Since there are no new IFs for me to read so far, is Bastard of Camelot worth reading? I like Arthurian tales but seeing it being discussed in 'Stories That Left You Disappointed for a Reason' is making me reconsider...
You should judge it by your own, I think. Come here if you have something to complain about the IF, that's what we do here. You've seen a glimpse of what's in it.
Personally, this IF is frustrating to read. The cast is... bland and the story is packed with an immersion breaking amount of — gotta find the words in English — modernism, I guess? And they make Arthur a soppy c8nt who couldn't stand straight without Merlin's geriatric *** backing him up.
Morgana may be vindictive but there's truth to what she said. Merlin's sus as hell, the type that be pulling the strings behind the curtains, but maybe that's just me.
So to recap, Morgana's entire family was wiped by Uther, the man forcefully wed his mother and bore Arthur. Then she was sold off to some jackass of a noble, forced to have child with said noble while a traitor took over her home. Plotted to have a revenge child (that is the MC) when she found out Arthur was Uther's secret son, fled when Arthur doesn't want to acknowledge MC.
She has every f8cking reason to hate the entirity of Camelot. For some reason people just brush off her entire lore because what? She can stand for herself and fight back to the people that wronged her? Using her child is not ideal but MC is, ultimately, the heir to the throne. Her only chance to make it right.
