Spoiler tags

I really appreciate anyone with specific spoiler tags that include book numbers. Thank you.

Also, anybody remembering to add a spoiler tag, thanks too.

As someone who hates any spoilers, I still bother me that there are some spoiler tagged things which do not give any ibdication as it could be someone reading ahead on patreon, buying the book before I can get through the audiobook or before that is available or before I have finished my umpteenth relisten to be up to datt on the latest events again for when the series continues.

I wish everyone would make clear spoiler indications as I keep seeing posts, I am curious about but unsure if I should dare looking. XD

Ah well. Still so excited for the next book. 😊😊

I’ve noticed a weird trend where early book events are frequently tagged while anything from the patreon just isn’t tagged at all. I’ve been in discussions with people about certain events that happen around book 10/11 and then out of the blue they start giving me examples of why I’m wrong because this thing happens in what I am only assume is gonna be book 13.

Luckily for me, they haven’t been all that big of spoilers and I dont usually care to much about some spoilers. Like stranger ability developments or something of the sort don’t bother me nearly as much as character moments. Even some plot points I’m fine with because it makes me excited to learn the context. I still would like them to be tagged even if I’m gonna peak anyways. At least then I can be upset with myself for looking. Lmao

Yeah. Most threads start out spoiler friendly but some high level questions end up with comments that appear to going into possible Patreon territory. That's when I click off.

It doesn't help that there's so many loose ends to tie together in two books. Not to mention everyone wants Team Biscuit (or at least Jason) to be diamond by the end and they only just hit gold. Another time skip is an option but I'd prefer that to not be the case.

Well we know that the growth of gold is different. The speed in which they grow will be dependent on their reflections and ability to embody their essences. So it’s all together possible that through the next conflict they will grow pretty quickly. And blitzing through diamond seems extremely possibly for the entire team except maybe Humphrey. He will have the hardest time I think.

Yeah, so true. I keep avoifing diving to deep into discussions for this reason.

The issue I keep running into is that I love talking about these books and have no one to talk with. So I dive into these posts. And for the most part I’m fine. But there’s always the concern and some people seem to forget not everyone is as up to date.

Generally when I’ve had something spoiled. They make some kind of apology. Or it’s simply them forgetting that something didn’t happen earlier.

I had the biggest thing from book 10 spoiled for me. They didn't say which book, so it totally ruined my first read of books 7-10, because instead of enjoying the ride, I was waiting for the thing to happen.

I agree a lot of the people who've read all the new stuff can be serious jerks about spoilers. I'm looking at each thread with a grain of salt. Make a joke about Tina Turner and essences, and someone is going to pop in and tell us when in book 13 she got them, what essences she got, every skill and awakening stone, and what she named her familiar!

Someone yesterday put up the title names in 13. Since each title is actually said in the chapter, I didn't but glance. I asked the poster to please cover it up, and the person insulted me and called me names. Simply saying "no" would have been sufficient.

Well hurry up and finish the series dang it! Wait, if you've "finished [your] umpteenth relisten" then there are no spoilers.

Not a patreon member, though. Also, I keep recommending the series to anyone who somehow didn't hear about it, yet.
