Wow
Isn't that right
That slow release nearly killed me
For those of you unaware, we expected to be reading ISSTH around the 7th
Then he went down to one chapter a day and made us wait practically a week more
Of course, that meant time kill for the rest of the time
We read series here and there
A few off of our read later category
I believe Continue Online we couldn't because it got a amazon deal
No problems with that but we do not own a credit card for the book and if we dropped it then we were stuck with a book we didn't want
Reasons I like the library better
Speaking of dropped books
Don't know if you say dropped, I'd say boring
Spectral Regalia...
At least we finished book one, just got hit with even more fluff at the beginning of book two
Arrayist was good though
It was. Kudos to the author because I'm keeping my eye on it now
If only Forgotten Conqueror got a chapter
Dunno because the last one was so confusing and this whole book has been feeling like a letdown
We had pegged 48 chapters be the limit like book one and said the same for Naruto
48 chapters keeps it condensed and to be fair, shippuden could have gone with 220 episodes with a third series being used for the final arc and still got 220 episodes for that too
There is something that speaks to use about a consistent limit that says this part of the heroes journey will not end until this point but also works as a countdown
Just imagine knowing that in a couple more chapters something will happen that creates a gap that allows characters to grow
Ahem, back to the stories
Okay, though there really is only a few updates that I remember
If we forgot any they were likely dropped
Tried a series called Terror Infinity
Despite our dislike of horror movies
It began good and continued for a bit
Then came Resident Evil:Apocalypse
To be fair it did begin fairly well but there was something screaming don't be gantz
While we did like what happened in Gantz after their team wipe
We did not apreciate how overboard this one was
Blame the continuous theme of rape being used
While I do have to admit that it is a real thing, it is also a pretty serious thing at least to my mind
The story had gradually used this theme to approach our boundary of what we could handle
The one girl had her love story using it as a scar but scars can heal
Then came clone mc and that made it seem sad and logical he went crazy
But it also used it in a prejudice situation of two different races which was uncomfortable
And went hardcore when out of nowhere the rest of the team was wiped and All of the girls got abused
Even the movie characters! I mean, throughout the series the movie characters were the ones who I felt a connection to because they had no choice to be movie characters but they were practically the same as any other characters
Some we even wanted to be used more so that we would look forward to seeing them again
The mummy was a healer because while I was still burning from Apocalypse...
Wait, there was something we forgot
Oh yeah, the fact that if there was no team Devil then the characters in Apocalypse would be active allies like the mummy characters and could help them through the rest of the series
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
But everyone of them is dead, and I doubt there was a survivor since from the title of volume 15 shown
It will be the first one because reset the team level and the characters used died
So the mummy needed to heal a lot of wounds
It was fun but there kept a sense of melencholy
Great, Xuan returned!
Then some more underused characters returned
Then we had what was supposed to be our favorite movie around the corner
Jurassic Park! We used to watch it until whatever form it was in burned out
Then came the f@#% me part
The Lost World? No!
Even worse..
It didn't even happen during the movie, it happened after!
And it wasn't going to be dinosaurs they fought
Bugs, why
Side-quest needed for plot
I would flip the table if it wasn't the thing keeping us from being the other
A few chapters in we quit and put it on the bookshelf
We then tried SOTR
Bad timing
Forgot it was invasion living
Which means no happy moments just tension in the air
Anytime the main character did something it was always
There is more to come
Maybe if it openly tried the romance plot but
This mc and the love interest do not have the time or freedom for love, yuck
I still don't know how I feel about this one returning to the front lines of love interests
There is that one girl who is probably pregnant but where could she be after all of this time
Even if she did show up, she would be a weakness that weighs him down so while she did need to leave to let the mc soar through the skies
She will show up at some point seeing as she has his kid
Speaking of which, how old will the mc and his kid be right now around chapter 700 because they might have to meet when the kid is old enough for the similarities to be apparent
Sad thing is that this is a early version of the Chu Yuechan incident from ATG as even now we have no idea where she and the kid are
While SOTR is finished in machine translation so it just depends on how far we read
So after stopping in the story we hit youtube
Nostalgia Critic seems fun
There is also this song we are trying to wear out of our brains by playing it on repeat over and over again
Not yet
As luck would have it, if ISSTH takes a chapter a day we should still only catch up as it finishes the final chapters of the book
As well as our usual plus one
Because the books always end on a high note so we check the next chapter for the aftermath which ends well
So we are at the earlys of 640 and I love how many call backs the book is giving so far
And hope for more to come
Will return to reading now, but one last thing
The new anthology
No stories yet people
Just be aware
It's Super-heroes and Super powers: A FightReady Anthology
For super-hero lovers
Try and follow that if it piques your interests
Now then
Fare thee well
