There was a novel where a dude got reborn and he programmed windows 95 himself in like a week, which made me sad, this is the kind of logical errors i understand complaining about, but when it comes to physics involved? I'd say it's stupid.
Tfw people justify everything with different 'world' or 'universe' excuse...

N0xiety 'cause, like I said, im on chapter 550. It's been a long time since I read this part of the story.
You can now choose what to believe in:
The name of the technique is an anagram, hence why so much emphasis on the name.
The alchemist in question really believed that Zhang was a demon (I do not need to explain the belief that usually exists in these stories, right?).
The alchemist knew the "seer" occupation, which would explain how Zhang know the name of the skill. ** "seer" is mentioned by Shen Bi Ru in some other chapter.
This is to be just a simple explanation, but let's now consider the whole image;
If that alchemist said that Zhang read his mind, what would happen? Someone who has just been exposed stealing the techniques of others, would anyone take him seriously?
Whereas that alchemist was only a mediocre 1-star, would he seek trouble with Zhang, who is also an alchemist 1-star?
Supposing he had the guts to do this, would he continue with this after three Master Teachers started trying to befriend with Zhang?
Again; stop measuring fantasy stories using our reality as a medium or you will always get the answer "is another world".
Flaffy I mentioned the details only in my advice on how to take the better of the chinese novels and I'm just talking about LOHP because the OP mentioned it.
well i mean the story we are reading is fiction the whole point that it doesnt really need a logical basis and i can understand how youre frustrated sometimes with like characters doing stupid things but the setting ca be whatever dude like if the mc craps out rainbows let him crap rainbows dude if i wanted reality i wouldnt be reading a story about a dude that transmigrates and has a system that literally helps out of any situation
People shouldn't try to justify story's.... Cuz that's what they are...just stories
MonstrousBirdOfQin That's like saying people shouldn't think and shouldn't have a brain...

MonstrousBirdOfQin And I find people who want novels to be logical even more stupid.... Its a Gdamn novel, logic doesn't apply to them.
If people shouldn't try to justify stories, then that means it's pointless to think on it, because no matter how much you think on it, you shouldn't question the novel by your logic. If people shouldn't search for logic in novels, then that means people should leave their brain behind when reading novels. That's exactly what you are saying...
Mute tell that to the scientists in big bang theory and the thousands out there who go to comic con and debate these things....it's part of the fictional culture...just cause you don't like to do it doesn't mean everyone is like you.
To me people saying you cannot debate fiction is like a person saying in an art gallery "What are yyou all measuring? It's all based on opinion anyways isn't that art!??!"
I'm sorry you don't enjoy those convos. You don't have to join.
N0xiety "Isn't it annoying when people reply to your comments that question the logic of novel by claiming everything is perfectly fine because it's a different world or universe?"
Right. If you find it annoying, then stop arguing with them and move on. You can clearly understand that it's their favourite novel, yet they may not know exactly why. It's like having a different taste in food; some people like a certain food, and when questioned about it, they just say they like it because it tastes good :)
If you're getting annoyed by their argument, about a fantasy web novel might I add, then just move on.
Flaffy I don't have to join and i can also say you're ridiculous and pathetic for discussing realism in a genre where realism has never nor will it ever be considered.
If you think thousands go to comic con and debate actual flaws in physics in fiction then you're delusional, they certainly debate characters, but in the real world, supermans punch would cause an atomic bomb like explosion, yet you don't see people commenting on that, or when superman moved the freaking planet back into orbit, or you know, the fact he shoots freaking lasers out his eyes.
This thread... was destined to become a warzone... As for this matter, I really wouldn't know because I've never thought too deeply about the things that go on in these novels... If someone replied to you and said something you don't like or are annoyed by, just pretend they said anything to get exp points, therefore it's not really valid :smiley: Just float away into your own world... (Like I do)

Mute Yeah, ok if you say so....but I would just like you to note, there is a whole class in my school dedicated to this.
Here is an actual book a scientist wrote for Star Wars to debate what is real and what is not in Star Wars there are many other books like it. People are not as crazy as you make them out to be, curiosity is what breathes life into science. Even if that curiosity was from a book that was fiction!
Calling people delusional for exploring the realities of fiction is just mean spirited imo. Just because you don't care about the fictional world and how it might relate to our own reality, doesn't mean others don't. It's actually more healthy for the mind to try to distinguish fact from fiction before you end up like a delusional person.
N0xiety Everyone is free to question logic in fiction. However, you should also remember that everyone is free to tolerate the non-existence of logic too in the same way.
Questioning logic in fiction that's not really based on logic is just being a party pooper to be honest. Most people don't read these things based on how believable they are anyway, but on how enjoyable they are. So these people party-pooping your attitude of questioning is to be expected. No one is exactly right in the end. It's a matter of perspective, and a matter of how much you're able to tolerate.
Maybe these stories aren't for you anyway. Maybe there's a story there somewhere that will fit your expectations. You just have to find them. These stories you're complaining about are certainly being enjoyed without any problems by a lot of people. It's impossible to write something that will be liked 100% by everyone anyway so why bother.
You just killed my entire wuxia pen and paper with your post... (ಠ﹏ಠ) slowly dies because crippling depression like GoGo ୧ꔸ╭╮ꔸ୨ Stupid logic makes it easier to write a story, with most people ignoring it for the sake of entertaiment ȌᨓȌ
