Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Not only girls can jade, like, in 绝代双骄, the sexy father of the sexy twin bois, Jiang Feng, is called "Jade Male", and he's counterpart to his sworn brother Yan Nantian, and in the book, there's a saying "No woman in the world can resist Jiang Feng's smile, no man in the world can resist Yan Nantian's sword"
Some of these idioms (well, not idioms in the English sense, but you know) are kind of clever; "red" (红) + "beauty" (颜) + "knowledge" (知) + "self" (己) = sexy confidante lmao
Maybe an alternate, more interesting Zam would be one that still isekais to a lowly medieval/antiquity setting, but this Zam is really smart and deduces a method for magic from people's mysticism and religion and becomes the founder of magic
This Zam isekaied, and System Fish told Zam this is a dangerous high fantasy world where big bads destroy dimensions and swallow worlds, so Zam became a hikineet otaku inside her newbie wizard's tower where Zam learned magic for a thousand years and became a thousand-year-old virgin an Archmage, but after walking out, she found out it's just a medieval world that is only half a step into low fantasy...
What is funnier is that the term 香 is also often used when a pretty girl reveals that she is actually a boy in disguise; with the meme phrase "兄弟,你好香", which is supposed to mean the poster of that message thinks the girl being a boy makes her more attractive
Anyway, maybe that's why people in our world spawn without the consciousness that they are in a simulation, but it seems like this only mitigates a small fraction of excessive human behavior
It feels like in stories where you isekai collectively into a game (or "if you die in the game, you die in real life") on mass, like if everyone in the world enters a game, it turns out the NPCs/otherworld population aren't the most hateful, and it seems like no matter how you write, it's actually other gamers/players who are the ones who deserve to die the most,
"We've only known each other for fifteen minutes and you've already kissed me! And it's the kind with the tongue! Do you think I'm some casual, loose woman you can kiss without consequence? Get back here and let me kiss you back, damn it!"
So female xianxia novels and male xianxia novels seem to be on opposite spectrums; male ones tend to be 'if anyone offends me, I kill them', 'kill the young, come the old', and 'in the immortal world, there are only ants, fellow daoists, and seniors', while female is 'perhaps I should compromise with this hot guy', 'will they, won't they', 'I have so many jealous half-sisters and jealous stepmothers'
