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!
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
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
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"
So after the players ran away to the safe zone, Edwin Vancleef forced on them an undroppable quest to kill 2000 of those newbie level 2 kobolds, and the reward was 1 exp lmao
I saw this other one where players who enter the game are, to the natives, basically eldritch horrors, and like, one of the things they have to do is hide that they are players or abnormal or whatever
The one I read most recently is basically like if the skills you learn can be used IRL, but you can't just pay gold in game, you gotta do the thing to get the skills, and the MC is Edwin Vancleef, but he goes camping Northshire Valley, and gives quests, but withholds 95% of the rewards, and he aphrodisiaced Lady Katrana Prestor at the start, and now she's in love with him
Sigh. Finished CP again. The good thing about CP is that, I guess, there's no good endings. It took me a long time to come to terms with that. No wish fulfillment. There's momentary rushes, you know, memorable scenes and happy times, but it doesn't last. Bittersweet is the most memorable, but it takes some life experience to really enjoy it. Kinda like, I guess, Forrest Gump or Shawshank Redemption. Hm.
If you think about it, Optimus Prime is a truck. So if trucks isekai, then if Optimus Prime hits a human, then would he be isekaied? Obviously, this effect doesn't work on other transformers, but you never know about the squishies.
