there's a reason why I don't read those you know, and it's not just because the author is so uncreative and unable to make an original plot that all they do is follow stations with canon
For example, there is this one with a MC who is a death knight
But think about that for a second, these aren't WoW scrubs, but CR17 DND ones, just one would have overrun baldur's gate (game ver)
So apparently "a big watermelon, cut in half, half for me, half for you" is a tai chi meme, you can look it up it's actually very famous here, like this is how they explained the basics of the basics to newcomers, and at the same time it's how all the experts in Chinese cartoons and novels teach tai chi to modern tourists
someone told me that in the Chinese version, "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" was pointed at the four houses, the first four Ravenclaw, the second for Gryffindor, the third floor Slytherin, and the fourth for Hufflepuff, as in these are the stereotypes of how they look at other people
Those Naruto stories where the protagonist has a native surname but the author's name, like "Uchiha Bob" or "Uzumaki Baoguo", are really weird, like why would they write it that way
How is it that Dragon Ball Super is so bad at continuity that they have the entire team get got by some dude who is just able to perceive things at the speed of sound, like this setting just nerfed everyone to being subsonic wtf
It still makes no sense that we just let Dr. Kuga live and walk away in Digimon Storytime, you know, like, dude almost destroyed the world with a super weapon, did took out the heart of your friend, did fatal experiments on a lot of people, wtf just let him walk?
If you think about it, Faerun/Toril/whatever DND canon settings and the Goblin Slayer world aren't really that different in terms of "deathworldness", but the Goblin Slayer world brought the unspoken rules to the forefront, which is that this is all just a giant boardgame of the gods, one bad dice means you're fucked. It's never played out in DND, some authors don't even acknowledge it, but it's actually the same.
Today I learned,
In Japanese surnames, "二" isn't as straightforward as in Chinese, it's sometimes pronounced in the manner of "it's longer down there", as this character for the number two is one short stroke over one long stroke, which is very lewd.
That one Angewomon SI is really nice, but it kind of went off the rails after a while due to author being too focused on Digimon series alone despite being multiverse, and obsessed with NEO of all things in Digimon, and then depowering MC, then doing this entire lecture on "dimensional power levels" or whatever
Look, I liked it better when it was two Angewomon lewding each other
Kind of like the idea of, you know, when you're doing isekai jump runs, one of them you land in a JRPG world, so you make a guild, and then when you pack up your guild and land in a wuxia world, you make a sect there instead
Every time I go back to the Mummy movie with the Dragon Emperor, I get more disappointed and disgusted by it. Portraying the Emperor as a tyrant because he used military force for conquest, but that's what everyone did and still do. Ziyuan cheated on him for his lackey, even today, if you're the boss, your wife cheats on you with your driver, what do you do? Lmao turns into a DND tiamat, not a 龙, wtf is this shit
Sun Wukong's 72 transformations are not actually forms but 72 magical powers, but Bodhi offered him either 72 earthly transformations or 36 heavenly transformations, being a monkey, thinking the bigger number is better, he didn't realize that the latter 36 was more potent, but he was looking for immortality, which was in neither, but he didn't learn this lesson until much later, much like all life lessons
