No, but you aren't allowed to stop posting them either.
I do now, just came across this community. You might want to advertise it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you haven't already
I saw the first post a few weeks ago and I'm currently reading the story (up to chapter 82 so far) -- thanks for linking it -- but I'm not following along with the update threads since I want to just read through it myself first at my own pace.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Rational Fiction

A community for discussing works of fiction where the characters think and act rationally (i.e. for good reasons) according to their understanding of their situation, rather than their actions feeling forced by the author to forward the plot. Inspired by r/rational and r/hpmor.
Rules:
- Be polite and respectful to everyone, including people who disagree with you. Attacking an idea is fair game though.
- No spoilers in titles! Use the spoiler tags in posts and comments to discuss sensitive topics.
- Have fun!
Places to start:
- Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. Wrapped up in 2015 at 122 chapters, ~660k words.
- Note: The main character is insufferable for the first few chapters, but he learns. If you get to Ch. 10 and you're not yet into it, it's okay to skip.
- Pokemon: The Origin of Species by DaystarEld. Ongoing, 121 chapters as of October 2023.
