Hey guys, what about a cyoa that we all work on? Like we all throw choices and the like at wild and reckless abandon, and then they all get sorted into order and "Balanced". Completely arbitrary number to limit choices based on how many their are total.
I'd assume text based since picture hunting for that would be fucking impossible.

Which Dead Author do you miss the most?

I miss Beri sometimes, even if his fans were awful.

>>54644528
Beri seemed like a really genuine person. There was legitimate criticism to be had of his writing, but I think people went overboard sometimes as a reaction to his fanbase. It's not like a fanbase is something you can control, so it wasn't his fault.

>>54644563
Yeeeeeeees!!!!

In the eyes of alien species, what would humans possess that make us cool? Some aliens have extra limbs, that's useful. Some can fly, unique cool and useful. What sets humans apart? Height?

>>54644604
What sets humans apart?
Dicks

>>54644604
You should probably skim some early archived HFY threads, before they got awful.

What kind of waifu would you like to see more of in the future?

Personally, tall tomboys.

>>54644756
I want to see waifus who spend less time talking about how much they love me, like I was a Persona MC. I already know that I'm awful so the waifus liking me breaks immersion.

>>54644756
Galkos. Copy the girl from "My first girlfriend is a gal"

>>54644756
There can never be enough tomboy choices
though I would prefer if they weren't into pegging
I want to have a pure, loving relationship with them.

>>54644604
Humans are considered adorable and child-like by aliens, making them prone to trusting and protecting us.

The only downside is that it means there's a strong black market slave trade for humans.

>>54644854
>AI waifus
Did you like the Rook? I hoped you'd enjoy her, since I liked the failed author CYOA so much.

>>54644905
But if I'm making an alien waifu, presumably your waifu would see you as an equal, not as a child.

>>54644832
Some dude went on a big rant about how he didn't like Beri's characters and a couple people argued with him, saying they liked the characters. The dude flipped his shit and ranted for a thread and a half, getting increasing frustrated, angry, and hateful the more people disagreed with him. That's where this whole 'Beri's fans suck!' idea first came up, so I consider it likely that anyone bringing that up out of nowhere or generally harping on it is probably that guy.

>>54644907

What the hell did I miss this week

>>54644946
I was there and I don't like beri's writing but I wasn't the only one. When I left and came back the shitposting was still going on.

You seem a little obsessed there buddy, let's just drop it since it really doesn't matter at this point anymore.

>>54644928
As a /ss/ child

>>54644928
Not the other guy, but I just had an idea: Pedophiles of other alien races find adult humans attractive, and are encouraged to pursue this kind of xenophilia as a way to keep them on the straight-and-narrow.

>>54644928
Well some people like getting doted on (look at how popular /ss/ is.) Anyway, I'm just describing to you a possible general attitude, it doesn't necessarily have to be how everyone feels. Some people hate puppies after all.

That's not true alien love though, just fetish shit.
>>54644994
It's a good fetish to be sure, but I'm not going to write fetishes all the same. Thanks for the idea though.

>>54644972
Ah, there we go, my suspicions are proven correct. I like when that happens.

>>54644986

>>54644708

>>54644880
Are you retarded? It's probably impossible to pick a more biased '''source'''. Ancient Macedonia has fuck all to do with fyrom. Insinuating Alexander isn't Greek (under modern definition) is insane revisionist propaganda.

>>54644780
There's nothing more obnoxious to me than the whole shtick of "the waifu is writing a letter describing herself, which gives you information about her and also highlights her forced stereotype personality ".

If you don't know how to write characters, than don't do this!!! If you're just going to make the waifu an archetype, you may as well not spend any time coming up with character specifics. Craft some believable and interesting characters, like that Cowboy CYOA, or the Horseman Kingdom one.

>>54645013
>>54645029
Never said it was a good idea.

>>54644907
I choose Rook yep, A.I. Waifus deserve love too.

I'm glad you liked it, I think, hopefully you never made a build for it haha.

>>54644907

>>54644946
That's a shame. Beri's characters do suck. I guess that well's been poisoned though...

Cowboy is one of the best CYOAs made for these threads. It's able to inspire a mental adventure better than 90% of the shit people pump out, and it's all about writing and originality.

>>54645063
>taking anyone seriously when they use three fucking exclamation marks

>>54644928
Oh, if we're talking waifus, I think humans being determined would be the best fit. Even if we're weak, not that smart or educated (at least on the whole) and regularly fuck each other over (and ourselves), we're pretty damn tenacious.

But then, who would want a pathetic weak willed alien waifu?

>>54645162
He has a point though resident shitposter. There are lots of people in this world and lots of ways of writing a realistic character, but everyone shares one characteristic and that's being self-interested.

People introduce the best parts of themselves and try to cast a shade over their faults and errors. If somebody said "I love and want to suck your cock" on the first meeting I'd start looking for the hidden camera, but in CYOAs that sort of writing is almost standard.

The worst I can think of is the fairy CYOA where you had girls saying they're super duper honest and hardworking, but it's far from being the only one to commit the ultimate sin of bad character writing.

>>54645075
I was also the anon asking you (I think) for design advice since I genuinely do want to improve. Hopefully the layout wasn't too much of an eyesore.

A lonely, chubby girl who eats to ease her pain. When you get together she makes it her mission to lose weight, and this will go a lot better if you help her out. When she reaches a normal weight and becomes more confident she starts acting and dressing in a more feminine manner. She becomes extremely happy because you gave her a chance and helped her, and she almost becomes addicted to pleasing you. Though she is more confident with her body she still retains some shyness and insecurity during naked, sexy times.

I'm not questioning his logic, but I practice various forms of writing characters and apply what I think is appropriate on a case-by-case basis, depending on the context. I believe everyone understands this much and practices it too, but don't let the quality of certain author's writing judge the merit of a certain narrative form. Second person/addressing "you" can work and can flesh out a character/the setting just fine.

In a way, dialogue from the character can reveal just as much, and third person can be just as bad. Saying "this girl wants to suck your cock" can be just as detrimental to their appeal as a character as them saying it to you. In fact, I'd argue that it makes the introduction more personal. On the flip side, revealing things like useful trivia or credentials is easier done on third person. In real life, the most common and thorough measurement of a character is to see their written side (letter, resume, portfolio, etc) and to also have a person-to-person interview, right? There's many sides to this.

>>54645377
Third person "this girl wants to suck your cock" is still bad, but better than first person. By doing the addressing you shtick, you have to suspend your disbelief a little more you know, to stay immersed. That's why it's so important to make sure you can write well for that, because instead of describing the character and letting imagination fill in specifics, it is telling you "this is exactly how this character talks/writes", and if it's written poorly or generically, yikes.

no, it doesn't. It encompasses a modern understanding of modern Greece and ancient Greece. Just like 'Chinese' or 'Egyptian' can refer to both the ancient or modern variant. If you're some kind of sperg who reeees at people when they call Socrates a Greek philosopher, go outside.

CYOA should be able to inspire the imagination. If I send you a picture of a wet slice of bread captioned "Destiny", would you be inspired to make a good story from it? A good adventure? CYOAs work best as a catalyst.
>>54645470

I mean, you're not that kinda pussy that insults other people from the comfort of his anonymity, right?

>>54645445
You're arguing from a position of personal taste, which is why nobody is taking you seriously.

>>54645461
Just so you know, modern Chinese and Ancient Chinese are clearly different things. They apply to different things and we use different terms to denominate them.

>>54645430
I'm not sure if the forest cyoa author also asked, he may have. I may have butt into an unwelcome conversation at the time, but in general I try to not identify myself since I am a regular anon.

>>54645221
Let me tell you why that's bullshit. Vampire and Fairy King had the girls trying to portray themselves as faultless as possible, it's just that the third party guiding your through the cyoa often broke in to explain why something they said was disingenuous. The few faults that were highlighted by the girls themselves weren't portrayed as faults at all, simply personality quirks that an immortal being is communicating to a recently-changed human.

>>54644756
I want to see more futas with big swinging balls full of baby-making cum and really nice hips.

I would have put more into Love, but I don't want a charmed harem, and it wouldn't give me a waifu.

>>54645445
I can argue that second person is more immersive on the personal side since you can drop hints about their personality, behaviour and even experiences through speech patterns and vocabulary. It can give a personal tinge to the character that third person can't; they're speaking directly to you rather than through a disembodied third person.

Your problem is arguably more applicable to third person, as well. A problem with third person is how most authors have a tendency to do too mich exposition through it, when the most effective way of writing should be through showing and not telling. It's like reading a manual versus a well-crafted, absorbing story.

tl;dr When written poorly, both are shit, but both can be applied fine.

>>54645507
What I'm telling you is that your shit taste isn't an objective measure of a cyoas quality.

If anything, your continued posting is undermining your argument, much in the same way the three exclamation mark thing did. Once you're dismissed as an idiot, everything you say is dismissed as well. Which is a shame, because your opinion is valued, it's just wrong and poorly thought out.

>>54645548
>When written poorly, both are shit
Yes, we are all aware of your CYOAs.

>>54645507
Yes but I don't want my kamidere to love others

>>54645512
No no I don't like to mix my outside views and my cyoas.
>>54645513
Well that's okay, but what I say didn't seem to be a taste thing but more a fact, no? If you're using first person, the characters words have a lot more impact and can be more immersion breaking and detrimental to the cyoa
>>54645534
(:
>>54645548
I can agree with your summary, but I think it's a lot easier to goof the first person than the third. Since it's already a manuel, something silly bad won't be so horrible. But if you're reading a story and there's a silly bad thing in there, it takes you out of it more

>>54645519
If the setting and backstory justifies why a certain character is introducing themselves in a certain way that would normally be unrealistic then that's not bad writing. And the use of a third party is actually borderline genius in that it allows honest inspection without requiring the self-described character to suffer from low self-esteem needed to hate themselves.

Most CYOAs that feature shitty plastic waifu-bait lack the setting justification for why everybody you meet wants to suck your dick and get your sperm inside them as soon as possible. It's just a given that they want to even though you're often just a guy who dropped into the world and should reasonably be treated with suspicion rather than adoration.

no shit, same applies to Egypt. Don't see what your point is.
>we use different terms to denominate them
are you being intentionally daft? Yeah, you use different terms to differentiate different parts, what an astute observation! It's perfectly fine to call both ancient Chinese and modern Chinese just Chinese though, and only the most autistic of people unwilling to admit they're wrong would be willing to contest that.

>>54645622
I didn't say it was bad writing, I was defending it from someone who did. If only because those are some of the few cyoas where I have trouble deciding on a waifu, as opposed to my usual experience of not liking any in particular or easily deciding on one. I think they're very good.

>>54645548
You make fair points, but there's no reason a third person expositor needs to be disembodied. You could justify their knowledge of the person by having them introduce themselves as a friend, maybe they're trying to hook you up which is why they're telling you all this information. Maybe it's a government agent, maybe it's a parent or a sibling or someone who would reasonably be well informed about that person.

It isn't a dichotomy of either having the person introduce themselves or having an abstract god-voice, you can find other devices to help make it realistic, emotional, and satisfying without turning to the most obvious choices.

>>54645548
The problem is that it's nigh impossible to get a deeper understanding of a character when they are introducing themselves, unless you want it to sound artificial. Most people in real life don't even really ever tell anybody what they are 'really' like. I'm not trying to be some hyper paranoid anon, but to me it just feels like I'm getting to know some mask rather than an actual character.

I generally like your writing, but with most of your characters I feel like I've only gotten a rough impression, and one that I can't even be sure of whether it's correct.

Are you intentionally obtuse?
The modern definition of Greek can both mean 'modern Greek' and 'ancient Greek'. "Alexander was Greek" doesn't mean he was a modern Greek.

>>54645806
Why should it be correct, though? If I'm choosing a crew for Stardust or an adventuring party for Fulcrum, I'm taking into full account that we might not get along and we might not be best friends forever.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are people seriously choosing companions and waifus as if it's a done deal, something you can never ever change once the CYOA is completed and your story begins?

The trouble with this question, from a biological perspective, is that the things that really set humans apart, like consciousness or symbolic language, are things that we assume aliens would have. The other stuff, like "good color vision" or "really good at throwing things" or "menstruation" or "female orgasms," is pretty hard to get a good story out of.

There are probably things we've invented that other species never thought of, like pants or grand pianos. There are probably human-specific cultural practices, like pedicures or ritual scarification. But it's hard to get a good story out of those, too.

As a bonafide Beri Fan(TM), I miss him a lot. Beri and DSA. I remember being condescending to the literary agent fellow who criticized Beri's characters; I felt that he had in some way missed the point. I was also fairly sure he was genuine, because it was very much like a literary agent to discard fellows like Tok as unsalvageable and focus on someone with obvious promise like Beri.

>>54645523
>national levels of cuckolding
Is that some kind of new addition or i just never noticed it because this CYOA was made way before cucking became a meme.

>>54645847
>Why should it be correct, though?
Because it makes choices pointless? At least, if we're talking about something character centric. If the characters are just companions/tools, yeah, it doesn't matter thaat much. But if it's a waifu cyoa? There's no point in choosing between two characters if you can't know what the actual deal with them is.

>Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are people seriously choosing companions and waifus as if it's a done deal, something you can never ever change once the CYOA is completed and your story begins?
I mean, if it's something minor, changing it is fine, yeah. But something major? Why even bother playing a cyoa if you want to totally go off the rails? I can't imagine what 'playing' a waifu cyoa that way would look like.
"I choose waifu x, marry and divorce her after two years. We still occasionally see each other, but I'm mainly happy being with [OC]." or what.

>>54645930
Probably the latter.

>>54644604
>ability to tame pets
Other aliens just see other species as either pests, equals, or superiors. They see us as having cats and dogs as strange. If we go to space, we'd definetly be taming some weird beasts to keep us company.
>short lived, but regnerative and thick skinned
It's funny to think of us as a naturally regenerative species, or even funnier to still have the honorable savage space species and have them be overall still pretty squishy compared to us.

>>54645891
Nowhere does the CYOA say that such an option eliminates your humanity, though. As far as the information presented in the CYOA goes, there is no downside.

The real cost of upload is that it kills you and replaces you with a computer clone, ending your consciousness and all that. But since the author has noted that he doesn't care about himself, that probably isn't intended as a drawback.

>>54645922
But anon beri as i said before >>54645693

>>54645948
Because when an author presents "people" to me, I treat them as such. Not cardboard cutouts that I'm going to surround myself with, knowing they can never leave.

Take Vampire King as an example. When I'm choosing a Bride, I'm not choosing "waifu forever, she loves me no matter what". What I'm choosing is an immortal vampire who has a positive predisposition to me, let's try things out and hope for the best.

This is why I always stop to consider how my companions would get along with each other, as well as me.

A CYOA is often just the first step on a grand adventure.

>>54644756
I always think in specifics, which is why I have a very tough time writing waifus. So I have a hard time answering this question, because all my ideas run something like "Likes snails, tie-dye and superstring theory; quiet, in the sense that she prefers to make only substantive comments; wants to feel loved but has trouble expressing herself; comes across as distant, but isn't."

Why the fuck

Does anyone know who made the CYOA where it describes the many powers you can have with the world ending? Its all related to the world ending, and there's about six things you can choose. One is Sun related powers. Another is a gigantic emerald shard wizard tower. Then there was one where heaven kept getting better and better, and another where you explore the ruins of earth and become a God

>>54646023
There's a difference between trying to make things work out and actually assuming that it probably won't work out.
Everyone probably does the former, but the latter just seems kind of pointless to me. It's either a failure state or just completely alters the nature of the cyoa. I like imagining how to avoid failure, but just failing? I don't know, that's not all that interesting to me.
"Guy gets dumped by supernatural waifu" is just a shit story.

>A CYOA is often just the first step on a grand adventure.

Showing is a very common practice for writing prose and is something that should be exercised. It's about giving flavour to the text, and can even be beneficial to sentence length.

I should iterate that exposition is unavoidable in CYOAs, but there's no reason you need to keep your writing bland and uninteresting.

>>54645670
3 paragraphs is plenty to work with. I would agree with you if you said less than a paragraph, or just a couple of sentences, though.

>>54645740
That's something I've been attempting to explore. Context is sometimes all you need to make something more interesting.

>>54645806
>it's nigh impossible to get a deeper understanding of a character
As is the case when meeting anyone for the first time, or attempting to explain an entire person in mere sentences or paragraphs in any shape or form.

My characters tend to be somewhat vague because I don't like exposing too much. I don't think revealing one's ulterior motives and darkest secrets in their introductory description is good underneath most contexts unless I mean for it to play a bigger part. I didn't get to know many people I hang around with after years of hanging with them; that's just how relationships work. People often don't make much of an impression at first unless they're really flamboyant with their personal qualities. I like the mystery behind meeting new people.

>>54646263

Kinda like watching an a person grow old and witness as their mind deteriorates, they forget things, who their children are, how to go to the toilet, what they were like before.

So, 23 years - 5, because I can only go back to age 5, right? So that leaves me with 18 years multiplied by 12 months each... That's 216 points. That's a lot of fucking points. Am I doing this right?

Assuming yes...

Step One: Let's go with Standard. Time to get rich on the Dot Com bubble, Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, etc. (and stop 9/11 or whatever).

Step Two:
1) Shifter + Ability + Power = -72

If I'm going to get rich quick and/or enjoy myself, it'll be best to not look like a snot-nosed 5 year old.

2) Prime Taradox!! = -24

This is basically a must-have in my book.

3)In Your Prime = -24

Shapeshifting might make this redundant, but if age causing the degradation of my powers is a risk, I'd rather avoid that. Anyone see that episode of Batman Beyond with the guy who gets the incomplete Inque potion? No thank you.

4) The Artifact + Ability = -18

I'll take the Philosopher's Stone for eternal, or at least extended life, and alchemy-based shenanigans. Again, might be redundant with In Your Prime, but at least IYP is insurance against any "Eternal life without youth" catches. I'm not necessarily looking to live forever here, just a bit longer at my discretion, but we'll see what the genie can do.

5) Tag Along + Power = -36

Might be boring to mentally be 23 years old and being stuck striking conversations with 5 year olds. Assuming I can convince my friends to all pay for a tag along option and pay it forward, there should at least be good company.

6) Wealth = -42

I put the remainder of my points in Wealth. "But, anon," you might say, "This seems like a waste! Aren't you already going to get yourself wealthy?" Yes, fellow anon, but I'll need some starting capital to do so, and I don't think my parents are going to be too inclined to give a 5 year old me thousands of dollars to play the stock market with. $21k isn't going to make me a high roller off the bat, but it'll give me something to play around with.

I would have gone with Super Hero Lottery, but introducing Super Villainy into the world just so I can have additional powers seems pretty selfish. I can already act as a superhero if I want to anyway (see attached picture: me fighting crime).

True Love appeals to the romantic in me, but I've also seen Highlander.

Bedroom Eyes seems redundant when I can be any spunk hunk or semon demon I desire.

Tokhaar Gol, CYOA author mostly known for taking over lewd CYOA business and kinda making some of the better lewd CYOA of the past few years. At the same time, his personality/character is (or at least was, dunno, maybe he's working on himself now) complete shit - tendency to act like megalomaniac ass whenever hurt to hide his insecurities and butthurt, fondness of shitposting and namefagging for no good reason. He got over his head, partially because of that attitude, made a CYOA that had some horribly shitty flaws. Anons rushes to throw suggestions, pleas, recommendations at him, he got annoyed, then confessed he cobbled together this CYOA half-assed because he hoped to post it for some reddit CYOA competition for some cheap change, blamed shittiness of CYOA on anons, disregarded half of the suggestions and then when faced with backlash for shitting on people who tried to help, he threw even bigger tantrum (which peaked once some anons said he considers taking his work and fiddling with it for balance) and for a few days it was a jolly time of drama and heaping crap on him mixed with optimistic or surprisingly friendly anons giving him common sense suggestions. Stuff along the lines of not shitting on his own target audience, especially when they want to help, not being full of himself and generally stuff he should already know.

First his answer was to make some shitpost CYOA about how it's anons who are salty and how he's a godsend. Amusing at first, after that people decided it's shit as well and he should grow up. Now things are calming down. Some anons, including this one make some CYOAs silently, some new talents, including quite promising ones made a few little things or shown WIPs of a few bigger ones. Generally, same old, same old - there's some OC, some drama but it's still /cyoag/ you know.

Seriously? Uh, well, better to know late than never.
Yes, tomboys are girls who act boyishly and sometimes dress/style tehmselves in a way a boy would (while, obviously, in anime still being absolutely cute). Tomgirls, funnily enough, is for their opposite and fuck I know why, I didn't make it that way.

Doesn't seem like anything particularly hard or troublesome. Provide somewhat of the context, explain some vague bits and even the exemple bit you thrown in may work as okay character description. Once you add lewds, that is.

I'm just sad to know you're alright. You have to make CYOAs and everything.

>>54646257
Nothing particular about intelligence making you less human, just increasing parameters that go beyond human ranges will necessarily make you other than human and at some point becomes a change in type, especially if that increase is performed in a way that the rest of humanity cannot readily follow. You are not much like a floresienisis, either.

>>54646021
I think either Beri or Bliss are working on their last CYOA. Their real life is becoming more active so they are leaving.

>>54646540
Then you need to have just as many desirable, masculine traits. Or feminine traits if you're a lesbian. Otherwise you need a reality check.

>>54646023
I think your attitude is pretty great, though regarding waifus themselves, it really depends on the context of CYOA. In your vampire bride example, your attitude is very reasonable and makes for much more believable scenario, but in some CYOA where waifu is literally assured to be everloving idealized dream come true, I don't see how one should reasonably doubt the whole "will love forever" bit.

Basically I was lectured by her on literature and was forced to read her Twilight fanfiction and then forced to write my own.

She'd literally mark up all my shitty mistakes, I had to look up how to write proper sentences and prose. I'm leaving out a lot of other details cause I voluntarily forgot most of these memories.

Depending on which traits you lack you may be better off. Tomboys, as long as they're of the "takes care of herself, is practical and gets shit done but is still loving, caring, friendly person" variety are nowadays far more attractive partners than average feminine wilting willow. Just don't turn into the "butchy, constantly hairy, argumentative, manipulative and hateful, girl power-screeching third wave feminist" stereotype and you're set.

It's an awesome trope you're just a hipster. And I believe you're looking for Kenkou Cross of the Monster Girl Encyclopedia fame for that. At the very least he's the one who popularized it nowadays and almost all bgger H games, doujins etc revolving around monster girl theme are either directly inspired by his work or riding the trend bandwagon he set into motion.

>As is the case when meeting anyone for the first time
Yeah, you normally don't decide to be intimate with people on your first meeting either. The biggest problem: There will never be a second meeting. If we were talking visual novels or something like that? Yeah, it's no big deal. But with cyoas that is all we're ever going to get. If there are supposed to be hidden layers, tough luck, it may for all intents and purposes not exist.

>attempting to explain an entire person in mere sentences or paragraphs in any shape or form
Sure, doesn't mean you have to limit yourself to the more 'shallow' parts of a character. If you've ever written a character analysis at a college level, you should understand that it's possible to get a deep but still succinct description of a character.

>I don't think revealing one's ulterior motives and [..]
I feel like you're doing your characters a disservice with that though. After all, we're never going to find out whether they have these hidden depths to them and what they exactly are. That just makes them seem like they don't have anything going on at all beyond the obvious.

>I didn't get to know many people I hang around with[...]
Sure, but I hope the same doesn't apply to the people you have been/are in a relationship with. It's alright to not know all the minutiae, but I don't feel comfortable with people being close to me if I don't have a really solid grasp of who they are.

>People often don't make much of an impression at first unless they're really flamboyant with their personal qualities
I agree, but I don't think an appeal to realism is really all that appropriate. People also tend to lie about themselves during interviews/when you get to know them, but I just don't think that meshes well with cyoas.

>I like the mystery behind meeting new people
I do too. I'm not that fond of mysteries I don't ever get to solve though, you know? Even worse when I don't even find out what the mystery is supposed to be.

>>54646673
Probably won't be too long before we actually get them.

>>54646653

Doesn't anyone learn to write by just enjoying to read and write anymore?

>>54646709
It ultimately comes from asian spiritualism, where men produce a kind of spiritual energy in their semen that is safe to expel and healthy to because it regenerates, but which impacts your healthy negativity if you over expel it. This lead to the invention of succubus-like mythological creatures that sought to steal men's spiritual energy through their semen, and thus you see the modern trope.

>>54646705
SHODAN would be shit waifu. Disingenous, manipulative, megalomaniac, neither particularly interesting personality nor healthy attitude, more like schizophrenic bitch with god complex.

Don't take me wrong, she's absolutely awesome as a evil mastermind, plotting antagonist who taunts and manipulates the Hacker. But still a shit waifu.

>>54646684
>5) Actually go out and meet people
Woah, WOAH! Woah there Hoss, just what kind of insanity are you suggesting to these people?!!

>>54646616
Yes.

>>54646629
She was crazy, but she was good at writing fundamentals. She almost literally beat them into me. Like, she would sit me down and red-pen markup all mistakes in the writing.

I think having someone be this intimate woth your writing, like a proper mentor and not a crazy girlfriend, is very beneficial.

>>54646635
Yeah.

>>54646643
Gone forever. You can't pay me to go through that again.

>>54646657
I'm glad we're being honest.

>>54646730
Being a good reader and being a good writer are inherently different skills. Reading does help you develop a vocabulary and learn different styles, but writing is about actually applying that vocabulary in a satisfying manner. I read a lot of books in english for years before every trying to write and I fucking sucked for a long time until I forced myself to get better at it.

>>54646730
I learned to read to play FFIV back on the SNES.

But learning to write is a different matter.

>>54646723
Cell phones are going to be replaced by personalized AI assistants sorta like Eclipse Phase, and since it's likely people will get them at young ages after they're popularized, it's only natural a lot of people will become close to and waifu them.

Of course you're gonna have to jailbreak yours so she isn't just a corporate drone/spy.

>>54646742

The closest I could get to ideal is where you create your own and fill in the blanks. Or something like Chill Zone, where you could pretty much custom design and alter as you please, since people change and all

>>54646721
>you normally don't decide to get intimate with someone on first meeting

I'm not sure but I don't think there's ever been more than a 2h time period between getting to meet someone and having sex with them for me. We're not all prudes.

>>54646764
How'd you force yourself? I've read enough to where I've merged together things and have a style I consider neat, but in terms of proper word placement I'm still a complete novice.

>>54646743
I know I know. I should be smarter.

>>54646709
Man, I didn't know this was a thing. A monogamous succubus waifu who feeds on semen is an old fantasy of mine.

>>54646740
Second part of your post is wrong. You're correct in regards to asian spiritualism but you shouldn't prop it with succubi thing - that's completely unrelated, European concept stemming from religious repression of sexuality and demonization of it, coupled with exploitation of superstition through using succubi as a scapegoat for infidelity and similar sex-related offences in said setting.

Being a bit of yandere fag myself I repeat myself - SHODAN would be a shit waifu. There may be people into that but certainly yandere fans aren't among them. If anything, SHODAN is an anthithesis of yandere - not possessive, overflowing with love and driven by powerful feelings, however misdirected - but selfish, using others as tools and then getting rid of them coldly, without emotion, wll, machine.

>>54646573

In most lewd CYOA waifus are meant to be simple, lewd fucktoys, at least potentially. And since those are lewd CYOA, I think it's fine.

It's actually just another expression of the asian inferiority complex or rather their lacking self-image. They are completely obsessed with the concept of the asian macho male who conquers entire nations and species with their dick. It's an ideal they pretty much worship. This in contrast with their low self-esteem leads to certain other topics to ne popularized. It's an odd thing.
