Hey mr duke, i just wanna pop in and say that my soul gets a kick of nostalgia from reading pure of mind whenever i listen to Headlock by Imogen Heap. I dunno why that’s the case but I suddenly remember the story whenever it plays.

@TheDukeOfWolves I just read the synopsis for Red Rising and it looks interesting, i’ll go give it a read. Thanks for the recommendation! :)

@Shinku_Kishi LOL, I really love that trope too. There are so many anti-heroes that I think we should go back to more "good" ones. If you want an actual novel series to read, I recommend Red Rising by Pierce Brown. It's what inspired me to write in the first place, and it's also where I found my "voice" for my writing

@TheDukeOfWolves DUDEEE I have to fight the urge to re-read the entire thing because I know in my heart that i'll need that second read for myself in the future. Its so bittersweet and I just can't help but smile to myself remembering the story, I just wish we can get back to those days when writing/reading comprised most of our time too. I'm holding my hope that things will get back to normalcy, and we'll be back to writing and reading again!! On a side note, I also just want to mention a quick thanks for introducing me to the Hurting Hero Trope, where heroic deeds consequently demands sacrifices from oneself. I think its very chivalrous and really adds value to the character for all the sacrifices they do for others. Pure of mind really introduced me to that rabbit hole and to this day, I have a backlog of books that ive been meaning to read with that trope LOL. Or maybe i'm just finding something to replicate the experience I had with Pure of mind LOL. Nothing ive encountered had ever come close to that i'm tellin ya, and I have read a ton!
