At least if you’re gonna have her be a spy do a honeypot.
Bro is flexing his wigs🐥✨✨✨
Anw this is motivating me to write my own fantasy lobe triangle with pointy ear people!!!
Bro when the first half of your video described Mistborn to a T, I started to get defensive. Thankfully the fairies and stuff saved it. Then again I like the silly The Young Elites and Graceling so I have no taste.
I just realised how bad the comp titles are for TOG. A fusion of Game of thrones and the hunger games? Really??
My problem with fairies: Let´s say they live for hundreds of years and still they are totally horny 24/7
Like sorry, I would be bored of all sex stuff after first hundred years
Unrelated note, have you read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel? The world building does things to me.. unspeakable things. And the magic is my favourite magic system ever…
Also they have the best example of super magical humanoid faeries I have ever seen.
This needs to be clipped and put on tik tok so I can watch the booktokers lose their perverbial shit
Man I have been waiting for this video😂😂😂😂😂
YA has made me hate fae so much that i feel like Denzel Crocker
A bowl of mac and cheese 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
So its harem manga but in a book form and targeted to girls
I think you can write much more terrifying books by considering things like game theory, politics and morality, but that sounds like a lot of work.
lol don’t bring 90s Jrpgs in to this
I find it hilarious that despite trying to aggresively distinguish itself from "women's fiction", bad books aimed at men are usually just this same stuff but with guns
Don't you love stuff like Storm light archibe and Wheel of Time? Don't pretend you're any better
Did Disney use this guide when writing the sequel trilogy?
So I work in a bookstore and I actually had to create a "new adult" section just to move all of these smutfests masquerading as young adult to it. The likes of Colleen Hoover has also been moved there but that's mostly for marketing purposes since people who buy one also buy the other. It's been so hard for me to find new authors or even new stories to read because the market right now is so over saturated with the reading equivalent of junk food. I now have a coworker who will not read a book if it doesn't have enough smut in it. Genuinely starting to feel like I'm surrounded by porn addicts sometimes
Kingkiller handles the fae very well without sacrificing their uniqueness, and it even makes them smutty!
This just makes me appreciate The Spook's Apprentice series that I've been rereading.
It's got some of the youth fantasy tropes but I like that for the most part its a very down to earth with the protagonist just trying to help normal people with their problems and be a good person despite the harsh world.
Noice choice in pencil at 3:10, that's my favorite mechanical of all time speaking as a writing enthusiast. Pentel Twist-Erase II or III
Fames (Female James) is giving me so much ENERGY in this video, I know her book is goin gto be a #1 best seller!!!
Hot fairies exists in Lanval by Marie de France.
Which genre is worse: Youtuber Book or TikToker Book?
For me, TikTok book, because at least most youtube books are autobiographies so each novel can't be as carbon copy as each other.
BRO I THOUGHT THIS WAS LAYZE WHO ARE YOU
I can't take the words "goon squad" seriously enymore, I am sorry James.
well this IS funny))
This video is pure gold 😂👏🏻
☝️🤓
Porn in literature is getting out of hand. I'm trying to write sci-fi with a trans lead, and 48 of the top 50 "lgbt sci-fi" novels on Amazon are gay porn (specifically homophobic gay porn written by straight women). It's absolutely soul-crushing trying to make headway writing actual plot-driven stories that feature lgbt people. If you've ever asked why there are no non-romances with gay MCs, this is why.
alright. you rocking that pink wig a bit too hard…
Just makes me think of a spoof of this genre with an MC who's a guy in a wig trying to escape the "Bad Boys" while failing upwards in every battle (like losing his horse off a cliff because he's a dumbass but then the horse pancakes the enemy commander at the base of the cliff)
Court Queen, Bone Princess; Grace the Blood-Iron Rose Throne.
That's a title… 16:48
Miy biggest takeaway from this is that James somehow broke into Lucasfilm headquarters, stole the outline for the sequel trilogy, and then added a bunch of details about smut and faeries
The Court of Law and Right to a Fair Trial
honestly the whole thing about the mc HAVING to be a spy just made me think of Mistborn. Brandon Sandersons books don't to fall under the typical YA tropes (not to say they are without criticism, they VERY much are), but it always struck me as so dumb that they would take the MC, with zero espionage experience who also happens to be the second most powerful person on the rebel side and make her a spy. By being a spy she would be at such high risk of being discovered and the rebel cause would lose such a significant resource. Despite there being a strong presence of an underworld and there no doubt was room for Brando to write a spy character in. But i guess he wanted Vin to meet Elend. Love that book series but i feel like there could have been a better explanation for why SHE of all people had to go undercover.
i thought i clicked on a layze video bc of this beautiful wig
Its funny that SJM got the fairy smut popular but she certainly wasn't the first one.
I still remember reading Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning in 2010s (but it was publisher 2006). Almost 10 years before SJM published ACOTAR.
And there are probably many more authors that published books with sexy fairies even more Karen Marie Moning, so SJM isn't that unique, she just had a stroke of good luck with her beginnings. I'm not saying she is a bad author, she has a talent of writing books really fast, and that's what today's readers love (unfortunately)
I like this video but there were few misconceptions here – fantasy has always been popular in YA, especially female led, even before the vampire trend and then the dystopian trend. ACOTAR is an adult series, pretty much succeeding on the very fact that a lot of female YA readers were now outgrowing the demographic and had been consuming R rated fanfics for years – it was a matter of time someone in trad publishing was going to fill that void.
