I have Thoroughly Enjoyed: One Piece, Baki, Jojo, Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe, Fist of the North Star, Fist of the Blue Sky, Akira, Sakon-Record of the Sengoku Upheaval, Ikusa no Ko (What little is translated sadly). And I am currently in the middle of reading. One Piece, Jojolands, Yuenchi, Baki Rahen, and am One Volume into "The Ravages of Time" and "Hajime no Ippo"! I was going to give Kengan Ashura a chance, but since all the translated chapters seem to have vanished off this site I'll forgo the series until they return. I won't sink money into a series unless I know it's good, and I have a policy nowadays of not watching the show until I've seen the source. (But, one can say I should take a chance and buy a volume wherever they're available... Which I may, but that'll be far in the future...)
So, any suggestions?
I am going to attempt Kingdom, Jujustsu Kaisen, Yu Yu Hakusho, Fairy Tail, Seven Deadly Sins, and perhaps even Ao Aoishi after the current two I'm One Volume into. But, for now I'd like something else to peak my interests!
I'm contemplating "Sunyu of the Shadowless", "Records of the Mystic Gardens", "Way to Heaven", "Legend of Tyr", "Saiyuki", and "Yongbi the Invincible" but who knows if the first chapter will sell me in those. So what do you think?
My Turn Offs in a series are: Sexual Violence, and Romantic Tribulations such as love triangles and what not! They're absolute "No-Nos" as some say. (I hate love games, comes with seeing too much hallmark, cheesy teen-novel adaptions and rom-coms... Though the latter of which I kinda enjoyed since I do like a good love story which is goofy too. Thank you Mom! The "Sexual Violence" thing... I just... it scares the heck out of me, whatever I saw when i was 9 and accidentally picked up that Berserk Volume at the bookstore in curiosity has me scarred for life, and makes me visually gag each time I see a volume. What's weird is I don't even remember what I saw!)
What!? It's a simple aversion! I judge off a first chapter, though that isn't saying much since when I started One Piece 6-7 years ago I was like "Oh, It feels like a series which is more for boredom or when I need a pick-me-up", but after rereading the first chapter like a month later I discovered how godly it was and sadly ditched MHA for the proceeding 6 years. Would you believe the First Chapter of Jojo Part 1 sold me on the entire series, and the first Chapter of Part 3 had me take a break from it for a week, with the jarring introduction of stands? Love the series though! Sry, I can jabber all day!
My Loves are Fantasy and if there's a Good Sci-Fi, Humor and Heart, Emotion without the need of extremes, and if extremes good narrative reason and not just shock-factor, and No Isekai... Well, I'm being rude... Maybe One Day, since I loved the OG: THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA (XD) but, not until the genre has cemented some mainstays. Or peaked my interest enough for me to take it seriously.
Yes, I'm peculiarly particular, consider it a challenge if you will. wow me! Please, Cuz I want to add something else to my Reading Roster!
