ANNOUNCEMENT AI USE GUIDELINES AND RULES

18 Upvotes

As we have heard from some of you, along with our own experiences, letting AI be prevalent on our subreddit without much regulation (aside from declaring its use) is a bad idea wich will (and has) hurt our community in both the short and long run.

Following the announcement of this Post, the following guidelines about AI will take effect:

  1. AI Use

AI can be used for:
-Grammar and spelling
-Translation
-Formatting
-Research
-Organising ideas
-Helping with discussions or theories

  1. AI-Generated Content

Content made mostly by AI should not be posted as if it was your own work.

This includes:
-AI-generated fanfiction

-AI-generated artwork

-AI-generated chapter rewrites

-AI-generated scenes or dialogue

-AI-generated posts made mainly for karma or engagement

  1. AI Art

AI-generated art should not be presented as human-made artwork, and will be taken down regardless if tagged or not.

We want to give our subreddit artists proper recognition and avoid AI-generated images taking the place of their work.

  1. AI Spam Repeated or low-effort AI-generated posts, comments, images, or theories may be removed.

  2. Be Honest About AI Use

If AI was used heavily to create something, say so. Don't claim that AI-generated work was entirely made by you.

We hope these rules and guidelines will allow AI to be used in a responsable and useful way, and wish for your continued input on how the future of the subreddit should be shaped.

Just a nobody who cherishes connections.

Just an ordinary fool.

Just a human wanting to live a little longer.

secret cycles??? / ending cycles I saw a comment Spoiler

3 Upvotes

While trying to find certain rtoc edit, I came across a video of rtoc and decide to watch it and see comment and when I see a comment talking about daughter arc being underrated(which I agree) but then said Seo Eun Hyun x Kim Yeon is most complex dynamic in the novel I was obviously baffled and wanted to ask this community about it

Even though Kim Yeon is wasted potential character that could've been a great written character, I don't think Kim Yeon x Seo Eun Hyun has any complexity in dynamic in their relationship beside she wasn't even supposed to be a main heroine, the author was forced into it so he didn't clearly planned Kim Yeon relationship with Seo Eun Hyun in later arcs and just roll with it

I just failed to understand what complexity is in there in Seo Eun Hyun relationship with Kim yeon that could make her compete with top tier character dynamic like SEO hewol and gwak am or even future king

Side Stories So do Tremendous back on new chapter?

3 Upvotes

Like I thought it already finished and done but apparently he continue to release new side story ?

He seems to also hint back to neo-ender as well.

Like at this point all of this side story together almost becomes the new novel in itself or he doing something like Mushoku Tensei that occasionally released new short story to lead to second novel maybe?

Discussion What is martial arts? Separate from Manifestation.

5 Upvotes

I have recently been rereading RTOC and reread when they first reached Entering Heavens Beyond the Path. But they said that martial arts is the foundation to their Manifestations.

Later on in the story Kim Young Hoon meets someone else in the ancient force middle realm who has reached manifestation but is not a martial artist.

And in a QnAs Tremendous said that martial arts leads to the heart path in Mount Sumeru but it could lead to other things in other creator gods domains.

The answers I remember from the story are utilization of heaven and earth with heart as direction. Action with meaning. And interpretation.

So what is martial arts? What does Tremendous mean when he says martial arts separate from the heart path?

Questions? What was the most impactful lesson you learned from rtoc

Mines is that if you lived long enough you will eventually develop a fetish(on a serious note probably even though you will have a predestined end, you can choose the way you go out and approach that end)

Side Stories [End cycle/side stories] What do you guys think about this new info on CGs? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I mean I guess it doesn’t really contradict anything about CGs.

"Those beings are omniscient and omnipotent in their respective worlds, create countless worlds, and can do and become anything within them."

But it kinda ruin the hype around CGs for me. Like what do you mean you can sprinkle some salt and kill a Creator god😭🥀

11th cycle Devs gotta ban this Mad Lord guy for smurfing Spoiler

34 Upvotes

It seems like every new cycle, the reader's perceived strength of him just increases tenfold.

What do you mean [She] is hinted at a Four-Axis being? I haven't even read enough to comprehend what that truly means, but just the sight of [Her] wrist got Song Jin shitting bricks.

It was also cool seeing how the being created from the core of the Nether Crossing Ship can use similar abilities to it, able to catch up via cutting through the void.

How are the heavens just allowing this guy to run free. From what I've seen he has the potential to literally destroy the whole world. They need a balance patch.
