English is not my first language either but I find that excuse embarrassing. At least they should make the effort to make it readable.IIRC their only response to those types of criticism is "i'l lOOk fOr a bEtA", "englIsh is nOt my fIrst lAngUAgE", "thIs is my fIrst tIme", etc.
Even though you could use the internet to proof read some stuff and even improve later on.
Lord X-Sama is a massive redundancy.IKR it's so damn annoying especially when they go like this "Lord X-Sama"
Like WTF
I mean if the world is set in Japan or a Feudal Japanese setting I think these authors were going with the whole accurate Japanese style of speaking even though its an English fanfic. I mean given on how sometimes in real life they do say sama or dono in old time Japanese though the problem is that in English a lot of these phrases get lost and would not feel authentic Japanese. Or that if it was set in Japan but with different way of titles of a different country it would be kinda weird and not really making sense I mean imagine in Naruto, and other Japan based anime say other country way of expressions?Yeah and especially hate it when in some Naruto fanfics, he'll say dattebayo instead of believe it because that's what he says in Japanese. Now keep in mind the issue for me isn't the usage of Japanese words, lots of stories do that, my issue is if the story is in English or another language then why bother adding in these titles or expressions when your own language has it's own titles and expressions? Not to mention if you want to convey that a character is speaking in a loving, respectful or neutral tone then write down what the character is saying and feeling instead of these foreign expressions
That would be nice if used right, though pure English can still get the message across just fine imo, but unfortunately many of these are used in stuff as asinine as.....sigh......Harry Potter.I mean if the world is set in Japan or a Feudal Japanese setting I think these authors were going with the whole accurate Japanese style of speaking even though its an English fanfic.

Though the sad thing is that they use it and make such a horrible fanfic with Harem, bashing and other stupid crap, that downgrades the fanfic. It's a shame because I was writing with the Japanese wording and my fanfic was based on a fusion fic of InuYasha, Demon Slayer, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and many other Feudal Japan set Anime and games where these stuff would crop up but sadly now thanks to these shitty fanfics I feel like I would be insulted if I used it even though I am using it to tell a story on how olden Japan was like and the interesting world fusions.
That I agree with since quite a few characters use the Japanese suffix as part of their character and without just seems wrong, I mean if the authors do it right and not use it in a non Japanese world setting like say Power Rangers, RWBY, Hellsing Ultimate, Harry Potter and other non Japanese setting would be just dumb and weird because they have their own way of suffix and speaking.In my personal opinion, I don't mind with using the suffix such as (sama, san, kun, chan, etc) on enlish language fanfic, IF they done it right.
Using suffix is more of a culture of Japan, and fanfic author are free trying to follow it or not. But of course, this doesn't apply to every single franchies out there. Using japanese suffix on a fanfic from a franchies that isn't originate from Japan is obviously wrong (Imagine a RWBY fanfic using the japanese suffix, even though they don't originate from Japan). But using it on franchies originated from Japan is optional, depending on the author's taste.
There is also the fact that using japanese suffix is more fitting for a certain characters. Let's use Madoka as an example:
- Madoka is your average polite girl who uses the suffix (san, sama, senpai, dono) when she is being respectful/formal to others (Such when she uses either "san or senpai" after Mami's name and using "san" during her forst conversation with Homura).
- When talking to someone she personally know and comfortably being casual around them, she will uses the suffix "chan" for a girl and "kun" for a boy. (She refers Sayaka as "Sayaka-chan" since they both are childhood friend and there is no need for formalities with them.)
I cannot imagine Madoka talking to Mami without adding the suffix since it doesn't fit with her character at all. And using the english term such as (Madam, Miss) just sounds wrong IMO (it made Mami sounds like a mid-twenties woman and not Madoka's classmate). Heck, even some anime english subtitles still uses the japanese suffix too.
All in all, there is actually nothing wrong with using japanese term on english language fanfic. It just, there are certain circumstances that should be followed to make it work.
Ah...well in edgy fanfic terms like Naruto, Jaune, and Harry Potter then yes.So is it customary in Percy Jackson for Percy to be betrayed by everyone, become the son of a powerful primordial or Chaos and become Edgy Mc Edge Edge
In a nutshell, yes.So is it customary in Percy Jackson for Percy to be betrayed by everyone, become the son of a powerful primordial or Chaos and become Edgy Mc Edge Edge
He was. Then some dude thought, "but what if he was stronger? And got all the girls?"@Planck69 well that sounds like false advertisement, I thought Percy Jackson was essentially a loveable dork that acted as a gateway between being from real life and interacting with Greek mythology
I think the worst part is when the edgy assholes are thought of as "misunderstood" or "anti-heroes" by the rest of the case even though they're doing reprehensible stuff. And when they do try to make true evil protagonists, they just come of as 15 year old edgelords more than anything intimidating.@OneBleachHurricane see that's my biggest gripe with fanfic edgy characters. It's that edgy characters normally are able to display human emotions they're just more reclusive and isolated in comparasion to optimistic characters due to some trauma from the past, but these fanfic writers don't give their characters those human qualities and so they become complete and utter douchebags
Eh, they can be done quite well. Of course, it'd require a proper and sensible build-up showing how his worldview and mortality changes over time for the reasons specified, though in the case of an altered backstory and personality, this becomes easier.So fellas, what's your opinion on fanfics where a good character becomes an evil antagonist? In fanfiction land IMO, it's a cheap copout to make an otherwise decent character into an unlikable ass alongside being used as an excuse to have lots of **** and explicit and detailed scenes of gore and torture
