“Video has decent chemistry between its protagonists I guess but their mismatched height made me uncomfortable. Male leads exposed kneecaps were very distracting, and how much water does he need to drink in one video?! Or maybe he needed something stronger in that way too blue water bottle to deal with female leads constant needy and obvious attempts to wheedle clues out of him. Trash taste in books goes without saying, will be unsubscribing immediately after the follow up apology video. Waiting patiently” Seriously tho, we need Corey in more videos, he seems incapable of letting Merphy take herself too seriously and it’s a great dynamic.

[@youtubeviolatedme7123]

dude when he started hamboning at 12:17 I died

[@789blablajaja7]

It was so funny how Merphy misinterpreted EVERYTHING he said. Sometimes to a degree that was bewildering. Must be a tough life for him to endure this on a daily basis, lol.

I know who Misaki is." She thinks that she would just be able to guess it correctly then. 10:56 "So I dont know if it was trying to be literal with the word quirk." -"Or if it means that all the characters are quirky" < - Well that came totally out of the leftfield. -"Or if it just means that it does this thing." - He means overusing a word till it doesnt sound like a word anymore, just not with the word quirky. Merphy: "Okay, a book that I know, that you know [...] that is super quirky" Uhhhhm what Merphy? :D

[@andrewwall4250]

A Merphy 1 star review would most likely just end up being: “Misused/Overused/Used the word undulating.”

[@groofay]

I've been taking note every time I've seen "undulate" in a novel lately, and it's disturbing how often it actually is used.

[@joshuadavidson3689]

I actually held a toy dinosaur yesterday with a spine that could move back and forth like undulate. Made me think of Merphy.

[@britneynicole8903]

Oh my word 😂. Actually that word makes me very uncomfortable. What does it even mean?!

[@britneynicole8903]

I do not think I have ever come across that word in a book…😮🤔

[@clementdenis4212]

Merphy has been guessing "rage of dragons" on like every review this far.

And it was never correct 😂

True!! I love episodes with Korey

[@Colaman112]

It seems like some people think every book that doesn't have explicit sex or graphic violence is YA.

[@merphynapier42]

A lot of times it’s cause the mc starts off young

[@Colaman112]

@@merphynapier42 Yeah, that's definitely a factor as well.

[@LenaWolschaap]

Meanwhile YA often has explicit sex and graphic violence these days

[@Colaman112]

@@LenaWolschaap I think lot of the stuff that gets marketed as YA is nowadays actually meant for adults that are young (like 18-25yo) instead of teenagers. The marketing for the "genre" is a mess.

[@britneynicole8903]

There are some YA books I have read recently where I am trying to rationalize to myself why in the world it is even marketed as YA.

[@kevincorrales12]

Casually wearing Trafalgar's jacket. Absolutely love it!

[@roseelio]

I remember that review about Kafka on the shore !! that girl was so mad that the main character was only drinking milk ("take a sip of water for a change you weirdo") it was indeed really funny

[@marshwiggle8364]

The moment I saw Korey I was thrilled. I love how competitive she gets. What a wonderful way to kickoff a Friday!!!!

[@ahobbyist9520]

She?

[@pintpullinggeek]

I was super convinced the "teenage boy is a sword wielding prodigy" was going to be "Eye of the World". Guess that's why they call the tropes 😂

[@AvatarYoda]

I thought it described Eragon pretty well.

[@Zivilin]

I thought of that first too but WoT is not ya. I ended up not really knowing what other book it could be.

[@morganecachia6501]

Only one ⭐️ for this video 😡😡😡 I though this was gonna be good, the premise was great but the execution LACKS. COREY SHOULD SING ALL THE TIME !!! WHY DOES HE ONLY SINGS WHEN SAYING « NO »? I don’t get it. 1 star.

“NEGATIVE 849,603,972,728,690 STARS! This video bored me to sleep, and when I woke up they were STILL TALKING. Gah, how long does it take to guess titles of a book you loved?! And gosh, the chemistry between the couple made me wanna BARF. They’re both wearing the same color too! What uninspired drivel! Never watching these videos again bc I’d rather get my appendix removed!” JUST KIDDING! I don’t mean any of what I just said. *Don’t block me*. This video was awesome! You guys are the best, and I love watching your videos! I watch them just for comfort while I’m supposed to be working lol. Keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll forever watch your videos.❤️ we need more Korey collaborations!

[@zofiabochenska1240]

The way Corey is trolling you with some little comments. Brilliant. My favourite one star review (possibly from your previous video?) is about LoTR. It says something along the lines of "they walked, and they walked some more".

[@Colaman112]

I think she used one of those when she did this challenge with Daniel.

[@s.k.1082]

I mean, yeah. Even the freaking trees walked in those books!

[@raquelmarcalsantos]

I think we can all agree we’ve missed seeing Corey here! This was a great super fun video! hahaha

[@mydumbopinion3965]

12:19 I’m just obsessed with how catchy that was 😂 Korey legit has rythme

[@remyatempest6700]

The Sword of Kaigen is such a great book! Seriously loved it! And it's obvious that the reviewer loved the book to despite thier rant lol. The novel made them feel and connect with the world and characters so strongly that they reacted in such a way. 🤔 isnt that the point? To feel? Just because you don't like the feeling doesn't mean the write didn't do their job.

[@neckpunch73]

Nailed it. I hated the book because it hurt me, which also why it's one of my favourite books.

[@Ray_Kaminari]

That law hoddie is drip! 🔥

[@thecraziestcrayon]

1 star: enjoyable chemistry between leads, but one of the protagonists broke out in a drum solo halfway through. I spent too much time trying to decipher the sick beats, took me out of the video. You two are so sweet together, like booktube mom and pop

I remember reading a really funny review for The Thief from Queen’s Thief series after watching one of these videos. Very legitimate, but the ending (which would be major spoilers) makes it make sense! I cannot properly recommend this book on any basis besides trust in me.

I love the stakes! I recently decided to turn my small "book club" into a competition so my friend/sister actually read the books.

[@sunlight4664]

Spoilers! The review about Sword of Kaiden was just so ... annoying. Mamoru's death happened because the author wanted to show the horrors of the war. And the mother character is not as bad as her husband, they are just both flawed people!

I went to all my least favorite books to pull a one star review since you asked for them. I realized I have never one starred a book. Even for my least favorite books ever, like the detective novel I call the midlife crisis book. If Merphy can aspire to leave a funny one star then I can aspire to just leave a single one star review. By the end of the year I will leave a one star even if I do it by just reading Cursed Child again.

[@christhewritingjester3164]

1/5 stars - This video I couldn't get over how much of a crutch Corey ended up being in this video. So much exploitation, but at the same time waste, of a manly presence. He's more than a hot bod and I feel like we, as the viewer, are held back from that out of what I can only imagine is a deep-seated jealousy that a fully realized Korey might attract a larger audience who demands his contributions have equal weight. On a lesser note, the extent to which Murphy must make this into a competition without teeth (3 guesses???) just so she can justify her deep-seated pyromaniac desires cries out the need for professional help or at least an alert to the local authorities. In the end, all we got was a Walmart special Daniel Greene with some arm candy. ***** How's that 1* review? :)
