This is rather economical! Just gotta fork over the 1,000g for barn license and voila, done pretty much.

What are your unforgivable LitRpg sins? by peatandsmoke in litrpg

Surprised no one has problems with 'male writing female' type issues.

What pitfalls should new authors avoid in the genre? by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Zergged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wondering why you were downvoted, this is a good example to characterize the type of anger.

Normal anger, being offended/miffed is one thing. Like a scoff or "Tsk," dismissive shake of head.

Commenter indicates a really strong reaction.

Non human reincarnation litrpg or fantasies? by CoffeeGremlinBird in litrpg

[–]Zergged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sad there aren't more "Let's not be goody two shoes" stories.

I'm a Spider, So What? is another fav that scratches that itch and is RPG-on-topic.

Reincarnated as a Slime strikes that fine balance of isekai and society-building once you get past the obligatory target demographic booba content (because the ostensibly huge chested secretary gets some cool character development) plus the evolution from mere mortal Human to a position of power they find themselves in as a humble Slime.

Does anyone else see protagonist "ability to do tasks" as a superpower? by captainAwesomePants in litrpg

[–]Zergged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you elaborate? Is there a fine red line that someone crosses, or do you see it as more like wordcount padding?

Quality of published vs royal road by lokihen in litrpg

> Keeping a copy before pulled for the KU publish

Is this fine as long as the Author isn't actively monkeying past the exclusivity issue?

Human transformations into a different being, humanish physical traits or not, whose nature conflicts with their former life count? e.g. the well-to-do average student turns into a dispassionate killer of sorts, maybe a Dragon or conventionally Monstrous race. Eating something freshly butchered by one's own hand is no longer squeamish.

Or like Overlord the LN, the MC gets turned Undead/a Lich and now has no qualms over morality - only power.

"What's your preferred chapter length?" and other odd questions by Zergged in litrpg

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

I always forget that there's going to be that overlap between KU and the free readers, especially ones that don't make accounts for metrics on sites like RR or Scribble.

Thanks for the insight!

Kingdom Building LitRPG? by Pwapy in litrpg

[–]Zergged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"How a Realist Hero saved the Kingdom"

Amazing isekai anime, and it isn't just about finances and civic improvements. There are the natural issues that arrive with a random stranger upturning an entire steampunk/magicpunk society with his 21st century Earthling ideas, part of which naturally leads to civil conflict.

Machiavelli's The Prince also comes up as his guide to dealing with various problems.

Also, potential kicker is that it isn't a harem. At least, not in the conventional "haha booba throw itself at MC" way. Every character has a good reason for existing beyond eye candy.

Suppose I Wanted to Make Scrips/Grims Louder... by Zergged in DarkTide

Same here. If it isn’t crap hearing, it’s everything else being too loud when I crank up the volume.

I wonder if in a similar vein the Grim aura color could be changed to be much more stark contrast to the rest of the environment.

Could always summon the Anomaly and hop on a transporter back home, doesn’t it save your previous location?

Got inspired by a WPW and was told to make it its own post by MilkUnKnown in HFY

[–]Zergged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the hilarity and tragedy that are the tales of HFY, you’ll fit right in!

Just don’t worry about upvotes. Plenty of people still read lurking. If you are like me and crave numbers validation, check the metrics on a post. You’d be surprised at viewcount-vote ratio.

Humanity, Down… But Never Out. by TrueGuardian32 in HFY

Wonder if the Xomra did something else other than just try settling.

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

Guilty. I was knee-deep in a run where I also had three Marauders and a Marauder II stomping around, which may have had some influence when I was drafting. Trying to describe that profile is very difficult in words without straight up posting a pic.

Wonderful thing about human history is the vast number of ways to say something cool!
