i decided to read all 35 books in the rinaverse in chronological order and the fact that it ends with this one, what a fucking disappointing way to end an era. good riddance.

from the beginning, i really couldn’t care less about reading aiden 2.0 x colesilver spawn even if they were shipped from the beginning as children and are the reason why this second gen series was created. they were just so forgettable to me throughout the previous books that it made me so indifferent to their story. my lack of interest in them was warranted.

i knew this was so fucking bad early on but kept reading in hopes of there being something notable. there wasn’t.

eliava’s story was:
- adrianlia from shien
- lies & truth duet from aliexpress
- kingdom duet from wish
- the entire log series from princesspolly

also rk must’ve read nicoelena or something because there was so many dialogue that—[GUNSHOT]

eli king:
- no personality
- cringey controlling “alpha male” asshole for no reason
- aiden 2.0 but more annoying

ava nash king:
- spoiled brat (derogatory)
- piece of shit that drives while drunk and high on drugs
- bootleg alicia king (if she had lived) and lia volkov (but worse)

🚩 what truly cemented the one-star rating was rk’s weird ass hymen kink, i.e. ava was a virgin because of course she was—as was every other fmc in the log series. *YAWN*

not only that, rk needs to stop. it’s so insane how she writes about mental health and how it varies between her mmc and fmc because of her extreme misogyny. the men get to be unfeeling, socio/psychopathic violet narcissists while still being functioning members of society while the women are always hysterical, delusional, amnesiac depressed and dependent solely on the mmc. what gives?

in her stories, rk goes to extreme lengths to villainize mental health care treatment to the point of making her fmcs attempt suicide and when they almost succeed, that’s when they start taking treatment seriously because the mmc–who was initially opposed to treatment–realizes he can’t live without her and drags her hallucinating ass to therapy to get better.

all her mentally ill characters need to stop reproducing!!!

the only part i liked was jercecy’s wedding in the first epilogue, everything else was garbage.

anyways Y’ALL I’M FINALLY FREE!!!!!
