Mr Beast and James Patterson supposedly collaborated on a book. Honestly if I were them, I'd want my participation to be doubted... Because I would never want my name on something this atrocious. THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES... A 12 hour deep dive read and review. youtu.be/84Ug52_sjSI

MrBeast/patterson book: done. Goddamn. This is truly atrocious on every level. I am fearful of being accused of overusing hyperbole. Please trust me: it sucks big time. The ending is a masterpiece of nonsensical stupidity

Oh god, I couldn't survive rereading this book comes October. It's a nightmare plowing through it once!

And the writing is so, so, so bad. At things that ought to be easy, it fails to convey basic action. The plot doesn't make sense. For some reason, despite the straightforward premise that ought to be a slamdunk for a thinking writer, it utterly squanders everything that could be good

Every single time something concrete comes up, you can research to find it is false. Often in a strange 'near miss' way. A character receives a specific millitary award only given to units. The antartic boats are the right type yet described utterly inaccurately. It is beyond usual lack of research

When I release a video you will hear many examples but on every level this is written so.... Strangely. It is dull and bland yet quietly bizarre. It makes the wrong choices in the least interesting ways. It repeats and rephrases constantly. It forgets. It contradicts.

I am reading MrBeast/James Patterson's book. I am someone staunchly against accusing authors of AI, because I find people are much worse at that than they think, and it's generally impossible to prove. I absolutely am leaning towards THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES being written using AI. It's. Atrocious

I will return to updating here!! I've been doing a new style of book review, 'live reads', where I checked in as I read and given off the cuff remarks. It's been way easier than scripted, but I'm not giving up my stupidly long essays anytime soon

I'm in the midst of my Crowntide review, I got a haircut, I was briefly in Prague, and I'm back on my fallen london fancomic life because I love that dang crab and if I love it hard enough I can psychically will everyone else to. So, busy 👌🦀🫡

youtu.be/vUilucRyHdY Lightlark 3.5, aka the novellas ORO and GRIM, are.... Woof, rough. Here's my 3.5 hour in depth review! Text version is up on my blog. A "novella with some prequel and some retelling" ought to be simple. Yet. This makes the men repulsive and BOY does it hate women (xcept Isla)

Reading Crowntide, Lightlark #4, by Alex Aster! Boy, if only her publisher let her write instead of making her publish 3 books a year— I've never seen a series get so noticeably worse in prose, quality, plot, EVERYTHING. I didn't like lightlark, but at least it felt like someone tried somewhere. ☠️

070

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

I continue!! My video review of Oro/Grim (Lightlark book 3.5) should be out fairly soon. Excited to have it out— it's an absolute mess of misogyny, plot holes, and slop. At one point a war begins, 1000s die, and ends over the course of 3 sentences. This unseen war is incredibly important, apparently

I did a lot of papercraft this year too, and love the end results. Um. It was all Fallen London again, but I'm autistic okay!!

....meanwhile, my Fallen London fancomic Creatures of Heaven hit THREE HUNDRED PAGES, I finished chapter 6 a few days ago, and excited to start 7— the final chapter! :D I did a ton I'm really chuffed by, this continues to be such a great creative exercise. You can read it without knowing FL Btw!

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

My art year in review for 2025 was ALL Fallen London related (a lot of anthromorphic designs for inhumans + some ocs + That Dang Crab).

.....this isn't some targeted manuever against her she just has had three novels out/coming in such a tiny period of time. BC of my health issues it takes me a while to read/review them. I'd enjoy working on something else between but we will see lol

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

What's up: ★finished Oro And Grim, the lightlark novellas!! Will start review later ★lightlark 4 will be read after. Can someone stop making Alex Aster publish so f---ing fast. I'm behind ★...her NEXT book starside is in like march and by the time I'm done with the above, I'll read it too ★.......so

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Also there's like, a huge huge plot hole introduced that is just... irreversible. It didn't used to exist but by Alex Aster going back to write these prequels she just stumbled into making the main plot simply Impossibly Wrong. Can someone PLEASE perform CPR on her editing team. I'm worried .

030

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Seriously though. This book is bad in an exciting new way, where it ruins characters and things I never even liked that much. It hates Oro. I hate Oro now too, because he's an obsessive entitled stalker who ends the book going "I will die and be happy about it BC I'm not endgame." It's not subtle

120

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Grim and Oro by Alex Aster is so far.... Despite being called fanservice, woof, the characters are unpleasant, creepy, and act bizarre. there's a kiss (the endgame, author fav couple!) that is SO gross. I don't like kissing so I ran a poll. The overwhelming sentiment I hear is "literally gagworthy"

I am truly so sad Tyra Banks never wrote more of the series, it would have been incredibly fascinating to see what she would have done considering book one has a ""conventional"" plot (ugly girl goes to model school, doesn't feel she belongs, chooses to stay and prove self). What was book 2...

youtu.be/cxd3cnfqPcI AT LAST! My 4 hour review of Tyra Banks' MODELLAND is here! Text version is linked in the video description. Modelland is Everything to me. Modelland is Nothing to me. I don't think it's a good book but I would take a bullet for it. Modelland is... Modelland.

Wrote about 7k last week, bringing Modelland review up to 22k. I'm about halfway through coverage. Really might be my longest video yet, because there's simply.... So much to discuss. Too much to unpack. Modelland is everything and also nothing

Still existing— ever a rough time. I have filmed my "beginner's guide to world of Fallen London" video at last, so that's being edited. I am still chipping away at Modelland review. I am still thinking about that damn crab

I am continuing to Work On Things! I am continuing to be a person with Powerful physical and mental ailments. Modelland is a review that is going to be LONG— I'm 13k in and have covered 1/3 of the book. In other news cutting the spires of the Bazaar freehand during dnd combat went surprisingly well

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Well. Look.... it has a sucker mouth, lined with toenails, rather than one which sucks toenails. Picture a lamprey with toenail teeth. Now picture it as a giant monster covered in human legs which it extracts from its victims. ✨️MODELLAND!✨️

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

there's also a cannibalistic lizard mutant who is on the hunt for a main character's pancreas. That plot never resolves. Maybe in the fabled book 2 that never manifested.... This is..... a book..... a book of all time alright

A M Blaushild, Crowcaller @crow-caller.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

This is actually the second scene in the book where a monstrosity half formed of stolen human limbs murders a child and mother before doing something goofy AF. Earlier a pond monster with musical instruments for a face ripped the arms off 2 ppl and used them to play delightful tunes. MODELLAND!!!
