King Crusoe > Recent Status Updates

…yeah I already read a couple more chapters tonight. The last 100-ish pages have honestly been pretty great. Just a shame that the 250 pages before that were a relative slog - not bad, just too much fluff.

Gon’ hope the last 32 pages are just as good as the past few chapters have been.

Damn it’s been surprisingly tense since that twist. Wish it hadn’t taken so long to get to this part.

Also read a lot today. I think I *might* be able to finish tomorrow. We’ll see.

AYYO??

YOU DID FUCKING WHAT MAXIM?

Ooo shit boutta get spicy here 👀

Okay so the big dramatic scene finally happened. Ngl, this one has been a lot slower than I think it has needed to be. Hopefully the rest of this justifies all that.

We're getting closer. Can't wait to see the way the original text ends this shit lmao

Okay so maybe something's finally gonna happen now? Nearly 50% in? Lmao

Ah we finally get some of the actual background to what happened to Rebecca. Interesting.

Intrigue has been a very slow build thus far. I guess things might be taking a turn here in a few chapters or so?

We'll see.

I'm very excited to see more of Odysseus's continued undercover adventures on Ithaca.

The Ryoka story-line is great. I low-key hate every time it ends on a somewhat cliffhanger-y moment just to go back to Erin for a few more chapters LMAO

Really slow going, but I'm enjoying it, especially since I'm finally in and understanding a little of what's going on. Still some questions and some intrigue building as well as personal conflict in the narrator.

We'll see how this goes.

Forgot to update yesterday lol.

Still really enjoying. Just got Odysseus to Ithaca. The back half of this book is gonna be fun for sure.

For the first 2 chapters (and part of Chapter 3 as well) I was 100% lost.

Now that I've read the rest of Chapter 3 and also Chapter 4, I'd like to say I'm now only 20% lost LMAO

Definitely a tad bit of interest - some questions I have that I want answered - and what seems to be the true intrigue of the story being introduced to some extent.

This is a section of Odysseus's tale that I actually didn't remember being a thing at all so that was fun.

Ooo, the tale of Odysseus on Circe's Island, hell yeah.

👀👀

Oooo we get to experience Odysseus telling most of his of his tale. Just finished Book 9, which was of Polyphemos the Cyclops (awesome to see it in the "source" material), as well as Book 8, where The Trojan Horse is actually mentioned.

Really cool stuff.

Ngl, this back half has had some surprisingly spooky moments lol

For the most part, not much has happened. But great atmosphere, fun character interactions, and great prose do a long way in making me enjoy this.

I'm actually really digging this one so far.

I love how this seems constructed more like a typical narrative than The Iliad, which in a way makes it more fun. We'll see as it goes on tho lol

Damn Ruocchio getting grisly with this imagery.

Got through a LARGE chunk today lo.

Seems like the couple main storylines are getting ready to merge soon? Maybe? Maybe the story is just bluffing.

Well things decided to go down real quick - which makes sense for such an insanely short story (comparatively).
