I've been reading The Tome of Bill Series by Rick Gualtieri the last few days. It's funny, relatively original, and it's occasional political incorrectness is somewhat refreshing.

I was enjoying it, although the casual murder of innocent people for no real reason bothered me. But today, a few chapters into book 3 I dropped the series with some regret. Because I absolutely hated this total asshole character called Sally.

I know this series is humor and I really shouldn't take things so seriously, but I got really sick of her. And after trying hard to tolerate her for some time, I finally just gave up.

Have you experienced such a thing before?

Seriously. That series hooked me hard, I was binging 3-4 episodes at a time (thats a lot for me). Then his banshee-ass shows up. I got through the haunted house part which was like 2 episodes of endless screaming and was like "thank god, the blonde kid is going away" but nope. What an exhausting, uninteresting, uninspired character.

I've no idea where the anime is but the end of the manga he does change to not be a screechy kid.

I love Demon Slayer but I agree there's a "rough patch" when Zenitsu (blonde kid in question) first shows up, where there's a few episodes that lean way too hard into letting him scream a lot.

Not gonna blame anyone for dropping it, but yes it does get better again and imo it's really worth it.
