You think I’m trying to promote narrative for financial success? I’m making the case for it as a more enjoyable expression of the worlds we make, not trying demean the act of world building itself. The fact that you’re so defensive about it is frankly a little strange to me, and tells me you either misunderstood me, didn’t read the whole post, or feel inadequate about your own work. As for the HPL stuff, you’re right that h focused less on character, but his stories are framed in the context of an interesting philosophical narrative about our place in the universe and the malevolence or uncaring nature of the cosmos - I.E. the villain, man vs nature/the unknown. If you took that away from his stories and just had a list of names and drawings, it would be interesting on the level of novelty, but it wouldn’t be nearly as compelling.

I’m not trying to discourage you, I’m just saying you should take your shit to the next level.

No. I’m saying that I am and have always been a world builder, but that personally I find it more gratifying to share what I’ve made with other people through a means that is more unified than simply showing them a bunch of my notes and drawings. It’s fine if you don’t feel the same way, I’m just making an argument for sharing your creations through writing, since we are, after all, on a board about /lit/erature.

I tried getting into Berserk but I don't get it desu. I watched the '97 anime and bought the first 5 deluxes, but it all seems like juvenile nonsense with too much gore and paper thin characters. It's got nice art, but it's pretty much an Elric ripoff with Hellraiser aesthetics. Guts is like a 13 yo's idea of Conan and Griffith is every comic book supervillain sapped of all identity (and also a literal faggot) with no plan. The story ends up with fairies and whatever from what I've seen, so what am I missing? I like some Nipshit, but I find that most of the characters are non-beings, and the writing's always very stilted, as if it's a robot trying to imitate a human and then pass that through a translator. I don't get why it's so lauded as a mature manga. It's like every other edgy anime with faux kewl lines thrown there. Is it just 13 YOs LARPing as

>yfw the Achaians didn’t even need Achilles to win, the only reason Achilles was useful at all is because Zeus stepped in to prevent Diomedes from winning the war himself

I love my job, but when I'm not actively working I just feel lost, I have lots of books that I don't read I have games I don't play. I just sit and ait for the next time I get to go in to work. Think it's a problem

classic amerimutt puritan dogma

I have been trying dating apps and actually interacting with women. I hate it.

BUT. I have been friends with a tomboyish girl for like a decade. We play PS4 every week with each other and get along better with each other absurdly well. But I have always seen her as a friend.

But now im actually trying to take an active interest in women Im realizing that maybe she could be the one. I dunno we are both pretty weird. But I dont wanna ruin a 10 year friendship.

And yes I know I sound like a little bitch

What a vapid guide. It basically misses the entire problem with self-improvement which is getting yourself to actually do all these things. People already know you should take care of your hygiene, diet, exercise and socialize with people, but for a myriad of complex psychological reasons they can't and/or won't. A truly beneficial guide would either offer insight into the nature of these psychological problems and/or offer practical steps to get around them.

literally the only thing that is embarrassing is you saying that you hope an anon commits suicide over a discussion on 4chan.

>>13538152
have some fucking respect, instead of criticizing a legend, who has done nothing but good to philosophy.

>>13529662
do you even have a personality or an identity?

Degree =/= knowledge

You should consider studying philosophy since you can't even reason before you post useless threads.
