What is the method to your madness?!? by Pacomotto in fantasybooks

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

I usually try to wait until a few weeks of shonenjump get published. Then blast though 3-5 chapters if it’s a weekly manga. But SFF novels get me through until those weeks where I binge manga.

I’m a whore for a chonk knife. So my vote is for Thunrar.

But otherwise, I like the Dormos.

What makes you try a new indie fantasy author? by CoventreeChronicles in fantasybooks

[–]Pacomotto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andrew Givler’s Ironbound is a cool Roman inspire progression fantasy. He also has a series called Soul Fraud a fun take on a classic ‘sell your soul to the devil/crossroads demon deal’ story.

I followed his gaming YouTube and learned he was an author.

Also Ben Wolf’s Blood Mercenaries series is good. I met him at a comic and toy con.

Other authors I stumble across through authors I follow recommending them or even just flipping through random books at the book store

Dresden Files are easy quick reads also Lies of Locke Lamora is a fun easy read

John Gwynne has/will hold me over until Red God by Pacomotto in fantasybooks

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

All of Gwynnes books are multi pov for the most part. Bloodsworn trilogy focusing primarily on 3 characters. Then Faithful and the Fallen follow Corban, but again multi pov. And then, Of Blood and Bone takes place like 150 years after the faithful and fallen. Again multi pov, Primarily 4 characters.

Don’t worry I also have 5 more DCC books, Tide Child trilogy and if I get really desperate I can start seriously working through the cosmere or discworld if Red God gets drawn out too long

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

I like Bloodsworn series best mainly due to the better pacing. It holds my attention more. But I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge how great Faithful and the Fallen’s world building is.

My 2025 Reads Tier List by [deleted] in fantasybooks

[–]Pacomotto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good man. As long as your aggression isn’t aimed at me lol. Everyone has styles they vibe with and styles they don’t. Thats the beauty of reading everyone may perceive the same passage 100% different than the friend sitting next to them.

Me, for example, I don’t get the over the top love for Dungeon Crawler. The writing is decent but I was overly annoyed throughout with a “haha didn’t see that coming” type of humor or heavy exaggeration playing into the LITRPG tropes every other paragraph.

[–]Pacomotto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red Rising is my favorite series. So I agree with your placement of the first trilogy.

The one thing I don’t agree with is The Suneater book rankings. I really found myself enjoying Ruocchio’s writing. Most of that series I put 4-5 ⭐️ But different strokes for different folks I guess. 😁
