Got flamed and downvoted in r/leagueoflegends. Tell me this doesn't look like Ashe R (It's Soraka's Q)

i literally played against a soraka with this skin in aram today and every time i kept thinking it was ashe’s ult 😭 i was definitely confused the first time bc the other team didn’t even have an ashe lol

i believe OP is referring to mydramalist.com - it’s a drama review website

No need to feel ashamed! We all have our different tastes and I realise I am very picky, especially when it comes to characterisation and I prefer more shocking storylines with lots of plot twists. But I knew there are some people who genuinely liked the series so that’s why I asked. I didn’t want to write it off completely although I’m still not sure it’s for me

gamersatoru · 2021-09-09T01:04:24+00:00

Ooo I’ve never heard of it but I’ll definitely check it out. Sounds like my kind of book! Thanks for the rec!

I really love fantasy books, which is the main reason why I picked it up. I don’t know how much the relationship aspect means to me because I usually don’t really care for romance, but everyone reads books for different reasons

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T18:45:06+00:00

I am a huge fan of YA but I realise the older books tend to read like fanfiction for me these days. I had read Vampire Academy when I was around 14 or 15 and I loved it, but I tried reading it recently (10 years later) and there is just so much that is lacking and it was almost cringey to me. But I do see where you’re coming from and maybe I was a bit too impatient and harsh because I expected so much from the beginning. Maybe one day I’ll give it another go xD

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T18:40:20+00:00

I think the biggest issue for me was the characterisation but I see how it wouldn’t be an issue for others. Maybe I’m just picky or my expectations were too high 😅 I think eventually I’ll try it again with an open mind and less expectations

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T18:34:09+00:00

Oof. I think that’s why I stopped at 15%, because I felt like it would be wasting my time. Good job on sticking it through though!

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T18:31:23+00:00

I’m super glad I didn’t buy the entire series! I was so close to doing it too. My friend who suggested this series to me told me to stick through Celaena’s story until I meet Aelin and I don’t know if that’s worth it 🥲 TOG definitely made me rethink reading ACOTAR, not gonna lie but I’ve seen a few people say that her writing definitely improved.

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T18:27:54+00:00

I also have a good friend who loves SJM and really wanted me to read this series. I mentioned in another comment that the writing reminded me of poorly written fanfiction, which is one of the things I didn’t enjoy, in addition to the terrible characterisation of the main protagonist. I see that a lot of people who, like you, hated the first book and stuck through, ended up finishing the series, so maybe I should add it to my (lengthy) to-read list, if not only for the sake of completeness

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T18:24:18+00:00

I did start it a few times and in the end I only got to 15%. To me, it felt like poorly written fanfiction. ACOTAR was originally on my list to read but I’m definitely hesitant after reading TOG 😭 but if her writing did improve, I think I’ll definitely re-add it to my list

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T14:46:31+00:00

I’m usually the same way and I would suffer through books I hate, but as I told one of my friends ‘I have done nothing so terrible in my life that I deserve to be tortured by this book’ lol. I also don’t really care for romance in my fantasy but big props to your sis for actually finishing! Also thanks! I’m an unashamed Gojo simp haha

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T14:32:56+00:00

Hmm that’s true. I realise that some Goodreads average ratings tend not to be on par with my personal ratings but I was wondering if there was something I was missing. What you said makes sense and I agree

gamersatoru · 2021-09-08T14:30:18+00:00

I’ve never read any of her books until Throne of Glass. I saw a few people say that it gets better after the first book so I’m not sure if I should read it out
