This Is A Straight Up Mess

It’s an interesting difference that the events from Rin’s perspective are vicious, while from Nezha’s it is cruel.

hey, ao3 user i_hate_ai_fic

1. ai witch hunt is harming genuine writers as much as ai does, if not more. you are harming genuine writers as much as ai does, if not more.

2. ai was trained to mimic human-made works. if you think a work “looks like it was created by ai”, please ask yourself what you think ai was trained on and what you think it was trained to mimic.

3. re: this post and this post. you can never know for sure if a work was written by ai (no, ai checker doesn’t work, the machine itself is ai and unreliable). you can only guess based on vibes. so yes, there’s always a chance of you wrongly accusing a genuine writer who doesn’t use ai to create their works.

4. this is the exact reason genuine writers no longer share their works and why more and more genuine writers take their human-made works down.

5. no matter what you claim, I believe this can be considered harassment if what you’re doing results in people getting harassed, which is against ao3’s terms of service — meaning people can still report you for this.

with all that said, I believe this isn’t how collections on ao3 work anymore (so if anything, there’s a chance this is just troll/ragebait, which is shitty regardless). here’s how ao3 collections actually work now.

edit: apparently this is how they bypass ao3’s system

if you can, please make sure to give love, kudos, nice comments and support to works under this person’s bookmarks here.

bonus:

This man is AT BEST a first year grad student trying to finish compulsory military service in an active war zone while running the family business (ruling a legit kingdom) and taking on extracurriculars (leading a rebellion) as side hustles. On top of that there’s a literal plague of evil descending, institutional racism is against him, and his Situationship (calling Violet that cuz a lot happens there over two books and I’m trying to cover all the relationship levels) never seems to settle out for more than a month at a time.

Obviously need to talk about the beautifully horrific book that The Poppy War is

There are some books that you know even before you start reading them, that they will change your life, and The Poppy War was one of those books for me. RF Kuang said she would write a Military Fantasy and boy, she did.

The characters are so well written and complex characters, and they were COMPLEX, nobody was inherently good or bad, and they made decisions like soldiers during war. She did not hold back on writing about the brutalities of war, the action was perfectly written to fit right into the storyline effortlessly.

It's a violent book, it is not one for children, there are so many content warnings before you even start the book, and I guess that's what it is when you read a book that depicts the harsh reality of war as well as this book has. The horrors of war and the brutal scenes are all written not just for dramatic effect, but it's all so important for the character development and the story to progress.

Rin is by far the best protagonist I've read about in a while. She was such a well-developed character, a true multi-faceted heroine and a complete badass. I love the way Rin's personality grew in front of us while the story took place in a 3rd person POV through Rin's eyes.

Now I need to talk about the writing, the word building, the emotions, the descriptions, it's all enough to make you shiver and give you goosebumps.

He is born to be a political pawn for his father, who's only job is to serve his country, and he accepts this fact eary on. He knows deep down his parents will never love him enough because of what he is, but he still seeks his father's praise despite knowing that he will never be respected.

He has all the power of a nation and its military behind him, but he still is forced to concede to colonizers that he see him as subhuman and backwards because of his race. He has divine shamanic abilities, but is controlled and abused by the Dragon as nothing more than a plaything. He wants to die, but is forced to be immortal by a god he never wanted to serve.

He loves Rin, but knows that that has "never mattered" because of the cycle of history they've trapped themselves in. And at the end of the series he's forced to stab her in the heart, by her own hand and decision, not his.
