ok it is very weird to write your own fictional sister being raped

though "The Unauthorized Autobiography" is one of my favorite reads of all time and there's a passage in it that made me laugh until I cried for like 10+ minutes. There's a line about how he, trying to tail someone without being seen, "disguised himself as a cow and hid behind a tree, to disguise himself as a cow hiding behind a tree". It was absurd and had cows and hit perfect.

TL;DR
Kit Snicket is told that Dewey is dead
Dewey was the good guy who owned the hotel
She cries about this and says she lost everything, including her "true love"
Five seconds later Olaf shows up

????
there was no rape

It's worth trying, I can definitely be critical of it. One of the hardest things to stomach is the isekai autism of "participants have a personalized HUD of character sheets, stats, skills, and the narrated or character discussion of them," but where it shines is the broader galaxy where planets are seeded, then legally exploited for resources and reality TV and Carl having to navigate talk shows about how he's doing well & beefing with factional corporation drama he can't possibly maneuver in or fully comprehend.

Some of the language choices are a little cringe, and lean left. "Hard pass" is said twice too often and some of the pop cultural references will fall flat. It's still worth seeing a grand idea like this mostly play out past the setup, which is where many of the animu and mangos peter out. It's about as far along as Overlord or Reincarnated as a Slime where the main plot or goal is fleshed out and it feels like it'll be finished this decade.
 
Concerning implied rape in A Series of Unfortunate Events, you may be thinking of the hospital one. Some time ago I was skimming tvtropes pages for random books I had read in the past and noted that they seemed pretty convinced that Mr. Snicket didn't just start randomly bringing up le petit morte for no reason.

I haven't re-read the text in question since, so I don't recall how on point that observation was or wasn't.

In my opinion, it's become a little tiresome as it's progressed. The main flaw being that the last couple books have had the climactic "shit's going down" scenario go on for almost a whole third of the book. But at least the LitRPG influence has reduced more and more as the series continues.

I feel LitRPGs tend to work best when the RPG part is in the background for the most part, and do not have an entire page of stats at the end of every chapter. Primal Hunter was very egregious in this for the first couple of books.

I stopped reading a series of unfortunate events after the book where the gang gets shipped off to boarding school and spends the entire book running laps. It was really dumb. I think the series peaked at the one (second or third?) where they moved in with the Montgomery Montgomery reptile guy.

I remember owning this but don't remember actually reading it. It had the reversible sleeve where the cover changed to read "the pony party" or something like that.
 
Let’s see how the Poles reacted to USIPS’s first polish tweet about the stopkillinggames petition

The Anime’s seem to not be for it

Other poles think that it’s only for crappy games.

But there’s one Smart Pole telling everyone that they’re retarded and to actually read the petition

And there’s multiple Polish memes lmao
I wonder how many advertising credits USIPS’s xeet cost
 
The Kaceytron bit is so boring. Women need to pass a test distinguishing incels from generic misogynists before they can use that word imho. Misusing it gives way too much cover.

Law Thread 'Meta, TikTok can’t toss wrongful death suit from mom of “subway surfing” teen'


Ashley Belanger – Jun 30, 2025

Section 230 has so far failed to shield Meta and TikTok owner ByteDance from a lawsuit raised by a mother who alleged that her son's wrongful death followed a flood of "subway surfing" videos platforms intentionally targeted to teens in New York.

In a decision Monday, New York State Supreme Court Judge Paul Goetz largely denied social media companies' motions to dismiss claims...

This prompted me to look up other state laws because hunting baited deer is illegal where I’m at: apparently Hawaii has like no restrictions on deer hunting which is wild to me because it’s not like they have the near unlimited numbers the continental states have. Alaska, Florida, and Texas are all more restrictive than Hawaii.
 
I did not imagine Null to be a Count Olaf groyper!

Royal Road is the origin of these obnoxious literary trends along with people primarily consuming anime instead of culture from THE VVEST. You have look for minor authors who stalk self-publishing or niche magazine/publishing groups to find anything of worth nowadays like Quarter Lives. Nutcranker by Dan Baltic is one of such gems in the rough. It's a modern day spin of Don Quixote with a terminally online right-wing sperg called Spencer Grunhauer being maniacally convinced of his grand design to SAVE THE WEST. Doctor Universalis by Gaston Nerval is a kino read too. Same with The Dream God by Brendan M.P Heard and

There's also short story collections to keep track of like Graphomania by Ana Krivolapova and Millenium by Marty Phillips. The only other fiction I can recently recommend is Intermezzo by Sally Rooney but that's within a distinctly Irish context so I don't know how well all this would translate to others.

Hawaiians are fat and only eat Spam so restricting deer hunting does not matter to them as it is not spam or corn beef.

Hawaiian deer are all invasive and very damaging to the environment, they probably want them all dead.
