#oh btw lionheart isn't a story like the others its like a novel

[heatwa-ves]

i havent read uhhh Any knights stories so am i good to start with lionheart or should i read other ones first? your posting has convinced me

HELLOOOO hi. knights. hi.

definitely do not start with lionheart, it requires context of both izumi and leos characters and previous events to have the Full Emotional Impact (aka ruining your life like it did to me)

I think which one you start with depends on how much you know about knights as a unit and if you want the plot stuff or an overview of them and their dynamics as a group

for plot, definitely read checkmate first, it's the pre ! story for knights and makes me unwell!!! lionheart comes chronologically after checkmate so you can read it then if you want or wait till you've read some of the other stories for more context, after checkmate there's king's horseback ride and then requiem (I'm pretty sure this is the right order? I haven't read requiem yet tho so you better not read it before me 😭)

but yeah as long as you read checkmate before lionheart you're good <- read them the other way round 🫣

I also recommend the meowsketeers scout story as an overview of knights as a unit and also bc it gave me ritsu feelings and also bc there's a kitty cat!!
