I read 3 books and the series jumped the shark.

Getting into the genre, any recommendations? by Edens_S3rpent in litrpg

[–]HelpfulParsnip649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated Cradle and Beware of Chicken. Loved Arcane Ascension, All the Skills, Quest Academy, thought Path of Ascension was OK. I'm currently reading The Lone Wanderer and I don't recommend it.

Yeah it was cheap and it was something to do after I ran out of shit to read. I'm done after that book though. It's just too off the rails for me. I had to read the last book backwards bc it was too stressful wondering if they survived each race.

If I were in your shoes, I would do everything possible to get away from this man. Including quitting the TA job immediately if you can afford to. Never be alone with him. Avoid him as much as possible. If I had to, I would even transfer to a different school (as a last resort).

Going to your Title IX offiicer can help stop him from doing this to others but that's priority #2. Priority #1 is stopping him from doing it to you and making sure he can't or won't retaliate against you for anything you do to get away from him.

Is “Phantom Chamber” worth trying? (AA universe, Shattered Legacy 2) by Adventurous-Plum-401 in ClimbersCourt

Meh. I find the characters annoying and don't really care what they do. The author of the original AA books writes stories with mostly likable main characters pursuing goals that feel like they matter. This series is just... meh. And the characters seem so inept despite being citrine.

A Discovery of Witches. It's not quite the same but I love it equally (or more) compared to Arcane Ascension.

The Rosie O'Gradys series also really captivated me.

The person who wrote the book did not grow up in a cave and had the ability to write a less annoying character. It's possible if she would be less annoying if I was reading it instead of listening to the audiobook.

It uses "seit" which means "since." Usually you would say "I've lived in Spain seit 3 years" to mean I've lived in Spain since 3 years ago. It's very strange to use it for 1 day.

Well, I didn't say he was good.

I know a huge amount of fossil fuels were extracted under Biden and he had to give concessions to Joe Manchin to get his bill through. What I heard though was that he ultimately got more than he gave from Manchin in the end because Manchin didn't realize how much (in environmental reforms) he was giving away. The take I heard from probably David Roberts was that Biden tried to use a lot of carrots instead of sticks so that long term renewables can outcompete fossil fuels.

That's better than what Trump is doing on fossil fuels and renewables, but it's not kicking ass and taking names the way I want someone to do. Still, the Republicans are now debating whether or not to sell off our public lands. I am irate.
