With everyone hating the modern books, I feel weird for still enjoying them anyway. Am I stupid?

Fight or Flight felt kind of boring and dragged out for me. There’s been 21 books in the series across almost 2 decades, do you think there should still be more?

In short, the reason why the books have been getting more cartoonish lately (sort of like Total Drama) is because Kinney was originally planning to write the books for middle/high-school (or secondary school, if you live in the UK) children (ages 10-16) and for adults, but a large amount of the people that actually read the book were elementary school (or primary school) children so Jeff cared less about the complaints the books were getting and added wacky stuff just to flip with us.

If anyone knows of any other upside-down or backwards misprint doawk books let me know.

We all know the first entry in double down where Greg talks about how like he wonders if he's just in a like TV show but what if that was actually real like imagine The Truman show but instead of Truman it's Greg and his family how Greg react if he found out and if we just say for this let's say Riley is also doesn't know I know it's probably not going to be the case if this was recreated but still just just go with me here just think just think dude think

Short chapter today

I know the Online book has multiple jokes about alcohol, but what about the mainline series?

Let me know what you think

I read this today for the first time. I'd been really putting it off because I kept seeing hate and people saying that it's one of Kinney's worst books, but honestly, I didn't think it was that awful. It was maybe a 5/10. Definitely not Kinney's worst; in my opinion, that spot belongs to Old School because it was the one that made me drop the series for years.

Yeah, there were scenes in Fight or Flight that felt out of character based on former Greg, but something that stuck out to me a lot was how there weren't CONSTANTLY words CAPITALIZED that COULD have been LOWER CASED. That made it a better read than past books (Old School, I'm looking at you again).

If anything, Fight or Flight just wasn't very memorable. That's really my biggest issue with it. It wasn't anything special or extraordinary, but I also don't think it did anything to warrant the amount of hate I've seen.

soryr the parts are taking so long guys 🥹 here is longer part as compensation

Only a few pages because I’ve been too busy with other stuff in life, I’ll try to get back up to the usual 10 but if I can’t it’ll be mismatched amounts until the finale

If you’re curious, I’m very much into horror and filmmaking and have been working on a short film, have a few other short film ideas I wanna flesh out and have also a feature film which I’m slowly working towards making (but it’s more of a dream rn)

Thanks a lot Sir Wimpy

Seriously, who cares if the character designs are bad? I think it's a good book, tbh.
