Guide on how to uplift artist(including ai gen)

This is to my Fellow artist, let's teach people on how to be better rather than simply tell them to be better, let's also do this for ai gen to remind that if they actually want to be artist, they need to listen to criticism, instead of condemning them and spread hate, we should strive to put effort to bringing any kind of ai gen into something beautiful rather than just prompt then post. What we need is less delusion and start actually teaching them, so that no matter how they use ai, their eyes tell them that "this isn't good enough" and then strive to put more effort into the base itself( i.e. via basic editing)🥰❤️

hard scifi in nihonkoku shoukan fanfic

About a few months ago I've been trying to make this fic where I replaced the transmigration magic BS with an actual interstellar navigation because ✨ReAlIsM✨ in which I kinda dug my own hole here since, if I were to make a hard scifi, then I also have to be a professional in that field, not just by concepts but by experience too, all while not making it into another Avatar copy pasta

I really wanna change the whole thing down to it's core because on how I feel about it, nihonkoku shoukan is really a great concept but not as a story, so many plotholes, so many forgettable characters, and fact that its fanfics are way better than itself is testament on when a bad writing meets nationalism or something like that

I'm actually here for consulting, not for ranting, I don't really wanna spending many hours of my life just for it to result into failure.

I published the first chapter in Wattpad, it's called "Summoning Humanity [NHS] " and if you like, I have a draft for chapter 2 let me know if you're interested

But to make things short:

It's the 23rd century, war for the solar system has already ended, multiple technologies hasn't really changed much except for the fact that its for space, earth became a single country and all that, heavily inspired by "The Expanse" and "Savages asteroid" it's the dawn of interstellar age but it was mostly triggered by the unknown signal and they just felt that it's going to attack... So they funded the whole thing which is still calculating

The ship they are using is none military by nature and only has small security force, so going into a planet in which they think is inhabited but it was actually habited, they have to compete for it since it's the only planet that has flora and fauna, and since it's a generational ship, they wanted to experience an earth like environment, oh and not to mention the gravity which is heavily overlooked by most fanfics.

But the thing is that they are not competing for survival, even without a military, the tech gap should easily compensate for local wild Fauna/threats, they only an island or an archipelago in which luckily for them, given the size of the planet, they claimed an island the size of the south east Asian archipelago. Resources is not the problem they just need a refuge

The whole thing is just getting away from Earth because aliens exist, they might come so we cowered, only to discover that there's a bunch of species out here living in the 1900s or something so instead of surviving,it became an exploration which is what the generational ship

Was advertised

I feel like I've reached a dead end. I've gone through fanfiction net, AO3 syoyetsu, fanfictions that feels like summoning Japan, of course I skipped a lot of fanfics but mostly because I know it's a copy paste reskin (slop) I mean I'm sorry but I can't just read it

But I still believe there's a hidden gem I haven't mined yet, any Idea where I could prospect them?

Hey guys,

Some of you have probably seen bits of this already, but I wanted to share the final product.

I’ve been building out a project called The Magical Code of Regulations, which is exactly what it sounds like: a full legal code for magic, written in the style of real administrative law. It treats magic the way we treat things like tax and finance, with a ton if oversight, licensing, enforcement, and a whole lot of bureaucratic gobbledy-gook.

499 pages of it, in fact, lol. Was inspired from my time at the IRS, where I stared at tax code all day. Eventually, learned to embrace the pain, and wanted to exert that pain on others, whether they be worldbuilders, D&D players and DMs, writers, or just people that want a cool-ass coffee table book.

The focus from a worldbuilding standpoint is primarily about how a society would realistically try to control magic. So instead of just defining spells or systems, it gets into questions like who is authorized to cast, how high risk magic is classified, what happens when someone bends the rules, and how different areas like necromancy or prophecy get carved out and handled differently.

One thing I leaned on pretty heavily was the use historical annotations to include little notes about when and why something was enacted, which ends up doubling as worldbuilding. It’s kind of like how, in real life, you can trace legislation and case history to understand why a rule exists in the first place, except here those explanations sometimes involve magical disasters, political overreactions, or someone very specific causing a problem that now everyone else has to deal with (thanks, David).

It’s meant to read like a real system that exists inside a semi-functioning world (but with some humorous sections added in for some levity), and I thought you guys might find it interesting because I just haven't seen others go as in-depth when it comes to fantasy law, and I think you could find use for it when crafting your own worlds and stories!

Anyways, if you’re interested, the eBook is up for pre-order on Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX2SX1NJ

And it’s already available as an ePub on DriveThruFiction here:
https://www.drivethrufiction.com/en/product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations?affiliate_id=5121378

Print versions on Amazon are planned for May 12, maybe a bit sooner if I can manage.

More than anything though, I’m curious how other people approach this side of worldbuilding. A lot of magic systems focus on rules and limitations, but not as much on governance. If your world has magic, what actually keeps it in check? Is there a formal system, or is it more cultural, religious, or just chaos that no one’s figured out how to contain?

Would love to hear how you’ve handled it.
