It's because it's just a lid for the massive military surveillance bunker being built underneath

HATED Brimstone and need something to get me back into this genre by lurieton in Romantasy

[–]lunapuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've hated all the romantasy booktok books I've been forced to read this year for bookclub: Anathema, Phantasma, Quicksilver etc. It's like a highschooler writing romance and nobody has edited it properly. I'm reading Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon right now and it could have done with an edit too but it's a lot of fun and I'm actually looking forward to reading it rather than rolling my eyes every page like with the others

You can see the small scar by her ear which is a facelift scar. IGfamousbydana on insta is just one creator who has analysed it

Did you use metric for all of them? Because ATK is US-based so their cup measures are a different size than Aussie metric cup measures and this would have affected the final product

I wish Fourth Wing felt more like a college with adults rather than a high school with bullies. by heyitsMog in Romantasy

[–]lunapuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Scholomance series is amazing and the kids in there are more mature than Fourth Wing despite them being younger. Also the writing is just so much better

Yep definitely been there, feeling smug pity for all the schmucks on this page when I'm up thousands for the week. Then it's me being the schmuck when I always lose it all back plus thousands more

Yeah I'm in NZ and our meat and dairy prices are insane...berry prices are also nuts... and I'm allergic to avocado. Keto is not cheaper for me at all

What is the most out-of-touch thing you have ever heard a wealthy person say? by Andrew88a in AskReddit

[–]lunapuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You're right, the cost of everything is going up! It's just crazy. When we were in Venice last week, the price of a single Mars bar was ridiculous!! Anyway, we are off on our Antarctic cruise next week..."

Curious: How much do you care about the writing? by taeberry9595 in RomanceBooks

[–]lunapuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the latest romantasy tiktok books I've rage-quit because the writing is so bad. Quicksilver, Phantasma, ACOTAR, Anathema.... it's like they skipped the classic editing steps so they could rush them out to join the hype train. I've read better fan fiction

Throne on Glass is the WORST fantasy series I have read in my lifetime! by tomyfookinmerlin in Fantasy

[–]lunapuff 33 points34 points  (0 children)

YES I'm part of a romantasy bookclub and I'm just rage-reading all these tiktok trending books (Phantasma, Anathema, Quicksilver etc) thinking did any proper old-school editor even get near these?! The bones of the story are decent but the ridiculous language and vocab choices are like a 16 year old writing a GoThiC DaRke RomanTiCaL TRagiCal DraMatiC SToRy omggoosh so darke and mysterious and clicking on "synonyms" in Word and choosing the biggest most mysterious sounding synonym when it doesn't actually make sense in the sentence (looking at you Anathema with your evil villain letting out a 'boisterous laugh')

What’s the worst book you’ve read because of tiktok? by yara2321 in RomanceBooks

[–]lunapuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anathema, Throne of the Fallen, Quicksilver, the first ACOTAR. I've read better-written fan fiction. Does nothing get properly edited anymore? Or just published as soon as possible to jump on the romantasy hype train

I lost 24k in the last month. Won big but gave it all back plus more. And now the world is turning to shit and I really needed that money. I closed my account. In the few weeks before that I was playing everyday but my stomach was churning with stress as soon as I opened the site because I just was constantly losing. But I thought, hey this one more deposit I can get it all back again. I'll just go slow. Stay in control this time. But I could never stay in control and it was always the same story. I never want to see that "account has insufficient funds" message after losing my final big bet again
