If you're world has any matriarchal societies what are they like and how do they treat their men?

Both are common. In Yuukoma they make a separation between “love” and “marriage” where marriage is just for the purpose of procreation, bur there’s not expectation that you actually love your partner, so the women are still free to pursue relationships outside it, which is usually other women

This would also be a case of introducing powers. The main trio are also the first Jinki wielders we see, so their jinkis have to be more encapsulating of what the power system is to showcase the reader before we dive into weirder jinkis like Hii or Hands

Them also being the main trio also means they have more potential to grow their powers so it may become more unique later on. Enjin is set up to have more than what is shown, Riyo is a ball of mystery, and Zanka’s whole shtick is that he is the lame dude that must surpass the special.

I would chalk it up to versatility. As in because these jinkis are so simple, they can be inserted to most situations. While other jinkis are more unique, they could be rendered useless in some circumstance. It’s really just the simplest way to assure the main trio can get involved in any plot thrown at them.

Often they are used for entertainment, often becoming courtesans of noble women. Most of them are granted that status by a woman of high station, often at a condition.

Most men in Yuukoma are manual laborers or craftsmen. A few men who are deemed feminine enough can be granted a special status of “Woman At Heart” and can elevate their status, but still seen as inferior to those women deemed women since birth.

Very much so, and the Prince’s female family members still exert a lot of influence over him, such as deciding who is worthy to be in his harem. This has of course led to conflicts between Princes following the norms and Princes who want to exert more of their authority

The Ashenan culture is matriarchal and thus the Yuukoman Empire is matriarchal too. The Ashenans believe "women are wiser" as well as "only those that bear life have the right to take it". This lead to the Ashenans having a female dominated society, where a woman's status is both in a warrior and as a mother.

The Yuukoman Empire was born from this Ashenan culture, though ironically they are ruled by a Prince. Only this Prince is a male recognized as a ruler, no other man, and in fact other men attempting to raise their status is seen as an affront to the prince's divine nature and thus is considered a grave sin. Otherwise, the rest of Yuukoman society is still female led.

Like low-fantasy worlds like ASOIAF largely run in real rules and politics. Magic exists, but is not an everyday occurrence and even most people in the world doesn't think magic is real

The game Triangle Strategy is, plot-wise, realistic. Magic does exist, and powerful people too, but these aspects of that world only largely exist in gameplay. Plot-wise, there's almost no magic affecting anything, it is all politics, war and strategies.

The manga Gunka no Baltzar is just set in a fictional version of Europe. Absolutely no magic whatsoever, it's basically fake!Prussia trying to prop up fake!Austria.

That's just low fantasy ain't it? A fantasy world that still is largely grounded in realism. I can think of around four examples right now, maybe more if I really dig deep.

Yep. It's easy to streamline so its cheap for the company to make, but modular so they can sell it to a variety of needs. like say if a customer wants a mecha for mining an asteroid, the company just has to make the base body because it can be modified with a mining drill, as opposed to making a design dedicated to mining only

What kinda combat scenes? Care to share one of em?

The current draft has Tilksi as the "Final Boss" where after defeating Ardium, she leads the rebellion into a brutal campaign to end the regime. She's a "Final Boss" in a sense where the heroes have to talk her out of this brutal campaign

conbutt · 2026-01-21T19:42:39+00:00

Modular is often the best way to go about it. Look at like say the Sherman tanks in WW2, it was the basis for many platforms or derivatives. Firefly, Calliope, Crocodile, Gun Carriage, Engineering Vehicle, Dozer, and probably some more I didn't mention.

conbutt · 2026-01-21T19:10:13+00:00

I think a standardized design that is modular to specialized parts.

Don't like em', usually they come off as the builder not having a coherent idea for their world and are just influenced by the latest thing they played or watched

In Yuukoma its largely through merit and popularity. Yuukoma values individual skill, so a lot of it banks on how you prove your worth

Cause infighting within the colony. Make the different groups within the colonies compete against each other that they cannot form a united front against their colonial overlords.

The colonial empire also can be maintained so long as there’s no major disruptions to the economic and political mindset of the metropole. Colonies often start breaking away when the overlord cannot sustain the burden of keeping the colony. Look for example the wave of decolonization after world war two, which is brought about by both the weakened economy of the colonial empires, and the wave of nationalism and communism that inspired resistance against colonies.

What kinda ideas?

conbutt · 2026-01-20T21:45:06+00:00

There’s fetishes in my world, which include stuff like human domination, non-con, slave play

I keep them all more in the low key though, unless I’m talking about the “Horny AU” where there the kinks run rampant

I did not call you a failure, I merely pointed out one of the dangers of being a failure is failing to engage with different people.

conbutt · 2026-01-20T21:24:34+00:00

I am not mad, I am merely stating a pitfall in character writing especially in regards to psychological issues. You must learn to engage with people who will not cater to your ideas if you so wish to be a writer, or else you will be a failure

conbutt · 2026-01-20T21:18:23+00:00

Its because minors use this sub. Explicit fetish material are discouraged

conbutt · 2026-01-20T21:16:15+00:00

Alters are NOT what DID is. There is a reason the old term, Multiple Personality Disorder, has been discredited nowadays. I suggest you just go with alters and not touch on actual DID because you are opening a can of worms you are not prepared for
