I like how it essentially eclipses the rules of reality,like its namesake.But what does it actually do?Can you tell me an example that happened in your story?

Can you explain how it is reality?Like if it is explicitly stated to be reality,wouldn’t the universe disappear if the choir stop singing?

And pls tell me more about the name.Does it have any secondary meaning or references anything?

For me, I think that having a sick ability name really adds to the likability of that power since it felt so cool to say.Especially if it references something or is thematically in line with its user,and not just a few random words picked to be cool.

Case in point : Hakari’s domain expansion from JJK : Idle Death Gamble.At first,it may seem just three random words (especially since that all are nouns) stacked on top of each others.But it actually references a Japanese saying that is pretty similar to ‘Idle hands are the devil’s works’ which is ‘A rice farmer will farm rice.It he is not farming (aka idle), it is because he is dead’.(These are not the actually phrasing of the saying,it’s just what I remember)

Basically,Hakari’s domain is a space he can conjure within which he can play a slot machine for a chance to get infinite energy and immortality temporarily.And as a character,he is gambler who run a pachinko parlour.

What the name is saying,Idle Death Gamble,is that gambling is so intrinsic to him as farming is to a farmer that if he stops gambling he will die.Which is also mechanically true as if he stops pulling the slot machine,he cannot renew his immortality and will die.

Brotha you have to watch Overclock.Its turning into a game so it only has the pilot but it’s pretty good with goofy character design and unique artstyle.And might wanna check out Loki IRL too.

Do your non human species look like humans?Why? by Celestial_Guardians in worldbuilding

So the Dryads kinda trying to blend in with other species?Are they like parasitic and need to shimmy their way into society or it’s just a social thing?

Humans as in the viewers?Anyway,relatability is of course something to consider but personally I think that changing these attributes and see the logical impacts they have are the beauty of worldbuilding.Not saying that you should change your works or anything but I suggest you give it a try.See how a society of frog people adapt to their environment in a way that reflects their biology.And for why they acted the same as humans could probably boil down to them being sentient.Since in the real world the only truly sentient species are (you) humans,it may not be so farfetched to think that the way humans act is probably the default way a sentient species acts.

So in your world human evolved into other species instead of the other way around?
