[topic: opinions on Wings of Fire]
[1] the writing isn't that bad but it still sometimes feels too much like a children's book
[2] except when it absolutely doesn't
[1] yeah there can be some pretty violent parts
[1] the plot is quite cheesy sometimes though
[1] I'll admit I did cry a bit at the ending of the 3rd arc [an arc refers to each set of 5 books]
[1] but the endings where "everything's suddenly perfect now" feel a bit too...
[1] optimistic
[1] I mean come on, they're dragons, they are pretty clearly evolved to be an apex predator
[1] there's also the whole issue of how the hell the ecosystem is able to support that many apex predators when they aren't even farming/ranching
[2] yeah but despite all of that we are desperately waiting for the next one
[2] I know there's plenty about the community that we don't really vibe with
[2] but that's just kind of inevitable with any community
[2] I just need to totally obsess over dragons again
[2] I don't even care if I start shipping them, it'd be fun whatever I do
[2] hehhhh.... ):
[1] yeah
[1] Animus magic though
[1] decent for plot but it makes no sense that nobody's completely ruined the world with it
[2] wasn't that the whole 2nd arc though?
[1] yeah, but as far as we can tell the only limitation is that it makes you corrupted with power
[1] there doesn't seem to be any actual limitation to what you can do with it besides not being able to revive the dead
[2] dragon brain rot tho
[1] yes
