There are some tropes common in web novels that really rub me the wrong way. At first, I only thought of them as some really annoying stuff that I hated, but I kept getting into fights over it and it eventually became an obsession for me. The thing is, I would like to discuss these tropes in a...

Not long ago I asked why people like reading stories that glorify their main characters doing horrible stuff. I was told that it's all just escapism and that it doesn't translate to them being awful people in real life, but I have first-hand experience on that not being true. 'Boosted Restart'...

First of all, I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to be insulting to anyone here and that I'm being 100% genuine. This is not a shitpost. I have an unhealthy obsession with a certain type of fantasy novels that crap on "humans". By having some powerful main character commit genocide on...

Writing a novel here is not just about the writing, there's a social aspect to it that I'm REALLY bad at, which is both receiving criticism and reading other novels that I hate. That's why I'm doubting if I should have started writing at all, I do like the writing but it seems like the social...

One of the weirdest things about web novels that I've noticed is how there seem to be A LOT of authors that really want to have their main characters commit genocide.

I think that I need to cleanse my palate from all the fantasy novels where humans suck... so is there any novel that's the opposite of that? Some people pointed me to the "hfy" subreddit, but everything there seems to be science fiction. So, is there a fantasy novel in which humans are both...

I don't even know how many times I've seen a story that has humans claim to be superior to 'race' while 'race' claims to be superior to humans, but the author makes the humans say it in an over-the-top rude way (that doesn't sound like the way any human would ever talk), while 'race' tries to be...

Oh, look, I've been reincarnated in a fantasy world as part of a nonhuman race. My new race has super strength and magic, and lives like 100 longer than humans (traits that make us truly relatable and sympathetic), so we think of humans as if they were insects (yes, I said 'we', I immediately...

I REALLY hate the trope where you have some powerful being that's feeling down for some reason so they start killing innocent people by the thousands because of their sadness/anger. Why should I care about the feelings of a mass-murdering piece of shit? Why should I care if they lost someone...
