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:

  1. Be polite and respectful to everyone, including people who disagree with you. Attacking an idea is fair game though.
  2. No spoilers in titles! Use the spoiler tags in posts and comments to discuss sensitive topics.
  3. Have fun!

Schlock Mercenary is one of the classics, and if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend checking it out!

I wouldn't necessarily describe all the characters as rational XD ...but the science-y ones typically are. Also it explores a lot of neat ideas that I still find myself thinking about regularly. If you like sci fi, I think you'll enjoy this one.

Hi! I don't know if you all do webcomics here, but based on the other works of fiction that have been posted here this seems like a good vibe fit.

I've read a few comics by this author and I feel like the characters (usually) act pretty intelligently. Please let me know what you think!
