Susanna Clarke wrote Piranesi when she was depressed. She said something along the lines of, it felt like if people were not being highly productive then, they weren't worthy. I loved Piranesi. For me, it was about being aware of what the universe is trying to communicate when there are no other people about and no other distractions. I thought it was beautiful.
I couldn’t finish Piranesi and didn’t understand the hype but after reading your comment I think I’ll give it another try with this new perspective.
@@bellamin4549 i also absolutely loved piranesi. you have to approach it with an appreciate for the mundane, life... its one of those that i think you have had to experience a lot of darkness and then see the light to truly understand.
I loved Piranesi. all time fave!
It’s alway a bit funny to me how you talk about Fourth Wing. You don’t have to apologize - I literally read it because of your funny review. It sounded like my kind of stupid and I was right - I loved that book, can’t wait for the third. But I get it, it’s not a masterpiece. It just has the best ingredience to mess up my brain chemistry in the best way 😂 and I’m so sorry for everyone who picked it up because the marketing played them.
Well. The popular doesn't have to be the masterpiece. I will read it in January for the first time.. But I like dragons and fantasy books, so. I guess I will like it. Lately I read Battle Mage and it was a great book, but I never saw a video recommanding it.
@ should warn you it’s mainly focused on romance. My husband read it and enjoyed it, but even he would say there is too much romance for his liking.
@@Deni-mt9bj it will be my first romantasy then :).
Fourth wing is a YA read ! My granddaughter loves them !
@neriparragaming that’s pretty cool. I hope you’ll love it. I had a serious case of book hangover when I finished.
The insert of you playing the violin suddenly was soo beautiful !!
15:59 They can play as elves, orcs, argonians etc., but God forbid the character has boobs and they can’t relate.
Those are all masculine forms ;)
@ 😂 thanks that was my point.
It's not about relating. It's about being tired of silly girlbosses and the move towards making women more like men. Corporations want browny points for female rep, and yet they also want to erase femininity.
Unless they're just super pervy lol.
I watch sooooo many SFF booktubers but for some reason, your shelves always stand out to me. They're stunning 👌
Can you please post somewhere about what you thought Piranesi was doing? You’ve mentioned it a few times and I’m so curious!!!
she has explained it in a video before.. was a while ago. well earlier this year anyway I believe. she thought it was doing something else then it went a different way. I was super curious too since I loved Piranesi.. sorry wish I could remember more.. maybe she'll explain here or let you know the specific vid 😊
I think it was something like that she thought it was all in the protagonists head because of an mental illness. But since everything turns out to be real it felt flat for her. Something along those lines :)
The Witcher TV show is such a disappointment for me. I was not on the hate train for season 1 that alot of people were on but season 2 just shit the bed so hard. It's understandable that adaptations would change things but the changes made completely changed one of the main themes of book series. It's such a shame because I actually think the main cast is very good.
Good to know. I’m stopping on season 2 then
Agreed. Season 1 had its flaws but it is easily the best of the bunch.
Reviewers who don’t like Patrick Rothfuss’s novels get an instant follow from me. I bounced off those books hard.
Yes, imo, the dislike for his books is rising for a reason.
Name of the Wind: Kvothe being generally insufferable
Wise Man’s Fear: hold my beer.
Can't wait for Witcher 4. I am thrilled with the direction they are going and it is not a surprise if you played Witcher 3.
I'm one of those people, The more a book/movie/show is built up as being just so great and its gonna blow my socks off, This takes the genre/medium to the next level! I end up getting really disappointed because its not the book/movie or show's fault. It's that my expectations have been built up so much that it had no chance of meeting them. So the less hype/praise a series has the more likely I am to enjoy it. Book is really good? Good all I need to know I don't need anymore fluff words.
Fourth Wing turned me off to fantasy romance. I thought it was forced and the characters annoying. Want to give the genre another try if I can find a decent recommendation. Don’t want one bad experience to stop me reading something that is actually good.
lol i love you so much you're over here like "I can feel myself about to be insulting so I'll stop" and I just edited a video where I said, "I started reading it and was like... what the fuck IS this??!?!" 🤣I should really aim to be less emphatic hahaha
I 100% agree with you I dislike how some people in gaming hate on any video game with a female lead or a game with good disability, people of color, or LGBTQ rep. Plus the gifter channels they listen too.
LGBT make up like 1% of the world, and yet they are in everything. It's tiresome, boring and cringe.
Stormlight Archive in an animated adaptation sounds great. What would you say in regards to Mistborn, if it was getting an adaptation? Just curious.
I believe the whole cosmere would fit better as an animation. I can't see the cringy humor sometimes brandon pulls executed by real people... Something like Legend of Korra animation style would be great
@@August918 Interesting you say Legend of Korra instead of just The Last Airbender. Not that I mind, I am pleased to know if that will be the route he takes with the Cosmere.
@@deskhobbygirl oh I said Legend of Korra because Aang's animation despite being good it is also outdated. I think the style used in Korra fits better the Cosmere
Those Aot comments just want to make others upset. They have formed their opinion since the manga ending in 2020. Many people have been defending and explaining the ending. But nothing will convince them to change their opinions. It will only make you very upset.
It’s not an unpopular opinion.
Most people like the ending. The review are very positive
If you want to read positive comment, almost every comment on reaction videos are very positive
The King Killer Chronicles is good but I think the Suneater Series is a bit better, and its author managed to put out a new book every year.
I read most of The Name of the WInd a couple years ago because of the hype and it seemed like it would be something I'd like and DNF'd it. Great writing for sure, but totally overrated and couldn't stand Kvothe. Felt like he was so obviously a self-insert.
I appreciate your perspectives and whole heartedly agree. I want books that smart adults appreciate but don't have to be either pure fluff or extremely edgy. I would love to find more video games with the option for female character creation at the minimum (and bonus for giving this option their own customizable character/story/romance options). I don't need pure female leads, just something anyone would appreciate and feel immersed in. Loved seeing your violin snippet!
I agree with you 100% on Fourth Wing! The dragons themselves were cool, but the main character was insufferable. Definitely unrealistic, contrived romance. So glad to hear someone else say it! 🎉
I read The Name of the Wind about 10 years ago and really loved it (it’s sequel a little less perhaps). And I was obsessed with Kvothe. However, I may feel differently if I revisit it now, who knows 🤔
Oh…. fourth wing. I liked it OKAY. But then I have started Anne McCaffreys books and they are so much better!
I still haven’t read fourth wing lol 😂
Do you have a channel dedicated to your music?
It's so nice to hear someone else talk about Kvothe 😭 I also do think at this point that Pat Rothfuss has made it harder to enjoy his writing because of his really really bad opinions and breaking promises. I remember disliking Kvothe so strongly and no one else I knew at that point disliked him so it's just nice to feel seen haha
You mention that there are books that have done what Fourth Wing has done but better, are there any that you’d recommend? ☺️
Fourth wing is my favorite book as an adult. It got me out of a years long reading slump. Agree Violet is annoying and I wish we had more depth, especially with the other characters. But I think people love it because it's a top tier FUN read. It's easy to read and there's enough plot and depth to keep it interesting. I get why people don't like it but it's great for what it is. I think the hype changes people's expectations.
When it first came out , Name of the wind was my favourite book I’ve ever read. I couldn’t put it down
I loved Fourth Wing because it gave me the same feels I had when I read the Hunger Games. I didn't even realize I hadn't felt that feeling since HG. I loved The Hunger Games when it came out, and Fourth Wing had me by the throat.
Your chosen sponsor for this video… I pissed myself.
I haven't finished AoT yet but I think all these opinions are valid. :)
Loved Fourth Wing. Totally agree with you, though 😂. Tropey, not the 'bestest' of writing, ploteholes, the superficiality of it - yeah. But it was a quick book to ease me out of a bout of a fall depression - a right thing at the right time. I couldn't have handled anything more complicated then. If not for the brain fog, I probably wouldn't have liked it so much, lol. I don't think I'll ever read it again. I'll read the 3rd volume to finish the series (although the 2nd was BAD), but, yeah, it is what it is: a bit of digestable escapism for whenever your brain needs just that.
(I'm also The Name of The Wind 'hater'. In fact, I'm of the opinion that it and Fourth Wing have a lot in common when it comes to why they're so beloved - except the first is a power fantasy for men, the second for women. And it turns out that I (in the right circumstances) can stomach the second but not the first 🤔)
Would love to see anime adaptation of WOT and Cosmere. But we might not get that so we have to make due with what we have now.
I think Fourth Wing and ACOTAR are examples of books that are highly recommended because of them being more mainstream/accessible fantasy books for people coming back to reading. I personally got back into reading in 2023 specifically because of a friend's recommendation of ACOTAR/Fourth Wing. I feel like some people are becoming readers again after losing interest in reading (thanks to being beat over the head with literary fiction in school). These new/returning readers aren't familiar with the plethora of books that already exist, so they look to Goodreads or Booktok/other social media for recommendations. I'm sure that there are so many books that have done dragons/military schools way better but Fourth Wing seems to be the entry point and the only reference point new/returning readers have. I hope that makes sense!
Also, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy Name of the Wind. I understand what you mean though about Kvothe being insufferable/annoying at times. Also also, as an anime lover, why can't I get into AoT? 😭 I've tried a couple times but haven't been able to get through season 1
Unrelated sort of but my unpopular opinion is I will never buy/read Brandon Sanderson because he's in a cult that he must give 10% of his earnings to. Refuse to support it.
And all good books are pretty cookie cutter characters and he's figured out the formula that works for him, and it shows.
When i first tried to read Name of the Wind, I felt he was insufferable, too. I picked it up a few years later and didnt hate it as much.
Im halfway through the second book, but taking my time. I feel like the edititng in the second one wasnt on point, so I have my gripes about that. Im not as enamored with Patrick's prose as some, but he does write a few things within his books that hit. Having said that, i totally understand when people love his stuff and the others who dont.
PS 💯 agree with worries on Stormlight and feeling that animation would nest handle that story!!!
I liked his books, I laughed out loud at one point when reading them. It’s been awhile since I’ve read them so probably should reread at some point. I think my favorite parts were honestly how the author switched between third and first person, used to hate first person books and he made me like them more, and how he did the magic system
I got bored reading NotW, tbf.
I picked up forth wing thinking it was going to be another Throne of Glass but I am so with you, I just don’t get it!
oh noooooooo 17:42 I’m so sad you didn’t like piranesi :( I understand why but noooooooooo
I am not a huge fan of aot(so many people died and I was just tired of not being able to care about characters 😂) but dang that series has some awesome music. Loved your violin intro!
I don't think it's all that unpopular to say that NetFlix Witcher shouldn't have been made.
The same things bothered me about Fourth Wing, but I liked the dragons and went on hesitantly to Iron Flame and hated it. Done.
Found Name of the Wind well written but boring. Never considered reading the second book.
I would rather see more shows get the Castlevania treatment instead of live action. I loved the animation of the first Castlevania series.
I find Fourth Wing to be trash, but in a good way. I don't read it because it's a masterpiece, I read it because it's mindless fun - I enjoy reading about the world and characters. I totally understand how people can dislike it though.
After getting Amazon's Fallout, I really, really, REALLY, wish we would have gotten an Amazon adaptation of Witcher rather than Netflix. Netflix hasn't contributed anything of substance in years which they created and that was leading up to Witcher's creation.
As for Name of the Wind; I think the love for the series comes from the prose much more so than the character. I agree 100% with Kvothe being a kinda, bad, character overall. But the way the stories are written is very noteworthy. The polar opposite of the spectrum is BrandoSando. His characters are usually very well written and defined with prose that's just... there. And one thing they both do very, very well is world building.
Also, funny note on the Witcher, I tried going back and watching the show in Ukrainian now that I'm learning the language, and the fact that the subtitles and the dubbing aren't the same, and in many instances don't even contain the same context at all than what is said, is infuriating.
Wheel of Time and Rings of Power strongly suggest that an Amazon Witcher would have been even worse.
I still liked Forth Wing better than ACOTAR. I don't get the love for that one.
Awesome as always thanks I don't agree with some of these but I love your videos even if we don't agree I definitely want an animated storm light series
I can tell you why Fourth Wing and other books or films or shows don’t feel new. Everything is rebooted around every 15 years. Fourth Wing is the modern version of Eragon, which was hyped. HIMYM or TBBT are newer versions of Friends. Movies like Dune are refilmed after some time. Star Wars 7-9 is basically a worse version of Star Wars 4-6. And so on. Of everything which worked out in the past and made lots of money there will be a re-whatever version of it
I am a snob when it comes to AoT too lol I always fight back with some stupid criticisms people come up with haha
They changed the ending of Attack of Titan in the anime. The original ending in the manga was morally offensive. It was one of the few times I was legitimately upset when commusing media.
A million times yes on both of your overrated picks, except specifically for the second book of both series.
I think the first books of Kingkiller and Empyrean are fine -- both have some pretty good character beats and world building choices. Not great, but also certainly not terrible.
The second book of each are absolutely atrocious though; particularly Kvothe, the virgin who fucked a sex goddess into submission on his first try. Okay Patrick, sure.
I do not DNF lightly but I have absolutely zero interest in either of those book threes.
I liked season 1 of the Witcher…. It got so bad… went downhill
Paused the video at 6:24 to drop a like and this comment, because you said you have mixed feelings about Name of the Wind. Woohoo, I'm not alone!
I'm extraordinarly tired of people like this RUclipsr and some others in the comment section who keep strawmaning the argument about recent "girlboss" characters in visual media.
Can I ask something: when people keep saying that the problem isn't Ciri being the protagonist but that she looks awful, does it just bounce off your heads or do you actually understand what it's being said and lie to yourselves that no, the problem must be misogyny?
Seriously, I don't even care much how Ciri looks in this game, but it's objectively true that many characters look just like HR staff self-inserts or throughly defeminised women instead of, you know, *good.* And it's far too convenient to make them gay, female, freaking whatever so-called "protected category" so both the developers and slop-eaters alike can pretend it's not a legitimate criticism.
You don't care about it? Fine, but don't misrepresent what your opposition says.
Ciri being the protagonist isn't the issue; it was a known fact since the Witcher 4 was announced and no one complained. It's how she looks that's the problem to some people (and honestly, yeah, she looks way too much like Geralt to me. Not a massive issue, but I see why some people might be dissapointed and even upset).
Watch FRIEREN!
I enjoyed Fourth Wing and Iron Flame...mostly for the dragons, but can definitely understand why someone would not.
Everything Live action Witcher disappointed me except Cavil. Now, seeing what is being done to Witcher IV, I’m out. The lore breaking and the weak writing for the trailer drove me away hard.
Except the games don't follow book canon at all. Projekt Red has already said that.
Correction it takes place after the final witcher book plus the end of witcher 3 literally sets up why witcher 4 is how it is.
@ In the games themselves, it does say that only boys can be witchers. Also, it’s mentioned in the load screen script. Having Ciri as the lead character is no big deal. But breaking their own rules is a turn-off for me.
@@AdegaOutlaw In the books it's mentioned girls could be witchers, but they had higher death rate than boys, hence it was boys who were being used (and they still had very low chance of survival). Triss and the kaer morhen gang even consider the effects of the mutation on Ciri.
Also the games start literally after the death of the main character which is reversed for the plot, Geralt is given amnesia coz the devs wanted a ginger love interest instead of Yennefer etc etc. But suddenly everyone is a lore master coz a woman trained to be a witcher, became a witcher lol
@@MrsRimavelle Not true
The Fourth Wing is on the top of my worst books list EVER. Not just 2024, but the worst books I've ever read.
TW4 isn't likely to be bad because Ciri is MC, it's because they're clearly going to have to retcon their own game lore and the book lore to make their direction with Ciri work. Ciri doing actual magic, a thing she gave up with a unicorn as witness in the Korath desert, does not lend itself well to the idea that the new writers aren't looking to use Ciri as a shell for a different character.
Yeah because witcher games were always accurate to the lore
I disagree I love fourth wing series ❤️🎄🌨️🌨️🎄❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚☃️🎁🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻❤️🎄🌨️💚💚💚☃️🎅🏻🎅🏻❤️💚💚🎄🎄❤️🎅🏻📖📙📙📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📙📖📖📙📙📖📙📙📙
It’s enough that they somehow managed to make great video games out of a bad fantasy series like The Witcher. To ask that they perform another miracle and make some good TV out of that dross is too much to ask
I don't agree, Ghost of Tsushima doesn't have Fantastic writing, not even close. The reason why the main protagonist and his uncle become enemies is just very very silly, no one in the world would follow tradition to the extent that Mr uncle was willing to lose all his army because it was tradition to build a bridge while the enemy fired arrows at them. Also is not historically accurate, so there is no excuse for such bad writing.
Ciri's story was done. They should have either gone the Shepard route with a new named but customisable character or the Fallout/Skyrim route where you are fully in control. You can't compete with Geralt...
Ciri is just more mechanisable, tho how long that will last I don't know, as I do not think she has the personality to carry a new game/trilogy
