the care given to writing the Kaiju’s impact on the world is incredible. the entire concept of Bone Slums being something that people inhabit, especially those of Reckoner in Hong Kong turning into a black market, Kaiju Blue being massively toxic and damaging to the environment, doomsday cults emerging? it’s also so immersive, which i think a lot of sci-fi movies kinda fail to establish. granted, pacrim had novels to include extra info in, but alien/kaiju movies usually don’t flesh out the world around them besides the immediate destruction in the aftermath of an invasion. idk i just think it’s fun

Hey! It seems a new Heracles novel will be published, called "HERC" (well, it is announced as a Greek Myth Retelling but they had to choose the Roman name LOL) The subtitle is "Hero, Huband, Father, Monster, Villain"... How can you naked Heracles the villain? It's quite ruthless, if we remember that the craziest shit he did (killing his wife & sons) was done because of Hera's magic. What are your feelings about it? I read somewhere that it's being announced as a "Querer Romance" (Heracles' "friend" Hylas and his nephew Iolaus will be included, it seems), but I don't have any hope about the nivel portraying gay relationships in a positive light TBH...

"HERC"?? wHAT in the Anglophone hell made them cut the name like that?? 🤮 (on top of choosing the Roman name for absolutely no reason other than ignorance)

"Anglophones research 15 mins before writing" challenge

oh, and

"westerners stop villainizing every male Greek hero. You're not cool or deep" challenge

In such books the elements of the og myth look sooo thin in this retelling. Usually the worldbuilding is "yeah there was a palace with columns, and it was summer and it was SO HOT, and there was the sea and they were eating olives and praying to zeus like they are protestant Christians".

Not only my hopes are not high for this but the facepalming percent for this will also probably be high. I mean, creativity is good but I challenge you to go to random Greeks on the street and explain this book to them. The facial expressions you're gonna get will be PRICELESS

Another reason why this trend annoys me is that the readers will be like "omg I LOVE Greek myths" and their definition of "LOVE!" is "I'm reading every western absurd fantasy scenario available on the market, and have no idea about how the og culture sees its hero. This book is enough for me and apparently Hercules sucks".

Just...make another book at this point, with ancient magic and queer couples!
