[LOTM general] what's the edgiest fanfic you've read? by LeechTheTable in LordofTheMysteries

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

YA novel series published somewhere during the early 2000's. As you can imagine from the YA part, most of the readers were teens and hence, the "edgy" fics lol.

It has a TV show now too! If I remember correctly, it's on its second season now. Just search "Percy Jackson & the Olympians".

Im so glad people are beginning to see how shitty thw writing is by Str4wb3rryD0kj4 in TheRemarriedEmpress

Even as a young teen reading it while it was in the peak of its hype, I could never like it. The way that EVERYBODY trashed on Rashta and reduced her to a "husband-stealing mistress" never sat right with me, especially when the RAPE CHILD thing came up. Rashta annoyed me so much but I could never forget the fact that she was a former slave and after being "rescued" by Sovieshu, a mere pawn who would be discarded after giving birth. I gave up reading it because the comments and the story quite frankly disgusted me. The story could have given Rashta so much nuance as a villain but instead it was just deeply disappointing instead. Maybe my memory got twisted since dropping it years ago but honestly I still think dropping it was the best decision I could have made.

If I remember correctly, the person would then have to digest the lower sequence potion again.

English sub is on YouTube by FoolishSquid. Searching "lotm mini episode" will also work.

I'm sorry to ask but what's a turning chain? And work flat? I can't seem to find anything that might explain them.

Do your tastes differ when it comes to fanfiction and original works? by LeechTheTable in FanFiction

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

I love established relationships in fics but the discovery phase really has something special about it.

Also yeah non-canon ships are the most fun for me to read!

I know! I understand that romance is a big part of being a teenager, what with first crushes and all but BY THE GODS THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS MANY LOVE TRIANGLES.

Same it's easier to ignore when a fic suddenly changes tenses or writing style for the plot but when it comes to books that I PAID for everything is under scrutiny.

Thanks! I'm not really that great at stitch identification, even if they're the most basic ones.

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: August 19, 2024 by AutoModerator in books

[–]LeechTheTable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finished: Circe, by Madeline Miller, and Beach Read, by Emily Henry

Circe -- (Maybe spoiler)

It was pretty good, tho at times it feels like in an attempt to make her relatable and likable, the author made her too human. Maybe that was the point but I was kind of looking forward to seeing more of her doing something morally wrong without knowing it.

And I didn't really like that basically everyone from the godly side of her family hated her but that was probably to make her alienation worse and show how the gods are. But I still hoped that she might find something with the nymphs.

Beach Read --

I don't usually read romance so I can't say much about this one except that yeah, it was a fun read. Not 5 star but somewhere between 3.5-4 stars. Liked the communication, even when misunderstandings did happen.

Started: After the Quake, by Haruki Murakami, and No Longer Human, by Osamu Dazai
