Yahtzee Croshaw released a video while he was still with The Escapist on whether or not video games needed to be fun. You can check it out below if you want: That wasn't a question I ever would have thought needed to...

I'm still writing the part of Henry Rider 3 where she's trapped inside her world's version of DnD, and right now she's in the middle of a boss fight. The whole point of this game is that it takes recognizable monsters and turns them into funny parodies of themselves. Case in point, instead of...

I just don't see the point. Writing is only limited by your imagination, so I can't understand why people would be content writing about other people's characters in another person's world with a story they know never canonically happened.

I'll add soulslikes too. The Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne are some of my all time favorite games (not Elden Ring, though). I'll play through at least two of them every year. And that's probably why I hate almost every game that's tried to copy them. FromSoft got the formula down to a...

Real time with pause. I have never played a RTWP game where the combat didn't feel like an absolute chaotic mess.

Tales of Xillia. The gameplay is kinda meh, but the story is amazing. The sequel is okay too, but not a must-play like the first game.

That's only one part of the larger chapter. They're wonking it up pretty constantly throughout the entire thing.

So, in the chapter I'm working on in Henry Rider 3, Henry and her friends have been trapped inside their world's version of D&D, and they have to steal something from a colony of penguimps (half penguin, half goblin). I decided it would be funny if the penguimps could only say "WONK!" but I'm a...

I learned that Chinese restaurants will decorate for Valentine's Day while still playing Christmas music.

Those are very much still a thing

I self-publish my books on Amazon and then tell people to buy them if they get tired of waiting for new chapters every week (it doesn't work)

Fair enough. Like I said, it wasn't like that the last time I checked.

Can you show me in their rules where they explicitly state that ai generated novels aren't allowed? Maybe they've updated the rules, but the last time I checked they never even mentioned the subject, and banning you for something that wasn't against the rules (especially if you were making money...

Normally I would agree, but if a company is deliberately using predatory business practices to take advantage of people, they don't get to complain when someone finds a loophole and takes advantage of them right back.

The one good thing about Webnovel is that they have virtually zero standards, so there's nothing stopping you from having chatgpt churn out 5000 chapters of some generic cultivation litrpg trash and submitting it under a pen name. And from what I've heard about their readers, there's a good...

Depends on if they feel earned. A happy ending that doesn't feel like it happened organically, like the author is manipulating reality to give the heroes exactly what they want, is just as bad as an edgy "AND THEN EVERYONE DIED AND THE WORLD BUUUURRRRNED! BWAHAHAHAAA!" ending.
