Yes, characters like Kirito and settings like SAO are pretty trash, but your previous post seemed to also take issue with having inhuman characters in a fantasy setting, which is honestly absurd. why would a fantasy setting only be about normal humans?

Eh, not so much an issue with that, personally. But it also feels a bit done to death.

I wouldn't mind something akin to the World of Wizardry, or Harry Potter, where you have mostly humans who can use magic interacting with fantastical creatures. That's something barely ANYONE has done on this site with few exceptions (Azur Deutschland comes to mind).

Sorry for assuming then. The wording just seemed like you viewed it negatively.
Also, funny that you mention Azur as that is me.

Yea. Like, it's just weird that when one things FanT anywhere else, they think stuff like "oh yea, Warhammer!" or "Haha! Harry Potter!"

Then on NS it's mostly "furries, probably. Or weird humanoids." Not that I'm complaining. It's rather nice. But it's still done to death.

On the flipside, it's hard to find a nation of non-humans that AREN'T FanT in ANY regard. Something like the setting of MAUS or that one weird furry mod for HOI4.

Oh boy, new thread, and new cliche's. So, how many NS cliché's are prevalent in worldbuilding outside of NS? Space empires with their oh so epic military is basically something you see in sci-fi since... well, since military sci-fi became popular.
____
500 years ago, the universe saw an apocalypse that destroyed most spacefaring lifeforms caused by self-replicating machines, the universe went into a dark age until species that weren't advanced enough for the machine-swarm to detect started travelling into space. It is now the 23rd century, the universe is currently at 'peace'. Will this 'peace' last, or will this new universe end up like the last one?


Progress report: yes... maybe... probably

✶ ✶ ✶ The Naturalist Federation of Laguzrauth ✶ ✶ ✶

- AHAKS NEWS RADIO -
01/15/1583 2000 GST: The trial for the murder of Faurgamu Reiks, the former head of National Revival who had connections to the terrorist group the Harjis Witoth, comes to a conclusion. Both Awareik Fairgunein and Hawi Marthal were convicted of second-degree murder. The public has a mixed response, with some agreeing with the sentencing and others believing the killing was justified. Presiding judge Aiktriu K. Kam responds, "I stand with the law, not public opinion."
Red Lake does not necssarily represent my personal views. I promise I'll make a tech factbook eventually. NS stats didn't respect the wildlife and got mauled. Language is Gothic.
