    Sure, the protagonists usually end up powerful, but to be honest none of those three have their protagonists start strong. In Villainess, Bakarina's only power is to make a small earth mound. In Shield Hero, the hero starts out with a shield that's pretty freaking useless. In Bookworm, the hero...

    @raisel83 eh, I would beg to differ. Part of why I enjoy isekai stories is the the unique challenges the protagonists face. My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and Ascendance of a Bookworm are my three all time favorite isekais (season 4 of...

    Unless, of course, you're playing Roll for Shoes and have the level 1 skill "do anything" If you roll a six, you level up to a subset skill relevant to the action you attempted. You may not pass the skill check, but you now have a level 2 skill, which means you roll twice as many dice and can...

    Give us documentation for the chapter view conditions and variable changes

    I know gene.sis 8 years ago suggested this in the guide, but I've yet to see anything. I know there's some stuff I've had to figure out with experimentation, and it would have been helpful to find it via documentation. Things I have discovered: variables will change prior to the chapter text...

    Restrict AI

    Eh, not exactly - when someone plugs your work into an AI engine, that work is gonna get used in training data. I know that image artists have started poisoning their work so that the training data gets corrupted. Would you be opposed to some of us publishing poisoned works? Say, stuff that...

    Restrict AI

    Artists in general have a vested interest in not having their work be used in AI. Writers are no exception, which means the lionshare of us writers will likely be on the same side here.

    Double Feature: Dominion High and Bunny Boy Breaks His Level Cap

    I would also like to know the answer to this story so that I might be able to know how graphic I am allowed to get during combat. Combat is not planned to be sexual when it's adversarial.

    Rules for 6-player team chess

    Close but not quite; but yes, I did base piece movement for everything except pawns on hexagonal chess; in particular I needed to draw several rules for piece movement from Echexs, on its side-9 size board; however, because pieces are arranged on edges rather than the corners, I had to go with a...

    Rules for 6-player team chess

    As part of writing some draft chapters for my story revolving around the polycule in Cyllian (for my own sanity, hopefully the only polycule that you can romance as a player), I had to generate a new variant of chess: 6-player team chess. First, the board layout (easier to simply post a picture...

    I am NOT a Hero! by MichaelChaseLit

    Okay, I've read three chapters (I'm not much of one for male PoVs), and my feedback is: please use adjectives. If you want something to stand out, use a sensory adjective to help readers visualize what's going on. "I ate a juicy apple" is much better than "I ate an apple" If you don't want...

    Why are so many Chyoa authors guys?

    While I'm not going to disagree with this, I would like to point out that we can only speculate about prehistory. Anything prior to about five and a half thousand years ago (Sumeria and Egypt) we have mere oral and artifact evidence of, and even then, pre-bronze age oral stuff surviving until...

    3 reasons why I’m not going to read your story

    Hence why I attach trigger warnings to Zeus chapters before sex comes up XD

    Why are so many Chyoa authors guys?

    Going to push back on both of these points. It is universal human nature to be somewhere on a scale from polyamory to monoamory; I myself am at the extreme end favoring monoamory. This is not gender-dependent. How this is expressed is a matter of societal influence. It is universal human...

    Mentions of minors in NON-EROTIC ways

    Interesting tangent, but no. Ethics are universal and may have some cultural dependency, but generally are about what will be beneficial to society. Morals, on the other hand, will be based either in some higher principle or in religion; the term mores shares a root, and means what is commonly...

    Mentions of minors in NON-EROTIC ways

    You seem fine on the ethical front, as there's clear division between child and adult here. My only issue is moral, two-fold. First, you used truck-kun, which my wife annoys me constantly by talking about XD. Second is a matter of typo: your phone auto-corrected "dye your hair" to "dry your hair"
