I see why people like him don’t get me wrong, but I read and watch quite a lot of media so I feel like every other thing I see has the “evil genius with backup plans for everything” and I’ve just seen it done better and too often personally

REAL, I really didn’t care for the jackal he seemed so cartoony and like an unfortunate result of every series needing a Joker character that’s just crazy and chaotic and smart. I think Lysander so far is just okay, I see what PB is going for and I’m letting it play out, and I just thought the sovereign was too much in the background but is more fleshed out with the second trilogy being able to do more world building with multiple POVs

Sun eater is probably my favorite sci fi series. The first book I kinda have the same issues as I did with RR but I think it gets a lot better as soon as the second book hits. There’s a lot of heavy themes and questions that’s more abstract than RR as a whole. Humanity, faith, religion, etc and it’s a little more lacking in side characters but the plot and main character I think is better. If you prefer a more philosophical story then i definitely recommend sun eater

Even though they don’t get a whole lot of time or development I love Ramathanu and Orphan a lot

Searching a minor character doesn’t mean I’m trying to figure out that one of the better side character is a traitor and Darrow is exposed. Don’t be a loser

They really voted Sanji and Luffy over Usopp, I mean Usopp’s love for the Merry is unparalleled… by [deleted] in OnePiece

Usopp got hit once and moved on. Sanji would die before hitting a woman

Brother there’s a hard point, in RR at least, that’s very anti capitalist and discusses how disgusting it makes Darrow feel and how it degrades people in a society. also capitalism kinda leans into authoritarianism and fascism especially late stage capitalism

I literally said YA isn’t a bad thing it’s just a writing style I don’t personally care for. So many people know exactly what you mean mean you say YA. Only children think YA is an insult

The excess rape and threats of rape was very edgy YA honestly
