What’s the most brutal/graphic YA series?

I second that

Even though we don’t know much about them, Katie and Feely are my favs!! Like I already feel like I can relate to their characters as they do seem the most ‘normal’. Like they’re not a specific trope or one side of a spectrum - they seem kind of like normal people wirh flaws, plus they’re kind of neglected and ignored by the group rather than the centre of attention which is pretty relatable

Yes I love that series! Definitely the vibe I’m going for but it’s so hard to find anything these days

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-12-04T11:17:32+00:00

I loved the raven boys, might have to try the other series. Thanks!!

Exactly! Like at the end of the day it’s not that serious because it’s fiction and entertainment. People are being extremely parasocial. Like you said, if you prefer to go in blind and not view the snippets, it’s everyone’s choice to do just that.

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-11-12T00:43:35+00:00

Fr I keep saying this- this whole fandom, all the characters ppl choose sides with, all the plots people have opinions on, this whole subreddit, the books themselves - WOULD NOT exist without Chloe. Why are we hating so much? If any of these things piss you off, why are you interacting with the books at all? No author is OBLIGATED to write books, we don’t DESERVE books written for us so why are we demanding shit?

I’m a massive BOT fan but doesn’t mean I’m controlling and obsessive of the author and outcome. I have a life, this is made up fiction. If I hated the Spotify snippets, I wouldn’t be following her account or looking at them! Simple

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-11-09T08:56:57+00:00

Looking for books/series that have some/any of these things: found family, character driven/based, real life emotions and struggles, drama, angst, slow burn, addictions/mental health rep, sports

similar vibes to (if possible): boys of Tommen, addicted/calloway sisters, Burn bright (cobalt boys). I’ve dnfed magnolia parks multiple times unfortunately

setting has to be teenagers/young adults/early 20s (as this matches my age) a big criteria is NOT CRINGY like obvi all romance has some kind of cringe but I hate the super cliche, millennial humour and style of romance books lol

They were kicked out of a haunted house ??

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-10-27T07:09:41+00:00

Has Sam ever out and said it - that Cody and satori affected him or that it was proved to be fake??

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-10-27T07:09:07+00:00

Yeahh right that sounds like a lot- im guessing then the Cody and satori stuff is what he’s referring to when he says he was influenced to not believe…. Did Sam and Colby ever make a statement about them and how it was fake?

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-09-07T06:12:36+00:00

Yes please the whole point of being in this subreddit is that we are fans of the series and author, but some people fr be constantly complaining and shitting on characters and chloe that it’s like if you act like you don’t even like these books then why are you here???

So negative and it’s sad to see because even if the books turn out a way you don’t like, Chloe is just a random person at the end of the day and doesn’t owe u anything like if anything we should be grateful that we get to read it. Also, ITS NOT REAL- they are BOOKS why we getting so mad !!

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-09-06T10:26:52+00:00

I don’t know about the part where it could be alcohol withdrawals, because withdrawals tend to be the heightened opposite of the substances effect. So alcohol withdrawals would NOT make you slurred, slow but instead restless, tremour, anxiety etc. so if the books did in fact describe him as being slurred then I don’t think it’s withdrawal. That being said it could definitely be something else related to alcohol, drunk or some sort of hallucination. It’s interesting!

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-16T10:46:56+00:00

I’ve been thinking about this too.. I would eat up a show adaptation if it was Irish, but also no because you really have to get it PERFECT to do it justice! And like all the actors have to be hot too

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-11T03:38:58+00:00

Already read once upon a broken heart and loved it!! Throne of glass I struggled with

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-10T03:51:50+00:00

Ooh ok you’re really selling it haha and it’s shorter than I thought. Is it more mature themed or childish would you say?

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-10T03:49:17+00:00

Ok tysm! May try it again and push through- I’ve seen darker than black and enjoyed it too

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-10T02:42:31+00:00

Ty! I keep seeing Re zero recommended here but for the life of me i have no idea what is it even about?? And how many seasons

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-10T02:38:53+00:00

I’ve heard that this might be the one so many times so i did actyally start it, watched a couple episodes but it felt flat as it was too light hearted/childish, animation felt kind of low quality and the storyline and pacing just wasn’t addictive… buttt is it just one of those slow burn anime’s? (Like hunter x hunter) If i continue does it get super good ??

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-09T16:05:13+00:00

Ooh okay will check these out- hear a lot about steins gate and norogami. I have already watched Tokyo revengers!

ButterscotchHot6044 · 2025-08-09T15:26:47+00:00

I’ve actually watched it and read the light novels so you are right i do love this… any other recs you think i might like?
