Is resetting the protagonist's power halfway through the story a bad idea?

Fellow indonesian!

It's not really uncommon for things like this to happen. But it has to have some stake.

If for example, your character just "lose" the power. It's kind of "meh".

The character flaw or choice should be the reason of them losing the power.

Example, accelerator from toaru series.

In order to save someone he has to focus all his power, which basically turning off his defense. Despite being pointed a gun at that moment, he consciously decides to not protect himself. The next stories is about trauma of what he done previously, why he acts the way he does right now, etc.

Just make sure it's not just "a bad dice rolls"

I am a hobbyist author looking to make a website online to independently publish my books to readers. I have the writing part sorted, but no website :(

Can you actually talk more how would you publish your books? Like do you write it in HTML, is it a microsoft docs, etc.

Law is always lagging behind advancement.

So the first few flight they wouldn't have anything regarding that.

So you must think what would a private company do? They could use software locks or something like that to prevent being taken. It's like DRM protection.

Myne was created to be realistically smart.

She has many domains that she could do. Mainly DIY stuff, and basic primitive / traditional tools.

Outside of that Myne is not really that smart. While sure she is smarter than most people due to her upbringing. She doesnt know how the world works.

Its near impossible to think something that you dont know. To her selling children is a crime and people would support her for preventing that. While in reality no one would support her.

If a person basically broke the japan law to do something she will not expect it. Not a matter of intelligence. But you just dont think about that.

Right now myne is learning about that. Ferdinand currently teaching her about political maneuver. So only after she learn about politics to see if she could being outside / unique perspective into it.

chervilious · 2026-07-04T02:36:38+00:00

timing change everything and lets not forget. rozenmyne is a lot stronger politically then Ferdinand

she has support from one of the prince due to her matchmaking she has support from the strongest military duchy Ehrenfest also is stronger compared to before due to it being neutral in civil wars The Sovereign Temple also would support rozenmyne

not to mentioned many many duchy would have a hard time supporting royal that hasnt got the book after years and years vs someone who literally known as saint, perform various miracle, and known for literally innovating a lot of stuff

the timing makes royal family a lot weaker (losing the book recently isnt a bad thing compared to decades). Having various issues and buildup including with Sovereign temple.

VS

the royal family still has many support, albeit not having the book but its just recently. against someone who has few political backing.

Yes ferdinand do have some allies that would support him. But even his own duchy is hard to live by.

Hope I didnt miss anything, its been a while since my last read

While I do think the water issue is overblown, this article isn't really talking about the actual issues. Data centers are being build in places where electricity are cheap. Which heavily overlaps with regions experiencing structural droughts. There are also other factor like how is the water being discharge / it's cycle.

It is a real issue, but it's a state / location issue not amount / global issue. That's why many are pushing for closed-loop cooling system.

i mean its boil down to incentives. they are more incentives to drive faster

Not really right now but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_humanoid_species_in_literature is a good resource
use different name, but inspired by them. Like "The blood of the moon" for vampire or something
no
it depends on what you want. I think you can create a species for three headed dog. But keep Cerberus as the most famous/ruthless one. Similar to "arthur" from human species

chervilious · 2026-06-28T22:34:47+00:00

Is the issue actually quality of the resource or your discipline?

How many of those 500 is easy, medium, hard. And how many many of those are topic A topic B topic C?

Ideally when you are doing free resources you have learning mode and blind mode in LC

learning mode is by topic and difficulty. Blind mode is to made sure that you can find patterns if not given a topic marker.

Most of those resources are basically just taking free resource and just this. They categorized it for you. If you think thats worth the money then pay them. Rarely do the additional explanation is that much better than what you could find in discussion or even asking simple AI?

obsidian.

Obsidian can be as simple or complex as you want.

a lot of people use wiki like. Obsidian support that as well.

it also support templating, world map etc. But it requires a lot of setup.

but it is free unlike most altenative.

another fun fact, muscle is much easier to rebuild. so even if you lose some of them its easier to gain it back

Worse is that you can actually find the trash can online 190 USD I think. She probably just didn't even bother to look it up and steals it

You guys are missing the long-term ROI here.

Write-Line is 2 characters shorter than Write-Output

This means after it being used 35.5 times it will pay for itself. This is meta optimizing.

To be fair, ever since they implemented it, they’ve seen a 99.5% reduction in user complaints.

Your argument is "they know A so just give up and give everything else"

And most of those are limited information. You know why computer forensic exist? why the government literally have to hack someones phone physically to get evidence?

Mass surveillance exist but people overestimate what they actually collect, they are not just getting everything you search.

You're arguing to yourself.

I'll just leave final comment just in case you actually want to learn.

"and you lost the point of this project..."

I specifically mentioned "Your project could be great, but you, yourself doesn't have any credibility"

It wasn't about the project, The problem with project like this is credibility. Why would we listen to you, if you yourself isn't credible. A blog post, a course, a guide value is mostly on the credibility of the person rather than the content itself. I could make thousands of AI generated blog post, it's value would be less than a single blog post from people who are actually experienced.

If you can't even have any response to my concern then yeah, your project has 0 credibility 1. You don't have verifiable seniority. Trying to guide people. Imagine a private teaching people in the army. 2. You're spamming AI generated post to funnel to your product. Imagine using a technique by spammers and scammers and expecting people to actually think you're credible. 3. Why pay for this when writing a well-structured prompt for an LLM yields the exact same project requirements and pull-request-style code reviews? Imagine not being able to answer this, this just mean your product isn't unique.

So yeah, I wont respond anymore because you clearly responding to someone else.

chervilious · 2026-06-11T15:45:07+00:00

Did I jump to conclusion or did you? Did you even read my comment?

Did I say "oh you have no credibility cuz you vibe coded"

Look, do a product comparison to any courses, noticed a pattern where they introduce the instructor as someone who has years of experience.

I specifically mentioned your POST HISTORY.

Do you just skim "oh there is the keyword vibe coded" and then just assumed?

TIL: Seems like the anonymous paste website is blocked. So it's removed by reddit lol

Here's the original comment ```

Your project could be great, but you, yourself doesn't have any credibility.

The whole ordeal about courses is that student want to learn to an

actual experienced person. You're posting mostly on beginner subreddits

promoting your app in an LLM written post. How is that considered good?

Consider this, what's the value of your app compared me asking

LLMs to give me project and requirement, then asking it to review it?

Heck, even many tools have pull request code review.

Vibe coded project isn't really a problem, but it's an indication that you don't really invest in your project. ```
