Review: The Hunger Games Was One of the Only Good Dystopian Novels (Spoilers)

Even though I’ve talked about quite a few books on this blog, one of the series I haven’t talked much about is the dystopian series that really kicked the genre into full gear in the 2010s and that was The Hunger Games. Though I’ve talked about the prequel book that came out in 2020 and... Continue Reading →

News: Just Like Disney, Rick Riordan is Out of Ideas

Last year, Rick Riordan released two new books: The Sun and the Star, a gay romance that tore the Percy Jackson fandom in two as people argued over how bad it was, and The Chalice of the Gods, a book about the now college-age Percy Jackson and co. needing to find and return Ganymede’s lost...

Blog: How to Never Write a Fight Scene: Rings of Power Snow Troll Scene.

I pick on Rings of Power a (perhaps) unfair amount on this blog. I mean, I’ve written numerous articles meticulously picking it apart as compared to the books, making fun of the showrunners and writers, and in general beating it a ton to make sure it’s extra dead. But today, I’m back to break down... Continue Reading →

Blog: How not to Write Emotionally Damaged Characters: Tris

I am not a fan of the Divergent trilogy. Not only is it essentially soft porn for teenagers, but the main character, Tris (short for Beatrice because she’s just soo edgy), has one of the worst mental health arcs I have ever read. Throughout the series (especially in book 2), she is a whiny, selfish... Continue Reading →

Blog: How to Write a Fight Scene

Let’s be honest, fight scenes are one of those things that can either make or break the believability of a story. If they’re really good, they have the audience rooting for the hero and fearing for their lives, or perhaps feeling as cocky as the hero that he’ll win because he’s the hero. On the...

Blog: Happy Valentine’s Day. Let’s Talk About How to Write a Romance.

As you guys know, I am not the type of person who likes love-triangles or many other lovey-dovey type tropes in books. However, I’m not completely heartless; I still enjoy a good love story now and again in a book when it’s not completely contrived. So let’s talk about how I think a romance should...

Blog: Why I Don’t Like Melanie Martinez

If you’re not a late millennial or Gen-Zer, you may not know who Melanie Martinez is, so let me fill you in real quick. Basically, she’s a singer who first popped up when she was 16 on an episode of America’s Got Talent in 2012 and launched her music career from there. Since then, she’s... Continue Reading →

Blog: I Went Ice Skating for the First Time. YouTube Didn’t Prepare Me Enough.

I usually don’t talk much about stuff that I do in my personal life on this blog and the reason for that is I’m not big on putting stuff about that onto the internet for thousands of people to see. However, in today’s case, I feel the story is funny and relatable enough to put... Continue Reading →

Review: King Lear Has Issues (Spoilers)

As some of you may know from my post about YouTuber Unclaimed Demigod’s video defending the LGBTQ+ agenda in Rick Riordan’s books, I am a sophomore student and in the grand tradition of high school, that naturally means reading a lot of Shakespear’s writing. So far, I haven’t covered much of his writing, so that’s... Continue Reading →

Review: Pilgrim’s Progress Was Okay (Spoilers)

I don't know if you guys ever read Pilgrim's Progress as part of your schooling, but as someone who is homeschooled, it was part of my curriculum. At the time, I didn't really know much about it other than it was considered a classic and was supposed to be an allegory for Christianity. Thus, I... Continue Reading →
