I finally find my bookmark of this sporking, sit down to read, and can't get over how horrible the book is.

Now, I'd recently gotten a couple volumes I missed in the .hack fandom, and I'm regretting it so badly. Just when I think I've facepalmed enough at the Sue, the bits that make me think "the author has read too many romance novels", the illogical thinking behind the main PC's existence, "realistic" deaths that haven't happened in any .hack games, the whole stupid thing that reeks of Suedom (people looking on in disgust, almost all the time, at a beautiful, skillful woman PC)... I read these recaps and cringe.

I used to have words for how awful HoN was, but they're gone. I can barely read the recaps without going insane. I'm surprised you can write them in the first place.

At least I can read the dang volumes now. Still painful, but they're not as bad as this atrocity to literature. I've probably said this before, but kudos to you for doing these sporkings.

Oi... Two chapters to go.

(Sorry for the rambling up there. The books bring out all my ranting.)
