100% agreed. Mistborn is my least favorite cosmere series. For me, it is because I really liked the final empire, but the subsequent books (era 1) just got worse as it progressed to me. I almost DNF’d Hero of Ages, I gust about a third of the way in and jumped to stormlight to see if I just didn’t like him as an author. Found out it was just mistborn I didn’t like. I did go back and re-read the era and had the exact same feelings, but I suffered through to the end. And from a lot of people I see who liked, era 1, they say it’s much better than era 2 so I haven’t felt a need to pick up era 2 just yet.

Hi Daniel, I'm newer and I love you too! Especially because you convinced me to read my first Sanderson. Finished Final Empire and staring on WoA!

It's not exactly obvious, but, with all of its tragic elements, Kingkiller seems to me like a villain origin story (it's literally a monologue). The wish-fulfillment, power fantasy elements are part of it's setup. I don't know if Rothfuss is going to do what I would do with the story, but if he does ...

I'm legitimately happy you decided to pick up Berserk again. There's still the real chance that it doesn't resonate for you, and that's perfectly ok, but hopefully you'll at least see what the hype is about. And hey, if nothing else you get to look at some gorgeous artwork along the way

What a great idea for a video. I'd like to see this become a Thing. I like it's healthy for people to look back and evaluate mistakes they've made or just how they've grown and changed. Good on you for modeling that process.

actually legit excited for you to do a full review of berserk if you somehow found the time. its a different medium obviously so not sure if their is much in it for you to go out on a limb for but even for a manga it has some surprising literary merit in terms of theme, tone, and of course artwork.

Cool vid. It's nice to see people constantly re-evaluating their content, and what goes into it. Looking forward to new videos (as always). A potentially interesting video would be reviewing your older videos, and giving your take now. Like when you get through portions of Berserk (keeping in mind that if Manga in that style isn't your thing, that's cool) and do a re-review. As I'm sure you know, your reactions to books change as you age, learn more, etc. Could be cool.

I absolutely love your videos and they kind of really helped me get back into reading (after a long break), a lot of that is because I have the exact same comments and feelings about a lot of the books you review, which is awesome. Kudos and keep at it! Also, side question... where did you get that wheel of time edition? I swear I can't find it anywhere.

Looking back I’ve always been drawn to fantasy, but since finding you and the other world hoppers I feel like I’ve developed a more complex understanding of the genre. The one thing I used to think about fantasy in general that makes me cringe a bit now: “ fantasy is all the same-it’s stagnant.” Ouch-- i hate to even type that in your comments section, lest I invite the wrath of the channel. I had a very basic idea of fantasy in general -the kind of basic idea that outsiders to the genre often have-because I hadn’t given myself a chance to see the nuances yet. I can assure you I’m over that now . I still have so much more to read ( because each of these books is like 600-800 pages, and I’m not the fastest reader out there) but I do feel like I’m “educating” myself on the nuances of the genre, and my appreciation for it is maturing. Your channel is a big part of that, so thank you-you’re making me a better book nerd, and by extension a better writer, and I deeply appreciate that .

As someone who dropped Berserk early but recently read up to the Millennium Falcon Arc, I'm happy to see you give it another shot :)

Are you going to finish doing reviews of each of the wheel of time books? I’m on seven currently and would be great to have you talk about it like you had with the earlier ones

That Anomander Rake one made me laugh out loud. I hadn't seen that video, so that came completely out of left field. New here, love your videos.

I'm so happy you're giving berserk a chance!!! since I really love your taste in books! actually everything you recommend i end up loving!

7 -8 years ago (geez this doesn't help me feel that the time isn't passing) my roommate was reading The Way of Kings. She was dating another fellow book nerd and they'd swapped favorites. When I saw the book and she started talking about it, I said "See that is the kind of book I'll never read". Today, Stormlight is my favorite. Also YAY PIPS!

Daniel your videos are like my coffee every morning. Keep up the awesomeness!

I’m just glad he’s getting through the golden age arc. Berserk is beautiful and is such a journey to go through, have fun!

I saw your Berserk review, and new that at some point this video would happen 🙂 Keep up the great work.

Martin's subversions are eerily similar to Tad Williams' method in Memory Sorrow Thorn.

I’m so glad you’re going to read more of Berserk! I also like both animated series if you have the time- though make sure to watch it with subtitles in the original language

Dang, now I can look forward to you talking about Berserk! Also if that's 1Q84 I spotted in the back then you're in for quite a treat in my opinion at least.

Gotta say I'm super excited to see you review Berserk again, its one of my favorite stories of all time not just in manga. But I also understand its not for everyone. I think you will really like it up until the end of the Golden Age arc though Lost Children is still one of my personal favorite storylines.

When you finish Berserk and if you ever feel like doing another manga I'm suggesting Vinland Saga

Happy to hear you're revisiting Berserk, from volume 4 onward it becomes quite a bit different in its tone and its later chapters give plenty of context to the first 3 volumes. Also if you'll ever decide to review any other manga, I'd highly recommend Vinland Saga. It has some amazing character development and I feel like its first chapters are tonally way more in your ballpark, with a higher chance to hook you in right off the bat.

Hey, I was listening to this video, and looking at the beautiful new wheel of time book covers behind you as you talking, and notice a weird visual effect. The focus "pulses" every few seconds, giving a wobble effect on the lovely out of focus background/lights/bokeh(?). Most of the time, I'm looking at whichever Daniel is front of shot of course, not the background, but now I've noticed it I can't unsee it,, and I'm seeing it everywhere. flickerflickerflickerflickerflicker... ;) Any chance you could put this very *very* minor criticism on your list of "very small video things to look at when there's time?". Thanks for your work, and building a great youtube community.

Yeah the first part of Berserk(Blackswordsman Arc) which you reviewed is actually in the future. Once you get to the Golden Age which is considered to be the best arc of Berserk it actually puts the first part into context. Golden Age is basically the backstory for the Guts you are reading in the first volume. Golden Age has some of the best character development and exploration of themes I've every read in any medium. It will make you understand why he is such an edgelord in the first volume. Was excited to see you picked it up tho.

Thank you for revisiting Berserk. Manga and comics is a weird medium to get into, because unlike books, you can see the author grow and get better in the same story they started with. The first couple volumes of berserk reflect a Muira that doesnt know where he wants to take the story yet. I look forward to your eventual thoughts on it!

Thanks for giving Berserk a second shot, looking forward to hearing your opinion of one of the most beloved Arcs in Berserk (The Golden Age!). Good or bad, it'll be better than the review of the first volume, which is like you said, Hobbit compared to LOTR.

The Golden Age Arc surprised me with one of the deepest experience I had while reading manga and also a lot of books a I have read.

Always be honest with ur book reviews we are ur fans... we will always stick with u!! From uk 🇬🇧

I like how I searched the channel and didn't find any updated Berserk thoughts, so I came back to this video to check comments (sorting by New), and it's basically ALL people asking where the Berserk review is at :p

😂 The hair!

Good move to reevaluate the way you approach reviewing manga! I haven't read Berserk personally but as longtime manga reader I am so curious to see how you approach your second go at reviewing the story as someone still fairly new to the medium. There are so MANY good stories to be found in manga that easily rival what you find in novels BUT it is still a bit of a different beast so I imagine there might be some level of adjusment needed when reading and review sequential lit if you're more accustom to consuming purely written lit (nevermind lit sequential or otherwise that non-western in origin). Regardless of how much you like Berserk in the end or not I do hope it's encourage you to explore the medium a bit more and maybe on occassion if you come accross something you really like make a video!

Daniel going through a character arc right here!

If you do another one of these you should talk about your old Sanderson reviews😂😂

I've been watching your channel for a while now. I'm really really glad you've considered reading more Berserk. Like I've said before, read it online before buying more volumes.

Finally gained some respect for this dude. Thought he seemed angsty and too biased in earlier videos. He’s matured quite well, and I praise him for recognizing his previous faults. Hats off mate!

Kind of surprised this and the forsaken, darkest timeline review aren't on the Berserk playlist. Glad to have been here over the years to see the full journey. Also really glad the '97 anime pretty much glosses over Black Swordsman review in one episode. Speaking of the '97 anime, it introduced the world to Guts' Theme which is fantastic. :D

Mine was thinking RA Salvatore was the only fantasy I'd read. Now I've read WoT, Lies of Locke, Wizard's Rule, Kings of the Wyld, and still branching out.

Just out of curiosity, ASOIAF is just what I want to read on a Sunday afternoon... any recommendations on other series that may fill that gap now that i've finished reading the published books?

Berserk story growing with the band of the hawk is one of the best.

As a big berserk fan. I'm glad you are giving it another shot. It's one of if not my favorite fantasies of all time. I admit it's not for everyone. Please enjoy and keep up the great work
