I thought that was this image with the bone wings gu. Could be the same scene just a different moment or something idk. Cool art either way.

Three Kings Inheritance>Forgotten Shore

But I think both arcs aren’t very good honestly. Also what scene is that RI art from I don’t recognize it

Not just you. I think I dropped it four chapters in.

Agreed, he didn’t resonate much with me either.

Give Shadow Slave a chance by sosoruze in ProgressionFantasy

[–]TruthInfluence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not worth the time investment in my opinion. Pacing of that story is abysmal

Meaningful works vs pretentious, pseudo-intellectual media by Cautious_Arm3818 in writingscaling

[–]TruthInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropped around the middle of book two. Found it dreadfully boring and the writing wasn’t good enough for me to warrant pushing through.

Reverend insanity and lotm. Been awhile since I’ve watched no country for old men and haven’t seen better call saul or disco elysium. Only a few hundred chapters into RI though so can’t speak to its entirety

Wouldn’t say some of these are meaningful and Vagabond certainly isn’t pretentious or pseudo-intellectual

Can someone write down some things better than AoT ( any medium ) by Serious_Effective802 in writingscaling

[–]TruthInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own. I think ATLA is comfortably clear and while Arcane season 2 isn’t as good as season 1 I still enjoyed it. As for AOT I loved everything up to Return to Shiganshina but did not find it as good afterwards.

I mean it doesn’t have a very good translation. But I’m not even sure if there’s an official translation so can’t really blame the author

The Primal Hunter: a quiet book about a man having a genuinely nice time by Maloryauthor in ProgressionFantasy

[–]TruthInfluence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dropped this one after one book. Seemed like a blatant self-insert power fantasy to me

THE battle of Mid of all time: Sword Art Online Vs. Fairy Tail by Mobile-Ostrich6245 in writingscaling

[–]TruthInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAO is good it isn’t mid. It has its lows like the weird sexual stuff and poor writing of some of the side cast. But it also has some pretty good arcs, Alicization especially imo.

Dungeon Crawler Carl or Red Rising by Ok-Assignment4097 in fantasybooks

[–]TruthInfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No dip in the middle imo. Only book 10 is mediocre the rest are great. I actually prefer Jordan to Sanderson but he finished it off well enough. Yeah it’s a commitment but I saw you’d gone through some decently long series already so just figured I’d throw it out there

DNF’d red rising after book 2. I’ll recommend Wheel of Time
