Has It Gotten Better Or Worse Over Time

Some series age like a fine wine. Some series age like milk. Most have stayed around the same. Let's go over them, so you can disagree with me in the comments, or tell me that I missed up recording and for the last 5 minutes you can't see the book to the far right. It's Master of Djinn BTW, that is the book you can't see.

Thanks to your recommendation, I started The Black Company books a year and a half ago. I am now finally on Soldiers Live. It's a bittersweet feeling to reach the end of the journey with Croaker and the gang. Definitely one of my favorite series.

Let's go!

This tier list idea is insane and I love it-I’d have such a hard time putting stuff I liked less above stuff I loved so much more. Would agree on a lot of our series overlaps I think

[@jakebishop7822]

Sometimes I almost veer into doing sane things, but fortunately I avoided it with this

[@helgestrm9670]

Great to see you active again! You made me binge GGK last year. Forever thankful :)

[@jakebishop7822]

I am still binging GGK lol, I got done reading them all doing 1 per month, and can't stop rereading them. Glad you enjoyed them as well

[@mikesbookreviews]

Really interesting topic. I know I have a few where the arrow is pointing up vs when I first read it and many with that arrow pointing down in hindsight.

[@jakebishop7822]

Feel free to copy the idea any time, I'd be interested to see that video

Jake, so far Liveship slaps. My only experience with Ready Player One was reading the MC babble on and on about Star Trek (read like Cline wrote the wiki synopsis in his own words) and i read some Cline's poetry and it was a war crime against the art form.

Tier-listed stock rankings! Hah - I love it!

I actually ended doing a combo reread/finish of Lorien Legacies early this year after catching up with Dresden and The Cosmere late last year. Lorien ended up being an unintentional DNF in that I was caught up with the Series at the release of the 4th book of 7 titled The Fall of Five but I lost track of the Series for a good number of years. Early this year I noticed that not only had Legacies finished but that 3 books into a Sequel Series had released so I was pretty excited. I ended up DNF’ing the Sequel Series during book 1 because none of the characters even came close to the characters from the Original Series but I did finish the Original Series and let me tell you I loved it even more than when I was reading them in publication. Great premise, flawed and fleshed out characters, cool Magic System, great Ending I loved everything about it.

[@jakebishop7822]

So what your saying is in regards to Lorien "Perhaps I treated you too harshly" In fairness I still consider them clearly better than Divergent, The 5th Wave, and The Darkest Minds, but also I liked them more originally, and think Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games held up quite a bit better. The premise was awesome though

[@mtverv]

@@jakebishop7822 yea I just wanted to say something about Lorien specifically because it’s not a big Booktube darling even with some of the more YA focused Booktubers I’ve seen. I was just happy someone else had read it and enjoyed it lol

[@esmayrosalyne]

Such a fun video concept!! I think a lot of series would tank real hard for me though, I am always on such an emotional high after finishing series and then I slowly sour over time lol. Except for RotE, I have only come to love that more and the urge to reread is trying to break me every single day hahaha.

[@jakebishop7822]

Do not resist

[@esmayrosalyne]

@@jakebishop7822aye sir

[@thatsci-firogue]

I'll continue Sun Eater if you continue Long Price Quartet

[@thatsci-firogue]

I'm a third of the way through Wall of Storms, I can see this becoming a Top 10 series for me.

[@jakebishop7822]

And you haven't even gotten to the crazy stuff, or the completely singularly genius stuff yet

[@readbykyle3082]

I remember trying to convince you to read WoS, so I take credit for this

[@thatsci-firogue]

@@readbykyle3082 I owe you my undying allegiance.

[@thatsci-firogue]

@@readbykyle3082 it was so good!!!

[@supersonik5644]

first minute made me sooooooooo hungry

stay safe

My dude, look into the camera, just look a little higher where the camera is

[@jakebishop7822]

This is good feedback that unfortunately I will likely fail to follow on videos where I am using the tier list UI, because I am going to look at the screen I am interacting with, and my webcam sits on top of that monitor

[@thatsci-firogue]

The parts I already disliked about Morning Star (Red Rising 3) I hated on re-read. Its a good series but seriously overhyped.

[@jakebishop7822]

Hmmmmm "overhyped" , well at least it's not overrated

[@thatsci-firogue]

​@@jakebishop7822well, you and I share very similar thoughts on "overrated"

[@robertpatenaude]

Weird way to rank things? But interesting. Be well, stay safe.

[@jakebishop7822]

Not really ranking things I guess, just using the tier list because it is the easiest way, I have of organizing it. Thanks
