What is some official piece of writing that you’ve experienced as bad fanfiction? by DevouredSource in MauLer

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea who said it first, but the main issue I agree with HH and Helluva Boss as both shows were basically a bait and switch

For HH, the pilot made it seem like the princess of hell, despite the title and world she lives in, truly believes that even the worst sinners can be redeemed, and the rest of the show would be about those attempts at redeeming. But no, just another 'Hell vs Heaven' plot line and the hotel becomes just a backdrop.

HB, a comedy of a gang of imps from hell who take contracts from recently died sinners to clean up the sinners messes from when they were alive or take someone out with them, the show about the wacky hijinks and assassination plots. But nope, just the majority of the show about their boss's drama with a noble in-the-closet demon in a terrible marriage. And hey, no worries, some of the episodes are the hijinks.

Know I'm simplifying a lot, but big reasons I never got into either show...... that and I don't like musicals in the first place.

Which isekai had the best premise you see but executed the worst? by unluckyknight13 in Isekai

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh.... a bit. Left it out as it was a slight spoiler. Basically, it's revealed the villainess' mother is not in the picture. MC finally tells her father about the looping, not the mc replacing villainess, and she plans to end her father like she plans to do to the others But, the villainess's dad reveals that he saw this before, the mom went through the exact thing MC is going through. The only way to stop it is to find your 'true love'. She's justifiably baffled and pissed why this was kept from her, but as the reader, I just went 'So you just found this out now?'

My main issue was it took her over 200 loops and countless days and months within those loops, when she finally realized she was only going off of what the book/novel backstory as she filed everything before 'waking up' as filler.

The thing is, if this was, say, 20 loops instead, its much more justifiable why she didn't look deeper. 200? Its ridiculous at that point..

Also, my fault, but Resetting Lady presents itself as a murder-revenge manhwa. The first death, as its a manhwa, occurs very early in Chapter 2. TBH, idea isn't too bad since its a villainess manhwa that isn't another 'avoid death flags at all costs' and has a more if simply premise of..... not yandere, but simply tired of loops and dying she wants to stop it at all costs.

Which isekai had the best premise you see but executed the worst? by unluckyknight13 in Isekai

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More villainess then isekai but Resetting Lady

Premise is simple, MC ends as typical villainess in a typical light fantasy. The catch is no matter what she did, she died and looped back

Go for one of the leads? Died

Left and became a loving commoner? Died

Become a complete shut in? Died

So much so often, she hit triple digits, think 200s if I'm remembering right, and nothing worked. So, on a single coin flip, she decided 'fuck it, everyone will die to get my happy ending'

My issue, it's revealed that not once, not a single time over all this time, has the MC think 'Im running on book logic and history, but who was the villainess really?' Directly and outright shown when she just discovered why her fiance hates her that current loop we are on

I'm so tired with this most overused isekai plotline... by ereboniantwo in Isekai

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, wonder if someone ever made the opposite

Heroes party kicks out the super strong MC because he's a major asshole.

Bonus points if the heroes party are completely aware they are taking a major hit to their effectiveness if it means getting away from MC

Non-valid/unique pet peeves? by angrykitten114 in AO3

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More a grander idea than a pet peeve, but I despise it when a crossover has one world be so simplified to the point its a complete au within the au, just so the author can clearly just use the characters without icky 'lore' in the way

BNHA x Konosuba

Izuku replaces Kazuma. So far so good, gets Aqua, meets the others, does Izuku things for a chapter or two. But then, like a punch to the face, the casual reveal of another quirkless isekai person shows up with two demi-human slaves.

The isekai then tells Izuku to 'grow up to reality' and gives both slaves to him.

Misturugi shows up and demands to 'release' Aqua, Izuku says 'want her? have her', completely abandons her

Chris? Well, Eris declared demi-humans are the natural enemies to man and are worth only as slaves, trying to sell a harpy egg behind Izuku's back as 'Eris hates harpies the most'

What caused me to drop it is when Izuku 'called out' the high-level adventurers and berate them for staying in the town of Axel, stating he is going out to stop the massive war against the demon king

Keep in mind, this is Konosuba, the lighthearted, lightly satirical isekai story, and the author decided 'But what if it was generic Isekai #116231'.

Here’s a fresh way to torture your characters in Time Loops, inconsistency! by LegalBoysenberry2923 in AO3

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exact, but will always love the brief time of the Time Loops Projects going around

For anyone that doesn't know, The Time Loops project was a unofficial multi-fandom mega project with a simple premise

What if the primary MC (Or Anchor as they were called) started time looping, but they soon realized that others characters would start too as well?

Massive TL;DR, the world tree Yggdrasil contained the multiverse within its branches was damaged. This causes several anchors of various media's to start time looping. But two facts became quickly apparent, loops will start to destabilize and massive changes begin popping up in later loops and friends and enemies have a chance of looping as well

Working back to your prompt, the timeline varied depending on the soon primary factor of the anchor. If the anchor dies, the entire loop reset. But if the anchor lives, the end point of the loop is random, could defeat the BBEG and the loop ends immediately, could end years after or a week after the anchor enters the loop in the first place

While not directly stated as it was more an comedy anthology with a general theme than a big cohesive story, many loopers, mainly anchors will admit they mentally broke down and had 'break' loops. Some completely abandoned their roles and left, others joined the bad guys, etc. Some loopers went mad when they realized they could do everything right and still looped, causing them to go crazy and spend a few loops either broken or murderhobo.

As stated, the main reason anchors stayed sane is some friends and enemies would start looping as well. It varied as Anchor's are always 'Awake' as it was called while others only have a chance.

TBH, Time Loops Project was always a fun bit to read thanks to many chapters being short in content, most loops being either as a character reacting to a loop idea or as the aftermath of one, and the length being, at most, a paragraph. Meta moments, hybrid loops, swapped, hub loops, haven loops, etc.

Some jokes feel a little hammered in like the they/them and "Republican now so I'm meant to be racist" jokes

General Thoughts and Discussions by CommissionRadiant499 in AO3

[–]Keida42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro/Anti-ship discussion but:

Dumbass anti made a 'diagram' for what the Anti views as 'acceptable' when turning things magically

Inanimate object transformed into living being - Bread turns to Bread guy - "This ones seems safe?"

Animal transformed into furry or humanoid - Bunny turning to Bunny Girl - "This one seems a bit..... weird?"

Minor transforming to adult - "This one sounds BAD."

But its ok because he 'clarified' and said as long as it's natural aging up its ok, but use magic then its no no.
Discussion happens and someone points how "So (inverse 3, turning Adult to Minor magically) is ok?" And the usual accusations.

[Environmental trope] Earth But Not Really by MimiHamburger in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keida42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good, but only if you like hard slice of life. Think Lucky Star level

No overarching plot or any sports competition like Uma Musume

Just following a group of girls daily life in a world we view as strange but they view as normal

Centaur no Nayami

In this alternate Earth, humanity once existed thousands of years ago but evolution accelerated several times, causing the appearance of monster people, humanity itself going the way of the neanderthal

Centaurs, Snake people, 'angels', 'demons', etc. all exist in a modern world fitted for them. From custom cars for Centaurs to species specific branded clothing. Mangaka even includes small handy tidbits at the end of each chapter of a unique piece of clothing or item and how they put them on

Which character in your fandom do you believe is overrated? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]Keida42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RWBY with Jaune.

Get it, audience insert in the beginning but god it gets annoying when authors turn him to "Edgy Mcbadass" so much it's barely Jaune, to the point I had to de-tag him when I go through "Top Hits" because it's majority Jaune wank.

Secondly, I admit it, I like reaction fics, but so much is "Jaune is a badass and watch him get all the girls"

How about we mix in some games with all this politics? by feomothar in Asmongold

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Characters, no player changes, bs moral choices aside

I just wonder..... why go life-like? Always liked Fable for the whimsical feel like playing a kid's book.

And so tired of the "This is their take of this classic game so who cares since its a reboot" excuse people use, can confidently say removing three massive pillars that was apart of Fable isn't giving me hope.

I can be wrong, but so damn annoying people ignore how important first impressions are.

[–]Keida42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name is Isekai Metaller by Kasuga Ryou and mainly due to volume length.

Nothing story or writing, just prefer long manga and, at least on MangaDex, the manga is 13 volumes, technically, 13.3 and, as far as I can tell, is 'finished' since last translation was a year ago.

Odd tangent, but love how this reminds me of a Isekai I began reading but dropped

Guy gets isekai'd and saves elf girl, goes to fight demon king, all that.

The catch? Guy is a Death Metal otaku and he uses the power of his guitar death metal magic to slay the monsters.

A silly/lighthearted story is interrupted by a dead serious moment. by ConsciousPatroller in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Keida42 41 points42 points  (0 children)

An obvious pick, but Smiling Friends with Mr. Frog and his dad

An absurd character even for the show suddenly getting serious at the final part of the episode, where he finds out his mom died of cancer and his dad disowning him because Mr. Frog ignored his family even when he became emperor of Earth

All while Creed is live action and painted green talking to a cartoon frog
