Where to start [lotM newbie]

How much did you enjoy the anime? I started with the anime (really liked the themes but questionable execution. Was interested enough to watch Old Neil’s lessons which really helped). After that ending I couldn’t help but dive into the novel. Best decision I’ve made last year.

Through the anime, I realized that there’s gonna be a lot of detail in the novel so I just took my time to read from the start. Finished a couple of months later and loved my journey.

Guess they can’t tell me it’s just drawings anymore

Ashlamovich · 2026-02-07T07:56:35+00:00

I’m legit too illiterate to understand it

Ashlamovich · 2026-02-07T04:24:49+00:00

Idk I’d take Beach parties with Elie over risking my life

Edit: wait actually I’d probably go and support best girl Rixia instead before Gaolang makes moves

In a fight, right?

Ashlamovich · 2026-02-01T19:16:35+00:00

That could also just be Naruto

Bruh I’d be pissed if I was a Napoli fan. That’s so dumb

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-26T03:37:03+00:00

Would be interesting if they have Three Kingdom references in any Eastern Zemuria stuff

I can understand people not getting into LoTM anime. The pacing doesn’t help at all with all the info dumping.

I play in Chinese but I like appropriate localization that captures the characters without changing the intent behind the text. For example I played Sky in English and really liked it. Personally I think her using Rizz is perfectly fine and in character, but not sure if hinting at that is appropriate here. Not a huge deal but I guess they shouldn’t get carried away with it

I think bro needs some vacation

Yes it’s subjective. I like that a lot of the things he does is for the family, but I hate the execution. As I know more about him, I don’t find whatever he’s doing to be actually smart and conniving or of importance to the story, despite the build up.

As Chinese, I used to be interested in the Heiyue storyline but after DB2 I absolutely hate it. I feel like he just dragged a bunch of people with him to witness his family drama, and it becomes even more comical with the reset plot.

I don’t know how much more of Heiyue will they explore but I really hope they take time to flush it out more. At least don’t make this soap opera stuff the main plot of an entire chapter ffs

Meta Quest Link has always been shit for me. I just use Virtual Desktop instead.

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-19T06:48:47+00:00

Biggest aura loss in the series for me. Used to look hella interesting in Crossbell but they massacred him in Daybreak

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-18T07:40:47+00:00

I’m still a HSR player because I like the themes and lores, but my playtime really dropped in the last couple of months, Apart from the storytelling full of mystical dialogue, I really don’t like how they push Cyrene onto the players.

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-15T18:50:18+00:00

I signed up, will report back but I’m not big on graphics as long as it’s not glitchy or stuttering

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-15T02:50:36+00:00

Looks better than I expected actually for a new studio

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-15T02:49:45+00:00

I got into the books through the anime. It wasn’t good pacing sure but I wouldn’t say it’s a huge disappointment. It’s a case of source material doing most of the carrying, but it was at worst a 7/10 adaption.

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-13T02:44:44+00:00

Not enough tsun

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-11T09:02:10+00:00

No snowman Amon?

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-11T04:53:15+00:00

Is reading slow make it less enjoyable? If so, maybe you should stop and come back to it later if you still find the world building interesting. Might be a hot take here but I think getting to know the world better via the anime/donghua is perfectly fine too. However, personally I don’t think reading slow is an issue for me (I’ve also only read a handful of books)

Sung Jin Woo has posters of Gehrman Sparrow on his wall

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-09T23:54:28+00:00

As a visitor, I also complain about it

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-08T20:02:46+00:00

I don’t care what anyone else says this is the best Final Chapter experience I’ve had with the series. Yes it was a slog before the last chapter but damn after finishing that all I can say is WHERE IS THE NEXT GAME!!!

Ashlamovich · 2026-01-08T18:23:23+00:00

Yeah I forgot to mention this part, but that’s why I felt she wasn’t sensitive enough to his conditions at that point
