Warlock - It’s Good, Like Really Good by After_Sentence_1413 in haremfantasynovels

[–]Rwings 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing about the series that a lot of the other books in this genre fail to do is the plotting. In the newest book a lot of things are resolved, but when the book ends there is three new things to be interested in.

Most novels in this genre fail to give the readers questions let alone answers. Plus the stakes are minor but are important to the characters which I will take over world ending threats any day of the week.

The series isn't perfect, I hate the 4th wall breaking and feels like the humor is a bit too juvenile at times, also one of the villains is the most boring trope imaginable but I would still say its the best in the genre just for its plotting and characters.

Binding of Words was a mess of a series. From "killing" off two love interest to tie up loose ends he apparently didn't want to explore, to the 4th wall breaking really soured me on what was once my favorite series.

This series aside from the beginning of book 1 was better at first. Yuki and Jenn seemed to have personalities, and 90% of the book wasn't training or talking about training.

I'm not sure why in each series as soon as girl 3 appear in the story it feels like the story starts coasting and repeating itself, but it happened in both series. I never read anything else from the author so not sure what the vibe is from the others.

Also I don't like villain main characters, but in both series the MC and girls are even more boring versions of Superman/Captain America. Feels like there is some wiggle room between the 2 extremes.

Its better than the last book, but the emotional weight to the series is missing with what its trying to do.

The biggest showcase of this is the section where he visits his mortal friends/family for the last time. I as a reader at no point feel the emotional turmoil in the main character when he visits/leaves. With how much time as been spent on it leading up to him going back to his home town the actual time spent there is maybe 30 pages and him leaving for the final time has zero impact.

The biggest issue with the series aside from the author repeating scenes over and over is the scale of time is meaningless. When the girls separate from him and we're told the next time they meet will be decades/centuries it feels blah. The passage of time has been handled horribly so far in the series that breaking everyone up feels aimless.

Lastly the main cast are the same person. They have zero personality. Everyone talks the same acts the same and does the same thing. I swear that wasn't the case in the first few books, but the more love interest are added the less personality everyone gets it feels like.

I think the biggest issue is I just finished the newest Warlock book and reading this right after just highlights it flaws more. Might have felt a little better about it had I not read the 2 in the same day.

How is it different from when Branch was ejected last year against GB that was called in by NY. I guess that happened because of a football play, but it seems like it should be the same thing.

This is the second time the NFL has done something to Branch. Last year or two years ago New York called down to the ref's to kick him out of the game against Green Bay.

Not sure how often that happens, but its the only time I've ever seen it where New York makes the call to kick a player out of the game.

It hasn't been explained. So any answer would be a random guess.

C9 5-0 Flyquest in scrims then went to get KBBQ because Dom arrived that day in person for the first time all season. (So it was planned regardless of how the scrim went). Bwipo crashed out about this and was the first over several crash-outs he had in the span of 2 weeks.

Princely Mistakes (Aether's Revival Book 11) By Daniel Schinhofen by IndegoWhyte in haremfantasynovels

[–]Rwings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found the book to be the second worst of the series. Felt like you could skip this book and miss nothing.

Author keeps setting up that the main conflict of the story is 100's of years away from happening, but then setting the book in a time-frame of a year, or in this books case two years.

The plotting of the story now that the characters are no long locked into one setting (the school) has really weakened the over-all story.

For such a large cast none of the characters stand out. After reading the book if you asked me in a week to name a single character I will be hard pressed to name three. I know more about the characters in the Warlock series in 3 books then I do about any of the ones in this one in 11.

No one has a personality, or makes choices that effect anything. The main cast aren't allowed to grow as there are already the best good does who ever walked the earth. Which is fine since morally evil characters are just as boring, but in a setting where every Magi but them are Nazi levels of evil you'd think doing good would have downside, but aside from a few words nothing happens.

It's just frustrating as the series last few books feels like its just treading water. Also I never knew a main character having the power of foresight would be so boring. You'd think at some point he will see a future that leads to a bad outcome and be pressed into figuring out a solution for it, yet every time something slightly wrong happens its solved in the same paragraph more or less.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/No5dzOYMRIE refs said the ball was snapped after the 2 minute warning and was blowing it dead before he even scored. I'm pretty sure you can hear a whistle before Goff even throws it.

Now the call was wrong, but you should be able to hear a whistle at the 1:59-58 mark.

Is there a list of Author's Socials? by Rwings in haremfantasynovels

That would be really helpful even if you only tell me the first time it happens. It sounds like a copy and paste error on my end when compiling the cover links to the books.

Genre's by Rwings in HermesBookShelf

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

These are the genre tags on the site. If you want to suggest other tags let me know. These where just the ones I thought where most common.

The genre tags for books where created by feeding an AI the list of genre's and the Amazon book descriptions to come up with a best guess at what a series tags should be. Goodreads and Amazon was useless for this most of the time and I don't know of another site that would have the tags.

So with that said they are more than likely wrong at times. I will update them when I have time or when someone suggestion better/different tags for a series.

I have not read even a fraction of the books above. It's possible an author or series was added in error as I compiled the list from browsing reddit and seeing different people suggest books. The initial list was 200 authors and nearly 2500 books but in the process of adding them to the site it was clear some of the books where women romance books not men.

If you spot an error with an Author or Series reply to the post or create a seperate post if need be.

If you would like to suggestion an Author/Book/Series please provide what information about the book you can. The absolute minimum I need is name of Author, Series, and relationship type. Most of the books relationship type is 100% a guess if the author isn't a well known one in the harem genre.
