    There was this one Goetia isekai where the MC, after being defeated and all, and before the lostbelt stuff, developed a FGO mobile game and caused Chaldea to become bankrupt

    Inside MegaZam lives a Zam, and inside Zam lives many SmallZams, and SmallZams are made up of Zamatter, and Zamatter is composed of SamQuarks, and inside SamQuarks are LesserZamUniverses, and what lives inside LesserZamUniverses are MegaZams

    There's this one line in this one story that I giggled at, it's where she was being bullied by him (for training) and she's muttering like, "Hmph, I'll endure... if I can't beat you, then I'll marry you and then I can always bully your children in the future...!"

    I really dislike the stories/scripts that write "bargaining" like both sides moving towards a middle ground, that's so naive and stupid

    It ought to be more like one side has the leverage, so it's like, they stick to it, and the other side moves up until reaching threshold

    It just don't feel like a real scene at a market, you know? More like, one of those simulated bargains that shop keepers act out for tourists instead of a real haggling.

    Fish, I'm not saying that that kind of haggling process necessarily happened every time - a lot of the time the haggling happened once at court resulting in an agreed "fair price", and then departing from that got you the angry mob and/or legal punishment.

    I'm merely pointing out that it's not "sucks to be you" exploitation either - as Zam said, that's very much something that came with deregulation and capitalism in the last couple of centuries. And, well, "people trade at the legal fair price with no attempt to deviate" certainly isn't an especially-time-consuming scene.

    Procrastinate EX is on par tbh, I've gotten into a routine of "Setting up things to do" in order to procrastinate THOSE things so I can get other things I wanted to do done.

    Some web authors no longer just put a [brain storage] at the start of their stories anymore, instead they get creative, like this one I saw to day that went [This is a robbery! Hand over your brain!]

    and then I realized they were just asking for greater suspension of disbelief lmao

    It's weird, you know, on douyin, there's those AI-read short stories, right, like 20-40 mins long, and more than half of them are gender swapped from femprotag to malprotag, yet the remaining femprotags are more courageous, decisive, and astute than all, swapped or not, of the malprotags lmao

    I saw this one "parents got the wrong child and I returned after fifteen years" story, but it was written not as a soap or a drama but as a comedy and I couldn't stop lauching so hard that it's making me wanna write something like it too

    Big brother thinks villainess' acting is better than the newcomers in his company so he's thinking about getting her an acting career

    Little brother acts like villainess' system rewards are his system rewards because he reads web novels so he wants her to do more system missions

    Fake daughter heroine is like doing her best to be loved by everyone, you know, like an otome protagonist does, and already acts like villainess is her "first trash mob/mid boss" antagonist, so she's doing everything to try to get everyone to hate her, and it's hilarious
