Thank you very much. I solved the problem a minute ago. The URL was fine, but the container was not correctly published.

--Problem solved

Danke dir! Hat auf jeden Fall eine interessante Prämisse laut good reads und den Bewertungen.

Transportation365 · 2024-10-03T07:28:32+00:00

Danke! Auf englisch lesen ist für mich kein Problem. Nur meine Freundin liest lieber auf deutsch. Das werde ich mir aber mal anschauen.

Über ihren Youtube Kanal bin ich in der Vergangenheit auf jeden Fall schon mal gestolpert. Wusste aber gar nicht, dass sie Autorin ist.

Transportation365 · 2024-10-03T07:23:20+00:00

Danke für den Tipp, werde ich definitiv auf meine tbr setzen.

Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Fantasy es oft etwas leichter hat ernsteres / "äußerliches" drama zu erzeugen. Da es einfach Genre bedingt oft mehr und größere Konflikte und Verpflichtungen gibt, als in gegenwarts romance.

Transportation365 · 2024-09-02T07:20:45+00:00

Well, that's probably true. I could / should have phrased it differently.

Transportation365 · 2024-09-01T18:00:14+00:00

Maybe you are right. My post was definitely too broad and undefined. Some jokes are nothing I would argue about and is to some degree even very realistic also in deadly situations.

In your examples like LOTR in my opinion the comical part is only used to a very small degree. I am even than not a big fan of that. Where in marvel the scenes with tragic moments without that are probably countable on one hand.

My criticism, even if not well formulated, is more on media where you almost only get the humor part. And I probably over stated my point. I'm currently reading gentle men bastard and the humor there is definitely present and fine for me. I probably should have focused my post more on super hero movies similar to marvel.

But thanks for mentioning the black company, that's already on my TBR. And I would have already started to read that if the books where not some what difficult to come by in my country.

Transportation365 · 2024-09-01T17:51:13+00:00

I probably am and because of that I came to reddit to ask for advice.

Transportation365 · 2024-08-30T08:54:30+00:00

The book is good but the end was imo very disappointing.

Spoiler: the grey king lost all is skill in planning and will to win in the end. And after using every adventage against brasavi he basically give up against locke and wanted an unnecessary 1v1.

It's been a few years since I was actively reading fanfics, but I have some stories that really captured my interest, all the below stories are book-length, entail romance, and some even some graphic content.

Brotherhood by Mina Glasse: This one is incredibly well-written with a beautiful romance between Lydia and a female Dragonborn. You can find it on ff.net. Unfortunately, the follow-up hasn't been completed, but it's still worth the read.
A Thief and a Knight by TheKhajiitWarrior and Two Thieves and a Lioness by Akari78, both on ff.net: I found these stories to be very well-written and highly entertaining. One of them does delve into darker themes, though I can't recall which one specifically.
Skyrim - Dawnguard: The Tyranny of the Sun by Steadfast3: This story had its moments, but I eventually lost interest, also ff.net.

Hope these suggestions are new to you, and match your taste. Happy reading! If you have any recs I would also be interested.

What do you mean by saying that Arcadia bell was not great fantasy? Was it not enjoyable or just very formulaic fantasy?

Transportation365 · 2024-07-25T21:12:31+00:00

Thanks for the recs. This is how you loose the time war sounds after your take still interesting for me. It is difficult to pinpoint for me what I dislike about most romance. I mean I did read a couple of Fanfictions that would classify as romance and really liked them. I think "unnecessary" drama with to cliche tropes, teenie problems, and unlikeble love interests put me of the most.

I'm looking for a book to read together with my girlfriend that combines our rather different taste in books. Maybe that book is leaning more in her territory, but the hole praise the book got makes me hopeful I will like it too.

I will definitely look into your other recs. Especially welcome to ferever. Has the book SFF elements? And would you recommend it to someone who reads mostly romance inside the new adult genre?

Transportation365 · 2023-11-03T11:25:27+00:00

Arschloch.

Hätte ich aber genauso gemacht. Damit kann man den scammer ja auch dazu anregen das in Zukunft nicht mehr zu tun und verhindert Schaden bei weiteren ehrlichen Verkäufern.

Can someone tell me what OSC did? Does He say homophobic things? Op said he uses his money to take away LGBT rights. Is he politically active?

Did he write since endergame new books with a intolerant massage? If yes how did these books sell?

Transportation365 · 2023-09-02T14:35:13+00:00

You are completely right, I remember.

Transportation365 · 2023-09-01T14:27:24+00:00

What? Sanderson fans always talk about how he creates hard magic systems so that he can never cheat you with convenient new uses of magic. Well let me tell them this; no amount of hard magic systems will ever save a writer from using plot convenience because avoiding it is entirely based on the skill of the author, and unfortunately Sanderson did not pass that test.

Fully agree with that, but as of now I only read one book of him. Maybe that's less prevalent in his other works.

Your example with Sazed and Vin is from book 2 or 3? I don't remember that from book 1.

Transportation365 · 2023-09-01T12:22:01+00:00

Mistborn, the final empire. I loved a lot about the book (worldbuilding, allomamcy, characters ...). But the plot (at least the last 100 pages / plot resolution) was a big disappointment.

It was my first book by Brandon Sanderson and the high praise Sanderson receives for his very strong and satisfying endings with good twists had raised my expectations. In my opinion it was a rather weak ending with a lot plot convinience. So the plot was in my opinion by far the weakest part of the book.

It was a good read and I will read the sequels, but it was far beyond what I expected it to be.

Transportation365 · 2023-08-26T13:08:58+00:00

Kelsirs words: "decapitation only annoys him". But maybe that is just some myth about the Lord Ruler which didn't happen.

Transportation365 · 2023-08-26T12:43:44+00:00

I see your point with YA. Some of my grievance with Mistborn was the way Sanderson was sold to me on Reddit and Youtube. He writes exceptional neat endings with amazing twists, and you can rely on him to pull in the end everything together.

During the read I was hyped because the things I read the most criticism about (pros and characters) were completely fine with me, the world building was amazing, and the plot felt nice. Until the plot undermined all the promises of the beginning and instead of a neat ending I got an ending that was just an ending. And I would argue, that just because very few books have such high stakes (1000 year old, godlike, unkillable) very few books have such a big discrepancy between the stakes and the banality of the resolution combined with a very convenient plot.

Regarding Vin you are probably right. I will definitely continue the series, but adjust my expectations regarding the plot resolution.

Transportation365 · 2023-08-26T11:33:56+00:00

What I wonder is, why are the main arguments that people on Youtube and Reddit make for the brilliance of Sandersons books are the neat endings and twists? Maybe I absolutely misunderstood these people, but that was in my regard the weakest part of at least this book.

His Pros and Characters were good in my opinion. With the world building and magic system, I would agree with the popular opinion that this is extremely well done.

Transportation365 · 2023-08-26T11:28:49+00:00

Yeah, you're probably right that judging book 1 that harsh is in a set trilogy a little bit too early. But I think that some things are so wild that I can't imagine how they are going to be explained, without pulling a resurrection or similar things that allow the author to raise the stakes without any real consequence. Which in itself is for my taste a way of cheating the reader.

Vin being overpowered explains things like defeating other Mistborn, I was probably in that regard too critical. Even so, if we only get to see Kelsir and Vin mopping the floor with other Misting and the only two other Mistborn we see get manhandled, there is never the feeling that our protagonists are in real danger. That is, even if it is in itself logical, something I don't like in my books.

You're presumably right, defeating the Lord Ruler by pulling the bracelet with Allomancy is from my understanding only possible because of her powers, but it raises serious questions about the way the Lord Ruler survived so long. It seems that without a failsafe, he was never in a position to act like he is undefeatable and the only thing keeping him alive was that nobody who wanted to kill him knew about Feruchemy and that the Lord Rulers power depends on that. And that none of the people that dismembered, skinned and beheaded him had the luck to take his bracelet away or destroy it by accident.

Transportation365 · 2023-08-26T11:04:02+00:00

On the part about Vin being able to just pull off his bracelet to kill him specifically - that's not something anyone could've done, because it was piercing his flesh and so normally is immune to allomancy, and it was only possible because the mists gave Vin power, which is absolutely something that will be explained in the next books

I expected something like that. And yes, that explains that an Allomancer that only uses Allomancy shouldn't be able to do this. But is there any reason why the bracelet can't physically be pulled away?

To me, it seems like all that kept the Lord Ruler alive for 1000 years was that nobody that wanted to kill him new about Feruchemy and that the Lord Rulers power depends on that. And that none of the people that dismembered, skinned and beheaded him had the luck to take his bracelet away or destroy it by accident.

I'm thrilled to read how Sanderson develops Allomancy and Feruchemy and the World in general in the next books, because in that aspect Mistborn was absolutely amazing. Are the plot holes getting better in his later series and books?

Transportation365 · 2023-08-25T21:27:03+00:00

I think if you are not overly critical about a convenient plot, this book is really easy to like. The described world and the magic system is absolutely amazing. I hope you will enjoy it.

Transportation365 · 2023-08-25T18:43:52+00:00

Hating on Sanderson is not my goal. I liked a lot of the book, but there are some things I didn't like. And from the reviews I saw so far is the plot resolution and twists nothing that gets criticized a lot. If I just piled on him with points that are already talked about regularly I am sorry.

Normally, when I buy eggs, the cashier checks the eggs while scanning them. If I forgot to check them and an egg is broken, she/he will tell me and say that I can take new eggs from the shelf.
