Sorry if this has been made a ton but I'd like to know; which Arc did you hate the most or were just generally disappointed in (like you had high hopes and then your hopes were crushed)? I've been seeing people saying the last half of AVoS and TBC a lot in older threads so I think those are the ones that are going to be voted the most. So which Arc did you hate the most and why?

LOL I know this is so controversial but TBC is my least favorite. I think it's worse than AVOS. The pacing of TBC is so bad and Squirrelflight was more of a main character than the actual MCs. I don't blame you. I didn't like TBC as much either.

TNP was honestly just annoying to read about. I mean, I loved the prophecy and all, but it just bored me.

AVOS. The first 5 books were fine and then the trash out of character book The Raging Storm came out and destroyed the whole arc for me. I also didn’t care for the whole SkyClan coming to the lake thing. They were fine at the gorge and should have stayed there. I’m also not a fan of Twigbranch or Violetshine as pov characters. They are fine cats but I never got into them and found them rather boring and irritating. I personally would have made the DawnCrow kits the protagonists since they were major in everything going on in ShadowClan and I feel like they and their parents and grandfather were treated like crap and disregarded like crap in favor of TigerDove and their family. I will always be angry with the way Rowanstar, Crowfrost, Dawnpelt, Juniperclaw, Strikestone, and Sleekwhisker were thrown aside the way they were to benefit characters a gazillion times less interesting. Overall AVOS had a lot of wasted potential that was never really explored and characters that should have had more focus on were tossed aside for less interesting characters.

You know you screwed up when half of the arc is forgettable and the other half a rushed mess.
The POVs aren't that great here either too. People like Twig, Violet, and Needle why?

AVoS, no contest (for me).
The first half was pretty good, especially the third book. But then they killed off the main villain Darktail in that same book and thus mid arc which led to things just going downhill for it from there. Don't get me wrong, I love the SkyClan content and them rejoining the other four Clans. But Sleekwhisker was a weak excuse of a glorified sidekick/henchman villain in book five and Tigerstar II was just so freaking annoying/infuriating in the finale.

Can't decide between AVOS and TBC. They're both so terrible in many different ways, and it's really hard to pick which one is worse or that I hate more. But I find myself complaining about TBC more often, so let's go with that.

AVoS for basically all the reasons everyone above said. OotS is a close contender, but to it's credit it didn't kill off the main villain halfway through.

Surprised TBC is second on this poll. It's also second on the best arc debate thread. TBC is simultaneously loved and hated? It just proves that You-Know-Who is the most controversial character in the series lol

This is probably controversial, but it's The New Prophecy for me...an absolute snoozefest with a shitty ending that was completely out of character for the main guy. OOTS was a mess and stupid, but at least it could be entertaining. It's the second worst for sure, though. Not sure what's up with the sudden AVOS hate again.

Dawn of the clans. I would have preferred a super edition, or more novellas/field guide short stories. It was too slow and the characters were all boring or just terrible. One of the main draws of WC is the structure of the world building. Without that it doesn't feel like WC.

I changed my vote to Dawn of the Clans due to the hypocrisy of that arc and the way certain characters mostly she-cats and kitty pets were treated. With the exception of the Raging Storm I actually enjoyed AVOS I can't say the same for Dawn of the Clans. The Sun Trail and Path of Stars were decent but the other four were difficult to read.

So I'd have to say AVOS. For some reason I can't connect with Twigbranch at all. Violetshine I love, but I just couldn't connect with Twigbranch. Now I like Twigbranch as a character, she's great, but for some reason her POV was tough to read. Also I didn't like Darktail at all. Unpopular opinion alert, but River of Fire and Raging Storm were my favorite books out of AVOS. I will say one thing I liked about AVOS was the impact of Sandstorm's death, especially how Alderheart reacted to it.

[from the perspective of someone who followed the plot but didnt directly read the books] TBC. 100% no offense meant to people who liked it, the main characters sounded interesting and some aspects seemed intriguing. and i admit i thought the fact they brought ASHFUR back was hilarious at first. but see. thats the problem. ashfur coming back as a main villain felt like a joke and still does to me.
