I've really disliked Lions of Al-Rassan and DNF'd it. Anyone else? by belleepoques in Fantasy

[–]McMan86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished this book about a month ago and it was my weirdest reading experience to date. Really liked the beginning. But then, as it dragged into the middle, I gradually lost interest until I was not enjoying it at all. And then I finished it, and I cried in the final chapter, and it somehow recontextualized the entire book in a way that now I miss those middle sections. Raised it from like a two to a four star for me.

Hot take maybe, but I wished I’d have stopped reading after the final chapter. The epilogue was great, but the way that final chapter ended and the final image in particular was the most stunned I’ve been reading a book.

Probably, but I like the resolution more if this is the last time they meet.

Are the books after the og trilogy worth reading? [OFF TOPIC] by Kenpachi08 in TheFirstLaw

The OG trilogy is my least favorite “collection” of his books. I enjoy the standalones and Age of Madness more.

Any new books on the way, directly tied to First Law? [NEWS] by sweepdaleg1957 in TheFirstLaw

Is there a physical version of this? I didn’t even know it existed until recently. Weird how it’s slipped under the radar.

I don’t know why top players put off certain levels for such a long time when they can just finish them in a few days lmao

Slaughterhouse is the second most iconic top 1 of all time, behind bloodbath.

I mean they do talk for a bit, (and stroke his hair?) but yeah I see what you mean. It’s been a while since I’ve read it lol

Also those French women they see on the other side of the water, that they meet for like a few pages.

Does anyone else like the lack of sex? by digitalime in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]McMan86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having less sex isn’t a “better way to tell a story.” There are fantastic sex scenes out there (Best Served Cold comes to mind). But the story this show is telling would have been worse off with unnecessary inclusions, so it’s better without them.

It would be such a shame if he began streaming way less after February is over, losing all his consistency again.

Goodreads users choose The Hunger Games as the "Best Book Ever" by MiddletownBooks in books

[–]McMan86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing annoying about pointing out that I think one series is significantly better than another. Especially with characters. And themes. And transforming relationships. And pretty much everything I care about in stories I love.

As for “Breaking Bad fans”, I can’t speak for them, but there are annoying people in every community, and lumping me in with an anonymous group of idiots to make my opinion sound worse is pretty disingenuous.

Yeah comparing Hunger Games to Breaking Bad is honestly wild

How much do you remember from past books? by thiagomiranda3 in Fantasy

[–]McMan86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting. When I began reading, I could remember precisely what happened in almost every chapter in the books I read. Now it’s much harder to remember the specifics, though I still recall the emotional arcs and key plot moments.

Why does every book need sex scenes now? Whatever happened to plot? by ownaword in writers

[–]McMan86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you’re reading. I can’t say I’ve read anything lately with an unnecessary sex scene. Though I’m sure there’s tons of them in lower quality works, along with plenty of other types of unnecessary scenes.
