I love the Kinoko Nasu approach were the more there is explained,the less you actually end up knowing and the death of Mystery is actually one of the main principles of the world. Also Monster Musume is actually fun to read unlike acotar.
Ah, Korra. Such an amazing story and world ruined. Like many of the franchises and series that have been ruined today I choose to say it's all not canon.
@@talexratcliffe Idk, I felt they moved forward in time technologically too much personally. I would have loved to have seen more of the original and creative bending specific architecture. But yeah, it is a shame.
A good example of a romantacy that gets the supernatural right is, I find, The Ancient Magus' Bride. The fae are tied to existing mythology and symbolism, but it's rarely exposited at the audience to maintain that feeling of things possibly going from warm and cuddly to 'oh crud' at the drop of a hat. Magic relies on the whims of whatever spirits help facilitate it, and even the more scientific sorcerers can be involved in their own mysterious plots no less inhuman than the fae.
I once read a Lovecraftian horror story, a visual novel + management sim game actually. The story is barely acceptable. Until a certain point, the mood is completely killed. The protagonist and his companions travel to a deserted and haunted village. When they stay in a empty and long- abandoned hotel. At this moment, someone says: "Since we are going to stay, we should pay." Then the protagonist uses his smart phone to make a QR code payment. And it works, in a Lovecraftian horror story. By the way, that place doesn't have electricity, internet even any wireless signal. But the transfer is still 'completed.' It is really an unimaginable way to kill the mood and narrating. The writers probably didn't notice that they destroyed the most important of Lovecraftian horror, the fear of unknown. They used science and technology in such awful way an eldritch horror situation, there is simply no logic in the story.
I don't know, I'm pretty scared. A horrid hotel with no amenities and staff, able to still take money out of my account. It sounds like what every corporation is going for right now.
Agh... my plan to gather and send you a bunch of random monster romance/erotica books for creating funny reviews foiled! Anyway... I think there exist at least a couple of supernatural monsters that are scary because people know what they are.

I agree

It's sad, the ideas they started with had some potential.

I've heard good things about Ancient Magus's bride. I'd love to have more time to dive into all these series.
