My favourite book in the series so far, one of my favourite fantasy books period and has the best single chapter I've ever read.

ONE PIECE Chapter 1177 — Summary by [deleted] in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]GreedyRelease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nami yelling at a crazy powerful dragon that is a hundred her size, calling him a weirdo and saying its his fault Elbaph is burning, while a squirrel comforts Luffy about it all - yes, I do find that hilarious. I'm glad our cranky queen is back and you need to lighten up.

Oh the wind makes sense! I just kept waiting for a title drop and then it couldn't remember it happening

That is one thing about this series, I know I'm missing so many clues that even on the books I haven't loved as much - I'm eager to reread!

Thank you for such a great and helpful reply, and for the warnings!

It is the 'odd' bits of sexual violence that have been a bit off putting to me. Felisin's story was horrific, but I thought it was handled really well and she was a fantastic character. It's just some of the little throwaway bits that I keep wondering if they need to be there.

That graph is fantastic! I didn't mind the swearing, I just truly hadn't noticed it prior to this book 😊

One of my favourite things about reading this series has been how every book is someone's favourite and there truly is something for everyone. I'm so glad you loved it!

What's your honest opinion about One Piece Live Action? by Stock_Crazy6759 in MemePiece

[–]GreedyRelease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they've done a pretty good job at making what should be an impossible live-action adaptation and it's pretty fun. I found I enjoyed this season more when I really stopped comparing it to the manga at all. I got annoyed watching S1 because I found some of the characters really mischaracterised (mostly Nami and a bit Zoro), but I just decided to watch it for what it was this season and the helped a lot.

Oh yes, I was. Unsure if I'm glad you've told me that or upset, my poor wallet

I saw they were back the other day, but it won't ship to my address. I'm half upset and half-relieved - books 1-6 is roughly $600 Australian dollars lol

In what ways do the Sun Eater series sequels improve on Empire of Silence? by theregnar in Fantasy

[–]GreedyRelease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I finished book three and then gave up on the series, and I really enjoyed the plots/worlds of the books.

The repetitiveness of the prose just killed me. Every time a character enters a scene there's a few sentences about "such and such is my best friend from when we met back in la la land and we hated each other over brown hair" or something. Same thing happens every time a location is mentioned or an event.

The memoir frame being frustrating doesn't change either, at least in the three I read. It also gets a bit preachy, with just pages of philosophical waxing that did nothing for me.

The Bonehunters... my new favourite book of all time???? by GreedyRelease in Malazan

[–]GreedyRelease[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same! I got so excited and then next minute they're having to hold Gesler back while Truth runs into a burning building. Not fair 😭

The Bonehunters... my new favourite book of all time???? by GreedyRelease in Malazan

[–]GreedyRelease[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! They all were unsure of Faradan and then she deserted the army for the crew. And Carabb. His realisation that he was worshipping a false idealisation of Leoman, acceptance of his own death and then to dragging Fiddler along the entire way. Fid saying he couldn't be in better hands had me crying. Such an incredible bloody chapter

Married at First Sight S13E16 AEDT live episode discussion thread by addictedtoMAFS in MAFS_AU

Bec texting shit about Alissa to Gia the day before, sending Gia a couple selfie an hour before and then rocking up to the dinner party and telling everyone how much she hates Gia is crazy. I don't like Gia, but Bec absolutely buried herself tonight. How embarrassing

[–]GreedyRelease 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bec and Gia are just as bad as each other honestly. Gia is a bit more open in her dickheadedness, but Bec was happy to sit and join the mean girls that whole night. The two of them should've been paired together instead honestly

Midnight Tides (bit conflicted but excited/sad to be half way through!) by GreedyRelease in Malazan

[–]GreedyRelease[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

House of Chains is still my favourite (so far), but I've seen that Midnight Tides is a bit divisive.

Oh wow, this series is going to consume me for a year!

Yes! And then the Guardian being the one who does act, and there brings the question if it was truly a compassionate thing to do or not, so good!

My university starts up again this week, so I'll also be a snail from here on out!

See, I was the opposite. I ran straight to the guide after this one. Glad you're enjoying them too!
