There isn't anything wrong with your suggestion.

 

But, I prefer the entry exist even if there are no existing chapters.  Because if there are no entries, I can look for another source.  But if the entry didn't exist, I wouldn't know the comic existed.  You are right that mangaupdates works fine as a catalogue.  I've been getting used to using a mixture of mangaupdates and batoto to find the mangas I want to read.  

Neon Shadow, I really love your question.  I've probably only absorbed 10% of whats been said, forgive me.  

 

From my experience, insults occur from repetition of facts/beliefs, lack of understanding, a way of defense, a way of retaliation.  Thats probably not all of them but those are some I've experienced.  

 

Sometimes what someone says rubs in the wrong way, and it's an insult.  The more they repeat it, the more they show that they are oblivious to your feelings.  Maybe they simply don't understand how you feel.  You possibly have tried to voice out your feelings, but it comes out the wrong way.  The longer the misunderstanding is left alone, the more your relationship feels strained.  You start to get defensive around the person, you start to deny everything.  Eventually you break and start attacking as a way of defense, as a way of retaliation.  You start poking at others weaknesses, only to invite the same from them.  

 

Thats how I feel insults are like.  Or rather how the cycle occurs.  Insults occur from a weakness in the self.  And I feel like argument is the only way to mend insults.  My understanding of argument is to understand what the other side is trying to convey, as you convey your own emotions.  

Dont worry to love manga you don't have to read alot. There isn't much reason to read alot of manga. There is not much you can get out from reading all that manga. I read too much, and honestly nothing really changes.

I want to emphasize, the fact for any of this to work. People have to make reviews first.

Even if English isn't your native language, the criticism is directed at your ability to make an argument, particularily in an essay styled post.

My criticism is only directed at your initial post. Whether or not outside sources support your argument or not, is not part of the point. I would prefer, if you can spare the time, if you edit your original post, to include these sources. Be sure to adequately use the sources in your argument. I didn't ask you to explain anything I just suggested it was in your best interest when making an argument to be clear, concise, and supportive of your argument.

If you want me to take your "lesson" seriously, I at least expect a well worded, well written essay. I assume you can write essays in other languages besides English. I applaud you for trying to do something that I consider much more difficult than passing the budget for next year, but at the same time that means the bar for you is higher. You have to be a professional.

When I ask for details, I mean details. I want more than what a Constitution is or means. I want parts of the Constitution. I want direct words from the Constitution. So if you're trying to make an argument about the Constitution, quote the actual Constitution. You have read the Constitution right?

If I were assigned an essay to write, to write about a book, I don't have the excuse to tell my Professor, it's all in the book. You don't have that excuse either.

Frankly I don't care if your lying, I don't care if you right. I'm not trying to break your argument, I'm simply saying your argument is unsatisfactory.

Some criticism.

Your title is catchy, but puts alot of expectation into the quality of the post, including the writing as well. You need more details, use more descriptions. Colorful words will brighten up your writing. You seperate yourself from your audience at times in the post. Try to refrain from addressing your audience, it doesn't do you good in this case.

You need to expand further about the problems in the Constitution, what exactly is in this Constitution thats so bad that everyone should know? Try quoting from the text, it'll give your argument some support.

Try to refrain from going off topic. What exactly does recreational activities have to do what you want to say? Demos, and kratos, you put some sort of expectation for a history lesson. I expected something about the culture of Greek at the time of democracy's birth. The way you left it hanging doesn't support your argument.

By using the term western democracy, I expected something different some government in the east with more than two major parties. Can you expand on this?


To conclude, show not tell, details and descriptions are a key point to that. Your need to support your argument. Refrain from going off tangent. Expand on points not addressed enough; not explained enough. Refrain from making assumptions on the general public. A common example of this would be many instead of most.

Do you remember Obama's first budget for next year? How the media raved about the lack of details in exactly how he was going to cut spending. Yes, just as we want details from Obama or Mitch McConnell proposed budget for next year. We want details from you. It's all a conspiracy otherwise.

Can we have some indicator of the amount of series a user follows?

TL:DR Version
"Limitations > Powers"

=======

It wasn't obvious for me, but that really blew my mind away.

When I tried writing something fictional, I would get into some tradegy and I would find myself depressed like the characters. That was what flowed for me. I then started wanting to get more and more happier, epic fantasy styled fiction, but I quickly grew bored of that. Well at first I would think and think and try to be the character I wanted him/her to become. That meant I would think about what powers he/she had currently, and in the future. Then I thought about the characters friends and so on. So I got bored.

Now, it's pretty obvious we like to read stories for these limitations.

Instead of citing Greek Tradegies or Shakespearean Plays, lets go with Harry Potter. As far as I feel, Harry Potter was amazing because here was an orphan with no parents, who gets picked on by big bullies. Well that was the underlying limitation. Each novel had their own limitation.

Well this can get more general. I've never played LOL but... I do have an idea of it. So the key to LOL is that your fellow players become that limitations. And the reason why it's fun is because you can struggle through it.

So the key to making interesting stuff focuses on limitations not the powers. Usually when you see an author or any artistic mind, remove the barriers, like in Naruto, Bleach, or Dragon Ball Z, the story kindof gets ridiculous and trite. Even if you draw new pictures for the abilities and give them new names, the fact is people love the fact when the characters can't do shit.

The key to success for mangas like One Piece is the fact that the author finds new problems for the characters to solve.

End of Rant.

I guess it's my turn .

Hello phoebe. Tis not alone.
Yea, welcome, welcome.

In response:

Same as above. Unless someones ninja's: Except my prompt was Eli vs Potato Masher.
Here's my interpretation.

I think what will be nice is a list to the side, like the popular list, of the last ten follows done by anyone on batoto?

Of course should only record public follows.


The Popular list helps you find the great manga that are viewed by many. My Follows helps you keep track of what you currently are reading, but this Last 10 Follows list will help you find potentially great manga.

Just read http://vatoto.com/comic/_/haruka-na-machi-e-r4051

Pretty good.

Hitman: Part Time Killer

Its a funny and interesting story about a hitman. Not like Sun-Ken Rock though. Sun-Ken Rock is amazing, but this one is just really original and funny to read. Both are great.

Just googled it.

// random number between 0 AND 10
import java.util.Random;

Random r = new Random();
int randint = r.nextInt(10);

Kind of forgot too, but once I looked at it, I remembered.
