      Which he could easily fix by aging up Greg, or not resetting a major plot point status quo every other book

      ⁠​⁠@@FrenzyFanboyExactly! All those problems Jeff Kinney has with the series could go away if he committed to changes and/or aged Greg up.

    These books are getting too comical, this isn’t even Wimpy Kid anymore. Like the early books had goofy moments but they were mostly still relatable. It kinda sucks how Kinney can’t stop making these books because they make so much money.

    To call this book unrealistic is an understatement. Nothing in this book makes sense with the lore of the previous stories so this was a REAL slog.

    Lets not ignore the fact the description of this book is a complete LIE. It says "Can Greg, Rowley and their classmates save their school before it gets shut down?" When in reality, that only happens for like 10 pages...

    This book is hated for the same reason Double Down is: just one random event after another, with no cohesion whatsoever, and the "main plot" advertised on the back doesn't happen till almost the end of the book.

    • @thedeutschman9905
      @thedeutschman9905 24 дня назад +1

      At least double Down didn’t contain anything too outlandish like No Brainer did and it’s something a kid could actually go through, but yeah, double Down is still bad though….

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about this book. It doesn't even feel realistic anymore. Books like The Last Straw did stuff like this way better because it connected plot points and felt actually believable despite being ridiculous at the same time. I'd definitely reread The Deep End and Double Down 5 more times before rereading this one.
    Also is it me or are the character designs starting to feel super samey? You can see it with the noses.

    I just don’t get how anybody could get invested in this series anymore. What’s the point of baiting us with changes to Wimpy Kid if Jeff Kinney doesn’t follow through on it? All these ideas for book about Greg possibly having a change (which gets reset by the end of the book anyway) has no weight as we know he won’t change. Imagine if Jeff Kinney had actually committed to changing the series instead of just resetting things Everytime, he’d have a much larger audience. But instead he keeps relying on the same middle school setting we’ve seen a dozen times before, and he’s become creatively bankrupt at this point.

  • @George-real
    @George-real 9 месяцев назад +9

    I feel like it would be much more worth while to just decanonize most of the new books leading up to when Greg should graduate and make him go to highschool and try to age the books with the readers. I stopped reading ages ago but I started reading these books in elementary school and have now graduated highschool before Greg even finished middle school

    I agree with you all the way on this. I actually posted a book review on Amazon, and I totally agree that it's perhaps the weakest book in the series due to their being no real conflict until act three, and how things seem on the up and up by the end, only for the status quo to reset entirely, making everything that happened in the book pointless.

    Literally word for word on how I feel about this book. No Brainer has so many plot holes that ruin the book for me like: Alex Aruda not being apart of the Fly Highers Club despite being one of the smartest students in his class. Hot Mess better cook with its family plot or I'll lose all hope in the series (also w hard luck fan).
