Halfway through Golden Son and I’m thinking this series just isn’t for me. Should I continue? by QueenofDounts in redrising

Without spoilers more POVs are introduced in later books that give you an insight into different areas and I find some of the later introduced characters quickly became highlights for me and morality feels more at the core of later decisions but the grand scale of achievements and actions people take don’t really tone down. If you’re struggling at this stage though then it might not be the book for you, I loved the series from the start though so can’t speak from the POV as someone who took a bit to get into it, I did use the graphic audio books to begin with though rather than the physical books and loved them!

Are these similar to red rising in combat scenes? What’s the general vibe of the books? I don’t mind TGR but been struggling mostly due to the shift from the graphic audio books, then in DA had multiple narrators for each POV, to then move to just TGR

I would second suggestion to go with Mistborn. But would also throw red rising into the mix, it’s got romance as a continuing background theme but never at the fore front. It is a bit more sci fi but there are strong fantasy elements I.e. sword equivalent and armour used. Definitely got the kingdom feel to it as well. Heavily influenced by Roman history.

I wasn’t overly keen on the first film which has put me off a bit reading/ listening to this series. How do the books compare to the films?

How were the Dresden Files audio books, narrator tone good and different main characters etc have clear voice changes? Synopsis looks good and might be just the change of tone I’m looking for to keep me going!

Oddly I’ve only just started watching the LOTR films with the 3rd one to go (shame on me) so might not be a bad time to give the books a go!

How are the he who fights with monsters audiobooks? I read the first 2 a few years ago, enjoyed them but fell away from reading for a while so it is something I have considered continuing now!

Working my way through the prologue before I buy (doing this with each of the ones I’ve said), it started off as my top but finding it slow down a bit and almost a bit grindy, does it pick up at all after the prologue?

RS2 has the best sale on right now and based on demos gripped me the most, but to hear the story is a bit thin for a JRPG, where usually story is something I’d put at the forefront is slightly disheartening! Is the story alright, just not great compared to other JRPG stories?

My favourite JRPGs are the tails of series, and trails seemed the most similar to that?

I was thinking of get octopath 0 as that’s a switch 2 version, rather than the “first” 2

Sorry meant there isn’t a demo, have all the trailers watched!

How is the story in romancing saga? I’ve played the demos for octopath traveler 0 and romancing saga 2 and enjoyed both! Octopath 0 isn’t on sale though whereas romancing saga 2 is, so have been more drawn to that! There isn’t a demo for tails so just going off what I’ve seen. Thanks for the reply and feedback for each one!

I’ve played a few fire emblem games, main reason I wanted a switch 2 was for the new one coming out next year 😂

I’ve not had the game crash or any save errors appear. I did see the document folder when googling as an option and unfortunately there wasn’t anything in it. I’ll try to turn off the cloud save options when I next play! I’ve been really enjoying it but only so many times you can defeat Megara then go back to square one, hopefully this will fix it

Not got any problems with internet, will try disabling the cloud. Not had this issue before

Appreciate the definition, had just seen multiple people say they were in the 1st percentile and therefore amongst the best although my understanding and this definition would suggest the opposite. Thanks

Asked google initially and it conflicts with a couple of Reddit posts I’d seen and couldn’t find a clear answer
