    It’s just fun, it’s not serious or hard fantasy. It could be much worse, a lot of people read Ayn Rand and think its good.

    It’s just like an izekai but for English reading children.

      Isekai is nothing new. Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe are all “isekai”. JK is a special kind of bad writer.

    It is but I’m not sure why they called the author a witch instead of a shitty author

    Even a dragon would make more sense because of the wealth hoarding

    number puzzles that need to be solved.

    In JK Rowling’s mind the number puzzles are things like “How many genders are there?”

    The correct answer, of course, is “Fuck you, JK Rowling, that’s how many.”

      So crazy that a woman who liberally employed the Polyjuice Potion in her novels and had ghosts who would just wander through the restrooms to talk to you would take some of the most insanely conservative positions on changing your appearance or using the toilet.

        She has been outspoken on the fact that her positions are basically due to personal trauma and nothing else
