I’ve recently gotten into reading. I realised how much I love fiction, and a couple of tropes. So I’m here asking maybe some of you know any books that have them.
I love it when the story focuses more on world building rather than character. The theory crafting I can do in my head, or just before I sleep, is priceless.
Here I’ll contradict myself by saying a character development related point, but the more important one. I’d like to read more works that show some mysterious big-bad first as a rivalry, later as a friend. They soften up with the MC and we they become friends or allies or whatever. We get to see a BBEG of sorts’s friendly and weak side. I get that it’s a bit childish, but I lost my mind of how cool of a character they made the first time I read it. Now, it was in a manga, so I’d love to read an example that made this best or first.
Thank you in advance, even if you just name some genres or authors.
Holy shit. I just looked up what you’re talking about. I didnt even read those. Those are some random side stories. Start with Gideon The Ninth. Excuse me while I read Doctor Sex now :D
PPS, Dr Sex sounds much more scandalous than it is. Its actually Dr Sextus and I dont think he’s ever called Dr Sex in the mainstream books iirc. But Muir is the Mother of Memes so I won’t say it’s beneath her to call him that.
Alright, will do. I have already started Mortal Engines, but this is def 2nd, the covers and titles are way too cool and edgy for me not too read it while im still a teen. Ods are that you’ll finish this sooner than I’ll finish a quartet so if you remember I’d love to hear an updated “what to start with” or if these extra stories are any good.
Thanks for recommending them tho.
