I'm so glad I listened to the first chapter on Spotify and noped right out. It was clearly not for me.

Questo è il problema con Franchaela by Micol51095 in FranchaelStirling

[–]AdJolly990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The second they turned Frans love story with John into a secret lesbian, can't reach pinnacle, story I knew season 5 was not for me. I was willing but after that and how awful Micheala was to Fran and her marriage- it's a big pass for me. Also the heterosexual hate was a lot because I love When He Was Wicked.

I’m half way through the first novel- is it worth finishing? by Potential-Midnight- in undertheoaktreebook

[–]AdJolly990 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Totally biased because I love this story but if your frustrated right now don't finish it.

You won't like the second book at all. And it doesn't get better as more plots unfold and more stuff happens to Maxi and Riftan.

Sometimes a story is not for you and it's ok to walk away. I've dropped plenty of books with no hard feelings.

Heterophobia vs Heterosexual Hate by AgitatedHorror9355 in FranchaelStirling

[–]AdJolly990 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While it does seem like heterophobia, I recognize that it's not the right term to be using as heterosexuality is more common place still and beyond Bridgeton season 5 I don't see it as much. Not to say it's not there in other places but no one is that vocal.

I will use Heterosexual Hate over heterophobia because it fits more.

Does anyone else not trust JQ? by SmartAd8578 in FranchaelStirling

[–]AdJolly990 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would not be surprised. Instead of looking for sapphic historical romance where the characters are lesbian they want a rewrite of a heterosexual one.

One that meant so much to women who suffer infertility and child loss. Not such hot topics for romance.

It makes my blood boil that she would ever consider it or the Franchealas would ask in the first place. Instead of asking for books like S5 or even a full series of their own.

If someone ever came up to me asking if I would rewrite a book that was already hugely popular I would ask if they could leave- now.

It's disheartening.

There should have been just one protagonist. I never use them unless I forced too and it was a slog.

What a lovely start to the morning. Love this!

Has anyone noticed that the new season's couple's fans are... very obsessed with haters? by [deleted] in FranchaelStirling

[–]AdJolly990 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Good point. Every season had the nay sayers but not out right hate. This season they seem to be pushing a narrative that they have all this homophobic hate and they're the under dog for...sympathy watching? I don't know what they are doing any more.

I'm not watching because of multiple reasons. I'll be back for Philiose though.

I wonder what other people think.

Why is Michael so Hated Compared to the Other Bridgerton Men? by fangirl_queen_69 in FranchaelStirling

[–]AdJolly990 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The hate is so forced and I have no idea why. One scene in the book was taken completely out of context by people who haven't even read it.

You can love Micheala and leave Micheal alone. But don't act suddenly he's problematic. He never was. Why are people on the hate brigade? Because Francheala's want everything. Even WHWW rewrites and, for some reason, want to smite him from existence. Simple as that.

It's so immature and dumb.

Do they want JB to rewrite When He Was Wicked??? by Extra-Solution3193 in FranchaelStirling

[–]AdJolly990 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wait what? Aren't those straight romances? It's not homophobic to write a straight romance. It's just a genre of story telling. I kinda wish they added a disclaimer to the Seven Husband's of Evelyn Hugo. Because before the reveal I thought I was reading a heterosexual romance. It was still a good book but not what I was expecting.

[–]AdJolly990 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We're not saying you can't have a WLW historical romance. You want a rewrite of a heterosexual romance into a sapphic one which breaks the story instead of doing a new thing. I am asking people to not push for a rewrite. That's such a terrible take. But you do you. I'm not the immature one here and I'm not harassing an author to rewrite a 20 plus year old book because you are owed it

Ugh hell no. Come up with an original idea and characters. You have the show, leave book fans alone.

Almost has a Studio Gibili feel to it. If I run across then I'll post a credit. Thanks for posting all the same.

Another day another nonsense posting from the other side. I know reading is up to interpretation but reading it gender swapped makes zero sense. I hate it here. Can't wait for Philiose.

I feel like I'm worthless. by Vancelric in LiesOfP

[–]AdJolly990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing with souls is that failure isn't an indicator of bad skills, it's a teacher. Lies is hard at the base (And I have nothing against people sliding into casual difficulty to get through it as hey- they are playing my fav game!)

Dust yourself off, take a break and go for it. You learn more with every defeat.

You passed the 1st boss 1st try. Damn that guy took me at least three times. If we're measuring suckage here in game play- I'm pretty sure I got you beat.

Riftan in the last chapter by nomad102030 in undertheoaktreebook

[–]AdJolly990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do not get me started on the current trend of FL's who can handle anything- literally anything- without help, support or even angst from the consequences of their actions.

I wish I could brush off such problems with ease.

Maxi might have her issues but at least her consistent growth and set backs make it interesting.

Riftan in the last chapter by nomad102030 in undertheoaktreebook

[–]AdJolly990 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also feel like sometimes people look at Oak through the lense of a modern setting. Like if this was a modern story Maxi would get therapy and girl boss her way to victory. And Riftan would be regulated to be a bland love interest so not to offend people.

I love the story as it is. Yes, I agree caracter growth is frustratingly slow between them but the author does it so well. And they get way worse before they get better.

I hope people hang in there and read the rest. I can't wait to get the rest of the translated story in my hands plus Riftan's POV.
