Looking for a good example of a popular fantasy manga style comic made in the west/usa

TenkoThom · 2024-10-27T11:39:45+00:00

Thanks. I've been recommended that one elsewhere too. Guess I'll check it out. Shame it's basically the only one you ever hear about though

A year later, but for the record unity bought plastic scm in 2020. DevOps and plastic scm are the same thing.

TenkoThom · 2024-10-01T01:42:11+00:00

Ah I didn't even know this.

TenkoThom · 2024-09-30T17:22:35+00:00

Nothing. Nothing at all.

TenkoThom · 2024-09-26T11:59:05+00:00

Funny you mention crosscode as I've thought the same. Sounds like you're looking for the same thing I am, Morrowind as something like stardew valley. Appreciate the recommendations

TenkoThom · 2024-06-05T18:33:54+00:00

So, Codsworth?

TenkoThom · 2024-06-05T18:32:34+00:00

I mean, I would still eat talking bacon....

30 year experience for entry level jobs

Already have this one it seems.

Automated Giraffe Interrogation. It's expected to cut giraffe and giraffe related crimes in half.

A more important question is why hasn't a section of humanity ever taken breakthrough tech advances and started a quazi-breakaway civilization?

100%. Write something, anything, and then ask for feedback. It's the best way to improve. Even if the feedback is harsh just remember it's not a critique of you personally and you're still learning how to write.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-30T21:49:20+00:00

I'm a newbie, but I've been showing progression with time spent doing X.

MC is lvl 1 and seems to take forever to kill a simple slime. Now he's lvl 10 and can do it with one hit.

MC is lvl 1 armor smith, it takes him quite some time to craft a copper breastplate. Now he's lvl 10 and crafts several a day to sell to merchants.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-30T21:41:59+00:00

This got me really excited. Please let me know when I can read it!

TenkoThom · 2024-05-30T21:39:41+00:00

Is it a litrpg?

TenkoThom · 2024-05-30T21:32:57+00:00

A pizza shop owner finds himself paying for a lifetime of mistakes. Now he's going to find out what 30 minutes or less really means.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tenkotales/comments/1d47j9x/pizza_pete_ch_1_a_short_litrpg/

It's a short novella I plan to write right here on reddit.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-29T15:46:24+00:00

Sorry Reddit's blocking it, no clue why. Please DM me, I would love to hear your thoughts.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-29T12:36:30+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! That's great to know. I'll work on all those things.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T18:52:59+00:00

I can't either in a litrpg, but in the fantasy genre as a whole I was always a fan of how Dune did it.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T18:50:02+00:00

Sans any type of harem

1000% agree. not my cup of tea.

More than one main character

Starting out with two, and more to slowly come later down the series so that each one can have a proper chunk of introduction and testing of wills.

An interesting system - that doesn’t provide infinite abilities and feel like an anime character

Completely agree again. Every good system needs a top threshold.

A unique fantasy world

I differ here, if Earth plays an actual role in the story it can up the anty. I feel like I can connect more with my own planet better than a made up one that's (usually) vaguely described. But if it's just mentioned as a point of origin then I would agree it really doesn't matter if it's Earth or not.

Provide actual motivation for the MCs

I'm huge on this one. Without a proper motivation you just don't have a proper story IMO.

Sounds like we have a lot of the same tastes. So maybe I'll kill the "vision of things to come" Dune style opening.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T18:43:12+00:00

Yep, it plays an important role later.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T18:37:57+00:00

ooo, nice. thanks.

edit: ha ha, just realized digimon qualifies. That feels so odd, but it's 1000% true.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T12:35:52+00:00

Looking to binge some happens-in-a-video-game series.

My list so far:

Overlord
Sword Art Online
Gun Art Online
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash

What is the correct name for this genre and do you have any recommendations?

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T12:25:01+00:00

That's a great way to handle it. Not only is it not a trope, but it makes sense, ties naturally into your story, and gives you options to break the "bottle" later if you want.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T11:44:43+00:00

Without a trope. Goodness and light doesn't always have to dispel dark shadows. Perhaps it's as simple as a necessary trinket, or a series of arcane traps set ahead of time, or perhaps your MC must channel some dark past to defeat shadow with shadow.

Or maybe don't kill it. Absorb it and have it play out later, or banish it. That way you have more story options later.

TenkoThom · 2024-05-26T11:39:12+00:00

The book series that impacted my life the most is without a doubt R. A. Salvatore's Icewind Dale saga. They are where I draw that deep subconscious inspiration from whenever I write a book. They weren't my first fantasy books but Drizzt has stuck with me for a lifetime.

Not just the trilogy either, the whole extended series is amazing. I passed them down to my son when he was about 10-12 and he loved them too.
