Hello
I don’t want this to turn into a debate about identity politics or anything. I simply have questions for what I like, I understand others enjoy different things in their stories than I do. So I am just trying to get a sense from people who have read The High Republic.
Would you say the High Republic has a sense of Agency? What I mean by agency is the stories actually progress, tie together, there is real stakes and consequences. I know they will never be grim dark but I don’t enjoy stories where there is never death or the main character just all of a sudden figuring out how to win.
Are the stories forcing politic idolatry rather than telling a story in a make believe universe? I personally don’t love stories where I cannot relate to any of the characters and I have heard that the HR is basically anti-straight white men. I understand others will not mind that but I read to escape the culture we live in.
Is there a main villian or war throughout? My fav stories were always in the rebellion or in the EU vs the Vong.
How do you feel it compares to the NJO similar? Equal?
Thank you for your time.
