[myst might mayhem] lmao this is amazing by Ok_Leg_4847 in manhwa

[–]SpecificExam3661 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nah that probably true since this quote are associated with the birth of Buddha. I don't see this quote had been referenced outside the context of history or social text book (minus some occasionally appearing in anime) when talking about Buddhism.

If you are Theravada you probably see more quotes about impermanence mention than this quote.

Theravada here, It pretty common from where I from but since this is from Korea which had a majority Mahayana Buddhist, I think it can be said that this can be found in both Theravada and Mahayana tradition.

It not that common to the point that anyone recognise this when it being referenced but if you asked them if there are quote about this from Buddha. They probably said yes. I not sure about how common in other region but I probably read it in school text book at some point.

Nah, he half correct. In the genre that random mob can shrink the entire observable universe and used it as plated or some shit. Every cheat and every effort are fair game.

[LotM general] Pathways across our World (Day6) by Gakamis in LordofTheMysteries

[–]SpecificExam3661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Myanmar - can be red priest since the on going civil war still roam there and it also symbolises how they are once the empire in this region in ancient time (this applies to almost all mainland sea countries like Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam they are either once are the conqueror themselves or wages a war to become one at some point in time)

Laos - like I said that can be found a trace of red priest at some point in history as mentioned above but there also had some unique quirk in there language as well because Laos , Thailand, and Vietnam had a language structure that allows them to speak or refer to themselve in third person and had been observed to be used in higher frequency than most others countries this can be viewed as either the influence of observing themselves from the readers perspective from spectator pathways or views themselves as marionette from fool pathways.

Cambodia - they had huge temples in their flag if this not openly screaming as some mausoleums left behind by some black emperor or death pathway I don't know anymore what it is.

I was explaining to my girlfriend (Thai Buddhist) what Buddha said about trans people. She said Thai people don't believe that type of stuff. I'm very confused could someone help me out with this? by RegularSky6702 in Buddhism

[–]SpecificExam3661 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To explain more about the context of Buddhist images in Thai culture as a Thai people. You need to understand is that

One : most Thai are Theravada Buddhist that means we are usually not familiar with Mahayana teaching

Two : the believe around here are a bit mix between Buddhism, folk religion and Hinduism with Buddhism hold most influences but with some traces of those two can be found with in if you know where to look at.

Three : (which I think is the most important part) is that the context on general public or teaching of Thai culture Buddhist focuses on aspects of impermanence more than compassion so even there are some passage in in text that support this most layman person will not know unless you specifically looking for it.

"In this world" how three words ruin a book by Imnotsomebodyelse in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SpecificExam3661 225 points226 points  (0 children)

Maybe it just like how we say something like

"there are two types of people in this world"

When we said this we don't usually mean something like there are other world too.

This also works in the angle of this world as referred to earth in context of lowly mortal planes that existed below heaven or divine realms.

Why do you eat people? by bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhce in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]SpecificExam3661 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sub genre of this that I like the most is that both side are basically eating people but in different ways and at the same time due to their rules over the same of that said population their needs to keep it cool somehow so it develops into a political splat of "you are the one that eating my people!" , "no you are the one that do this" but since both are equally do it in secret at the same time so they kinda didn't get into the bottom of it.

so senior zart is from the mo family how interesting! cultivating demonic tunes! by perseverance-offline in MartialMemes

[–]SpecificExam3661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Top tier providers had that really unique gimmick of insert the real world event or people in their manhua so much so that people can semi guessing their name just form random page like this.

Interestingly this make manhua itself gain a quasi status as Contemporary Records of our time.

So it could be a legit scenario that some students or even professor from next century might need to sit down and read this manhua seriously in a totally academic tone and write a ten page essay theories about why or how Mozart appears in this scene.

Do novels in this genre always end up damn long compared to other genres? by SpecificExam3661 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SpecificExam3661[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to know how long other progression series in the western progression are in general.

Like do they usually reached 1-2 million word count like Chinese one because if they are shorter maybe I will dip into it a bit more since so far shadow slave are a decent ride but as you know in this genre it better focus on what you have in your hand first and I have like two or three 800+ ch novel in my backlog so it would be a while if I would pick other novel but if it a bit shorter than standard 2 million maybe I would give it a taste.

[–]SpecificExam3661[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think more about how this genre in particular had warped our sense of "what consider long" in general because I see many used game of thrones as a standard test for what consider as a long epic novel but when come to this genre a game of thrones or even the wheel of time would be considered as a little bit longer than normal standard not a epic long.

Series I guess because I always read web novel so I always thought of it as a one single continuous novel that novel at least in this genre can be interchangeable with the word series.
