who was Victor Sells? Why is Harry Dresden looking for his daughter? Can I reach the same level of immersion if I read the whole series and watch the anime?
>>25215513I haven't actually read it, but I was trying to piece together the information and it seems Victor forces his wife to participate in orgies, so it's implied he indirectly rapes women in the series. Not sure why the schizo thought he was raping his daughter, but it may be his fanfiction. We know he had previous charges of harassing children, so it's probably projection. I've known many schizos who obsess over child rape because they're secretly paedophiles.
>>25215513I legitimately really really like this series, first few books aren't really good but man the quality is top notch from then on. Good blend of humour and action. I find it hard to recommend to people but I definitely want to>>25215652He's the villain of the first book, a rogue wizard (not part of the official wizard society / club making him a warlock) who starts dabbling in magic and starts manufacturing a drug that gives normies wizard sight.He never forced his wife to do those things nor rape people, he kinda just abandoned her to go do this iirc. He got in contact with a couple that hated the mob boss he got into a territory spat over his magic drug trade and said mob boss' regular drug trade and convinced them to bone each other so he could channel their lust and rage into kill spells to start sabotaging the mob boss' business, because natural phenomena like thunderstorms and strong emotions are good magic batteries in the setting. I think the schizo was just a fan of the series or read the first book some time recently (cause honestly most Dresden Files fans don't even like Stormfront that much for it to even stick in our memory) because Victor Sells is super forgettable when you got villains like Nicodemus, He-Who-Walks-Before and the VampiresJim Butcher has two other good book series that being Codex Alera (born from a bet that Butcher could not write a good story based on a lame idea, him saying he could and that he'd even write a story based on two lame ideas so the guy challenging him chose "Lost Roman Legion", and "Pokémon" which honestly sums up the series surprisingly well)and Cinder Spires (steampunkish setting about crystal energy weapons and airships, in a world where the ground is covered by mist and all of humanity lives on giant towers. Writing is better than the setting I'll tell you that much)
>>25217807Just got done with the sixth book.I don't like how sometimes the C plot has literally nothing to do with the investigation.In this one, Mavra's goons attack Dresden a couple times, he puts together a team, and then they just walk in and kill her except they don't. Nothing from the fight carries over into the main plot so why is it even there?Another example that comes to mind is the gang from Fool Moon who can go berserk mode. They show up twice and then are never relevant again.Even if it's setup for later books, it feels cheap within the current story.
>>25215513>the irl chud was larping as a character from a book named "stormfront"My sides are in orbit how is this real
