Don’t mind me, I’m just patiently waiting for the top 10 sci-if fantasy 2022 edition. Where is One Piece Daniel, WHERE IS IT.

[@Staticaster]

The whole "book reviews actually hurt my channel" bit made me really sad, the book reviews are why I subscribed here in the first place. I've picked up several new favorites based on your recommendation. Would it be worth making maybe a second (or third I guess lol) channel just for book reviews or something? Even if it's lower production value than the main channel I just like hearing about new books.

[@mikeprince6685]

Absolutely, came to this channel years ago for books and reviews and I do miss them, obviously I’m still here so I’m still a fan but wish the book reviews would come back lol

[@kameronbelcher]

I would love this, when I come to the channel I feel like I'm scrolling down looking for book stuff, I wouldn't mind a lower effort second channel when you just sit down and talk about a book!

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Sad. Rather than focusing on the things that KZbinrs originally started their channel for, and built an audience, the KZbin algorithms force them to just chase the views. I honestly can get movie and tv reviews at a million other channels that have been around forever. It was nice to get good book reviews and discussion that I couldn't get anywhere else. I guess if it brings in the views, you just gotta do whatever you're going to do.

[@Edramon53]

There's millions of channels talking about film & tv shows, and plenty for anime & manga... books are still underrepresented. I don't mind the channel diversifying but hope books can remain a core.

[@gabvsd5934]

Daniel still have a goodreads account where he rates books. So we still have that I think :)

[@cameronqueen8202]

Daniel - "It's a novella, you can get through it in an afternoon." Me - "You under estimate just how slow I can read."

[@ducky36F]

Thing that bugs me is that in Australia at least they are only available on hardcover and thus more expensive, to the tune of double the price in some cases, than full sized books and only one third of the size.

[@tanvirahmad5893]

I was gonna comment that, I would need a loooooooooooong afternoon in the arctics to finish a book like that.

[@docmnc8010]

I don't really think of Arcane as a game adaptation. To me they took the world of LoL and built an awesome story within that. One I enjoyed massively without having ever played the game

[@chriscolombie4135]

Yes and no the character dynamics and what they are in the futur like echo , Viktor, vi, powder/jinx has its roots highly deep inside the game even a glimpse of powder traumatic childhood and they manage to add more to them and the execution was stellar

[@rhuntern]

@@chriscolombie4135 But at the same time, the game itself isn't about those stories. The lore is just flavor for the characters. So it's not really a game adaptation, but a lore adaptation. Which is a weird, possibly pedantry, difference, but I think it matters. A League of Legends game adaptation would be a show about Summoner's Rift. At least that's how I see it.

[@IntrusiveThot420]

The biggest downside of Arcane is that it will get more people into League 😂

Why not just continue to do book reviews on a specific day? The algorithm may not like them, but a lot of your viewers do. Even if we don’t watch them immediately, if we read the book we come back to it.

[@elenasreadingcorner]

He’s not doing this for us, he’s doing it for money (it’s his job) and happy algorithm means more money. It is what it is, it’s his channel to do what he wants with it. But trust me, there are many booktubers out there with awesome reviews that I have discovered precisely because Daniel wasn’t putting them out anymore so it turned out to be great in the end!

[@gwenheppinstall3128]

@@elenasreadingcorner could you please give me some recommendations for booktubers? I follow some but most of them don't post about scifi fantasy

[@elenasreadingcorner]

@@gwenheppinstall3128 Sure! I am not only interested in fantasy and I'm not too big on sci-fi, but a couple of youtubers I enjoy that talk about them are Elliot Brooks, BooksWithEmilyFox (she reviews all kinds of books but reads at least two fantasy/sci-fi a month), Christy Ann Jones (different genres and also does vlogs - her positive energy is amazing), Peruse Project, Library of a Viking is new in the game and he relies solely on fantasy, and I also really enjoy Morgan Long (more whimsical and middle grade fantasy) and Cari can read (loads of YA and fantasy)

[@trainconductorlenin1616]

As someone who really enjoys your book reviews I would love to see them make a comeback. Perhaps even a second channel specifically just for those kinds of videos. Though I understand why you would want to branch out into other media (which i enjoy as well, especially your manga and anime stuff).

[@whitney2548]

Notice how Wheel of Time didn't even make honorable mentions.

[@rhodie9338]

I was worried when I saw that, because I thought that might put it in the top 10. You know ya fucked up when you make WoT content that the OG WoT channel doesn't like.

[@fredericbarbe]

Oh man, I miss your book only top 10s 😔 You helped discover so many great authors!

[@LastMinuteGuess]

I always prefer "Best of" awards or videos to release in February or March because it gives some time for the new year to set in and we can look more objectively on the previous year.

[@AudrenDev]

Underrated series that came out last year, Superman and Lois is a family drama that explores the difficulties of raising children whilst being the most powerful creature on the world, the responsabilities of parenthood, education, duty, communication and love.

[@Staticaster]

Superman and Lois is great! Love that show. Tyler Hoechlin is the best live-action Superman we've ever had, by a long shot.

[@mrpink1133]

I just watched all of Arcane this week and my god it's so good. My love for tragedy knows no bounds

[@artloveranimation]

For real though, I think I have a problem because I also love music with minor chords thrown in and Arcane's music is CHILLING

[@magnummiracles2612]

Sad to hear that book reviews are hurting you. Especially since you got me back into reading last year with all your hype in First Law related videos. I originally was reading grimdark for a homebrew DnD campaign, but after making my way through First Law it became more a joyous part of my day instead of homework for my DnD campaign. I have since read Kings of the Wyald, a book into the First Law stand alone stories, and had my brother buy me the Age of Madness trilogy for my birthday. I sincerely cannot thank you enough for your amazing efforts. I have spent an unhealthy amount of money on book this year, and it's all thanks to you. Sorry this is a little long, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been an integral part of getting me back into reading. Regardless if you decide to do more book reviews or not, I hope everything works out for you as your other content is also of quality.

[@S1leNtRIP]

I’m so sorry to hear about the algorithm not liking book reviews. I love them, and obviously like most people here, they were what brought me to the channel! You keep doing you boo! But I wouldn’t have gotten into the first law series without you!

[@crisnice1]

i love these videos. i get to see my favorites here and find stuff that got under my radar

[@rune4769]

I ended up watching Midnight Mass, Arcane, Green Knight, and reading the entire Murderbot series based on your recommendations. Also, the Jade series is bought and on my audible list to listen to. I keep meaning to start watching The Expanse but it just seems like such a commitment that I just never get around to it, sadly Funny story(s) about the Green Knight. I convinced my friend to go with me and he hated it while I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The women next to us was snoring halfway through and I think some folks got up and walked out at one point. About a month later I'm visiting a different friend, who is a church pastor, and he asked me what movies I'd seen lately. I immediately said "The Green Knight" and he just went off about how it didnt make any sense and it was stupid and he had no idea what any of it meant or what the message or metaphors were. I laughed at him and told him that its a christmas movie from Authorian legend that is inspired by the temptations, passions, death, and resurrection of Christ and how the hell did he, a church pastor, miss all of that? His wife then chimes in and says "Thats what I've been telling you!". She apparently loved it A24 still continues to be the best studio and this movie needed to be nominated for best picture

[@JohnnyValmaggia]

I'm enjoying the little snippets of media you are introducing into the videos. For how small they are, they add a lot.

[@hrbacon]

Wow, no Wheel of Time. I'm surprised, but it's understandable. If 2 years ago you told me I'd like a screen adaptation of League of Legends over Wheel of Time, no way.

[@cherylwhybrew1224]

I enjoy your videos. I read your book “Breach of Peace.” I read it in one day and couldn’t put it down. Loaned it to a friend and she did the same thing. I have your second book, “Rebel’s Creed.” Looking forward to it. Keep the books coming. Thank you!

[@Levi_Zacharias]

proud of you that you didnt even mention the WoT show XD

[@anthempt3edits]

Glad to see you include Shards of Earth. One of my favorite books from the last year.

[@mikeminderlein297]

I understand that you need to feed the algorithm but I really do enjoy your book reviews and tbh honest you have rekindled my appreciation for reading actual books. Heck I have even started to rebuild my library. Many of which were from your channel. As I have said before, I found an enjoyment in book hunting in the used book sections of the second hand stores.

[@michaellolel9008]

I didn’t even realize that this was a 2021 list, my trust in you is boundless Daniel

[@lukasa6374]

Would be nice if you split it up between books and the rest so books still have a dedicated section on the channel :)

[@melissasullivan1658]

I’m only halfway through and you’ve listed four things that I hadn’t even heard existed/were released. Sorry about the algo-loss, but I’m now a huge fan of your list premiering in April when we aren’t overwhelmed by all the other lists!

[@JamesRansonTMW]

I'm really sad to hear that book reviews hurt you in the algorithm. I started watching you specifically because of the amazing book reviews, and I've been missing them a lot lately...which means I'm just not watching you nearly as much anymore. I know I'm only one viewer, but I would gladly fight the algorithm to get more book reviews from you.

[@calebdrew5684]

I disagree on a couple of points, but this is one of best videos you've had. Love it.

[@JoffJk]

The 3 part release schedule for Arcane was genius as well. A format that I would love to be more wide spread.

[@fionarahl9399]

Arcane absolutely deserves the praise it got, damn that show was fantastic in every way. I just finished the tv show of the Expanse and am more than curious to dive into the books now. I only read book 1 of the Jade Legacy series so far. While I liked it, my mind wasn't blown or anything. But I liked it enough to see where the story will go in book 2.

[@SherlockJon3s]

I really don't get the hype about the Jade series. I liked the first two well enough to finish the series, but Jade Legacy was such a drag. I had to skim through about 200 pages in the middle, I found it repetitive and borderline boring. Obviously tastes are different and it seems that I'm in the minority with this opinion :)

[@demonicgrub1025]

I liked the premise of the Jade series, and enjoyed a decent chunk of it, but I honestly find it has really bad pacing issues. Every time the story builds up momentum, the author cuts and goes somewhere else, breaking the flow of the story.

[@krennorec8861]

The Expanse books are more than worth it!

[@myself2noone]

Look as someone who misery porn doesn't work on Arcane was just OK. Like I get it you feel sympathy for all these people, and turns out they're all kind of awful. Conflating emotions abound, but really the show was as much porn as anything on Xvideos. It's fine, but it's hardly one of Sam's "stories that really matter."

[@tagg1080]

The expanse up until the scene where everyone meets up at the hotel is absolutely some of the best story telling I have ever seen. I feel like the show after that wasn't nearly as good.

[@KP-hc7ug]

I love everything on this list that I've seen/read. Jade Legacy was my favorite read of 2021 as well. Just wanted to shout out a few great scifi/fantasy anime from 2021 that may have fell under the radar for some. Ranking of Kings was my favorite standalone show of last year. It started in 2021 and ended in 2022 so not sure if it would count for this list, but please give it a chance if you have the time. Some others I'd recommend are To Your Eternity and Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song. Love the channel and keep making great videos!

[@thomashart8312]

I second vivy and to your eternity, both have not so human mc that is actually very human like murderbot. Good action with emotional weight

Would you ever in a million years have guessed around 2018 when your channel was starting up, and the big premise was that you were a fan of the wheel of time and the upcoming Amazon adaption was going to be your GOT, that on the year of its release it would not even get a mention in the best of? Not blaming you, I don't think it deserves a place, but it shows you how much times change and our perceptions with it.

[@Staticaster]

I mean mainly I think it just shows how shit that adaptation was, lol

[@hunterghobadi1269]

Yeah, there was a point when the show was going to be the future of his channel. WOT was going to do for fans what GOT did and add hundreds of thousands of new subscribers and now it has been memory holed.

Arcane has a surprising amount of depth. I didn't really catch it myself until another youtuber's videos showed up in my feed where they just constantly pulled depth out of characters, symbolism, plot that I didn't catch in my viewing. The writers did a phenomenal job of giving every character meaning and backstory without slapping you in the face with it. It's really easy to miss how much care was put into the story and characters. Just look at how well the writers avoided the negative weak/strong women tropes.

[@myself2noone]

I add Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori, Jujutsu Kaisen, World Trigger, Dr. Stone, SK8, Fruits Basket, Zombieland Saga, Mashiro no Oto, Vanitas no Karte, Kageki Shoujo, Shiroi Suna no Aquatope and Heike Monogatari. I added sequels as well. Indeed, 2021 was GOATED for anime. Talking about the best Fantasy & Sci-fi series of 2021, Arcane is excellent, but honestly, it just doesn't reach the level of Mushoku Tensei, 86 and Ousama Ranking *imo.* If it was in 2020, the only competitors would have been the first season of Dorohedoro and Akudama Drive, in that case I would have put Arcane as the winner.

[@rabidspatula1013]

Watched Arcane based on your recommend. Fantastic show!

[@Major98]

I loved these picks. I'd probably rearrange a few though. Ones I haven't seen or read are getting added to my list. Invincible was so good. Amazon is carving their own identity with comicbook shows like The Boys and Invincible. I just wish we didn't have to wait so long for the second season. Midnight Mass was one of the best series to come from Netflix. The Green Knight flew under the radar, I got it as soon as it became available because a A24 fantasy epic is what I need in my life. It was epic in scale, slow and steady in pace, the main actor deserves a lot of credit. The gloomy and oddly uplifting world was the most intriguing part. I need to read the Expanse books, the series on Amazon was fantastic and just got better each season. It might be the best modern sci-fi show of the past few years. Dune is self explanatory, Dune is godly, Dune is spicy. It's probably my best movie of last year. I still need to read Abercrombie. All these rants DG does about how great his work is is finally getting through. I think I need to hear a few more rants to really know for sure

[@fatchildcookie]

Listening to Daniel talking about the Jade series the only thing I thought was "Yep, Daniel adores the Yorknew City Arc, he should probably watch/read HxH" - dunno if he actually did, but I saw Merphy is doing it, so he probably atleast heard about it

[@lodiac]

As a league of legends ex-player ( 3 years ago) I could tell you that the story of Arcane is actually from the game's Lore many of those relationships and events we knew about through vocal interactions between the characters in the game or by reading the Lore. Also the world is so big that the characters shown there aren't even 10% of the total (+130 main playable characters each with their own lore and story)

But.. I am sad that I have to look for an other booktuber.. I really value your opinion on books (even though I know there are many good booktubers out there) 😔 I have read many of the comments and some have suggested two channels where one continues with book reviews.. Not sure if that is a possibility for you (I know you have a tight schedule).. but it would be a shame to lose the contend you started out with and that so many people enjoy.

Thank you for showing me that you can be dyslexic and love reading. I personaly don’t like reading as it gives me headaches but i like the fact that you show me that I could if I wanted to. One litle question, do you use overlays or did you when u were yunger? I use yellow lol. Anyway thanks for that rant video btw, I rlly asociated (that’s not the wright word but the word isn’t coming to me) with the things you said in that video so thank you. Oh and I turned of spellcheck like u said

Hoping Daniel reads and reviews more Alastair Reynolds books. House of Suns, Chasm City or Revelation Space. He’s such a phenomenal Sci Fi Author!

I'm still waiting on the Wheel of Time readalong D: Even if most people don't read as fast as you, at least those that do don't have to wait to get to them, and those that don't can always come back at a later date. I don't see the drawbacks in releasing them sooner

You like Arthurian legend, you say? Might I suggest to you Nathan A Thompson's Challenger's Call series? Book 8 is out and the first three books are available in audible format with two narrators, Jessica Threet and Christopher Boucher. They do an awesome job, especially Threet when voicing Breena. She's hilarious!

Maybe do a handful of 3-5 minute book reviews in a 20 minute video? I’d like to see some book reviews from you.

[@brycemattson4913]

Well damn. I heard people talking about Arcane, but I didn’t realize people were THAT high on it. I’ll have to watch it

[@rickeydeyoung9096]

Gotta disagree on themes of arcane, they are as deep or deeper then a lot of full length novels I have read. Great list, keep doin what you do because I love it.

came here to say thanks for the recommendation., midnight mass is golden., ;)

I'm curious if you have considered including video games in this kind of video? Nothing in 2021 seems super suited to it but there have definitely been releases that have had wonderful world building and narratives in the past.
