User blog comment:The Jacked Maverick/The Downfall of The Freshman/@comment-3195798-20180902021802

That was a nice read. I don't really agree with what you said because I think The Freshman series was bad from the very beggining, but I agree that it went even further downhill within the time.

I actually think it got worse in book 3. Book 4 was totally filler and unecessary. But all the drama in book 3? Oh, boy, that drama! So terrible written. I wanted them to reboot that series so that I never had to see the MC and the main cast EVER AGAIN!

What makes me so pissed about this book and Red Carpet Diaries is that they force drama on us by dumbing down the MCs. They purposefuly start to make all the bad choices that are so obviously bad that I can only shake my head.

I don't even remember what happened in The Sophomore anymore. Just that I hated the drama involving Tyler and Abbie. Abbie was the worst character in those books. But then PB decided to redeem her by making Tyler the worst character in The Senior! Amazing line of thought, PB. That's how you should do things! Do you want us to forgive a hateful character? Make us hate even more another character!

I actually thought Becca was an interesting character during The Freshman books. Her change was totally forced, imo, and I don't like her anymore.

I agree with you when you say that the Alpha Theta Mu thing was the best thing in The Senior. That and Sebastian. I actually now think that Sebastian is the best character in the series. Unfortunaly, the conclusion to the Alphas was very disappointing. PB had to rush the book's ending because of all the negative feedback it was getting.
