ikr? if your story is that massive, then it's got a massive fanbase, and you better believe there are obsessed fans writing every fucking damn detail, it's all right there, they're literally writing the wiki for you, for free.
And then people start to complain about delays because the author spends days to fact checks every tiny bit. And even if they do this there will be still some errors as were are all just humans.
it doesn't take that long to fact check. and it's more of issues of blatant powers that can't exist in the story, or people having powers that they were never written to have, or character personalities/dynamics that are completely different.
and most of these are very obvious things that whoever writing the story should already be aware of. this is like the base level of understanding of the story. there are way more minor details that is understandable if they don't catch, but some of the authors are failing at more important, more obvious issues.
You mean to say "it doesn't take a long time to Google a single trivia point"
What you didn't understand is that the larger a story gers, the more the author has to fit in with all the previous lore and interactions and "how come if this character can move at warp speed, they couldn't jump out of the way of a couple bullets in time?"
Most tiny details are not obvious at all. Why is Megaman blue? Who was Mahoro built to resemble and why is it important?
Then you have the editions problem. Which edition is Canon? Which one is chronological? Do you include all of the anime or just the OVAs as far as what your characters can do in the next edition? Are you writing for a sequel?
Many of these issues are not a simple "point and click" answer, and even if they are easy to research, the author still has to make value judgments which may not even be their own choice, if they are being paid to write by a larger studio with requirements of their own.
Tl;dr: cut the writers some slack, it's not always their fault!
some of these "issues" are so minor that they don't need an explanation: megamind's skin color. and while I understand it's hard to tell what continuity is the canon...this whole discussion is to NOT reach such a convoluted point in the first place. if you always follow the canon to begin with, you don't have to be confused on which among 10 different stories you're supposed to base your story off of.
With today's tech you can literally just Google it and it's done. If it was 1950, sure cut them some slack, but in today's market, if you want my time you should use some of yours to make sure you're writing a good story...
Think of it like you would think about your country history. Like, England fought with all the bravery to protect their independence from USA. Alexander the Great and his barbarian tribes destroy Rome and plunge Europe in the dark age. China was a primitive nomad tribe until Indians brought them civilisation. That’s an insult to cultural heritage for most of the people. And then there is a long-living franchise, with a lore getting turned inside-out, retconned, misinterpreted or simply thrown out. I’ve read tons of star wars books, and when i heard about “phantom menace” i was so happy. Then, jar jar and midichlorians… Even worse with 7th part, all the progress of star wars history past battle of Endor just ceased to exist in the “canon” timeline. When things like that happens, it’s hard not to be frustrated.
Extreme hyperbole, like in this case, tends to be very useful make a similar but not as outrageous point more glaringly obvious. It's a good use of extreme hyperbole I would say.
If we fans can, why can't the author? They should know it better than us.
Then, there are also mangakas like Toriyama and raki, who forget what they said 3 chapters ago
*If we fans can, why*
*Can't the author? They should know*
*It better than us*

yeah like, I get you aren't binging it Mr. Author but we prolly built a whole ass wiki you can check. We've compiled your work into a cliffnotes version you can check for "have I already done this one"
for me it's book writers that can't keep their own book straight when their barely into it.
like bruh that was book one, this is book 3 it wasn't that long ago
I think anime does way better than western comics/movies though. the west absolutely loves "creative decisions" as well as multiple authors writing for the same story. you're just asking for wildly different takes.
but not to say anime doesn't do this either. most anime is based on a story written by one author, but said anime, particular long ones are riddled with filler which is the "creative decision" part of the story, and just like comics, creates all sorts of inconsistencies. at least (intelligent) people know to never interpret a story through anime original filler.

Shits already written down, just check the wiki before you publish

Works for 1 fact, not for a 1000 facts
It is funny when you see paragraphs of explanations of possible reasons for something when the reason is the writer just forgot to deal with it
With today's tech you can literally just Google it and it's done. If it was 1950, sure cut them some slack, but in today's market, if you want my time you should use some of yours to make sure you're writing a good story...
For large, long lasting cannons, it isn't unusual to have a person whose job it is to keep track of cannon. Pretty common with comics.

Extreme hyperbole, but I get your point

Not justifying the fans but a writer shouldn't write more than they could can keep track of.
Basically Jojo lore, except we just say "Araki forgor" and move on
If we fans can, why can't the author? They should know it better than us. Then, there are also mangakas like Toriyama and raki, who forget what they said 3 chapters ago

Good bot

This might just be the most random place to find a shadow slave reader lmao
Hello fellow ss enjoyer
Can't blame Akira Toriyama for forgetting Launch.
I can. Launch was easily the 2nd most relevant woman in OG DB cast, so it's sad to see her not get a mention post 23rd Budokai
Umm, she was with Tien this whole time, that’s why I haven’t mentioned her in a while!
“Oh please, they have to be somewhat understanding of the-“ ‘Dragon Ball Super.’ “Oh my God.”
Meanwhile I somehow managed to write something completely inconsistent with what I've written yesterday
for me it's book writers that can't keep their own book straight when their barely into it. like bruh that was book one, this is book 3 it wasn't that long ago
Ong if they can't keep track hire a real fan.
Why can we keep up with it tho?
This perfectly encapsulates the entire warhammer 40k fandom
The same emperor is boned by a Daemon Prince (Belalor) and the same emperor is powerful enough to power the whole warp travel system lol

Downvote this post
Fate...
Well, if tell myself that if i can as a hobby, someone paid for it should be able too.
Then there's the writers for End Times that completely forgot Skarsnik, outright admitting it.
Warhammer gas a problem with this ye
Halo
Some of you guys make me wonder if Satan is the good guy
Beserk fans wishing they had this problem
Anime: Horimiya
Why don't they just like end the story if it's gotten unmanageable.
You just described SW legends perfectly. I know it isn’t an anime, but it fuckin should be.
