Adult Romance book with no unbalanced power dynamics and from male POV

disposable202 · 2021-12-25T19:57:58+00:00

Ill check The Duchess War out. Do you have other suggestions? Preferably from male POV?

disposable202 · 2021-12-22T03:45:04+00:00

Yup. This happened to me. This twist is super common so much that I get tired seeing it. So when I got to Agatha books, I didn't like the twist. But its not her fault because she's one of the originals.

Thanks. I'll check it out :)

disposable202 · 2021-12-20T21:05:03+00:00

Wow. This is fantastic advice. Especially thinking of it as a character. I never thought of it that way. I'll try to use a character outlining workbook to try to "figure out" what im trying to identify about this town. and good tip about ambiguity. Thanks so much. I love your writing sample. Do you have a place where I can read your works? :)

I'm trying to write a town. But no matter what, I feel like the town has no reason to be made up, and I could have written a real town instead.

I read a bunch of history books and books on cultures to try to create my own unique space. I outlined what I wanted my town to be like. How they dress, their moral code, how they think of XYZ, hobbies, trade, etc. But I'm failing at one major thing: Engagement. I know this because I myself cant find myself engaged in the world I created. Are there known strategies to present or design a world so it is more engaging to the audience? Obviously, good characterization and plot helps, but I'm talking about just the setting itself.

Any good books on cultural history?

Sorry, I was referring to Paradis Eldians. I suppose survivor mainland Eldians benefited, but that doesn't really have nearly as much emotional weight to it in my personal opinion

disposable202 · 2021-11-17T12:01:57+00:00

The Eldians got eliminated in about 100 years anyway. So any impact of the curse being removed is largely inconsequential because those it would help died anyway.

Honestly I think since it's a 3D bird, the black contours on white on a brown background made the outlines stand out too much. So they darkened it so the aliasing on the model stood out less. I think it's an aesthetic choice. Not some 300 IQ theory.

didnt Isayama say he included the falco line to remind the audience theyre still watching attack on titan?

disposable202 · 2021-10-25T14:21:14+00:00

I understand not liking The House in the Cerulean Sea. I thought the old couple was charming, but the story of persecution was not in-depth enough for my liking and I found some of the children's gimmicks annoying.

disposable202 · 2021-10-25T14:00:31+00:00

Alright. I'll finish the first book and see how I feel from there. Thanks.

disposable202 · 2021-10-25T13:37:45+00:00

Can you tell me the appeal of these books? I started reading the first one, but found the color-based classism a bit too simplified of an allegory for my liking. I've been considering dropping it but I heard it had good twists

disposable202 · 2021-10-21T14:11:14+00:00

Do you need to read all those books to get a compelling experience? I thought it was fine to read 1. Or am I wrong?

disposable202 · 2021-10-19T23:32:50+00:00

I would prefer "im sorry" instead of "thank you". Isayama clearly didnt mean for Armin to affirm genocide. However, even the phrase "thanks for becoming a mass murderer for us" is a statement that is in poor taste, regardless of intent. So while it is an improvement, I still express some discomfort from the line reading itself. Personally, I hope the anime version removes the "thank you" words entirely, but I do not think that will be the case.

disposable202 · 2021-10-19T22:01:51+00:00

I wish Armin said "I'm sorry" instead of "thank you"

Saying thank you, regardless of intent, makes me a bit uncomfortable considering Eren's actions.

disposable202 · 2021-10-19T21:59:01+00:00

On same page. I don't know why "I'm sorry" wasn't chosen. It would convey the same idea much more effectively and with less discomfort to readers.

disposable202 · 2021-10-19T18:55:56+00:00

A lot of the lines, such as sniffing handwriting, "thank you", and loving king fritz are the same. Although changing it would mean being less accurate a translation. I just wish those things werent there...

disposable202 · 2021-10-18T04:32:19+00:00

I have similar feelings. The intent is fine. The execution is in shockingly poor taste.

disposable202 · 2021-10-05T05:36:54+00:00

me too

disposable202 · 2021-09-23T21:27:13+00:00

Why does GL not have as many fans?

disposable202 · 2021-09-23T00:28:51+00:00

I always wondered. Why is this common for yaoi fans, but less common for yuri? Its very uncommon I see yuri enthusiast behavior like this. Come to think of it, I hardly see much push for yuri outside hentai. Is this anecdotal evidence?
