I like it first but then....

I've noticed this in a number of chinese novels. I don't think they're supposed to be heroic in the western sense. I view these characters more like mafia characters, or wild west characters. Devoted to their family, but anyone else that gets in their way is annihilated. ...

[Steam Workshop] Paying for Mods
(10 posts, 3005 views) Posted: over 9 years ago by Zeff in Games
I think it's a really nice idea to give modders some money for their work(25% is stupidly low though), and encourage them to be able to do this full time. However, the problems are really massive. The people that would redo horse armor for 20 bucks and people who'd outrig...

When does it get serious?

Actually it starts out more of a straight gag manga, but turns into more of an action comedy. It's always set in a really creative universe. I think there's a lot to love about the series, not to mention it's impact on manga is really significant. I doubt we'd have any of...

That would be spirit circle. It has a bunch of stories about the main characters previous lives(though this brain tank one is the future). Anyway, it's like the 5 story in or something.

The Rise of Novels

I got sucked into light novels about a year and a half ago. At the time the only novel in the top 100 here was legendary moonlight sculptor at 72. There's been a massive increase in how many light novels being translated. I'd say this is a snowball effect. A couple good l...

Why do people persist reading series that they hate?
(17 posts, 2649 views) Posted: over 9 years ago by Zeff in Manga General
One of the biggest things I hate about manga/manwah/etc is that they can get abruptly cancelled, and have to try and wrap up long storylines in a couple chapters. I can't count how many manga wind up with awful rushed endings. And this kinda leaves a sour taste in your mo...

Shonen Manga Without the "Nakama Power" Theme

I think the focus is partly cultural. I think I remember that japan used to have a different system in elementary school where kids were organized into groups and the grades given were given to the group. This was to foster more cohesion in these groups. I think there's a...

Hmm, that's a weird post. Yeah someone talked to him a year or two ago and got permission for 1-20. The thing is though, volume one has already been released in america. That publisher went under afterwards and another publisher aquired the rights to that volume and the l...

Character living in a closet

Hmm, I think in bleach rukia lived in ichigo's closet for a while near the start. I also think there's a romcom that has I think a love god connects a guys closet with a girls room forcing them to live together. Not really live in a closet for the 2nd one but a dimensiona...

At the end of the grand line is the true location of the one piece treasure. It's actually on sniper island......In your heart, lu lu la la lu.
