farlaChapter Six is up. Finally, the third district!
Something about falls-into-game self inserts. There's either never the chapter where the character just sits down and explains they know anything, or else the story immediately grinds to a halt after it. From a story perspective, the first impulse is to have the insert show off their awesome knowledge, but afterward, what can you do with it? The rest of the story would be just the self insert going "Oh, and now you have to do x" and the characters doing it. So you get all sorts of absurd situations where the self insert tries not to tell anyone, for no explained reason. (The same covers even situations where there's no plot to spoil - every falls-into-pokeworld sue ever lies her head off and tries to pretend she's native, probably because the authors don't want to actually deal with what just happened.)
Also, Warlorn-chan's reviews seem to be getting misogynistic.But what are his thoughts on yaoi?
