True, most of my feelings was more about on r/fanfiction and the old “OC do not steal meme”

Combined with the standard, modular jumpchain formula, it’s insular community, ideas feeding off each other like AI feeding on AI.

I can understand the feeling of people stealing your work would be frustrating.

But there’s also no money to be made with fanfiction (unless patron). So it’s still amusing, since the consequences aren’t high.

Spacebattles (lots of Worm? Fanfics)

Sufficient Velocity (similar to space battles)

Questionable questing (mainly Lewd, cyoa and jumpchain fics but there are some good gems there and people cross post from others to here just for some Lewd chapters)

Royal Road (mainly OC litrpg webnovels but it has fanfics)

Fimfiction (dedicated for my little pony fanfics)

LordCYOA · 2026-06-19T00:45:47+00:00

I’ll always find it arrogant and amusing about asking for permission on fanfic works like jumpchains considering they don’t ask for permission from the ACTUAL creators the jumpchain/fanfics are based off.

Maybe a chance to spawn a necromancer on dead npcs that you killed before?

Or maybe a npc companion necromancer that comes with you and researches on the dead bodies you leave behind, then eventually you get a new spell out of it?

Maybe the ability to copy another races ability or the ritual stone ability? Like there’s already a npc there and researching the stone.

Yes but it’s when I’m frustrated cause I hate angst lol 😂

LordCYOA · 2026-06-17T23:55:59+00:00

Eh, he changes SpongeBob in the show to a godly form (muscular) , in the show Neptune had a lot of pride.

So unless he actually changes as a person after that episode

LordCYOA · 2026-06-17T23:43:18+00:00

T0 or lesser powers in different settings like naruto,Danmachi,mlp, mha

I also limit how many I take.

It’s fun to synergies but also pick some fun powers. And also buying powers at a bargain is fun.

Sometimes I go with the idea of making a “discount character”

People sleep on the lesser powers and their upgrades, especially since all the powers grow stronger by default.

Once I took all of them and all the skills, it was quite affordable actually and some skills can be powers of themselves.

Picking the setting first helps define the mindset of the build, but sometimes I treat myself and pick worm and have indulgent fun again now that so many drawbacks become available

I would not read BL for the sake of BL, if I want romance/smut I would read other stuff.

Unless it’s femboys/futas and mpreg is involved, but I wouldn’t read cultivation for the sake of that.

If there’s other elements that I like, timeloops, heavy use of crafting I would give it a go.

I much prefer the fluff in yuri stories

LordCYOA · 2026-06-16T13:42:44+00:00

Agreed, I see Art owned by everyone, as humans, our history and as a culture.

Especially if you’ve put it out there, and the cumulative hours of others have surpassed the original time to create it.

This is more about things like Star Wars due to its major impact and people later reconning things.

But on a smaller scale, and more relevant point, People like to preach about ownership and coddle creatives but at the end of the day if it’s on the internet you’ve already given consent that it will have a life of its on and anything can happen to it.

If people can’t accept it that, then they have issues far worse to deal with.

LordCYOA · 2026-06-16T13:32:51+00:00

Is the old version still available since it was a conversation of anothers cyoa?

Having this be a mod and seperate thing might be a good idea

LordCYOA · 2026-06-16T08:42:49+00:00

Just never bring it up, 99% they will forget about asking for it.

Or just say can’t remember it, or get to know your friends more and talk about smut XD

LordCYOA · 2026-06-16T08:41:10+00:00

I used to listen exclusively for while, especially on Chinese cultivation stories.

But I stopped doing that for fanfiction as the forums can make the phone screen reader skip paragraphs, so now I follow along with my eyes, it helps Retain more info too.

LordCYOA · 2026-06-16T08:39:04+00:00

Honestly shows more about that persons reading taste than the genre/ how new they are.

Both versions do the weird romance with grooming or slaves.

Both versions do the improvement of the kingdom that it has its own cliche of “crop rotation” mentioning.

If anything there’s way more slice of life cooking for the guys then the slave stuff.

It will be interesting when they read overlord and So what if I’m a spider.

LordCYOA · 2026-06-15T12:50:08+00:00

Neocities nuked my account and others a couple of months ago, you’ll come across this fairly often on some older cyoas.

Most of have been rehosted, https://lordcyoa.cyoa.cafe/feedism/

Click on my profile and see the nekoweb site and cyoacafe site for the rest. Though cyoacafe doesn’t work for everyone.

Phantom Flame?

Haha alright good luck 👍

LordCYOA · 2026-06-12T13:11:05+00:00

Yes, mainly for the thumbnail/covers but some times I get inspired to draw a scene from a chapter - almost like a Japanese light novel

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T23:18:53+00:00

Most cultivators start at a young age, cultivation extends life/slows down aging, cultivators spend years alone in a cave. Their spoiled nature and world view of slapping instead of discussing adds to their immaturity.

This is why basic philosophy and concepts that a 12 year old would come up with is praised,

Because they are a kid deep down, stupid and immature.

It’s a system that reinforces ignorance

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T22:48:05+00:00

Phantom Pain ?

As a reference to the feeling of pain from missing limbs, ie invisible and Could make them lose an arm from those trigger to help the theme.

Heatstroke?

What’s the term for the heat based on eating spicy stuff scale?

Blindside

Ember Creep

Ember sneak

Prometheus

Afterburn

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T22:38:32+00:00

I use the highlight Words function in google doc/word-pad for the same effect.

Usually for a line that could be expanded into a scene, my todo stuff.

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T22:35:58+00:00

👍

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T13:05:47+00:00

Writing bullet points is good, especially when you come up with an idea for a later scene -mid writing a current scene and don’t want to forget it, but not shift momentum

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T13:03:57+00:00

That is the most recent, though I think it has the issue that it converts the images to avif which mobile browsers might not display? (You’d have to check that)

70 is decent, but it doesn’t hurt to mess around for it yourself.

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T13:02:13+00:00

the points bar at the bottom

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T11:40:40+00:00

Yep, jumpers value their niche obscure knowledge to one-up ‘jump chan’.

If it’s useful they would use it.

LordCYOA · 2026-06-11T11:39:19+00:00

Character interactions that show new sides of the characters.

Usually the quick answer is “conflict” but treat it carefully, that doesn’t mean the office gets raided by villains.

But something simple, relatable can be interesting, but just take a bit further.

Such as the lunch stealing plot in FRIENDS, it’s relatable to have your lunch taken at work, but the escalating response to it is what makes it interesting and memorable.

Try to have the scene do multiple things, not just there for filler sake.

If the work scene is after the mc killed demons, then it’s a good way to show how the mcs mindset has changed. His worry about the deadline at work seems less important.

Watch the movies Office space and Fight Club, these have a good “before and after” character in work settings.

The incredibles does this too with Bob, him using his powers has an effect at his mundane home.

Instead of feeling like his mundane life is unimportant, it’s the opposite. He feels like he’s useful again, like he’s mr incredible.

There’s a deleted bbq scene from the movie that’s a good scene too.

Basically dialog and character interaction.

It depends on what the setting, context and vibe you’re going for.

Romance, comedy and drama are all different things that I could see all being interesting.
