I'm inclined to agree with most of your assessments.

For Fantasy, though, I'm inclined to nominate Shami Stovall's "Time-Marked Warlock", a good Groundhog Day-inspired urban fantasy. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

For tv series, I'm thinking "My Hero Academia". Deku is a truly great aspirational heroes. And Shigaraki is a truly broken and evil SOB.

No idea what to do about games. I'd be very interested to hear some suggestions.

I've read Shami. I like Shami. Read Paxton Locke. We'll talk after. I think you'll concur that Toil and Trouble is better.

My Hero Academia... how many seasons is it? Also, where would I find it?

Can Toil and Trouble be read without the earlier installations? Or should I start at the beginning?

My Hero Academia has seven seasons so far and several movies (the fourth just came out). It's on Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Apple TV, I believe. Also, the first four seasons are on Netflix.

I always recommend starting at the beginning, but if you want to jump right on in, it should be okay.

I'd recommend Silo for Best Science Fiction or Fantasy TV Series, TV or Internet - it's an adaption of Wool by Hugh Howey! Brilliant worldbuilding, cinematography, tension, and acting. Post-apocalyptic, mystery with plenty of plot twists.

God willing, I'm going to post a counter offer for Best Cover. It has to be out by July of this year. If not... See you in 2026

Just for precision's sake, what you want has to be out by the last day of June. If it's July 1st, it's 2026.
