Question to non-Chinese Shufa practitioners here

I have long had a question regarding Shufa (in particular, Chinese character caligraphy), but I could not get satisfactory answer from native Chinese practitioners. So here goes (for those who parctise Shufa but probably has less knowledge in Chinese language itself):

Can you feel the difference between a piece of well written calligraphy and a piece of work that is poorly written, if you actually could not recognise any of the character in the calligraphy piece? In other words, are you able to identify or discern purely from the formation of black strokes and white spaces without any associated literal meaning, that one of the pieces is "more beautiful" compare to the other?

If you are able to do so, may I know what are the observable metrics (for the lack of a better word) that makes such differentiation?

Weapon dropping rate?

I built a Merc that heavily relies on throwing weapon, and throwing weapon kills will replenish my six-shot pistol. In some game I find plenty of weapons laying on the ground during fights but in others hardly any.

I nevery really have paid attention on which and why an enemy drops weapon, but apparently a killed enemy not always drop a weapon. Is there a way to increase the weapon dropping rate? is it related to how he was killed or whether he was staggered?

Range hood anyone?

By shear chance I bumped into this Subreddit, the pleasant r/wok , and finding so many asian cooking (specifically stir fry) enthusiasts. Just wondering: in China, in almost every home kitchen, because of the extensive daily cooking with stir fry, a range hood is compulsory. Otherwise, after less than a week you will find you kitchen cabinets, floor and ceiling covered with a thin layer oil due to oil vapor deposits.

For those in this subreddit who are not in a Asian household/asian kitchen, do you notice this problem? are you handling it in an alternative way? (e.g. you only do stir fry in an open-air kitchen)

Hi guys, I am not looking for exactly what is your build. I am just wondering, for Samurai class, what is the typical traits that you try to focus on boosting in your equipment? I see these possibilities:

1: Spirit gain and Spirit attack damage

2: Parry window, Staggering damage

3: just pure attack damage and ultimate damage or shortening the class skill cool down timing.

I want to see if it is effective if you focus on boosting 1 of these 3 traits. My current build uses Legend lightening double sword and legend Sake Bottle, so I focus on Spirit gain and Spirit attach damage. What would be your build recommendation?
