    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    The most annoying part is that reminds me of a Rimworld/ASOIAF fic idea I had. Mechanitor ends up in Westeros (on an unhabitated place in the North) with a couple mechanoids. 5 Agrihands 5 Constructors 5 Cleansweepers 5 Lifters 5 Militors 5 Scythers Why all those mechanoids? Because I...

    There is another reason. The Chinese state was all willing to allow development of new weapons because that could desestabilize the system. There is also the market factor. No demand. No development. No production. I can buy someone inventing something, but that means a new product, not 'lol...

    Don't you know? World development is like a CIVILIZATION GAME. I can buy someone being able to make a Guntenberg machine. Now make an industrial revolution? Nah. That is impossible. The industrial revolution requires a WHOLE ECONOMICAL/SOCIAL/CULTURAL ecosystem which are just absent from Westeros.

    "I am in Westeros, Printing Press!" Me: Oooookay...now an important question. How that means 'industrial revolution'? At best you are creating a new product that people can buy, but nothing else. And it will also depend if people NEED it even.

    Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    The only way a Star Sector fic can work is via inserting a character there. Like. What if Issei awakened as the 'Player Character' in Star Sector?

    Essays, Treatises, and Other Pretensions

    The main issue with the trolley problem is that it is not a ethics problem. It is a scenario in which the thought experiment is 'when ethics DO NOT exist in a scenario, what do we do?' Those kinds of scenarios work best when you tried to not come to this point, but it came at this point and...

    That makes sense. It would require work so it doesn't end up in something non sense.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    The issue is that both loop into this point. "Stations of Canon. So you do nothing." Like. Again, if you won't change the setting. If the main characters won't be relevant so 'plot' is stable because 'selfish bad' or your acts are irrelevant...and you 'leave plot behind'...

    Might be novel to think Rias is some sort of serial killer... Or think about Asia as a manipulative girl in disguise... Or Akeno as a sadist murderess...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Can I just say how much I hate SIs who go for a canon character, they start getting feelings for one and another then he goes full 'BUH MUH CANON'. Argh. Or the ones who think to be some sort of time guardian to say shit like 'X must Happen so Y happens'. GRRRRR! Or the worst ones! They...

    True, but up to a point you must be used to that tbh.

    It might piss Terraforma, since I don't intend to have Asia with Issei, yeah, I know it is self indulgent, but I will try to make it fun at least, and it isn't as if SIs remain as our avatars for as much as 30 seconds after the fic starts. Issei boy might keep his harem thought. It will be a...

    My rough idea is a slice of life/episodic/a bit soap opera-ish character centric tale, more centered around SI trying to understand and figure it out why an anime exists as a real world while dealing with stuff. He is after answers.
