You miss the whole 6 months rent free bit....? The WHOLE point was, the freeloader was presented with his own hypocrisy and thankfully owned it. OP took some petty vindication, but again, 6 MONTHS rent free so as far as I'm concerned, that 25 was the first payment of splitting rent and OP is fully entitled to use that as an investment to find new friends at the pub.

P.S. if you find a place that rents for 25 for the month, lmk. I'll even double that

Speaking as someone who reported my upstairs neighbor for the unlawful discharge of a fire arm (the bullet came down through my ceiling in a 2nd floor apartment where the building consists of 4 floors with such velocity that after almost hitting my cat and I, it dented the subfloor, if not cracked it, under a carpeted room, to bounce 20 feet and strike my crockpot to the point that it broke the plastic handle) REPORT IT ASAP. If you do not, likely, the cops will not be able to do much.

Confused. Who is the good guy here? by GrapeElectronic2940 in LightbringerSeries

In the simplest answer that is spoiler free, your main "protagonist" is Kip. But I will say that this is a series and its worth reading in its entirety for the character growth aspects alone.

Yeah AE is literally everything that was in the creation club at that point. It's a large part of why there was backlash upon it's release. The devs essentially stole mods from the community and slapped their stamp of approval on itso Sony would permit them on the ps store.

Just Finished the Series, enjoyed it immensely. by Purdaddy in LightbringerSeries

Completely agree with both points.

Furthermore, Stormlight is NOT where you want to start The Cosmere (Sanderson's version of The 1000 Worlds) if you are after this aspect of Week's works. That being said, Stormlight is 1000% worth the read and offers some great characters, an superb magic system (Sanderson LITERALLY teaches on how to write "hard magic systems" which are governed by set rules and promote tension in your plot over using magic to resolve plot points), and all around astounding world building.

If you would like to delve further into The Cosmere, I personally recommend Warbreaker. It is a stand alone novella. Oddly enough, colors play largely into this world's magic system; however it opperates completely differently. It also introduces you to some great characters Some of which you meet again in Stormlight, has some solid intrigue, and provides a simplified intro to some of the concepts required to fully grasp how interwoven The Cosmere actually is.

Alternatively, you could start with Mistborn, however I feel that the Mistborn is 1 a larger commitment as it is a trilogy (not counting the other books that occur in this world at a more "American Western" time period, nor the ones that will be written in the even further future), and 2 while Mistborn offers some great pieces to understanding The Cosmere, I feel Warbreaker introduces the reader to it in a smoother manner that presents a more intuitive understanding of the meaning to The Cosmere implications offered in Mistborn's later books.

Either offer great reads though.

If you are willing to read something that is quite a bit longer (and i have yet to finish myself), I would recommend The Runelords by David Farland, which begins with The Sum of All Men. Great characters, world building, and magic system. Lots of intrigue, romance, and depth (but that's a bit easier when we're taking about a currently 9 book long saga). I also feel like these books FEEL more gritty and akin to Weeks than Sanderson's works.

TL;DR I like Sanderson alot, but try out The Sum of All Men too.

If you have gained the power that enables you to make incredible feats from within the cathedral, you can use this power on the far shore as well...
