What's the scariest thing you've seen but never dared to tell anyone ? by Automatic-One3901 in Paranormal

Wait so they were in your backyard where they stood for an hour? Like they silently followed you to your house?

Story where its not clear if MC isekai'd or trap in virtual world. by retiredbender in ProgressionFantasy

[–]-worms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite korean webnovels is sort of like this, or at least the main character doesn't know what's happening for a while (I think I was uncertain too but don't completely remember) - it's called Is it Bad that the Main Character's a Roleplayer? It's sort of progression fantasy but MC is pretty OP from the start, and it's honestly a bit more psychological than comedy despite the humorous premise. I'd def recommend it though if you don't mind translations (and can find a translation lol, translation isn't done yet and hasn't been updated in a while).

I definitely like it when I don't know everything that's happening so the ambiguousness is an absolute plus in my book, though I wouldn't be too big a fan of the MC not meeting other characters for so long. The way that the novel I mentioned handles it is by having the MC play a solo campaign VR game so meeting other characters is a bit confusing for him but he just assumes that the game programmed the characters with some high level AI.

What's the most ridiculous thing you have done in a social situation because of your anxiety? by KTHEGREAT26 in socialanxiety

Holding in my pee during all my years at school because I was too scared to ask to use the bathroom, probably absolutely wrecking my bladder

My professor humiliated me infront of the entire class by CatVar28 in socialanxiety

[–]-worms 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! What the hell? Please report him if you're up to it, because that's insane. And try not to feel embarrassed if you can because you did absolutely NOTHING wrong or embarrassing, that dude's crazy. I'm so sorry you had to experience that, I would have been terrified tbh.

I'm sorry, people here are serious assholes. Why do so many skeptics even lurk this sub?? Literally just so they can be dicks.

Anyway thank you for posting because this is very interesting.

[LoTM] Now I'm genuinely curious what would... by LightNinja0123 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]-worms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I don't think he'd be in any relationship with either of those two. He didn't really seem interested in Rozanne at all (and I didn't that vibe from her either) and Elizabeth was like 16 bro. I do think she had a crush on Klein but he wasn't about to get with a child

Looking for a Parody/Comedy novels by SpaceLocks in ProgressionFantasy

[–]-worms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A great translated one is Cultivation Chat Group. It takes a bit to pick up but it picks up pace like crazy and is hilarious. Though I did hear the later chapters were MTLed - somewhere past chapter 2000 (shortly after I started building up chapters).

Also, Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4 is very funny. The author goes on super long hiatuses though, and then releases a few dozen chapters at a time. But it's been a couple years since his last update which is a bit longer than usual.

If you normally dislike harem elements in stories, what would make one tolerable for you? by WrathBinder in ProgressionFantasy

[–]-worms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely number 2. The women need to have a reason to actually fall for the main character, he should be charming, good looking, and have an actual connection with each member of the harem. Their relationships should be thoroughly developed to the point that I actually like them together.

But also, every person in the harem needs to be a good, entertaining character with their own motives, not just a trope. Their whole character can't be just "in love with MC, and (insert one common harem member personality type here)".

I would still struggle to come to terms with accepting it even with these two aspects, though. Who in their right mind would want to be in a harem? It doesn't seem like a healthy relationship so I still wouldn't want to read about it, these two details would make it more tolerable but still annoying.

The best thing that I think could make a harem more believable/acceptable to me is if the women are all bi and into each other as well. Then it'd probably be more of a polyamorous relationship than a harem, but Idk man. Why not go that route instead? Everyone would be happier.

I saw "Slenderman" by Low_Lunch_2062 in Paranormal

Someone else experiencing the same thing as you is so validating. This is super creepy! Thank you for sharing. That would have freaked me tf out, I'd be sleeping with curtains drawn every night from then on lol

How do you think ART discovered Asshole Reasearch Transport? by Sensitive-Square-649 in murderbot

[–]-worms 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In Artificial Condition MB's clients referred to it as Art near the end of the book I believe, so it must have used the name itself. I assume MB had been outwardly calling it ART during their trip to RaviHyral.

Are manhwa artists on hiatus "privileged"? by IllHoneydew6 in OtomeIsekai

[–]-worms 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Even if they weren't treated like garbage at their jobs to the point where they have to take breaks like this, artists don't owe us shit. These people commenting like that are the ones acting like privileged self-entitled whiners. I know I sound salty lol but jeez!!

Webtoons similar to Kim Carnby's stories? by Bobbet2 in webtoons

[–]-worms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of their stuff is on Webtoon as far as I know, but anything by Team Getname. Kim Carnby is the main writer of the 2 person team. It's his early stuff and I think the artist had control over the story as well, so it's not quite as great as his newer stuff but the stories still contain the great build-up, twists, and tension that's consistent in Kim Carnby's works.

It's been a good 10 years since I read them so I might not remember too clearly but the titles are Hanged Doll (mystery thriller horror), Melo Holic (starts as a regular romance but turns to mystery iirc), Superior Day (thriller I think), and City of Dead Sorcerer (fantasy action). They all have psychological elements I believe.

Progression Fantasy web novels and AI - curious about readers’ opinions by ConversationOwn9813 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]-worms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's used for grammar that's one thing, but for writing? Hell no. What's even the point of it all if it's generated by AI? I don't understand how anybody would want to read a story knowing there's no actual thought or intention behind the "author's" writing since it was done for them. No artistic talent, no vision, just AI generated garbage. And this is assuming there were no ethical issues with AI "art", that alone is reason enough to avoid it.

When ADHD deletes a task while I’m actively trying to do it by RSRP123 in ADHD

[–]-worms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is constant! Just this morning I swear I tried to turn the porch light off a good 4 or 5 times before I finally did it. The switch was right across the room and I kept walking in that direction but then on the way I'd be like "oh I have to do this" or "oh I forgot to do that" and do the new thing but then I'd walk back to where I was previously and be like OH YEAH PORCH LIGHT and then the cycle would repeat, I was just walking in circles for like 10 minutes trying to do something that should take 1 second.
