#literally my not finding the protag/antag dynamics I wanted to read was precisely why I began writing it

[the-modern-typewriter]

Just a brief anecdote based on your most recent posted anon that I thought you might find amusing- one time I was talking with someone about protag/antag dynamics and how they're some of my favorites in media. They mentioned that they hadn't seen that dynamic very often and I was like "huh, weird! I've read so many, I see it all the time!" And then when I was thinking of examples I realized that. I was just remembering your whole catalog of work which I love dearly and have read all of (I'm a long time subscriber to your patreon as well). A slight spiders georg moment

oh my god

am I villain spiders georg

not exactly the same, but here are four books with good protag/antag vibes:

Summer sons by Lee Mandelo

Dark Rise/Dark Heir by C.S Pascat

The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by V.E Schwab

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

#i do find this amusing #be the change you want to see in the world #literally my not finding the protag/antag dynamics I wanted to read was precisely why I began writing it #so always happy for further recs #i just love it so much when it's done well #the variation #the complexity and the nuance #and i don't mean oh the villain is actually a poor misunderstood baby and the hero's side is secretly evil arc #as much as that also entertains me and has worth #i love a genuine villain (at least at the start) who is also so ambiguous and genuine in the connection they have with the hero of the stor
