We all know that LitRPGs are immensely popular for reasons of demographics and the inherent implications of such a system. :blob_evil_two: Even the greatest loser can become strong with a system.

Now that is not the issue. Being popular is not a problem per se, but it is definitely problematic when LitRPGs stories become too popular and begin to exert a negative influence on the diversity of webnovel writing in general.

What do I mean? Let's give a brief look at today's trending.

1594461913664.png


Overpowered Death Mage In Another World = LitRPG

Origin Seeker = LitRPG

Cinnamon Bun = LitRPG

Rat In The Dungeon = LitRPG

Arcflame, the strongest tree-growing dragon = non LitRPG

The Reincarnated Vampire Just Wants To Enjoy Her New Life = LitRPG

Unsightly Gluttony = non LitRPG

Why is my Harem World a Yandere Nightmare = LitRPG

Reborn as the Duke’s Daughter ~ The Goddesses are Ruining my Life! = non LitRPG

:blob_evil_two: As you can see, 6 out of 9 stories are derivatives of the LitRPG genre which is popular to a degree that it threatens the biodiversity on scribblehub, preventing non-LitRPG stories from entering the apex of exposure. Every author wants to get there, because trending means views, and views mean readers, and readers mean comment regardless of quality. Very simple formula.

- So what do I want? :blob_reach:

I want more exposure for non-LitRPG stories!

- How do I want to achieve that? :blob_reach:

Remove LitRPGs completely from trending and give them an own, separate trending list. Something like a special LitRPG trending bar just for them where they can mess with each other in a death match.

I guess the main takeaway from this thread is that people are illiterate and never double post within the vicinity of @AliceShiki

This is legitimately the first time I saw her swore holy shit @Ral you might've pushed the doomsday button

He triple posted once and double posted thrice in the same thread, I get triggered at those occasions.

And then the guy has the audacity of questioning why he must follow forum rules and pretends to have done it only once in the thread... Like, geez, wtf?

... And then he wonders why I call him a troll... >.>
Guess I shouldn't double post :blobsweat:
Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I really did douple post only once in this thread. Like, geez, you constantly lie to make yourself appear in the moral high ground.
... And then he wonders why I call him a troll... >.>
Gee. Everyone can call anyone a troll now.🤪

You hurt my feelings! You are a troll. You make me angry! You are a troll. You don't listen to my demands! You are a troll. You disagree with me! You are a troll. You make me look bad! You are a troll.

If you put it like that, you just sound like a grizzled old police officer complaining about how jaywalking kids should be put on electric chairs.

In other words, only then will we find the true fans of the genre who stay after the craze gone. Remember the bad boy romance stories of the mid 2000s? It's still going fucking strong on Wattpad, even after it's gone off mainstream.

Goddamn hes right. Wattpad is fucking imploded with these fucking things.

I call this governmental intervention. Worked in the past. Works now.
Yeah not always. That's an extremely bold statement. Its fails as often as it works

The drama on these forums are the only reason I keep checking up on this place and it exceeds my expectations every time. Y'all are just constantly fighting about different stuff. :blob_popcorn_two:
It does pass the time

Look at how short this is...



It's "in your face" to me. It takes a few seconds to read at most. I figured people don't read it because it's boring though which I get. I'm willing to bet that even if I did as you suggested, those threads will still pop up. I wouldn't do it though cause those big fonts are ugly...



Really? I like SH's design in general even though there are some stuff I need to fix. I guess everyone is entitled to their own personal opinion though.


RR can take 24 hours so....SH is pretty good on response time. People just impatient.

Somehow, I get the feeling that by complaining about double posting, people are doing it even more

It is a question, not a statement. :blobtaco:A question you can answer with yes or no.
No. Libertarians support liberty at its purest concept. Basically political autonomy for the person. Personal liberty for the person. A true libertarian would be at complete odds with both Democrat and republican. True Libertarians would be something of a anarchist in today's political climate.

But no. Not a libertarian. If anything, I would be something of a mixture of Libertarian and Republican. But I dont write myself as anything anymore. I used to subscribe as a Democrat during my darker days (haha funny joke there) but their thirsty whoring about for support from literally anyone who will give them the time of day, and their noticeable changing of their original core values just to get support and a leg up on opponents is disingenuous and fake. Plus this communism/socialism phase of theirs....which is COMPLETELY against democratic party values at THEIR VERY CORE, is nauseating. I lived in NYC. Ive met literally hundreds of immigrants who fled communist and quasi-socialist countries. No one who understands what that sort of government is, would willingly return to it once they go somewhere with republican or democratic style government like the USA and SOME European countries. Though lately I don't know how much this will remain true.

The US and Europe both seem to be having their own political crises all at once and at the same time. Kinda ominous.

I've been told this from people from the middle east all the way to china and south east Asia.

You know the concept of "republican or democrat government countries" is strange to any non-American. :ROFLMAO:

But as far as my understanding goes, Libertarianism is mainly an economic position while Liberalism is more encompassing. Maybe Libertarian was invented for rebranding as the word liberals was burned by American party politics? Who knows.

And I am curious about socialist countries in the middle east. Egypt maybe? Syria? Have to think hard. :blob_hmm_two:

Libertarian MIGHT have been an economical stance but in america it's what I said. I don't know who started it so I couldnt tell you which is right. A lot of things take on different meanings in American definitions. And yeah sorry, I didn't think about how non-Americans would scratch their heads at the Republican-democratic thing. Sorry for assuming.

Possible. To be fair, I got my definition for Libertarians from a GoT parody. He sounded like a neoliberal, he spoke like a neoliberal, he acted like one. So I assumed Libertarianism was just rebranding.

"If you have more than six ounces of wildfire you have to place it in a transparent plastic baggy"....

"Crap, some guy blows up a sept and now we have to take our shoes off at the airport"

"I am the King"...."Again with this King stuff"....

I don't know why but I spat soda hearing that XDDD

Some of it in the video was spot on for American Libertarians, but there is less emphasis on the economics here in America. And a lot of the "liberty" statements made in this video are practically half-assed regurgitations of Republicans speaking on individual states rights, with a word or two tossed in or removed to throw off the less observant viewer.
