i voted no because the last two arcs (AVOS and TBC), in my opinion, have been real bad. i'll continue to have low expectations for the next one too. even with my long awaited riverclan main pov, i still have little to no hope it'll be good overall.
edit: forgot to add that since events from previous arcs usually tend to tie into the current one, i have low hope there too because to me, TBC is such garbage that anything important that happened from there might show up in the next arc, so...RIP

I have hope, but not enough, considering how often the editing team likes to play things safe and rehash old content/concepts to us in a new way and saying "here, take it." It's frustrating, especially the "building up new characters only to shove them out of the way for old ones." It's why I didn't read TBC. (idk if this next part counts as spoilers but just to play it safe ig) I was planning to but when it became about old characters with Bramble-Squirrel-Ash, I changed my mind.

saying “yes” because the protagonists make me excited. also, after darktail and ashfur, i feel like the erins are getting way better at writing villains so i’m excited to see who comes next.
also mistystar is on the cover of the first book

I mean, there's always a chance. I don't think it's a HIGH chance for me personally because I prefer the prequely books in wc usually but like I never know.

Probably not, Dubious at best if I’m being honest. If it even scratched my top 5 I’d be doing good, but I’m always hopeful and keep some degree of optimism that they’ll surprise and impress me, although nothing since Vicky Holmes left has really come close, AVoS was pretty good for the first half, albeit a pretty mediocre climax, but I’ve seen worse, and the latter half honestly wasn’t too terrible imo, at least Darkest nights I enjoyed, the last 2 just really dragged on and felt rather pointless. TBC had a really solid start with the first 2 books……………………but then gradually deteriorated afterwards to where it was basically a combination of watching a blank TV screen and watching paint dry, I quite frankly had to force feed myself through the last 3 books, it was quite unpleasant, although I did find myself laughing at numerous moments. However, it was mostly in a painful manner and out of bathos and not from much genuine enjoyment, it did have some redeeming truly funny moments and some fan service, but overall flopped. DoTC is probably the closest to comparing to the older arcs for me, and even it became rather repetitive and dragged out in the latter half, but still pretty enjoyable.
At this point I’m probably not even going to Buy River on release, instead I’ll most likely buy a like new copy online when someone inevitably buys it, reads it once, then sells it since I’m finding it difficult to support Harpercollins directly, since my opinions on them is becoming more and more akin to my feelings about Activision Blizzard inc. which is remarkably bleak to put it mildly. I’ll get the first book to ASC, see what kind of expectations it lays down, then decide from there.

Because of my principle that nothing after TLH is canon, no arc published after 2012 can be in my top 4. But ASC absolutely has potential to be my #5. It just has to beat AVoS, which shouldn't be that hard.

I'm not sure if it would beat DotC and TBC, but I definitely think it could be my 3rd favorite arc.

I highly doubt that, seeing that TPB and DoTC exist, but I'm positive I'll still enjoy it.

I'll give the concept a fair shake,but honestly I'm starting to actively despise modern media's tendency to rely on sUbVeRsInG mY eXpEcTaTiOnS, so if it plays into that too much, I might be out for good.

I voted yes but my real answer is "maybe", I'm excited for it and have high hopes, but I know I'll probably be disappointed, right now my hopes will be that I'll enjoy the whole arc as much as I enjoyed Shattered Sky, I don't have TPB level of good hopes for it.

Almost certainly not. Since the first series, it seems like the authors struggle to create original plots in the modern Clan structure. I also don't love the heavy supernatural element (especially since the rules concerning the supernatural in Warriors are unclear), and they seem to be relying more and more on that. Unless they drastically change how they approach the story and the characters, this arc will probably be mediocre at best.

I am not going to vote because it is really too early to tell for me. We really don't know all that much about the arc, and I suppose it could have potential to become my favorite. I highly doubt it because it would have to be better than TPB, but we haven't even gotten the first book yet. I feel like it would be unfair to say it is going to suck when I haven't gotten to read any of them yet at all, but given the track records of the past few arcs I'm not extremely optimistic. Regardless of whether it will be the best arc or not I know I will enjoy reading them as they come out.

No. While I'm still hoping that ASC will be a good arc, nothing can ever replace TPB and DotC for me. Neither of those is even my number one favorite but my actual favorite arc TNP (mostly for nostalgia) has still been easily surpassed when it comes to quality by PoT in terms of character development and TBC in terms of plot.

There's always a chance! I think it would be hard to knock DotC off the top spot but I enjoyed the last arc for all it's issues and think it posed a couple of interesting questions. I can't say I for sure believe they will answer those questions in a way I think makes sense or would personally choose to but I'm here for the ride for now. If I don't enjoy them I'll just drop them like I did for AVOS but so far I'm interested.

Hmm I don't think it will but it definitely intrigues me more than AVOS or TBC (both of which I still have to read). I doubt it would win top spot over DoTC though Cx

I liked book #1, book #2 and book #3 of TBC but then it just falls flat in book #4. Book #5 slightly recovered the earlier greatness of the first half of TBC but then it falls flat once more in book #6.
Other than that, I have a great hope that ASC will be a awesome arc!

I'm honestly not sure. I liked TBC but it didn't become my favorite- ASC will probably hit the top five though.

TBC slammed its way into neck and neck with the top spot, if ASC can match it, then that's good. It's good to see Warriors back on track instead of spinning its wheels in the mire like the disaster that was AVOS's second half or, much as I hate to say it, OOTS's unfocused (but still enjoyable!) jumble of plot threads.

It’s really hard to say. Book 1 isn’t even out yet. DOTC is still my favorite arc, TBC is second favorite though.

I don't know, I'm already a bit ticked they didn't consider WindClan when deciding on who to make POV clans. I know it will probably be better than TBC, my memories regarding when those books were coming out made it where I can never enjoy that arc. I have pretty high hopes for ASC though, but also pretty low expectations.

TBC was a dumpster fire and no one can convince me otherwise. AVoS felt boring.
DotC was the final peak in my opinion, so far nothing's come close to the level of that or the first arcs, so my hopes aren't too high for ASC
I'm mainly excited to see the RiverClan povs. Pray Mistystar and Mothwing don't take over the arc like a certain problematic duo...

Pray Mistystar and Mothwing don't take over the arc like a certain problematic duo... since mistystar is probably gonna die this book i’m really hoping they focus on her just enough to give her a good sendoff. but also if we just straight up got an entire mistystar centric arc i think i’d be having the time of my life lol
