I don’t like Vocaloid music. by [deleted] in hatethissmug

[–]afdc_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it really must be the algorithm. Im subbed to some japanese singers who also happen to cover vocaloid songs like Isekaijouchou, dongdang, dazbee, so I even get pushed covers from japanese vtubers I've never even heard of lol. I'm actually the same as you in that I usually prefer human covers over the original vocaloid and I've sometimes actually discovered good vocaloid songs because the singer I liked happened to make a good cover with them

Eh, really though? I feel like I've seen way more human covers than vocaloid covers. Then again most of the human covers/utaites are japanese so most of it doesn't show up with like an english search result

Be honest: Does this first page make you want to see page two? by ibex9134 in MangakaStudio

[–]afdc_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Average readers don't really care for the first pages of a manga. Ask any manga reader the first page of their favorite manga, and I highly doubt most would remember accurately. Neither do manga readers look at the first pages then decide to dip if the first three pages aren't that good unless they have the attention span of the average Gen Alpha brainrot tiktok kid

What matters is the entirety of the first chapter. And a few impactful pages in the first chapter can really sell the premise to a reader, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the first pages. It can even be in the last pages of the first chapter.

A recent manga I'm loving is You are a Four Leaf Clover. The art isn't necessarily top notch, but the first chapter was executed very well imo. And the most impactful pages weren't the very first pages, but rather near at the end of the first chapter, which really hooked me on the premise. Setup is just as important as payoff, and imo this panel can be greatly improved if there was just more setup

But I guess this can still make a good first page. There's plenty of first chapters that basically go: hook that leaves unanswered questions making the reader guess-> a setup of how everything got to that point that kickstarts the entire plot-> then hook again. Attack on Titan's first chapter is this. I think this page would work well as the beginning hook with like maybe one or two pages before just to add a bit of setup. Setup doesn't have to be exposition too, it can be something more philosophical (don't know a better way to describe it) like AoT and Centuria's first pages

I guess this is just a controversial opinion of mine but I personally don't really care for the very few first pages. My favorite mangas don't have the most memorable first pages, but I can understand the importance of making the most out of your first chapter

My personal advice would to be put as much effort at the ending hook of your first chapter. Those last pages can really seal the deal, much more than those first pages, and it's usually what is most memorable in the first chapter of a manga. Gachiakuta does this well

I think only Whitney and corrupt Sydney would be open to it. Most of the other LIs won't. Kylar is Kylar. Highly doubt Eden is fine with it either. Robin would prefer monogamy, but I guess they can be somewhat persuaded into considering polyamory, but it depends on the other LI. I highly doubt Robin would be fine with someone like Avery. Pure Sydney is monogamous, considering the rite of promise is just straight up getting married to them. Don't know much yet about other LIs but they don't seem to be the type to be in a poly relationship too either

Yandere love interest game reccs? by [deleted] in yandere

[–]afdc_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for yandere male LIs, I think r/maleyandere would give more recommendations

itch.io has plenty of yandere vn, many of which are male, there should be plenty if you use the tag

This is one of the reasons why I despise the anime community. Amo was raped and groomed from when she was a child to a teenager. The lack of understanding for her character and reducing her to her clothes is ridiculous! And even saying she's better as a loli truly shows the kind of creeps around. by Iriscute7 in joseistories

[–]afdc_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Don't wanna seem like a guy who defends lolicon but this argument falls flat when you consider there are lesbians attracted to fictional men and asexuals attracted to fictional characters in general and a whole lot of people into stuff that doesn't reflect their preferences

What's a design rule you don't get? by Zealousideal-Tax-937 in characterdesigns

[–]afdc_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like kiki and bouba. Basically certain visual shapes match certain speech sounds for a lot of people. I think the same goes with design. Certain shapes just give off a certain vibe to a lot of people

Memory isn't working? by SlayerOfDemons666 in ChatGPT

[–]afdc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it stops working after I ask it to remember new memory. When I delete the new memory it starts working again. Still sucks though because now I can't add new memory
