100% agreed. Mistborn is my least favorite cosmere series. For me, it is because I really liked the final empire, but the subsequent books (era 1) just got worse as it progressed to me. I almost DNF’d Hero of Ages, I gust about a third of the way in and jumped to stormlight to see if I just didn’t like him as an author. Found out it was just mistborn I didn’t like. I did go back and re-read the era and had the exact same feelings, but I suffered through to the end. And from a lot of people I see who liked, era 1, they say it’s much better than era 2 so I haven’t felt a need to pick up era 2 just yet.

Looking back I’ve always been drawn to fantasy, but since finding you and the other world hoppers I feel like I’ve developed a more complex understanding of the genre. The one thing I used to think about fantasy in general that makes me cringe a bit now: “ fantasy is all the same-it’s stagnant.” Ouch-- i hate to even type that in your comments section, lest I invite the wrath of the channel. I had a very basic idea of fantasy in general -the kind of basic idea that outsiders to the genre often have-because I hadn’t given myself a chance to see the nuances yet. I can assure you I’m over that now . I still have so much more to read ( because each of these books is like 600-800 pages, and I’m not the fastest reader out there) but I do feel like I’m “educating” myself on the nuances of the genre, and my appreciation for it is maturing. Your channel is a big part of that, so thank you-you’re making me a better book nerd, and by extension a better writer, and I deeply appreciate that .

Yeah the first part of Berserk(Blackswordsman Arc) which you reviewed is actually in the future.

Golden Age is basically the backstory for the Guts you are reading in the first volume. Golden Age has some of the best character development and exploration of themes I've every read in any medium. It will make you understand why he is such an edgelord in the first volume. Was excited to see you picked it up tho.

The first video I ever saw of yours was the Anomander vs Geralt one, and I was like "Geralt gets his ass beat by Vilgefortz, how the hell is he beating Rake?"

[@t.hussain921]

Unfair to compare a character who appears in very few scenes of 3 books with a character who has 8 something books that focus mostly on him.

[@christopherbaker8595]

Hussain T I mean you can still compare them but regardless Anomander outclasses Vilge and Geralt

[@t.hussain921]

@@christopherbaker8595 Unless you think Caladan Brood and Will Parry is a fair comparison, I stand firm.

[@christopherbaker8595]

Hussain T hell yes why wouldn’t it be? As per original post youre only comparing power levels, it’s not that deep

[@fenixchief7]

@@t.hussain921 youd have a point if you were talking about character development but as it is you're standing firm in quicksand

[@BigItalian7]

Please consider reading The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson. Wonderfully dark, beautifully written and feeling like an ancient Norse tale while it actually came out the same year as The Fellowship of the Ring. A true forgotten classic.

[@NeverGiveUpExisting]

This is why I follow you, I knew I could count on you to correct the misjustice that you did Berserk because...honestly, it's a masterpiece. It deserves better XD Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

[@halokiller031]

Hyped to see your berserk review :)

[@fatalblue]

Good move to reevaluate the way you approach reviewing manga! I haven't read Berserk personally but as longtime manga reader I am so curious to see how you approach your second go at reviewing the story as someone still fairly new to the medium. There are so MANY good stories to be found in manga that easily rival what you find in novels BUT it is still a bit of a different beast so I imagine there might be some level of adjusment needed when reading and review sequential lit if you're more accustom to consuming purely written lit (nevermind lit sequential or otherwise that non-western in origin). Regardless of how much you like Berserk in the end or not I do hope it's encourage you to explore the medium a bit more and maybe on occassion if you come accross something you really like make a video!

[@mastermonkey44]

hey... i know it's not quite connected to the video... have you ever talked about "realm of the elderlings" by robin hob? tnx for the great content!

[@1siddynickhead]

Just out of curiosity, ASOIAF is just what I want to read on a Sunday afternoon... any recommendations on other series that may fill that gap now that i've finished reading the published books?

[@theghostofterrygoodkind2835]

I look forward to your SWORD OF TRUTH mea culpa, if you have the guts for it, Daniel Greene.

[@ATATChat]

Dude, I love basically everything you upload. You're super funny. Great stuff. Got me into reading King big time!

[@lamarepository248]

I appreciate how you distance yourself from your mistakes by describing “past Daniel” as a different person

[@alonera2737]

I'm so happy you're giving berserk a chance!!! since I really love your taste in books! actually everything you recommend i end up loving!

[@icarusfluffybottom899]

I like how I searched the channel and didn't find any updated Berserk thoughts, so I came back to this video to check comments (sorting by New), and it's basically ALL people asking where the Berserk review is at :p

[@AustinDame]

Are you going to finish doing reviews of each of the wheel of time books? I’m on seven currently and would be great to have you talk about it like you had with the earlier ones

[@MetalCharlo]

Daniel is basically a fantasy protagonist who evolves with every new book

[@am3703]

Credit to you man, not easy owning up to mistakes, I hope you enjoy reading the golden age arc

[@jerimiahjohnson4272]

Gotta say I'm super excited to see you review Berserk again, its one of my favorite stories of all time not just in manga. But I also understand its not for everyone. I think you will really like it up until the end of the Golden Age arc though Lost Children is still one of my personal favorite storylines.

[@fearzilla9681]

As a big berserk fan. I'm glad you are giving it another shot. It's one of if not my favorite fantasies of all time. I admit it's not for everyone. Please enjoy and keep up the great work

[@kengillespie7797]

So glad you're going to keep reading Berserk! I kinda felt the same as Daniel after the first volume of the manga, but now I'm finishing up the Guardians of Desire arc and I'm definitely hooked. Can't wait to get to the Golden Age arc, everyone keeps saying it's amazing. I believe the hype.

[@MissMokate]

I don't know if anybody commented on this so far, but I find it very funny every time you do the reversed peace sign since it's supposed to be the british equivalent of flipping the bird

[@JJJKKK445]

I absolutely love your videos and they kind of really helped me get back into reading (after a long break), a lot of that is because I have the exact same comments and feelings about a lot of the books you review, which is awesome. Kudos and keep at it! Also, side question... where did you get that wheel of time edition? I swear I can't find it anywhere.

[@hiroshihull8826]

That Anomander Rake one made me laugh out loud. I hadn't seen that video, so that came completely out of left field. New here, love your videos.

[@t.hussain921]

Just curious, have you read Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic? It can easily rival any fantasy book out there.

[@user-cv7ny3ew9i]

BRO I haven't watched your channel in a year and I came back to find you've become a manga stan 🥲

[@zebcrews7612]

Dang, now I can look forward to you talking about Berserk! Also if that's 1Q84 I spotted in the back then you're in for quite a treat in my opinion at least.

[@robbobstone]

The Golden Age Arc surprised me with one of the deepest experience I had while reading manga and also a lot of books a I have read.

[@laurynas1988]

What is the name of ending's music/melody?

[@brendendonnelly2056]

So glad you’re giving manga another shot, it definitely has its own vibe, maybe after Berserk you could check out Dorohedoro?
