finally reading through orv with the intent to finish and the venn diagram i will make once i am done... insane.
#jkb.talk#ok some obvious contenders for comparisons are rgu and blame! all about being trapped in some place/cycle and then breaking out#(i assume that dokja will leave the story in the end. im only at ch 100)#there's of course the structure of a 'story' that is obviously present in rgu (prince/princess) and orv (the entire book)#i would argue that the implied cyclical structure of blame! would lead it to also have a story like aspect---that and killy's reputation#being so widespread makes him like a 'character' even in his own world#there are weapons of choice---the gbe utena's sword and either kdjs sword or just his knowledge would count as a weapon#if kdj does leave the story like im anticipating then there is comparisons between the main characters. rgu and orv have the added benefit#that there are 'alternate mcs.' anthy and yoo joonghyuk#there are megastructures which relate to being trapped in a place. stairs for rgu and blame! while orv is not in a megastructure considerin#how the star stream makes earth entirely feel like one place i would count earth as halfway to a megastructure#anyways there's some more stuff i can draw out but anyways#also would want to compare these stories to house of leaves and piranesi (megastructure beloveds) and then lotr/silm#the latter of which is technically not supposed to be on this blog but lotr/silm is also stories within stories; a cycle that has lasted#forever; is there hope in the future? perhaps. we will fight for it regardless#also just. maglor repeating the same story again and again on the shores of the world.#he himself is enough for a comparison.
