After the revolution thoughts

[u/misterzigger]

To preface this, im heavily enjoying After the Revolution, and I regularly listen to BtB. I'm roughly about half way through the released episodes on Spotify.

After the Revolution does an excellent job of creating an atmosphere, and specifically using workd building to intertwine futuristic cyberpunk concepts with possible outcomes of current society. Its brilliant in its use of nuance to ask what could happen. I enjoy most of the characters, and am pretty excited to see what comes in the future for this series.

With that being said, I think the dialogue has major issues. None of the conversations seem natural or realistic. Conversations between Manny and Reggie are extremely predictable, and I find I lose immersion whenever a character speaks. Even beyond that, the inner dialogue for Roland I find very cheesy and cliche. I think if Robert works out the dialogue for the second book, it could be an all time favorite series for me

I'd like to commend the community for respectfully discussing the criticism rather than jumping to a knee-jerk obnoxious defence of dear leader.

the only criticism I want deleted from here is people being shitty to guests. it's fine to day "x ain't doing it for me" but i don't want to tolerate people being mean to them. (guests are paid now, so they're not volunteering their time, but still.)
