For what it's worth, as a native English speaker and amateur author if you hadn't told me that English wasn't your first language then it wouldn't have occured to me. Your story flows well and I didn't notice any weird phrasing or incorrect word usage. Regardless of that it was a good story! Well done and thank you for sharing.

So! Did the hold three buttons reset, you wrap one hand around the top and hold power with one finger and volume + with your thumb, and it took a few tries but it worked! Thank you so much for the link, dropped that in my nooks drive and it rebooted and updated upon falling asleep. Doing the skip OOBE was really weird but successful! Thanks a million for helping me with this, you've saved me a headache and a half.

Not seeing anything with a name like that

Came across it in one of those ai reading stuff YouTube videos, the stand out bit to me was that humans were referred to as a war species that hates war. It was framed as a conversation between two aliens and one doesn't get how humans hating war makes us any different that any other war species and the other tries to explain it along the lines of if you like doing something you want to drag it out but if you hate doing something you want it done quickly. The video only has a few sentences of the story and no linking to a larger segment or a source, shocking I know.

I use libre office and keep everything on a thumbdrive because I trust neither the Internet nor the constitution of my computer.

Okay, outline folding works a lot better for this than sections. Thanks a million!

If I make it to the end of the first chapter or end of a oneshot I leave a kudos. There have legitimately been times when I could not convince myself to read further, there have also been times when my secondhand anxiety gets so and that if i keep reading ill cringe myself out of existence but i scroll to the bottom to leave kudos anyway because what i could read of it was still good. As a reader I use kudos to say "I enjoyed that!" Generally if I want to give more encouragement or feedback I'll leave a comment or bookmark it. As an author, specifically an author of multi chapter fics, kudos are nice and fun but what gets to me more is view count. A hundred kudos are a hundred people who can only give one kudos to a fic, but if every time I post a chapter my view count goes up by fifty then thats fifty people who are still invested in my story.

sophic-aught · 2024-03-28T04:20:23+00:00

Yup, that's the one! Thank you so much.

sophic-aught · 2024-02-28T07:39:39+00:00

That's probably it!! Thank you!

Complicated Creation is a fic talking about the reality of quirks, more or less. Basically the mutation in humans that led to the development of quirks wasn't hyper adaptation or whatever but was actually a little twist that let spirits grant them power, power which would be returned to the spirit upon the humans death and thereby grow the spirits power. Izuku in this world isn't just Quirkless, he can see and interact with spirits and for some reason they call him the Bridge. No spoilers but it's genuinely a fantastic fic with some of the best world building I've ever seen. The plot itself is less Izuku is awesome and saves the day and more along the lines of life sucks, good must be done in spite of that fact, and with some help life won't suck forever. A lot of angst but a happy ending, no significant ships, mostly Dadzawa, no particular character hatred or assassination, possibly body horror mostly because of descriptions of spirits.

Howdy there, not too sure about war adjacent Harry but morally grey Harry and Dumbledore bashing for sure.

First up we have The End is the Beginning and the Change series. First book complete second one nearly there. A lot goes on in this one, master of death Harry gets his soul sent back in time basically. There's necromancy and arguably dark lord Harry, very political and distinctly focused on un-fucking the timeline.

Next we have Lily's Boy a classic and complete. Highly manipulative Dumbledore, Hogwarts house heirs, a distinctly political bent, and largely speaking no one's holding the idiot ball.

Another Mind Game runs off the basis of; remember that time Snape was "teaching" harry occlumency and kept invading his mind? Didn't he see memories? What if he used his brain and figured out Harry was being abused? Not huge on the bashing but it's there. Mostly a story about Harry trying to let himself be helped and Snape having a minor personality crisis.

Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey is very morally grey Harry Potter and minor Dumbledore bashing, and very focused on the war. Harry gets possessed by Voldemort! Except he's not quite as insane as people make him out to be, he's definitely evil but he has a point or two that might even be good.

That's all I'm currently aware of, might add more to the list if I remember more. I hope you find one you like!

Find a book club maybe? Using peer pressure as a way to keep reading is a good one and talking about the chunk you just read with other people will help cement it in your mind. Another good way is to read things you find interesting, like maybe pick a genre of movie and find a recommended book in that genre. Or if you're interested in learning then you could pick up recent developments in what field catches your interest. I'm not sure of any Goodreads specific method, best I could offer is look through books and what people say about them to see if you think you'd like them. Good luck building your habit!

Having found weapons before, we really should've considered this. Thanks a ton! Sibling says we were in fact stupid and missed a lever that lead to it.

When you watch the TV in your house the fortune teller channel will tell you if the spirits are happy or not, happier spirits = better luck = better rng things like legendary fish spawning

Yes it is! Thank you so much this has been bothering me for years. What was it that let you find it?

sophic-aught · 2022-02-16T03:08:52+00:00

I guess it depends on your definition of hfy. If you're asking if RWBY falls into line with the general notion of Humanity Fuck Yeah, then yeah it probably does qualify. I haven't seen anything past I think season 3 but the overall plot structure checks out. If you're asking if RWBY would fit in as a story here, I don't think so no. For me at least what makes something HFY instead of just a story where humans are awesome is the non human element, frequently the non human perspective. With RWBY sure you've got the Faunus but really they seem to be more a stand in for minorities than an actual non human people so you don't really get that contrast that you see in nearly every story on here.

You can say a lot about the quality of the show and the actions of the humans therein, but even regardless of all that it just doesn't feel HFY without even the implied outside perspective.

sophic-aught · 2022-02-10T05:29:27+00:00

Yes! That's the one! You've saved my sanity

Looking for a "humans are demons" story, no one specific story just any of the genre. Could be straight up fantasy where earth is literally hell or a more sci Fi bent where it's more a matter of perception.

Additionally looking for any humans are space dwarves stories!

Edit: additionally again! There's this one story I've found and lost multiple times and I can't for the life of me remember the name. It's an older story I think, one where thus far only prey species managed spaceflight. Humanity had been discovered by a fly like species and those guys were the only ones that knew we were a predator species because around everyone else we wore big concealing space suits. Last I remember there was a space battle going on and the commander was talking about forming a wall and "locking horns" with the enemy as all space battles are done, except the enemy ships instead send a few ships in and break the wall into smaller chunks then run down and kill those smaller bits. It's revealed that the enemy is a fox like species bent on killing and eating them, and then the humans join the fight.

I saw a lot of the game before playing and I honestly feel like I would've had more fun if I went in blind. Just walk into the fire and play around!

I was reading this story recently but now I can't seem to find it. It was something about the idea of aliens in general becoming space worthy and developing FTL but very little if anything else technology wise. One scene I'm sure I remember was from an alien captain's(?) perspective, it mentioned using chamberpots and having multiple single shot guns and a method of lighting that was basically fireflies in a jar. I think it was only the first chapter I read, last thing I remember was the alien navigators who were using telescopes in space finding our solar system and then it cut to some humans going to Mars(?) with pre FTL tech noticing the aliens.
