Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This is a legit problem for web novels and wuxia (which get written and released chapter by chapter).
Lot's of random plot arcs that go nowhere, and a lot of recycled story structure.
I stopped reading Tales of Demons and Gods halfway through, because the main character gains the ability to pause time and "power up" whenever he wants. I was already quite tired of it, but that was the "fuck this book" moment
I shall seal the heavens and The Desolate Era are some of my favorites (although TDE has some severe plot meandering syndrome)
