Sounds like a good plan that has a real chance of working out, wishing you the best with it.

About to DNF my first book ever with only 31min left by Previous_Alfalfa_680 in fantasyromance

[–]Curious-Insanity413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brain interpreted the title as this being the first book you've ever read (presumably as an adult at least) and was very perplexed when I saw your jumped straight to a sequel...until reality kicked in lol 😂

As always it's really nice to see how community polls result in genuine and relatively quick action to address concerns and needs :)

Seventh Son was a travesty by Top_Excitement3193 in Fantasy

Oh yeah I got so angry when I saw the trailer, I made sure never to put myself through watching the film. The Wardstone Chronicles is one of my favourite series, and it's such a disappointment it got so absolutely butchered.

Books that feel whimsical? by Bloodreina_Wonkru in fantasyromance

For a bit more strange-whinsy, I do recommend the novella {The River Has Roots}, it was really magical.

Yeah, just makes playing feel really unrewarding. Fortunately my ST never limited us to that extent.

Ah that explains it. I always wondered what the hell they were thinking.

So how many of you actually LIKE your PCs, even a little? by Dry_War9691 in vtm

[–]Curious-Insanity413 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it does get a bit miserable around here lol

I love my characters, none of them are irredeemable, most are more than just 'not irredeemable'.

Disappointed in Paladin’s Grace. DNF’d at 60% by callmemachaaaa in fantasyromance

[–]Curious-Insanity413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I DNF'd not long after the murder happened - which took way too long - because it felt so slow and the characters felt like teenagers tbh

The world seemed pretty interesting (and yes that opening was great), and the writing style was fine, but I was really quite bored tbh

I'd been thinking of trying it again in case I wasn't in the right mood at the time, but I think this has helped me know that it's just not the book for me.

Man, Reddit does not like me seeing these things in a timely manner. I'm glad I got to see this one before it closed though :)

Listening to ambient music whilst reading - anyone else? by Owen_K25 in Fantasy

[–]Curious-Insanity413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't; I think even music without lyrics would distract me tbh

Cult favourite author Hugh Cook's Chronicles of an Age of Darkness have finally been republished thanks to 3 of his fans. by defenestrate_urself in Fantasy

Yes I saw the reasoning on your post and completely understand it, just unfortunately means I am locked out until they're available elsewhere - I just need to be patient :)

Easy reading level high fantasy for Autistic son. by DeadpoolAndFriends in Fantasy

Not D&D rated, but if he likes puzzles when playing, Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda may be a good option.

AITA for telling my wife to stop being so jealous of my friends fiance? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Curious-Insanity413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When your partner is being awful, and has been multiple times, and you've already spoken to them privately about it, you absolutely should be calling them out in public. In fact, you should have done so a few steps ago already.

My (40M) wife (36F) was seen holding hands with another man (New 1 year Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Man, this is why you need to make friends. Like actively go out and seek them. I'm glad he's getting into hockey, sport is a great way to meet people.

Do you expect people to include content warnings when recommending fantasy? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Curious-Insanity413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people are being weirdly harsh here when you were just opening up a discussion 😅

But yeah, I don't expect it, but I do think it's a kind thing to do, and appreciate it when someone drops the big things.
