BookTok brought me here. Fast reads, spicy takes, zero patience for info dumps. If the first chapter doesn't hook me, I'm out.

Berserk, Vol. 1
Kentaro Miura
Finally something with actual stakes and actual consequences. The art goes so hard it should be illegal. Yeah it's dark but at least stuff HAPPENS.
I don't have the mythology background to follow half the references and the pacing is way too literary for me. Respect the craft but this isn't my kind of book.
I know it's a classic and basically invented the genre but the pacing feels glacial compared to anything written in the last 30 years. The Shire chapters read like a nature documentary. Respect the influence but I need things to actually happen. Watched the movies instead.
771 pages??? I made it 200 pages in and nothing had happened except a kid being sad in a rich person's apartment. Beautiful writing I guess but life is too short.
