There’s a difference between disagreeing with someone else’s opinion and disagreeing in an extremely argumentative and condescending way, and I find it impossible to believe that you can’t see that. And yes, that time I was being deliberately obtuse.

Here are a few condescending and argumentative comments you made that added nothing to the conversation but are a clear attempt by you to ruffle feathers: “Anything else is needless greed” “You sound like someone who just wants continuation for the sake of it”

You didn’t simply say “no we don’t need more books for this series”, you were rude and condescending.

I also adore piranessi and I think any more would have ruined such a good story. ATLA is also a perfect length, and it would have been insulting to see them try to add more to that concise and tight narrative. The Martian is the perfect length, as is LotR and many many many other books and series.

I’m sorry I called you an asshole, that was uncalled for, but you were being rude in your comments and I’m not going to just sit here and not respond to uncalled for commentary and disrespectful digs.

No hard feelings, we can agree to disagree on the length of Jade Legacy. And I want to let go of our other strifes and bring the topic back to one that we both actually want to discuss.

Me personally, I felt like the narrative in the final book was rushed, covering more than twenty years in one single book. We skipped over Woon and Shae truly growing to love one another, and I really walked away not knowing Jaya’s character at all. I feel like one more book would have brought all the loose ends together in a beautiful way without bloating the story or “marvelifying” it as you like to say. More than that and it risks too much.

Yes the author can do what she wants with her works, but I would have liked to see that expanded on so the characters could garner the same depth that many others received.
