- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

Oh fun fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_emperor_syndrome
My older brother was gonna be a "little emperor" but then my mom gave birth to me in violation of the One Child Policy... so now we have a beef... kinda feels like those Chinese TV Dramas about Emperors and their sons fighting to become the heir...
My mom constantly tell about some cousin that made millions on a business trip abroad and be like: "why aren't you like them"
Criticism against the system is dismissed, any issues you face is a character flaw, depression doesn't exist, "just be better"
Like I doubt my parents care about ethics... hypothetically I could be in the mafia and make billions selling illegal drugs and she'd be "proud" as long as I don't get caught. Or some extremely corrupt politician.
The takeaway I got from my parents is that: "Money = Good"
