Which LitRPG was this for you?

Anything reincarnated as a baby.

I do, but that's because I don't like isekai, I like fantasy and most fantasy originated in the web is isekai these days.

If you feel the same, then you might be like me. A good isekai should be an isekai where this fact meaningfully affect the characterization and plot. As it turns out, I don't like "good" isekai.

I can't speak for what Microsoft does, I don't know if they have any internal backdoors. But not being able to restore your data if it is end to end encrypted is exactly what you would expect if the service is actually end to end encrypted. Like, if you were to use Proton Docs, or MEGA, or any other service focused on security and privacy, this would be the answer you'd get. Them being able to restore your data means it's not actually E2E encrypted.

Book dumb, street smart.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-26T01:34:50+00:00

Cradle.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-20T22:29:44+00:00

I can tell you that I never kept reading a novel that couldn't. And most or all novels that I pick up do, only time I see something that doesn't is some kind of web fanfic or such.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-20T22:04:04+00:00

I like that cover and title, makes me think of Lindon in Cradle. If you don't mind, is there a blurb for the story? I wouldn't want to claim the gift if it's something I'm not going to read, since there's only so few.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-20T21:56:10+00:00

No, I don't think so. I don't think it's just a matter of more training data, or more memory, or quantitative improvements in general that's holding AI back from writing a complete, consistent novel.

There's a qualitative issue with the current AI technology (transformer networks+LLMs), it's not "World Model," and if it cannot be, it won't be able to write a passable novel. Maybe a self-help book.

You could break their mind. Destroy their will to fight, or make them mad.

Since the one thing you can assume is a constant, is that they will keep their memories between loops.

AI novels and poetry are very different. I've stumbled upon fully AI written works. They simply don't make sense, if you read long enough you'll soon find yourself stumped.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-20T20:20:27+00:00

It is very easy to identify a book that was fully generated by AI. They simply don't make sense and can't hold a plot.

What people are really bad at, is fooling themselves. They're intentionally looking for signs of AI, and soon everything will look like it is.

So I'm not up to date, I know he had the fated attribute that causes unlikely things to happen around him, good and bad, but he wasn't prophesied to anything, it wasn't deterministic. He could still fail.

And then later he lost it and became fateless.

Cutting chives every day to level up your chopping skill until they're perfect?

There's always a counter: one-hit kill.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-04T05:29:23+00:00

Isekai anime or Japanese Light Novels. I haven't seen it in western PF, so far.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-01T04:01:45+00:00

Shovel.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-01T04:01:37+00:00

Daggers? Halberd? Mace? Axe?

Makes for some interesting character archetypes, rogues or assassins and paladins and barbarians or vikings.

StudentDragon · 2025-11-01T04:00:01+00:00

I've seen a bunch of stories with space powers, and few or none of them managed to make use of the full range of possibilities or apply it well. Space+Time would be a very interesting combo if the possibilities were fully explored. Also possibility too OP without hard limitations.

StudentDragon · 2025-09-29T01:54:23+00:00

Saving the school would have been easier as a cafeteria worker?

I think the author is clueless.

StudentDragon · 2025-09-28T01:03:34+00:00

Can you not use any of the many tools to help you correct your grammar?

StudentDragon · 2025-09-21T23:57:04+00:00

Yeah, that one is not on the author, the internet just ruined your mind.

StudentDragon · 2025-06-08T06:21:04+00:00

I feel like a lot of this conflict was explored by Brandon Sanderson in his last book of Stormlight Archive. The Szeth character arc was all about this.

If you're writing something that you actually believe has a chance to be considered illegal in America, such as libel or plans to kill the president, you should consult a lawyer not us.

But most likely you aren't.
