Is it bad that I’ve owned the new SGE book since April and I still haven’t read it? Like, I’d fallen in love with the series. I’ve been reading it for what is essentially six years now - started at 14, now 18. But I feel like there’s something stopping me. I don’t know if it lies more on Sophie or Tagatha. Don’t get me wrong Soman is a fantastic writer but you can see his favouritism towards Sophie and it gets old fucking fast, and you can play favourites but it’s when it affects the character arc it also creates a problem.
Sophie doesn’t learn anything nor face any consequences, despite the fact she’s the root of most - if not all problems because, to put bluntly; she’s a brat. Soman doesn’t acknowledge this. Sure, Agatha will give her a slight scolding but since when does Sophie take her seriously?
To be honest people bitch about Tedros being “on his period.” when he wanted Sophie dead, but I was rooting for him. Tagatha have their problems but Sophie amplifies them.
If Sophie’s not learning anything, then she’s not a good character - long-term at least. And I don’t want to have to force myself to keep reading her bullshit. I physically threw TLEA across my room when Sophie started degrading Agatha. I thank Sophie for one thing and one thing only; The moor scene.
Sophie’s a shit friend, period.
Which leads on to Tagatha. Why can’t these two just be happy? Seriously Soman let them breath for five fucking minutes. I’m sick of them falling out because Tedros takes a bitchfit over something so minute that could be solved in one conversation. Tedros isn’t 14 anymore - which to be honest it’s difficult for me to imagine the characters younger than me because I’ve literally grew through my high-school years with these books.
Edit: It is 2019 and I still haven’t touched it.

Plus the frames without lyrics
i think the main reason people dislike kabru is that they’re approaching dungeon meshi from the typical shounen protag framework where the main character is the moral authority and anyone who questions them MUST be a villain, but dungeon meshi is excellent at showcasing laios’ deep flaws and how he works to overcome them. from an outside perspective (kabru’s perspective) laios is dubious in morality and kabru says as much when he explains how laios is the only person he can’t seem to read. kabru doesn’t doubt laios because he’s plotting anything, he doubts laios because laios is a strange and offputting person who stumbles into a position of immense power and titular plot momentum, all of which kabru realizes well before anyone else, and which kabru also handles extremely apprehensively and delicately Because he doesn’t want to misjudge a strange but innocent man. basically if you dislike kabru you aren’t reading dungeon meshi right
The Iron Trio
Sure hope nothing bad happens to them *clown music intensifies*
I swear the magisterium series went so hard with saying you can bring someone back but you can’t fix death and then they ruined it
LITERALLY! For the age group, it was so raw and poignant and quite effective, in my opinion. Absolutely loved Aaron's brought back wrong story; i've never forgotten the descriptors of when he woke up and his hair and nails were longer because they'd kept growing in death, and how that clued Aaron in. and his screams. the way in the end, Aaron wasn't alive, he was under Call's control; Call told him not to talk about things like that, and he didn't. because he couldn't. Aaron didn't have free will, he had Call's will. the dawning horror when Call realized, and Aaron begging to be put to rest...favorite part of the series for me, I think
then they decided in book five actually we can fix death and are going to bring back Aaron perfectly fine this time <3
WHY. WHY did we do all that then. i HATE it. magisterium fandom unites around a hatred of the golden tower. in my heart aarons dead for real <3
GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ahem
For me personally, i just lost energy to participate, but i didnt expect everyone to disappear as well 😭😭😭
Some things comes to mind why it became inactive:
- book 6 and the movie. I genuinely thought that sge ended in book 3, surprise surprise theres more books. The release of book 6 felt like an end to an era. The conclusion to everything in sge. Fans can now rest easy now that the story is officially finished.
Then the movie came out, more content for us to rave over! A sense of nostalgia and excitement for the adaptation. Our favourite characters came to life!! Wow!!
The official ending of the series and a live action adaptation of it basically fulfilled what the fans could ever want. Its done, what else could we want?
- rise and fall of sge (i spoke too soon). Ill admit that i havent read it nor plan to read it, but for me personally it felt like milking the series till its dry. And with soman's track record with tcy, surely u can guess why others(me) wont read rfsge. I'm content with how sge ended and perfectly fine not knowing what happened in the prequel (this also applies to other sge related stuff that soman plans to release, like bro, enough, start a new one or smth let sge go/JJJ)
- the saddest but most realistic reason,, the fans grew up. Most of us read sge when we were younger, probably middle school or high school. Years has passed, we're mostly in college or graduated. We're either too busy to participate in the fandom, or simply moved on.
School for Good and Evil has been with me growing up and is very dear to me. But now that I'm older, there are more stories for me to enjoy. It's a chapter in my life that I'm ready to close but will look back fondly on.
I still had fun while it lasted, and i do miss it sometimes. I hope everyone also had fun or continue to enjoy the series! Yippee!!!
This month was the month....I joined a dead fandom...😞😞
Where is the school for good and evil (BOOK) fandom??
