I call misrepresentation. Star Trek was not 'stupid because teleporters can't exist', because at the moment show was released, according to physics theories (at that time), teleportation, however unlikely, might be possible. It's enough for SF. What you are doing is more like saying 'Earth is flat', then comes a guy and says 'look, Earth is not flat, here's why [...]' and you go then 'duh, Earth is flat otherwise ppl at the bottom would fall off, have you heard about ppl falling off you smartass?' then someone explains more how physics works for you and as you can't find convincing arguments so you throw a tantrum, change topic and try to find fault in other person to shut them up. It is human to make a mistake, but if someone makes a mistake and not only can't admit to it, but also attack people that pointed it out (some did it in good faith like Nova guy), then that person must be someone really narcissistic, arrogant, conceited and ego-centric. As a writer I think you heard term 'constructive criticism'. Author of original review offered it to you, pointed where you were wrong, told how you can improve, even said that, beside things he pointed out, he liked the story. And you took that personally.

I don't think I miss the point. Opening statement of the review: 'I am giving the low world background because of the physics problems'. What is pointed as a problem is poor world background, not characters. When posting review 'character design' is just one out of five categories that reviewer evaluates (and 'world background' is also one of them). If properly created 'world background' is of no concern to you, then you should have no problems with ppl giving low rating for this category.

Again, m/s is the unit of velocity (how fast it moves right now), m/s^2 is unit of acceleration (how velocity change). You use units (SI) wrong, thats why others may not understand what you mean.

Yeah, I know right? xD I've read few years ago prob sth around 200-300 chapters, hoping it gets better, because you know, the score is so high, it must mean sth, maybe author developed some mad skillz and there would be mindblowing plot or sth. But what I read was something that has logic of kiddie show (3-7 y.o.). I get it, most main characters are teens or sth, they may not follow logic. But they were in this academy thingie, if I remember right, and even faculty was of similar, or even worse, mental capacity. It was almost on the level of covering your face with your hands beliving that if you are not seeing the person in front of you means they dont see you either.

Damm, so how ppl on earth can survive planet orbiting Sun with speed of about ~30 kilometers per second... In your definition we are surviving constant 3000g and we are good. What is poor 20g compared to 3000g am I right? 20g is like 0,6(6)% of what we constantly experience, you know that right? Even astronauts in space station are moving at 28000 km per hour, which is 7777,(7) meters per second xD Ok, as it looks like you use units that you've never even properly read about - the g force you are talking about is not velocity (meters per secons - m/s), it's acceleration (meters per [second times second] - m/[s*s] =m/s^2). Ergo - it doesnt matter wheter you are going 100 m/s, 200 m/s or 20 km/s, as long as speed doesn't change there is no g force that is applied to you. Original author of the review just wanted you to change small thing to be more accurate and for your story to be more enjoyable and you lash out for a little bit of constructive critique (it wasn't personal or sth compared to your response). I'll be nice and give you other way of solving problem (not counting 'pretending that there is no problem' solution or the one presented by Nova guy). Just use some made up units. Noone will bother you then. You know, if you go to restaurant and order medium rare steak they have on the menu, but you get a cold block of tofu instead you would probably be pissed and demand they change it or return your $$, but then chef comes and says 'hey, I don't give a duck what steak means to you, for me what I served you is a steak, deal with it... What a food nerd'. Well sorry about my language, I'm not native english speaker, but using passive agressive construction is really fun, from time to time.

If you have time then check chapters around 247 (or just event 'first player auction'). Some item prices are downright not thought out, saying it nicely. Draco auction things below crafting cost (in lore 4 mid aether crysts >= 40 low crysts, and the items gets sold in range of 27 to 44 low crysts). The most evil overlord Draco is not even giving it for free, he straight out pays people (in crysts he desperatly desire) so they take his semi-legendary weapons.

Well, with 'base' price for low cryst being 1k platinum coins and mid cryst being 10k, and Draco using 4 mid cryst to craft enchantment, it looks that most of the semi-legendary thingies he sells, he sells at relative loss. I'm saying relative, cause it's said in story, that crysts rarely go for the base price and rarity matters, so over all we could say, that price disparity is probably even bigger than 1:10 with cryst conversion. Draco made this auction to get more aether crysts, and with bids for items being like 31+ low grade crystals, he should operate at loss. Here he uses 4 mid crysts (market value over 40 low grade crysts) and his crafting technique to get less than 3.1 mid cryst value. The most badass evil overlord Draco and his most 'evilish' wife Eva are basicly putting semi-legendary items for free in NPC hands, with bonus sacks of low crysts. Oh the evil charity.
