Word of Honor Tiers: Fanfic Reader Edition

[forestsofpine]

A Word of Honor Tiermaker! I used similar tiers as for my Untamed tiers the other day. Vague spoilers if you haven't seen the drama or read the book.



I have complicated feelings of sympathy and betrayal towards Scorpion and my actual comments about him were too long to fit in the box, but amounted to, "I wish I could hate you, but the fic is too good." 😆

Again, I agree with that last ranking so much.

He's so terrible and yet he's so sympathetic. Like, yes, murderer and psychopath and all, but still, he deserved a little love and acknowledgement.

Yeah, I was rooting so hard for Scorpion to get away, and for awhile it looked like Qianqiao and Luo Fumeng might be getting through to him, but then he dug in deeper instead. I could forgive him a lot, but not his role in the massacre. However, orange_crushed is one of my favorite authors and now seems to be single-handedly dragging me back around on him with fics like Rowhome and In print. 😅

Hah, yes, Scorpion is one of those characters like Meng Yao, where they do truly reprehensible things but they're so full of potential and tipping points and sympathetic charisma. Makes for great fic.

[forestsofpine]

It really does! They're both great for canon divergence fic, and I love canon divergence fic, so it was probably inevitable that I'd come around on both of them.
