    Read this really hilarious "Ultra Competent Sasuke" story, and there's this one bit where he copies Obito's Kamui, and then kills the Daimyo of Fire and burns down his mansion, and then tells the other daimyos that if they don't play along with Konoha, then "Uchiha Obito might visit you one day", and the actual Obito's like

    Feels like we're missing a lot of English resources; can't find any source talking about the Kongtong Seal being the crystallization of Human Luck, like the core of Alaya if it was in Type Moon, and being found in Shouyang Mountain... but it seems to be a common sense thing in Chinese sources?

    We're missing a translation of the original Honghuang book, the one that everyone else somewhat references. "Buddha is Dao" by MengShenji.

    It feels like authors who get "ambitious", as in trying to weave an "engaging story" with a "massive world" filled with many "alive characters", but forget their original premise, tend to write shit stories. Like this asshole who started off with "Urban Pokemon 'Cut Hu' Type", MC gets an Alpha Totem Magikarp before "hero" could...

    ...and then he never steals opportunities of that kind ever again.

    It just becomes a generic "big Pokemon on Earth" urban plot, and it's awful.

    You know, like, even his system cheat gets forgotten about, the supporting or lesser characters that showed up initially practically disappear for the newer characters that the author focuses more on, but they never have the same rawness and charm as the first set.

    It's like video game developers that either start doing what other industry specialists say they should do, or the industry trends, or listen to angry people on twitter or wherever, and then they chance the thing that originally drew in their original audience, but the new thing they're making is never as good as the "standard" they're copying from.

    It's like a writer changing from writing a personal story for a movie to writing a textbook one, with emphasis on motivations and conflicts or whatever... a "Hollywood" movie. But anyone can weave an impersonal narrative, and you're never going to be as good as the ones who do this all day, but you're ditching the uniqueness of your own writing in pursuit of copying others. So, it becomes shit.

    You know how "zhu" is the pronunciation for "orb" and for "pig", so a lot of magical treasures tend to be orbs, right, so this one AI art web novel kept on drawing the characters holding a pig instead of an orb, so you'd see this dude holding a little round pig that's glowing like it's a super saiyan and shiny like a shiny pokemon, and being so happy to have it and everything

    There's a saying that Momoshiki and Isshiki arrived so late, in devilspawn Boruto era, because they saw that Emperor Gai was in a wheel chair

    They never really showed Otsutsuki Hamura's wife, or Hagoromo's for that matter, but the point is, Hamura went to the moon and made a clan of basically semi-clones. So, what, did he just jerk off on the moon and his semen just turned into eggs that formed the moon Otsutsuki/Hyuugas or something?

    Because of the censorship, there's this meme these days, where instead of "fade to black" or the more popular "skipped 10,000 words here", they write instead "I know you don't like this lewd part of the plot, so I'll just read it myself and skip it for you"

    and you know, shortening (thus removing filler) and turning web novels into short videos with AI generated pictures depicting the scenes in the background on short video platforms is now really popular, so it gets a lot of people mad when the narrator suddenly says this

    Hate it when the author loses the plot and then starts filling filler everywhere; there's this one xianxia story where the MC realizes he's in a Battle Through The Heavens (Doupo) plot where he's about to divorce a girl who lost her talents, he stops this... and then the next two hundred chapters has nothing to do with this girl outside of her leveling up and being thankful to him wtf

    And instead it's filled with the most generic bullshit xianxia stuff that has no appeal to the people who came in looking for the "I'm going against the obviously stupid villain plot and gaining benefits from the heroes/heroines" type of story. And the author thinks trying to worldbuild or make antagonists would be better than actually building the main girl, or her circumstances

    So there's this old TV series where an asshole and his future brother-in-law went back in time to Qin Dynasty era, and Liu Bang, founder of Han, sold the brother-in-law to the palace and made him a eunuch, and the asshole protagonist kept trying to "keep history the way it is" despite it hurting brother-in-law more and helping Liu Bang, because "no paradoxes";

    But it's really strange that the ending is basically this fuck getting immortality and true love and happiness, off of the suffering of others, while forcing history to stay the same; doesn't he remember the century of humiliation?

    I don't understand how the wuxia realms came to be; (third grade, second grade, and then first grade of) "acquired"/"houtian", "innate"/"xiantian", and then for some reason both the next two realms can be translated as "grandmaster" and then "grand master" wtf, after that it's simpler, just "earthly sage" and then "heavenly being"

    I have really been having trouble navigating this site. Again my apologies for the trouble, I believe I made 3 to 4 accounts and all of them started with the letter b except this one.
    Any way please don't ban me it wasn't on purpose or anything, I only just found the rules on this site. All my accounts have the same birth date i and are only for the past few days. I only ever remember one of them and deleted the account info on my device. I am only going to use this one from now on. Sorry for the trouble.
    Okay I have been having trouble with seeing threads on flameclaws. Also when it kept happening I thought I did something wrong with my account. So I tried making a new one. I didn't know no to.

    Hello. I was told to come here to see , if you can solve my problem. I can't read any story , there is an error that says that I don't have permission .

    After isekai;
    My greatgrandpa is Joseph Joestar, my school is Totsuki, my childhood friend is Hoshino Ai, my neighbors are Yotsuya Miko and Gabriel Tenma, my landlord is Sanzenin Nagi, my homeroom teacher is Gojo Satoru, and my tutor is Yagami Light.

    I can't shake the feeling that I might not have isekaied into a normal slice of life anime world

    A new trend seems to be to split "traditional honghuang", where people die and shit, with "mythical honghuang" where eternal entities are eternal from the moment they become eternal; and they're like the difference between "high fantasy" and "wanked by a million hands to the moon fantasy"

    Apparently a common element in the Honghuang setting now is that Yuanshi Tianzun, despite awesome cosmic powers capable of destroying a thousand universes with a sigh and being unlimited and inviolate by time, is racist against anything that's born from an egg, or has horns, or has feathers

    If you think about it, Pom Poko would have been more effective if they were, instead of tanuki, like, you know, sexy fox girls who were driven from their homes by deforestation and now need a home
