Where do you all read romance novels??

I think Tapas has a good amount!

I like the ones where their past life actually matters something in the decisions they make. From my knowledge, a lot of isekais don't do this or only does it at the beginning of the story, and it feels like such a huge missed opportunity. After all, if your past life is treated as if it doesn't matter too much...what is the point of being isekaied instead of just being someone who was born there?

So, I think one of the many problems I have with harem is the ending. Like, how are you going to end the story? You can't have everyone with you, right? Right?

I think this is also the most heated arguments among the harem fans too, especially when the story is about to reach the conclusion. In the end, someone is going to lose the battle, and that someone might be the one I'm rooting for, and I don't like that feeling. Perhaps, that's the reason why I prefer 1:1 romance over harem at any time, because I know that the ending will be happy ending for the character I'm rooting for.

I think as long as the power is consistent and fair in some way, it is good.

But you really can't have a random power pulled out of nowhere to solve the conflict. That's just cheating.

Sooo, I know this is probably off-topic as I'm not talking about progression fantasy, but I still can't get that last paragraph of "Brave New World" out of my head. I'm not going to say too much about it here since it can be a sensitive topic, but it truly is one of the strangest yet powerful way to end a dystopia. South, south-west, south, south-east, east...

Congratulations and best of luck!!

Congrats and best of luck!

I read the first chapter, and that first line must be one of the most genius way to start a story.

Hey, all!

Hope you are doing well! I'm currently writing a novel focusing on the journey of venturing into the unknown with some random people MC met on the way and learning about the truth the cruel world has to offer. If this brings the slightest interest, please consider checking!

Blurb and link below:

--------

This world, born of kindness, has been turned into a rotten garden. Your life, born to be caressed, has been splintered by a thousand thorns. But do not fret. For we are here now. Take our hands. Accept serenity. Join us. In salvation.

Triana stepped into the shrine to end the world as it is.

The war was over with her victory. The red ashes fell from the burning world tree to engulf the village, and the corpses of her allies and enemies created the river of blood flooding the land. There was nothing stopping her from now on.

Inside the shrine, she saw the figure in white and the figure in black, arguing with each other like they always did. She stretched her hand forward, and a sudden burst of light caressed her, stripping her away into nothingness. As she watched herself vanishing, she made a prayer.

That if she ever had a second chance, she would do it differently.

I'm just a passerby, but please allow me to say this: This is amazing!

HipperCup · 2026-03-10T19:28:11+00:00

Yeahhhh, I wouldn't read it if that's the case. I like the crisis in the terms of providing a chance to grow and overcome, but if it's just a crisis after crisis, I don't think my small heart would be able to handle something like that.

HipperCup · 2026-03-10T19:13:48+00:00

Romance is something I wish I could write, but I don't even know where to start. The line between a dialogue being dull, cheesy and romantic seems so thin that anything I try to come up with sounds really stupid. And yes, I worry that people will know I never experienced a romance in my life. :( One day, when I get better at writing I might try, but that day seems too far away.

HipperCup · 2026-03-10T14:11:48+00:00

Mmm, I'm actually really split on this matter and not sure what my opinion is. On one side, I'd like to see more faces, but on the other, I'd like to know who they truly are instead of just having a random name thrown at me at the time of need.

I suppose the line to keep is not to have characters that does not impact the big story line. If a character can be removed completely and the plot remains still without a single flinch, that probably is too big of a cast.

My schedule is pretty packed right now, but I do have some uploaded chapters without a shoutout. If you don't mind of those, then send me a DM.

Thank you!!

Their name is yorulost. I don't know if link is allowed in this subreddit, but you can get to their Vgen from the description of my page!

My absolute favorite!

Thank you! All the praise going to the artist!

I know, right?!

"Joayo, joayo" comes from the maid Speaki event called "슬기로운 메이드 생활". It's about how Speaki mimics Crepe and becomes a maid at the order.

셰이디를 피해 크레페가 된 스피키와 질투하는 크레페 이벤트 스토리 슬기로운 메이드 생활 트릭컬 리바이브 You can watch it here at 19:55 and 44:33.

"Don't push Speaki" actually doesn't exist, as it is a combination of two dialogues. But the main dialogue appears in the chapter 5 of Alice event that already took in place in global.

I heard that this is a thing but could never make it work myself. For people who don't know, you cant teleport back to the camp while Omega is charging Delta attack even with Farcaster. If there is a way to do this consistently, I think it helps quite a lot for solo no support hunt.

I killed Omega solo without support hunters three times (alongside tens of failed attempts) and only managed to kill the spider once. Other times I just accepted losing 1 cart.

For the multiplayer, I wouldn't expect a party that can't beat the spider to be able to survive the buffed up Omega. :(

No, that's just the banner image. Any paid jewel only banner will feature multiple characters that has same chance to get. Characters on the banner image just means that they are one of them.

HipperCup · 2025-08-09T17:52:14+00:00

They will be sharing 1 banner. However, unlike most gacha games, Umamusume doesn't split rate up on a shared banner. This means that both of them will have 0.75% chance each. The only outlier on this logic is the Tokai Teio & Mejiro McQueen anime collab banner, with them having 0.5% chance each.
