orv 100%

my opinion, read orv and then go for lotm, orv is amazing with great characters great worldbuilding and plot right, (phenomenal writing aswell), lotm is quite similar too- its more focused on the plot and mystery aspect. both are amazing but just start with orv lol. lotm is a chinese novel, and usually chinese novels are a tad bit slow paced. its because of the way the mandarin language is written. once you savour the beautiful story that orv is, you will enjoy lotm i feel

Both are amazing but I think you should go for ORV first, LOTM is much longer then other novels and its a lot wordier too, I took like three months reading LOTM but I think that was also because it was during school too lol. The world building in LOTM is quite, well, "huge" and there are a lot of arcs too. Anyways, both are really really really good stories but it would be be better I think to read ORV first since its shorter than LOTM.


And as one of those who worships Lord Fool, The Fool that doesn’t belong to this era; The Mysterious Ruler above the Gray Fog; The King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck, I dearly welcome you to our little tarot club.

I hope you enjoy the world of LOTM once you read it.

Okay, thanks

I don't mind slow paced novel, but that's a good point thankyouu

That's a good reason

I can't wait to read LOTM after ORV! Thank you so much

Thank you guys, I'll be reading ORV first and then LOTM

I STILL refuse to watch it because I remember watching it years ago and everytime I saw like a reminder of it I was so sad. I say if you really want to but I wouldn’t

Bro i was like 13 when i first watched it, it gave me so much pain as a child i stopped eating and cried for days cause wtf was that (i was recommended by someone they said its happy friendly anime give it a watch, then i was shot 57 times) i still haven't re watched it after that, i just can't, cause now as an adult, with more understanding, it will just inflict more trauma so my suggestion is dont do that to yourself lol

I cried so much, i love the anime and manga but i cannot bring myself to go through it again. But it is a masterpiece

Same, it's been years but it still makes me sad thinking about it, I don't really want to, it's just been a while..

13 ? Omg
I also cried for days especially after reading angel eyes (my first manga ever) and everything else, I was in pain

Stawp, not someone recommending it to you that it's was a friendly anime, that's so cruel but my friend would do the same, I would have trust issues though, I'm sorry, and the shot 57 times is so real cause same, I also can't seem to rewatch it since then, thanks though, let's save ourselves from trauma, lol

It is!!

Thanks for replying y'all ♡

YEA LOLLLL and the recommendation was given by an online friend I love the characters way too much thts why i have never rewatched it (since dont wanna get reminded wht they went thru)

rewatch it. i rewatched banana fish at different ages and stages in life and u see the anime in a different light each time. despite its depressing themes, its still an amazing story and good experience in rewatching it! u will think about it for a while after tho.

That's such a good reason, I also love them too much to see them hurt again ╥﹏╥

I love your reason too, I will consider it when I need something to make me cry my eyes out, thank you ♡

ain't gonna rewatch it, watching ash getting touched by the old man was too painful (i actually vomit when i first watched it)

Fr, It was so painful and disgusting
