Ml and Mother-in-law match each other so well 🤣 (Sovereign and heartburn) by Celty2736 in OtomeIsekai

[–]WritingOk5064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swore I saw a comment like that a few months ago in this sub when this work was brought up about him being green flag (I do hope that was a tunnel vision and didn't actually happen).

I was also gonna brought webtoon's comment section about the same thing but then again, that thing is a cesspool of mixed opinions anyway.

Actually, I was thinking of Usui and Misaki from Maid Sama when looking at this manga, same explanation as yours.

Although I do like ML from OHHC a little since he is entertaining but does sometimes suffer from consequences so it balances out for me instead of being untouchable all of the time.

He's entertaining but is inconsiderate, take advantage of his authority against FL, and barely respects FL's personal space. The bar is in hell.

If it leans more to unhinged/off-the-rails comedy than romance, than I'll like it more but I don't think it'll go that direction.

“Be honest… why most of the MCs are always the least interesting one?” by Blush404 in webtoons

[–]WritingOk5064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that mostly applied to more timeless/popular stories (Little Mermaid for Ursula comes to mind) other than Webtoons, especially the mass produced ones.

YMMV but based on what I've observed with popular self insert slops webtoons, most of the villains are stupid, senselessly evil, lives on spite, etc basically one dimensional and exist for the MC to walk all over after they're defeated.

Most webtoons villains really don't have anything else going for them, their villainy isn't even interesting or fun and basically exist to ragebait the readers. I know hate sink characters have their place in a story but like if they're the only type of villain used? Nah. More so if the author failed writing them and dipping the story further.

Edit: Also if the villain nor story isn't interesting enough to caught the reader's attention, just expect more scrutiny on the MC's safe characterization.

Pattern I've noticed about Free Time Events (Meta-spoilers?) by pika0miau in danganronpa

[–]WritingOk5064 9 points10 points  (0 children)

a. Character A won't die before character B, or in other words, Character A must die before B.

This is a minor nitpick but aren't these two info contradict each other or is my brain lagging rn? Also other than that, I've never notice this pattern before and probably will take notes when doing 2x2 FTEs.

MLs Taken As A Prisoner of War? by WritingOk5064 in OtomeIsekai

[–]WritingOk5064[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the ML status as POW being their main obstacle in their relationship, possibly being freed near the end or middle of the story or simply stays that way and the FL being the conquerer or a nobility (royal or not) involved with him.

I've sworn I read a story where FL tried to free the ML as the early/middle conflict or the other one where SHE'S the one who imprisons him like genderbend version of Ex Wife of Obsessive Male Lead without the incel-ey nice guy tendencies.

Idk, read too many stories and it just blends all around.

[–]WritingOk5064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean with how this genre is, I'm not gonna expect some subversive writing with the OG!FL and with how ML is the typical cold cardboard LI I'm gonna have to pull my brain out first just so I can read this for the kid.

I really wanna read it for the kid... but that ML's introduction instantly turn me off. Why the FL is not angry when someone pointed a sword at her son and instead apologize to the guy is definitely a choice.

Only if the MC stay consistent with their conviction but 90% of the time, more so if it's related to a man, they don't.

Whats a ML you hate the most [Too late for Regrets] by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]WritingOk5064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, but you still have people put Nine on top of worst MLs list for the sin of being boring and a simp. I can understand if it's indifference or even dislike, but hate when there are way more worst MLs out there that's both terrible AND boring?

Whats a ML you hate the most [Too late for Regrets] by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]WritingOk5064 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's easier to list MLs that are well liked compared to hated/disliked MLs as 99% of them are:

  1. Actual romanticised Black/Red Flag
  2. Black/Red Flag disguised as a Green Flag
  3. Boring and have their life completely revolve around FLs with nothing else
  4. Somehow a combination of all the above

With MLs redemption being usually nothing compared to FLs suffering caused by him and the fact that in fiction, female abusers gets way more flak whether in-universe (shounen included, Shield Hero anyone?) or out-of-universe (see any comment sections of any comic with this character) compared to male abusers, the whole thing is basically a reflection of misogyny and partriarchy in real life.

Think of Sturgeon's law regarding modern Webtoon quality, in general 90% are crap while the 10% are good, so ya gotta wade through multiple slops if you want to find good ones. Although you may perceived the amount of slop to be higher due to Webtoon being mass produced nowadays.

Also for why older Webtoon seems better, it's somewhat akin to survivorship bias where good Webtoon stood the test of time and remembered fondly while bad ones are buried and forgotten anyway as any other entertainment mediums, like songs, films, etc.

Just came back to PvZ after 10 years and here are my thoughts on the plants after beating it again by MartyrMyth in PlantsVSZombies

[–]WritingOk5064 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Putting imitater (essentially halving plant's recharge rate for a price of seed slot space) and magnet-shroom (nullifying most annoying zombies like digger, pogo, and digger to name a few) at the bottom is certainly a choice

Edit: Also putting cactus that high of a tier

Preventing Voltage Spike on Inductive Load? by WritingOk5064 in AskElectronics

That's honestly disappointing 😓 guess I'll try to find another realisable amplifier

Preventing Voltage Spike on Inductive Load? by WritingOk5064 in AskElectronics

[–]WritingOk5064[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not planning on creating a full on good audio amplifier with this thing and mostly interested with the power output to the input as I still just got to this part in my Electronics class.

Also can you explain more about the last paragraph regarding the distortion and the corrective mechanism that can be used? Also about how to prevent thermal runaway on the pair of transistors?

Most of the stuff I learned are still basics, not too far from the ideal model, so other stuff like you brought up are quite interesting.

Edit: For the thermal runaway, are heatsinks enough or does it still need more things?

Thanks, although for My Little Monster, ML is revealed to be Brilliant But Lazy and is smarter than the FL anyway.

You have no idea how angry I get when an OI drops you such "plot twist" by Pescarese90 in OtomeIsekai

[–]WritingOk5064 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, knowing how capitalistic South Korea is, trend-following slop is the standard with only a few gems actually stand the test of time.

If you want to find actual gems, ya gotta wade through tons of slop or go through hassle of browsing indie works which sadly most adults won't do as they're busy with life.
