Do you want an epic, decades-long fantasy story about a diverse group of unlikely and resilient heroes, a group without a single member who isn't either a POC, queer, or neurodivergent (or at least heavily implied to be one of those)? How about a story with multiple physically disabled characters in important roles, including one who gives crucial aid to the protagonists and one who serves as a terrifyingly effective villain? Do you want to see these characters grow and change and reveal new sides of themselves, and rise to a challenge that at first seems utterly beyond their abilities? Do you want to see a unique fantasy world with deep worldbuilding, rendered in an incredible art style, with a purposefully chosen blend of historical and modern fantasy elements (and careful justification for what might seem out of place)? Do you want a story that questions the assumptions of other fantasy settings and takes them to pieces? (The results can be brutal - but absolutely worth it!) A story that tackles authoritarianism, bigotry, religion (and its costs), sexism, gender, and more - all without letting the narrative get so dark and heavy that it loses sight of its idealistic goals? Do you want a story about defying death, fate, and the gods themselves - about changing a supposedly unchangeable world in the face of overwhelming odds? Then you want this media!
Girlbosses? Robots? Multiple queer coded characters, including a trans coded character? “Old” man yaoi? Doomed yuri? Childhood best friends? Multiple autistic coded characters? A hint of existential dread and horror? Murder mysteries? Tragic and heart wrenching backstories? If these sound up your alley, you’ll LOVE this media!
