so like 2 days ago I finally read one of the comics I bought blind a while ago with comics that I was actually looking for.

anyway Rat Queens is just mid, if not below average. I wrote a rant/review about it but before i finished it I realised this title is just not worth it lmao

After I read it I only wanted to start reading Dungeon Meshi so I can read sth actually good tbh and maybe i’ll sit down to do it today kjhkjh

#my posts #rambling #idk why i’m putting it off for later I KNOW I WILL LIKE IT KJHDFKJBD #I’ve been spoiled a lot (that’s how I know this series is such szkicelcore) but i still wanna read it from start to finish #before i dive into anime #bc i’ve heard they’ve changed and cut some things so i wanna see the og first #Anyway if you want a short answer why I didn’t like Rat Queens #basically it suffers from this typical „adult comics” problem where everyone talks the same #and the dialogue feels so stiff and unnatural bc the author prioritizes adult jokes over substance and whether it makes #sense for the characters to actually say it or if it fits the context of the scene #basically what everyone else just calls „h//bin h/tel problem” (it’s actually handled way better than h//bin obv #but it’s still pretty bad)#Other stuff i didn’t like: artstyle is nice but faces are drawn so inconsistently that sometimes i couldn’t tell #that someone was supposed to be a character i’ve already seen #or the resolution of the main plot takes a couple of pages while the real climax is a battle related to some random troll #we’ve seen at the very start of the story (i know that’s the joke; like „haha i bet you thought this troll wasn’t gonna be relevant again”#but i would still rather have a proper resolution to the main plot…and maybe actually a better plot too you know kjhdjbd)#also they neglected my girl Dee - she was my favourite bc her design is cool; she’s an atheist paladin and mostly talks like a normal perso #the atheist-paladin thing is questionable but another character points it out so i guess they have an explanation for it #in the next tomes - but i’m not gonna buy another comic from this series so i will never find out lmao #Another thing that irks me that isn’t related to the comic itself are all the reviews at the back comparing it to LOTR of all things #„It’s like a mix of sex and the city and LOTR haha” „this is LOTR but with sexy ladies” shut up shuuuut uuuuuup #You guys know only one fantasy book series and it shows #if anything this comic is clearly inspired by DnD with all the references they make for rolling the dice etc #but only as a remark from the narrator at the end of every chapter so also not really #Anyway i need to read dungeon meshi dammit
