#asoft the only fandom that will argue against faithful adaptations

i like fire and blood. yall know that. ill defend it from people who call it bad. but im still objective. i can recognize its only the bones of the story (BECAUSE ITS AN *IN-UNIVERSE* HISTORY BOOK-)

so, hotd, (IF YOU ASK ME!!!!!) shouldve put meat on those bones. filled in the blanks. made characters out of the noncharacters in the book. instead it tried to reorganize the skeleton. rewrite the plot points that every differing pov in the book agreed on.

so now instead of fleshing out an underfed story. we have the bones of TWO stories that both introduce interesting themes and ideas but do nothing/go nowhere with it. whats the point of taking the bones of one story and turning it into the bones of a completely different story? just write your own story at that point idk.
