I've recently gotten into reading. I realised how much I love fiction, and a couple of tropes. So I'm here asking maybe some of you know any books that have them.
I love it when the story focuses more on world building rather than character. The theory crafting I can do in my head, or just before I sleep, is priceless.
Here I'll contradict myself by saying a character development related point, but the more important one. I'd like to read more works that show some mysterious big-bad first as a rivalry, later as a friend. They soften up with the MC and we they become friends or allies or whatever. We get to see a BBEG of sorts's friendly and weak side. I get that it's a bit childish, but I lost my mind of how cool of a character they made the first time I read it. Now, it was in a manga, so I'd love to read an example that made this best or first.
Thank you in advance, even if you just name some genres or authors.
Lol, my last line was a joke. A shot in the dark hoping you might get it. In the game Hollow Knight, there is a character called Hornet. She's getting a whole game, called Silksong. Anyways, the game only has sounds as voiceacting and Hornet says "Shaw" a lot. (You can try searching "Hornet Shaw" on Youtube if you're curious, but I warn you of the brainrot, the community is insane)
I already started with book#2. Was just planning on reading it a bit when I noticed your reply. It's written way to well for me to just drop it. I'll (try to) drop by when I'm done.
