    People like this are honestly hilarious

    Today, I got a certain message, one that I've had a few times in the past.

    It's about a random person who I've never met, complaining about a comment I left on an M-Rated incestuous story, wherein I said "incest is wincest".

    A Long Overdue Update

    A fair few people have been asking when I'll get around to continuing The Evil Paradox.

    Short answer is, I will.

    The long answer? The last couple years haven't exactly been kind to me for a variety of reasons that I don't really want to get into, but what I will say is that it has a lot to do with finances and mental health.

    Monster Hunter is such a time sink

    200 hours in two and a half months of one of my favourite games of all time, sorry-not sorry I haven't written a single damned word of anything lately I've just been having way too much fun for what feels like the first time in years that isn't the toxic fucking cesspool that is Overwatch.

    finally fucking finished

    This chapter of TEP has just been one headache after another.

    Imagine trying to complete a 5000 piece black and white gradient puzzle and having it take two years to do.

    I don't know how much of a shit-show this chapter actually is until I get it sent off to be edited.

4500 words, my delicious army!

Also, I was reading back through the chapter and I found it to be rather dialogue-heavy. Personally I want to have an even balance between dialogue and general exposition, so to speak. I'll have my go-to editor run through it.

But, depending on how heavy on the dialogue it is exactly, I want to know in advance what you guys think of that kind of thing. Does it take away from the story by making it too long with characters speaking to each other? Would it be better if it was read from a book, or something else?

Let me know.

Personally I think it'd be fine with a lot of dialogue. Your stories are great, and you portray the characters in a way that's true to themselves, and that includes dialogue, so I'm sure it'd be fine. It really depends on the content of the dialogue, though. If you feel that it doesn't have much to do with the plot, then remove it. Otherwise, keep it.

I'm just paranoid that people will complain that there is too much dialogue. I want to try and remove what could be construed as unnessecary.

In my defense, in a situation with an alien creature coming to your planet will cause a lot of stir and thus invoke a fuckton of discussion.

So long as the dialogue itself is entertaining, I could sit here and read a script all day long. For anyone who is unaware, Japanese light novels are almost entirely dialogue. They barely ever even describe the scene.
