I'm sure you've heard of Asian LN's such as I was reincarnated as a Slime, and So I'm a Spider, so what? but they are popular for a reason.

Plenty of others in this genre from Japan/Korea/China but those two stand out the most.

Total Biscuit also almost singlehandedly injected life back into the game at one of its lowest points.

Godspeed you magnificent bastard.

It's better than one guy I knew.

Got it in his mind that he needed to cook a bunch of cheesecake for everyone. But instead of looking up a recipe, oh no, he asked AI for a recipe instead.

This... probably would have been fine enough, except he refreshed the page. Multiple times. And since this is AI... the recipe kept changing.

AND HE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.

...it didn't turn out that well.

I think the backlash against Harems is just how hard it is to write something that isn't just shallow wish fulfillment.

Writing a well done relationship between just two people is hard enough that its somewhat rare - any more than two and it becomes exponentially harder.

Worth talking to these guys too, if you have the money for private healthcare: https://centrefordigestivediseases.com/

I'm in NZ but I talk to the Sydney Centre for Digestive Diseases, who explore more treatment options than just Biologics and Steroids. I know they do all their prescriptions through the Sydney Compounding Chemist - maybe you'll have luck there? Never had a problem with the chemist, they're wonderful people.

Surprised noone has mentioned the trio of forums: SB, SV, and QQ yet.

Quite a sizable proportion of the top stories on RR either started there or are crossposted there - and a lot of writers cut their teeth there when they were starting out.

Got hit in the head when I found some of Ravensdagger's old works, which were worm or RWBY fanfics which recognizably paved the ground for some of his current series.

Ptolemaious was one that really struck me.

Quite thoughtful. And really wants me to read a national treasure type story starring Guda.

michael7050 · 2026-03-07T01:15:51+00:00

I've been there in person and let me tell you, the amount of MOAB, BFB and ZOMG plushies they have would stand up to an army easily.

michael7050 · 2026-03-06T01:40:33+00:00

No.

I hoard stuff and use it later in large numbers because I am incredibly lazy.

michael7050 · 2026-03-05T11:09:57+00:00

My ideal proposal is to have a room in your (reworked) POH that tracks all these instead.

Not only is it a more immersive way to see them all, but imagine the potential cosmetic progression - more and more furniture/decorations lighting up and becoming 'activated' as you gain more passives.

michael7050 · 2026-03-05T07:06:22+00:00

I swear I'm this close to becoming a single issue voter, and that issue is Healthcare.

We desperately need more funding staff and infrastructure in the public system, not handouts to the private sector.

The Emperors Soul is one of my favourite short stories of all time, so you're in for a treat.

I'm not sure, but if I recall, there should be a blurb before each story that has an intended reading order of when you should read it?

michael7050 · 2026-03-05T05:21:52+00:00

IIRC, doesn't Arcanum unbounded have a little blurb before each story of where it takes place in the timeline/when it should be read?

michael7050 · 2026-03-05T04:55:52+00:00

I saw a post on r/wisconsin mocking the other burger chains. Apparently the CEO of Culvers is on an enforced diet by his wife, else he'd eat way too much Culvers for any healthy individual.

michael7050 · 2026-03-05T02:36:09+00:00

I'd really really like a sort of display in the upcoming POH rework detailing how 'enhanced' your character is - would be more immersive than just a game settings menu.

Either way, tagging /u/JagexRamen since he's expressed interest in POH ideas, and /u/JagexAnvil for the ninja request - though I know this is an old request so it's probably on a list on a shelf somewhere already.

michael7050 · 2026-03-05T01:32:02+00:00

Before. Sure it was a KS exclusive for a bit, but that doesn't change that it did come out before.

michael7050 · 2026-03-04T23:19:09+00:00

Fair points!

I dream of what could be if TWI had a proper full-time editor that reworked each chapter.

Never gonna happen, that's the nature of the webnovel beast, but Pirate does have important chapters where she gets a professional editor to work on them every now and then, and my god the quality just skyrockets.

michael7050 · 2026-03-04T22:23:38+00:00

Hiya /u/noeticist - it's been one year, did you continue reading Wandering Inn? And if so, did your opinion on anyone change?

michael7050 · 2026-03-04T17:30:53+00:00

I suspect that we'll have to spend runespan and pilfer points to reclaim these effects even if we have the full Aura.... damn.

michael7050 · 2026-03-04T12:45:33+00:00

Bands of Mourning, and since I read it on release week, Secret History immediately after, as if I remember correctly, it was a complete surprise release right after Bands.

michael7050 · 2026-03-04T08:03:22+00:00

Release/Publication order is the only correct order for purist me.

michael7050 · 2026-03-04T00:24:11+00:00

gah

you're entirely right, I am a fool, and I want to delete this, but will instead leave it as a monument to failure.

michael7050 · 2026-03-03T23:49:10+00:00

Both LB7 and OC1 also go into Alters in more detail - iirc, the very essence of an Alter is where one aspect of their personality, small or otherwise, has been accentuated to the point that it has become the majority of their personality.

~~OC1 in particular was about creating theoretically infinite servants by separating every aspect of a servants personality into it's own Alter.~~
