Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

The energy measurement of N (number) followed by K (Kakashis) is actually very easily explained, because beginning of the series, Naruto is 100K and Kakashi could only use two A-Rank Jutsu, so everything else just falls into place.
You know, usually, you see how good people are in battles in Pokemon, or are obviously bad in some stupid way, right? You never see a trainer just get stunned and stall because they don't know what to do next and then get warned by the ref that they'll get a foul if they don't do anything, you know, like how Ash's Charizard got disqualified because disobedience
I feel like I could do a villain + game-system Pokemon story pretty well with this premise: MC.Biigoh had isekaied to an Earth without Nintendo, which merged with the Pokemon world, and then the "harem protagonist" killed MC.Biigoh, causing him to go back to the start from the moment he isekaied. So villain revenge on "evil hero" plus two systems.
They call the act of preempting a predestined lucky chance (such as Peter Parker's spider bite), usually by someone who knows the future or meta or canon such as a SI, as "beard cutting" in webnovels. It's a meme term. Anyway, most protagonists get a string of lucky chances, so the act of taking all their good fortune at the same time is called "shaved the head clean".
Finally found out why the MTL Pokemon stories have "pretty, young girl" as "Stephanie", it's because Stephanie, the character of the day in Pokemon episode AG034, was not named in the Japanese version and thus was labeled "Girl" in the credits, so these MTL of Chinese Pokemon stories turn many of the instances of "少女" into "Stephanie".
Character bloat is a serious problem in crossover type stories. Is there a means to solve this problem outside of just reducing the amount of actors in each story arc, or is this just gonna be a problem that plagues the majority that caters towards multiple settings?
I used to think "murderhobo" is bad story telling, but I've come to realize it's bad dungeonmastering instead. If people know that you kill all your problems and you cannot be stopped, then they stop trying to be your problems and try to be your solutions, or they plot deeper. Showing that interaction is great, but boohoo off my rails.
It's hilarious, all the Chinese Naruto fanfics have a uniform naming scheme for Inuzuka clan members. Inuzuka Fang, Inuzuka Woof, Inuzuka Paw, Inuzuka Fur, Inuzuka Big Fang, Inuzuka Bite, Inuzuka Tail, Inuzuka Howl...
魔兽 and 兽人 are "magical beasts"/"fantasy creatures" and "beastmen", but it can also be translated as "orcs". So when they translated World of Warcraft as 魔兽世界, they were saying that Azeroth is the "world of orcs".
You ever wonder if the internet came twenty years earlier, we'd have handles like "x.X.x_Akira-Atreides-Snowcrash-God_x.X.x" floating around in some forgotten corner of message boards?
