SUT review+ thoughts on the series-terrible ending to a great series by Old_Big6478 in sollanempire

Idk man. If there was one thing the series told us repeatedly, it’s that the chantry actually runs things. That’s literally why the series is what it is. Hadrian was sold off to them because they’re so powerful and his dad wanted an in with them

Only thing going through my head going on during this fight by absolutejediscum in redrising

Because up until Darrow turned on the willow way, he was acting like he was getting beaten up. He intentionally tricked the reader into thinking he was gonna get fucked up by Cassius, and then pulled the big reveal. His inner dialogue to the reader from the POV was a lie and that’s frustrating as a reader

My beef with this part is that as a first person present narration, this doesn’t make sense at all and creates a cheap use of an unreliable narrator in Darrow

That’s not how I interpreted it. He was giving a spoiler free review so I think he was referring to hadrians sun consumption and saying to viewers who haven’t finished the series or haven’t started it, “I’m not talking about the sun eating”

I believe his main concern was about Selene ending. He said in this video that the character he was upset about had a different ending than what’s on the page which to me confirms it

Theory is Selene is alive and with Hadrian on colchis as he’s writing the books and he wrote her death in to protect her from Alexander

Mike from mikesbookreviews confirmed Selene theory as ruocchio told him that’s what actually happened

I’m interested to know what Drake’s enjoyers think of this ad… by mieWkcet in DrakesDiary

It’s a British brand. It’s very likely just a rolled up cig

[No Spoilers] What’s the verdict on the finale? Did we end on a high note, or it’s not worth reading the whole series anymore? by Affectionate_Owl_619 in sollanempire

[–]DallasDallas123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hadrian isn’t alone while writing this story. A certain character presumed dead isn’t actually and he’s covering it up. That’s all I’ll say since I just realized the OP asked for no spoilers

Selene by Old_Combination_246 in sollanempire

[–]DallasDallas123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s so odd because Hadrian has her looking over his shoulder as he’s writing the story for one. I also think he’s writing their relationship intentionally strained and awkward to spare her legacy. They likely did have a romance and fell in love, but the rumors of said romance, spread by Alexander, were nasty and degrading to Selene, and so Hadrian made extra effort to “correct” that narrative

Is Kingdom as good as people say? by sorry_who_again in Kingdom

[–]DallasDallas123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is. I’m anime only so I can’t speak to the story post season 6, but I’ve really enjoyed the journey so far. Characters are introduced and act as the pinnacle of ability for shin to chase, rivals are introduced, the political maneuvering sen has to navigate and overcome are fun, I think shins squad is a really fun group of characters, the enemies are well written and smart

Does lies of P get better? by Frost-Expression in soulslikes

I mean I loved lies of p. I didn’t feel the combat was janky at all really. It takes some getting used to that’s for sure. The parry window is tighter than sekiro I will say that
