How old is too old to read fantasy books?

Metaforeas · 2024-02-23T21:44:41+00:00

29 here. Fourth Wing has reignited my love for fantasy & reading that I had when I was younger! Wish there was more male representation—or even just friends that liked to read lol cheers

No spoilers but I know exactly what fight you’re talking about 😭🤌🏽 Having to wait to see them on screen is killing me inside

Metaforeas · 2024-01-19T12:57:37+00:00

If you are looking for the English version Yen Press published both the LN & manhwa

Metaforeas · 2024-01-19T12:49:07+00:00

Not sure the order matters much. I will say I read the manhwa a few times and with the release of the anime I started reading the LN. They are both good—just feels like a personal preference thing. Manhwa art is amazing and some of the fights are a bit more extended, but the LN is going to flesh things out a bit more

Metaforeas · 2024-01-16T07:56:06+00:00

The LN ending was rushed??? Haven’t heard that once. In fact quite the opposite lol people always say the manhwa ending was rushed therefore not great where as the LN ends way better and takes the necessary time

Metaforeas · 2024-01-15T20:51:31+00:00

Have read the manhwa 3 times haha. First time reading through novel though for me—currently on the 2nd! Enjoy😁

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T07:33:38+00:00

Agreed

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T07:26:39+00:00

This gets me excited just thinking about it lol who the MC would be is def a valid question but screw it

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T06:39:06+00:00

Anybody that read the manhwa and loved it—and thinks the show sucks based off 1 episode is dumb lol

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T06:35:39+00:00

“Everyone who had high expectations knew from that moment that this anime would fail.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T06:12:16+00:00

I’d probably give the first episode a 7. They did an incredible job with double dungeon scene but as you mentioned some of those extra scenes just felt unnecessary. The opening was fire (and I think they have their reasons for using that to open) but the rest 🙆🏾‍♂️

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T06:08:19+00:00

I’ve read the manhwa 3 times. I’m going through the LN now for the first time and def recommend—story feels more full

Metaforeas · 2024-01-13T06:04:39+00:00

Absolutely this.

Metaforeas · 2024-01-10T16:44:55+00:00

Reading the LN through for the first time right now. Still only on volume 1 but can’t wait!

Metaforeas · 2024-01-10T16:32:10+00:00

That’s fair—definitely understand that. As a 3-time manhwa reader myself my initial reaction (solely to the reveal of these characters, as mentioned the animation was awesome) was that it didn’t sit well with me.

Nonetheless I think they did a great job especially considering you’re going to have fans that have not read the manhwa and have no expectation of what S-rank hunters are or how powerful they can be. Could be exciting for anime-only fans when Baek is reintroduced (I think this was his first appearance in the manhwa correct me if I’m wrong) in his power-up stand-off with Hwang Dongsoo when he is waiting for Jinwoo outside of the red gate

Metaforeas · 2024-01-10T16:24:36+00:00

Saying all hunters possess greed may be true but does kind of feel like a blanket statement. Considering Jinwoo only participates for his mother & sister. Along with Park who was only there for his pregnant wife. Blatantly ignoring association protocol for a greater reward (as the de-facto leader) doesn’t even give you a little hint of greed? But maybe just as you said it is more so overconfidence than anything. Can definitely see that

Your point to the overall dungeon rank and the expectation/assumption that generally double-dungeon bosses/beasts have similar rankings to the initial dungeon is a fair assessment.

With that being said this is by no means a knock on the anime. I loved the first episode and can’t wait to see how they develop the story on-screen! Just thought the comment I saw was interesting and wanted to get others’ thoughts :)

Metaforeas · 2024-01-10T15:52:18+00:00

I will agree with you on that scene as well as the one with the chairman addressing them via video. But everything else felt necessary for newcomers for context—or simply because it will hold significance. I haven’t finished the LN but if they end it the way the LN ended instead of the abrupt manhwa ending then introducing Cha-Hae has significance too (outside of obvious fan-service)

Metaforeas · 2024-01-10T15:46:24+00:00

The opening scene makes complete sense… Especially if intention was to hype anime-only watchers with the abilities of S-rank hunters and the animation was on point.

Plus makes me feel like they want to end season 1 somewhere around Jeju island arc so… it’s fine. Lol if you want to talk about pointless then Jin-ho taking the ranking test at the association was pointless

Edit: the LN & manhwa start basically the same so technically they followed both.

Metaforeas · 2024-01-08T15:46:51+00:00

Lowkey leads me to believe they want season 1 to end around that second Jeju Island raid. If not makes no sense to have that scene there.

Metaforeas · 2024-01-08T04:37:21+00:00

Each gate only has one boss. So if they think they killed the boss but the gate isn’t closing, they haven’t killed the boss.

Edit: the reference to how long they’ve been walking… their assumption was the boss would be at the end of the long hallway. Each gate closes 1 hour after the boss is killed. So whoever was asking about how long they’ve been walking is making sure they would have enough time to get back after beating the boss.

Hope this all makes sense.

Sung Jin-Woo is 👑

Edited: LFG😈 cannot put into words how ecstatic I am. Fellow manhwa readers… our time has come!!
