I admit the reasoning is wrong, but I don't think the conclusion is wrong. If you approach an unknown situation that's a new 5 star rating system, how do you arrive at a conclusion of what an average rating will be? The only way is further researching any similar things. Doesn't this make it unintuitive?
Whatever I end up writing next, IF I end up writing something after my current story, I do not want more realism. The sheer amount of research I'm doing for this story is driving me mad. Though, it'd arguably be worse if I have to make everything up and keep it consistent...
"give me like 3 days to write out this wild dream as a short story. I already wrote 2 pages of notes in my phone so I won't forget the plot ."
How goes this endeavor?
