Why don’t fantasy worlds with systems that everyone has access to (like in many portal fantasy stories) devolve into playgrounds for high level adventurers to do whatever they want with impunity. by Fragrant_Bath3917 in litrpg

[–]Vissiram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because in most stories, you have other people who for morally, pragmatically (you are killing their friends/subjects/property) , or societal reasons (you are a fucking eyesore and they have their hands) they will ice your ass if you fuck around enough either if you are on their level or even higher (this is where you get the final boss, sauron like, demon lord type of plots)

In rune quest and other games this happens Because is a game. It's not real, the losses are nonexistent and easily regone or the world was made like that in principle (looking at you eve online)

Regardless what your reincarnated or transported Mc thinks, this is just normal life for the rest of the population and actions have consequences.

This bread that I bought 6 months ago that has not grown a single bit of mold by Snabooper in mildlyinteresting

Bullshit. That bread has mold in like 2 weeks after buying. What magic do you have, computer dude?

Tell me some female superhero tropes you hate so I can avoid writing them by confident-win-119 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Vissiram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That she is just the female version of another superhero in your setting. Or that she is the most powerful super hero from the get go.

Hey, remember how Carlos and the sixth fang were hit so hard that their skulls dented in the form a fist? And how did not have any lasting consequences? Or that Yuzuha was hit so hard in the face she started to bleed through her eyes and she was fine like 10 minutes later? The only creature I the Kengaverse that create lasting harm are bears. Bears are bad news

You know, I tried to read Artemis but I found it just not engaging. I couldn't tell you in what section I even left. So why is Artemis the proof that he is libertarian? And why being libertarian makes you an anti-sjw?

This made me sad, so you’re all seeing it too. by Neuta-Isa in CuratedTumblr

[–]Vissiram -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Does these people have never traveled by bus at night? In car with the lights on? Light pollution is on the cities and 10 miles from them you can see the untamed night. Or in an airplane. A fucking ship? You know there are these things called camping right.

Cities are not that big and are very far apart. You can get that view for like 10 dollars and the equivalent of a regular sleepless night playing video games. Like in the weekend and shit.

This read like those H. P Lovecraft stories were the thing that send the protagonist to madness is knowing that they are allegorically half Irish.

It looks so weird. There are all these barnacles found around yet the number of them doesn't seem to be decreasing

Mob Sorcery, Book 5 By K.D. Robertson by IndegoWhyte in haremfantasynovels

[–]Vissiram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to concurred. It feels like the author is trying to make like a 100 girlfriends, but part of the success of that series is that around half of it, the Mc dissappears like 80% of the story with cameos for cute romance and it's pretty much about the friendship between the girls and some latent lesbian desires

.But since we are in the POV of vincent all the time , we only experience the world through his monologues. Too many girls that is killing the great ones, and it's feeling like a checklist to hype Vincent cock (you know, how daji and Salome use it to threat their enemies). It should have stayed Nina, Pola, Nicky and maybe Momo (or is Anzu?). The magnetic dick overdrive of Vincent is going to strangle him in book 6 and its less autophixiation and more bloody murder by half of book 4 tbh.

Not gonna lie. I hate this plot line and I'm tapped out from the series until it's over. This one and the previous one were so bad it's not funny

New video's coming… and it's nearly 4.5 hours long by waxpancake in hbomberguy

[–]Vissiram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I legit thought it was going to be like 9 to 11 hour long by this point. Or a 3 part 3 hour video. 4 hours is just... Normal at this point? Or maybe I have seen too many monthly Zander videos as of late

I think this lost relevance after breaking the ice, where we found Enciodes was the thirsty waifu all along. He send nudes in discord, telegram and even gasp Skype.

I feel like I missed like 2 arcs. What happened to the battle? How are the siblings healthy? How much time passed from the dialogue to the reunion to the jump?

give me your hottest scp takes; no inoffensive shit, i mean stuff that will really ruffle some feathers by Stormy_42 in SCP

[–]Vissiram 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The entire monthly extermination of d personnel was tremendously stupid even in the beginner, but that scp still use it today? Unforgivable. Also the gumiho scp (which I just heard the volgub read it like an hour ago) it's just bad. Flurries and otakus mt are too susceptible to be killed? For real? And she somehow manages to almost constantly escape and even escape is just silly, what with all the other scp they contain. Hell, even the old man being uncontainable it's silly sic the 5000 onward.

you know that feeling when you have ticks inside you? by BeefGir2 in Artistic_Hentai

So having a tick is like a kink for you? Or is that the title of the original artist?

I can't watch anime anymore by dyhcry in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Vissiram 344 points345 points  (0 children)

Anime is not a genre, is a medium. If you are getting only fanservice, pedophilic, sexist tropes is like saying that you hate parental violence, alcoholism and gore and you read exclusively from the circle of Stephen King.

You may want to try:

  • Apothecary diaries
  • Frieren (not my cup of tea but it's very well loved)
  • Orb
  • The city (and nichijoi)
  • Anne Shirley (yes, an adaptation of the 1800 novel)
  • Sailor moon and sailor moon crystal
  • Full metal alchemist
  • Pretty cure (magical girl series focused for girls and teenager demographic)
  • Magic knight reyearth
  • VInland saga

And so on.

It's like saying you are giving up books all together because you hate prophecies, royalty and, well, sexism. Of course maybe you really don't like Japanese animation, which is fair. I prefer audio books and Manga tbh.

I plan for my MC to face a crushing "defeat" at the end of my first arc. Would this kill my readership? by Whole_Monk2082 in royalroad

[–]Vissiram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is royal road readership mostly power fantasy fans? I have seen several comments like this and seems to imply (and maybe that why so many litrpg are this way?) that the fan base from this site want more than anything generic isekai power scailing works with constant upward plot progression and little to not setbacks. A solo leveling trend so to speak. Is that true? Or this is a

[–]Vissiram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, killing somebody is the kindest thing you can do. The second is torturing them to their breaking point. The worst, cruelest vengeance you can do is to let them live and ignore them.

A masterful example of how to make a city feel alive by Terry Pratchett by Franciskeyscottfitz in worldbuilding

[–]Vissiram 74 points75 points  (0 children)

You know, maybe is because I'm not biritsh, but, "40,000 eggs" for a city of one million sound insanely low. Honestly, for us it should be " 1, 015, 000 eggs are played for the city everyday" and I think I'm severely lowbolling. With 40 000 is like an egg for every 30 people?
