    Feels like I don't know what I want to even read these days. Sad.
    Hey I was wondering if Freya has already fallen victim in your story called "Is it wrong to be the Dungeon?". If so, where can I read it?
    d.fish
    It feels like "time stop" and "mind control" aren't really that fun as NTR superpowers, though passable

    I mean, compared to like, illusion or pickpocketing; like, it's more fun to put some other girl's things in a responsible boyfriend's belongings and make his girlfriend misunderstand and then take advantage of this friction, than, you know, to just "assuming direct control" or something, right?

    I guess I'm just a little sick of the braindead type female protagonists that can be pushed down with a simple "you wouldn't want [insert name] to know about this, would you?" or whatever, you know, illegal blackmail or whatever

    though I guess that's still a step above "assuming direct control", maybe
    Hi Cambrian. Just wanted to comment here on a whim. Your fanfic 'not so solo after all' was originally how I found your stories years ago as it's one of the few existing solo leveling fics with smut in it. With the recent debut of the anime I found myself revisiting your story I know the likelihood of it getting continued is low, but I just wanted to give it a shout-out.
    Good Day Cambrian. Huge fans of yours. I would love to know if you'll continue your Vali master series, especially the GOT one(A Tale of Blood and Monsters). There aren't that many quality GOT fics out there...

    Heya! Never say never, but I will say that it's not on my radar atm. I might pick it back up one day, but I currently have no plans to do so I'm afraid.

    Yeah kind of expected that. You wouldn't be opposed to having it commissioned someday, will you? So I can start saving up :)

    Heh maybe, but no promises. Commissions are currently closed and will be for the foreseeable future. The price is also 5 cents per word at the moment even if they do reopen and I know that can be pretty prohibitive to most people.

    recently watched a critique of Rings of Power, specifically of that godawful mockery of Galadriel, and i was wondering - would she count as enough of a gods-favorite-princess mary sue for that uruk fic you wrote a while back?

    I mean, there's practically no way to turn the ship around now. It's not like they can pull a Marvel, despite how similar the situation is; you know, here's a Metzen, there's a Stan Lee, acquisition by MSFT, acquisition by DIS, lots of IPs, lots of IPs... there's no "Iron Man" kind of product to turn it around, you know? And before that, there was a Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, but what's here? An Overwatch 2?

    Just wanted to say thanks for writing "Interspecies Relations!", your Seton Academy story. I know it's old, but when I saw a post on the series and went looking? Yours was the only fic worth reading. There may have been a snippet here and there, but they weren't much and certainly nowhere near as well written. Shame that a show like that never achieved any popularity... Take care dude, thanks for the entertainment!
    Hello! What happened to your fanfiction account? And what website has all your stories?
    d.fish
    But a lot of stories are like this, they start with one eye catching joke or fun plot point, but they can't really string together a story for shit, you know, it loses you, makes you skim, and blank out, and ugh so disappointing

    Its weird, I thought I had a really cool eye catching plot hook for The Soul Engine, but now fifty chapters in I get people who tell me that the start actually almost turned them off to the story but they're glad they pushed past it and kept going because it got better.

    And I'm just like "THE START WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HOOK FFS"

    a hook that doesn't complement the story tends to be a detriment lol

    but all things need to consider the degree of which you do things

    it's like avengers endgame, you know, the big scene where everyone shows up, you waited 10 years for it

    but do the same thing in dragonflight and it's just cringe, not even the scalies cared about warcraft like that

    Saw this one gamer story where the newbie MC was tossed into a maintenance shop to fix guns, and the first gun he gets from a gang member has the durability -99/100 lmao what how'd it get negative hahahaha
    d.fish
    There's actually more stories here of a different subgenre of the "I'm an NPC" type, it's where the MC is the maker of the game, or on some level the channel for which players enter the game world, and usually a portion of what players gain (levels, exp, etc.) can be translated into "IRL", and the MC has to worry about running the "world"

    I just see now that there's a lot of new emotional entanglements that should arise from adulthood, and the ways to deal with them with the power over death tend to be new and unexplored

    For example, "Ginny cheats on Harry" tends to be a common trope, but inflicting physical pain is so... mundane... muggle even. As the master of death, you could pull an entire life's experience on to her, make her regret, self-blame, you know, delicious emotional pain
