I'm thinking about making a manga about some people who get stranded on an island and form a tribe.

I had an idea about a manga set in Persia or Arabia. It's about mages who battle demons from the underworld.

I bet I'm the only one who would've read all of that (until now so people can 'prove me wrong')

Possibly true, until you added the parentheses
Now they will avoid reading it, in order to prove you wrong about them proving you wrong

but now theyre going to try and prove you wrong about proving him wrong about proving him wrong


and then nobody replied to poor old 777w


(until they try proving me wrong)

Nice sentence.
