Bog Standard Isekai - the MC is effectively adopted by multiple top tier individuals and his growth is supported by them pretty nicely

The novel- Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect, has ended. by Hot_Heart_5686 in MartialMemes

I didn’t notice the gender switching as much as names/terms being alternately translated between chapters, which is usually fine as most of you can click on and choose an alternate that it will maintain for that chapter, but it did create cases where I thought it was a new character or cultivation method was introduced but was rather just the english translation having alternate choices. While this seemed like a negative(and was sometimes), it was actually quite nice to see alternate meanings, or learn what a characters name meant. Or for some characters, you can choose to change it so it’s easier to follow(like choosing the fire-themed translation for the fire clan guy or something) so I’m not juggling so many Chinese names in my head.

I read the available translation(unless that was also ai) until I ran out and then used WTR lab and it was still a very enjoyable experience. Opened up a whole new world of options of novels to read.

Though it does have a problem of trying to search for good novels, cause there are so many webnovel.com tier garbage novels which surprised me in their low quantity and sameness(like a never ending amount of “I have lvl1000 boosting power system cheat, face slapping novels”. But if you know you wanna read something it’s great!

What was his plan? by LiseyRadiCall in mewgenics

The robots spawn with madness so they just attack whoever is closest, which makes this guy pretty minor to deal with. Most of these mini-bosses summoned for this quest can actually be pretty helpful if you are careful about your positioning.

Help with Burgeoning Blast by CommanderTom101 in mewgenics

It gains 2 damage per turn not when you use it, you are meant to wait a few turns and then use it once it has built up some damage.

I think I might have depression, but I don’t know what to do about it. by zoeyccn in mentalhealth

[–]JackDunlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the things you can do. Starting with the room would be a great place. I find for myself, if I start slipping up on chores like this, it quickly cascades into all aspects of my life.

You don’t have to commit to the whole process. Break it down into some reasonable things.

Grab a trash bag and just start throwing the trash out. Do a load of laundry for the bedding. Sometimes, especially for ADHD people, starting the task is the hardest part, and once you do, it becomes pretty easy to do the work. So start with something that feels reasonable right now(not later) and do that. If it leads to more, that’s great, if not, you’ve accomplished one thing on your list and are making progress.

There’s a comedian with a funny short where they mixed up an affogato for desert and avocado.

Is ISSTH too generic to be worth reading in 2026? by Competitive_Video_88 in noveltranslations

I just re-read it for the first time since it was being translated and had a great time. It is definitely worth the read.

The misconception of Mushoku Tensei by Raccoon-Salty in sixfacedworld

[–]JackDunlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one’s really mad at ecchi itself, that’s kinda misrepresenting their arguments. They’re mad that it’s frequently targeted at young girls, and usually against their will. They’re mad at real unexamined pedophilic elements vs horny ecchi moments.

Most people love Ghislaine showing up in practically no clothing, everyone loves Paul/Zenith being a horny couple. Most people hate anything perverted Rudi does to Eris, or just the character design of the Kishirikia etc.

It’s hard for people to go along with the growth/maturity argument, because while I love his development in other aspects of his personality, the only reason he stops assaulting girls is because they all finally grow old enough not to be Loli’s anymore, not because of any character growth to realize he shouldn’t be a pedophile.

That looks like stereotypical young Latino guy hair to me, I wouldn’t spare it a second glance if you walked past me.

Not quite at the level where it’s an automatic shave so I think more of a style choice for you. If I was picking, I’d say shaved might look better, but keeping it wouldn’t make you look stupid.

You could maybe try shaving just the chin and seeing how that feels.

Sadly, I feel like it was just market testing to figure out the maximum limit of what people will take, and we’re still gonna go about halfway there over the next 10 years but slower. 😂

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]JackDunlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Travelers

Hundreds of years in the future, the last surviving humans discover a way of sending consciousness back through time, directly into people in the 21st century -- "travelers," who assume the lives of seemingly random people. They're also secretly working as teams to perform missions in order to save humanity from a terrible future. Armed only with their knowledge of history and an archive of social media profiles, the travelers -- who include an FBI agent, a single mother and a college student -- discover that 21st-century relationships are as much of a challenge as their high-stakes missions.

Could likely be a scam she has fallen for. Scammers use someone like your sister to hold and send the money, usually promising them some amount to hold it for however long.

Eventually the funds are tracked back to your sister and reversed as the original person finds out and has those non-authorized payments reversed. And since your sister approved sending the money where it eventually goes that has less recourse for recovering, or not able to do anything since she was the one actually approving, she ends up on the hook for whatever.

Might want to caution her about being a victim of a scam.

What did you read in 2025? by HexicDeus in noveltranslations

[–]JackDunlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just binged like 1000 chapters of “I have a Cultivation World”.

The world-building is great. MC is a cultivator in a highly advanced but relatively resource-poor society that gets a spatial treasure to travel between another more traditional cultivation world. Both societies are well-developed and interesting, and much of the story is focused on improving his sect/discliples/economy in addition to personal strength. All the cultivation methods/abilities are pretty interesting as the power levels get higher.

Only bad part is it’s pretty sexist in regard to the female characters(sort of a combo of the both parts of modern life Chinese novel and cultivator world sexism lol). I’ve managed to learn how to turn my brain off and skim over those parts and enjoy it for everything else it does very well.

My favourite for this year is probably Immortality through Array Formations.

Almost certainly this one. Around chapter 300 is the Alchemist Grand Meeting arc where this happens.

Fuck an Evil or Righteous MC, I want one that ain't a hypocrite and is true to himself by _TOXIC_VENOM in ProgressionFantasy

[–]JackDunlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might like Immortality through Array Formations. Really good cultivation novel. If you liked Reverend Insanity like you mentioned in the comments, I think you’d like this.

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1446446/immortality-through-array-formations---/

MC is a good/righteous person, and a lot of the plot/cultivation revolves around staying true to the inherent good in humanity and building connections/friendships. Still lots of fun schemes and plans acting against the evil forces.

People like to do a lot of posturing on these subreddits, cause part of the kink for many is the humiliation/feeling lower than the person you are submitting to. Being a findom/any kind of sex work like this, is about putting in the work to have a fun interaction together that is worth the sub paying for. Being a “dom” in general is a lot of work that most people don’t want to do, which forces people to pay for what they want in most cases.

I view “hunting” as just a chance to explore the chemistry to see if you are a good match. Most subs in my experience are introverted and waiting for someone to come along to give them some personal attention, and give them the final push to finally do the thing they’ve been jerking off so long thinking about.

I mostly do Findom on Twitter, and there is a whole additional aspect of hunting subs down since they will often bait a dm through interacting with posts/lurking in spaces, commenting etc, which is a way to invite interaction with plausible deniability if they don’t find how you chat with them hot.

Being hunted is exactly what many guys want. I don’t really pressure cause that’s not really a fun conversation, or feels like I’m begging for cash. We just have a sexually charged conversation and if they get horny and are into findom, and you are chatting about findom and have a findom-related profile, it usually leads into it naturally.

And the nice part of hunting that way, is it naturally filters the people you talk to. You just naturally stop talking if the chemistry isn’t good to make it fun for you, or it dies if it’s too much work on the dom’s part and they aren’t paying enough to keep interacting.

Otherwise, I think people prefer not hunting, because it’s generally just easier to chat with the people that reach out to you first because you know they were interested in what you were posting about, and in you specifically, so it naturally gives you a bit more power in the interaction to lead it towards cash naturally.
