Dain can do something else while hes beetween my legs

I mean i wanna fall asleep on his chest and have him burry his head in the crook my neck while his tail wraps around my wrists his ears intently listening for potential distractions so he can make sure i get enough rest

And zhongli ctafting a beautiful accessory out of those scales so he can always have something of his on you to make sure you know that you're his always and forever don't think about how he looked so smug when you proclaimed you would never take it off. It meant he had finally given you a permanent brand of his ownership of you

oh like using his tongue to make out with your-

he might look like he's sleeping as he's purring continuously, but he's fully alert and is ready to pounce on any sort of danger so you can get your much-needed rest <3 god forbid someone tries to wake you up. his claws aren't just for show <3

crying sobbing wailing- the first year it's a necklace, simple and sophisticated. the second year, he goes for earrings. the next, a bracelet. then, an anklet. a belt. a ring. a choker. all sorts of accessories just to make sure i'll always have a piece of him when i'm out and about hsldfjksldf if he wants a permanent brand i wouldn't mind a geo sigil tattoo right above my heart

Quick rant: there's a big distinction between critiquing a book and bullying an author.

Lately I've seen more and more people shutting down any criticism of the All for the game series because they automatically equate it to people being assholes to Nora.

If you don't want to engage with criticism and you just want to enjoy the books, that's completely fair, but it doesn't mean that criticism is to be forbidden or ridiculed. That doesn't even mean that people being assholes to Nora is not a thing.

And being able to recognise flaws in something you like, doesn't have to diminish your enjoyment of it.

I honestly don't care much when people say "I don't understand why people say these books are badly written", cause that just means you don't know a lot about writing, and that's FINE; but when people try to say that there's nothing at all problematic about these books, that worries me, because that's about critical thinking, and about judgment of stuff that might impact you in real life.

So here's a list of problematic aspects that I've noticed, or that I've seen people point out over the years (and promptly getting shutting down and ridiculed because HOW DARE YOU talk shit about my fave?)

Torture porn: some of the most intense events are used for shock value, don't actually further the plot or impact the characters beyond what had already been established by the narrative, and that's considered problematic because it undervalues the importance of that traumatic event.

Demonization of drug use and drug users

Misrepresentation of psychiatric drugs, how they work, what they do, and how a sensible psychiatrist would assign one to a patient

Demonization of psychiatric drugs

The only POCs characters (Riko and Nicky) are the two guys that get no redemption.

Alternatively, and in opposition to the last point, people argue that Nicky's kiss with Neil was never really condemned by the narrative, making it look like "it's not that important, it was just a drunk kiss"

Except for the POCs characters, the ethnicity of anyone else is not specified because white is treated as a default.

The books messing up between psychopathic and psychosis is a huge fucking deal (I will die on this hill), considering that people with psychosis are probably one of the most discriminated groups on Earth, and the books associate them with what in the common immaginary are dangerous criminals with no empathy.

Misrepresentation of alchool abuse (as in, these characters drink their livers away every other day, and still win championship)

The ending doesn't really dwell on wether Neil understands or cares that him funding the Moryamas means that he would be funding murderers, drug trafficking, human trafficking, rape, pedophilia (you know, the stuff mafias do?).

You might not agree with the points above, not with all of them, or you might not see these traits as problematic. I know I don't agree with all of them, but the point is that a healthy fandom should be able to have a conversation without resorting to insults and ridicule.

(and since I woke up petty, the reasons why people say these books are badly written is for multiple unfinished storylines, multiple set ups are left with no payoff, there's infodumping every three pages or so, most secondary characters have little to no depth, the most important villains are killed by characters that were barely even mentioned before. If none of this bothers you or doesn't strike you as bad writing, that's fine. I still think these would be some of the same parameters by which any other book is critiqued, and All for the game is not above criticism).

Now that being said; do I love these books? Yes.

The characters work, development, the relationships between them, the pacing, and the dialogue is masterly ctafted.

Those are reasons enough for me to fall in love in a book, and it's what I care about the most.
