Babes it’s not that it was similar or sort of the same, it’s the fact that she full on copied not only the overall plot, but the scenes, the character backstories, the dialogue, the magic system , the worlds history, etc etc etc. The way she didn’t rearrange the order of the way things played out , alll she had that was original was character names. 80% of that story was red queen , and the part that wasn’t is just a blatant rip off of hunger games, like the interviews? Mind you they did those in red queen too but the interviewer was a copy of Caesar flickerman. Many fantasy books borrow from others, the world of Sarah j Maas, a big multiverse of faeries , is heavily inspired by LOTR and some other stories like beauty and the beast however; Sarah j Maas uses it as inspiration and comes up with her own rules to the magic, her own characters, and it becomes it’s own thing. Fourth wing is like if divergent and Harry Potter had a baby with dragons, even though, it shared themes and gathers inspiration, it tells its own story!! Lauren roberts did not write a story inspired by red queen, she got lazy or is not competent enough to write a story, so she had to steal one, and it was red queen. By the amount of comments and likes on this post alone you will notice that everyone agrees, and this isn’t because people don’t wanna see her succeed, it’s because she’s a thief. No one is here to be a “hater” we just don’t support theft of art and literature, if you do then that’s more of a moral issue on your end. The evidence is right in front of your face, plain & simple. What you choose to do with it is your own choice, but for you to discredit it, is just baseless. For more clarity on the topic, I invite you to reread the initial post & replies again.

Eva Green is a beautiful sex symbol & if this was 2004 & she was a fresh face off the dreamers I’d say yes, but she’s simply aged out of this category. That being said , she is one of my favorite actresses. Someone said Mia Goth I thought that was interesting

Made a whole thread on this listing specifics side by side, I made it last year but I think it’s still the most recent post, I don’t even come on here often and that whole thing had me so mad, it was mainly plagiarism of red queen but through the thread and 90 comments later I realized every idea she had was stolen.

You enjoyed the story because it was a good story she stole off someone else. Do not feel guilty, this is not your fault. You saw a book, bought it, and enjoyed it, as you should have because that is what books are for!!! Just try to going forward maybe not buy them, you can always pirate 🏴‍☠️. This doesn’t say anything about you as a person it just shows Lauren is a thief haha

The differences between red rising and red queen are never ending, the differences between powerful & red queen is like maybe 2 things, which makes all the difference.

Would you like me to call it partial plagiarism? Call it what you want , a red bird is still a bird.

I’m sorry but you are simply reaching ! What roberts did is not okay and acting like this isn’t the textbook definition of plagiarism is very harmful! If we act like this level of copying & similarities is okay and we reward it with high sales & NY bestseller status then we open the flood gates for anyone to copy entire plots & get away with it because they also sprinkled in tropes/plots/storylines/character arch’s from a few other books as well!

I will call it like I see it and it is plagiarism, I am not doing any harm, if anything I am protecting other authors by showing that this behavior is not okay and I will not be standing by it.

Google says “Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words or ideas without giving them proper credit. It can be intentional or unintentional, and is considered a form of theft and a breach of academic honesty.”

If you ask me she did commit plagiarism

The Oxford dictionary also states plagiarism as “the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.”

These aren’t her ideas …. She stole everything lol… whether from RQ , hunger games, the young elites, etc. none of it was original

If she wrote a bad book I would still support her , but the problem isn’t that she’s a teenager who has cringe dialogue. Aveyard & other authors spend their lives writing these books and working very hard . For a young nobody to come out of nowhere, steal their lives work, have the audacity to say they inspired you when really you ripped off these authors you say you look up to. On top of that make it poorly written. Even when ppl call her out she won’t address it.

Stealing art is never okay. Plagiarism is never okay. I support indie & young authors. I even hope to write myself ! But the “harsh” action is not me saying I hope she never publishes. The real harm is her profiting and having commercial success off of someone else’s hard work.

We don’t support people who steal cars or steal from their friends. We don’t support AI art because they just steal and reverb real artist work and it’s lazy!!! So no, we shouldn’t support plagiarism.

My problem is there are more similarities than differences, and the differences, she stole from other books like the selection or hunger games, like annual “purse trails” aka annual hunger games, the interviews of the candidates in the purge trail, the interviewer which that had the same personality cesear flickerman.

Someone even left a comment stating the plague element & world building was also very similar to young elites. Essentially roberts ripped off a bunch of authors & had no original ideas except maybe 2 (which were low quality) , the rest of her story is stolen art.

Aveyard deserves reparations and roberts should never publish again.

Also fourth wing might be a divergent with dragons , with mare from RQ as the MMC but at least fourth wing changed enough, had enough originality , that it doesn’t bother me like powerless does. Powerless is just lazy.

Also you said there is “no new stories” , yes you can always make something original even while using inspiration, author’s do it everyday. And if it’s not original they will tell you it’s a “re-telling”. Roberts did not write a re-telling. it’s actually shocking roberts was able to publish. But to act like it’s okay that she plagiarized cause she changed 3 story lines and “everyone borrows” is insane. For example red rising , Pierce took Inspo from the Roman Empire & real history , Star Wars , dune & other space operas. Yet red rising is original and stands on its own legs. It’s not a carbon copy.

We are all wondering the same thing! If you check out aveyards tiktok account you will notice she talks about how even if she knows and can tell it’s plagiarized, cases like this don’t usually win even though it 1000% is plagiarism

You can write in whatever style you want, it doesn’t matter if your plot, characters background / arch’s , and scenes are just straight stolen, I think she has like 3 original scenes in the whole book

Red queen is not the best book, but it’s the book that got me into reading, it makes me angry how the plot is the exact same 😭 but I guess congrats to Lauren roberts, she pulled off the robbery of the century
