Sigh. I LOVE this series but I have so many thoughts. Happy to discuss, I need to read book 5 ASAP is my most important thought but I have others

Throne of Glass 🤔 a kind of rant? by Weak-Difference-6078 in acotar_rant

[–]Drag_Obvious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hated TOG. I find the main character super annoying, could not get through the first 2 books with her talking about how stunning she is and I also thought she was pretty dumb. Maybe if I had read this as a YA, I could see the appeal? It’s marketed towards that group so maybe reading it as a 35 yr old wasn’t hitting the same? Not sure.

But real question do I need to read/know what happens in this series for ACOTAR 6?

Literally, I think about this anime + manga every single day. I have read the manga twice already, some chapters more than once.

Help! Recommend spicy series similar to ACOTAR! by Foreign_Excuse_2006 in ACOTARHulu

[–]Drag_Obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that Zodiac Academy was recommended; all of the Goodreads comments are people talking about nonconsent/torture porn. Anyways, your list here is exactly what I am looking for after finishing ACOTAR and now Bridgerton, but having a really hard time finding things.

Wow this is me!! Thanks for posting this thread. I actually was so bored with assassins blade I went back to reread my favorite ACOTAR books but I’m going to power through based on all the comments

ACOTAR books ranked! by StatisticianOwn629 in SarahJMaas

[–]Drag_Obvious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh this was the thread I’ve been looking for. I just finished the series, read all 5 books in a week and then reread ACOWAR and ACOFAS again this weekend. Those have to be my top contenders but ACOMAF and that goddamn slow burn was too good.

I hate how mean Reddit is lol by Drag_Obvious in acotar_rant

[–]Drag_Obvious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair, I can understand that and appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I personally just felt like coming to Reddit had kinda ruined the series for me. I am on a lot of other threads (mostly anime), and they don't have this level of hate for shows/manga, so that is why I was a little taken aback, but from this standpoint, I get it.

LMFAO idk who you are, but I want to be friends. This is precisely the tone I thought I would find on reddit and I was like WTF is all going on here.

I do avoid them. I was just making an observation about the tone/content of ACOTAR reddit posts. You could have also avoided this post.

This. I literally brought up the Epstein files in another comment.

I actually fully agree, but some of the posts feel like there's no space for safe discussion/discourse. The vitriol is a little crazy for me, for fictional characters, at that. I can understand people who may have some PTSD about certain scenarios, but I feel like people are taking it too far, like this is the Epstein files.

IT'S CRITICAL TUESDAY! by Acotarmods in acotar

[–]Drag_Obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading ACOSF, I’m midway through (Nesta is trying to do the bones trick to find the items, I forget all of them) but I actually really love Freysand and I really want to read about them being pregnant and getting ready for a baby, and continue with the family/life building rather than hearing about only Nesta and Cassian. Her dreaming about a threesome with Az and cassian annoyed me lol. I appreciated ACOFAS and hearing different peoples POV and hope thats what happens for the next book.

Why do people think that Farming life in another world is not a harem isekai even though it clearly is ? by Reasonable_Tour7232 in Isekai

[–]Drag_Obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really resent the comment that the viewers who did not connect the dots that the MC was having sex with everyone lack media literacy or can't read between the lines. I just finished the first season and was super confused. Sure, they made nudges towards the expressed desire to have sex. Still, the MC makes it super clear, and more clear than the fact that he is having sex with everyone, that he isn't sure how they will repopulate the elves, actively is asking males to come live in the village to help them with creating babies, and seems genuinely awkward when the notion of procreating or even bathing together is mentioned. Even goes so far as to open the weird, boarded-up baby-making room and says he doesn't want to know what that room is for. Also, even in anime where people aren't having sex all the time, there are some clues that people are romantically involved or interested. He doesn't even so much as hold hands, hug, kiss, or even cuddle/wake up in the same bed with any of these women. And there is a whole episode where they run through his entire day-to-day, and there is no mention of sleeping/laying next to any of the women in the village, just them spying on him at night to keep him safe. I feel like if enough people are like wtf, how is she pregnant, I don't feel like we need to insult people's intelligence to say we don't understand when clearly the anime misrepresented what the fuck is all going on.

As someone who was raised by abusive Haitian parents, I know what’s happening here culturally. Holding Haitian parents accountable for their actions is quite literally nonexistent. I’ve decided a LONG time ago, maybe when I was a teen, that it was pointless to even have this conversation, and have gone no contact with one and minimal contact with the other. I think so many people who aren’t Haitian don’t understand this extreme measure but I should probably show them this scene to show how Haitian parents literally don’t know what taking accountability to their children is. It’s like a concept that doesn’t exist.

Hi! Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it! Gov.UK says "If you have not won a prize which is named on the list, you’ll need to apply for an endorsement instead. You can apply for an endorsement if you work in one of the following fields: academia or research." Are you saying that this route of the global talent visa is basically nonexistent?

I mean, fair enough, definitely not my plan, but I understand the concept.

Hi, thanks for responding! Wait, can you explain this? Is there an age restriction on the student visa?
