not on the bucket list
We love visiting these settings in our imagination, but there is no chance we'd survive until the end of the story if we were actually there.
NPCs advised to stay away 😅

I love this!! I have always said I would never survive an apocalypse, I have 0 survival instincts
i'm barely hanging on in the real world, i wouldn't do well in a place where everything is out to get me 🫣😅
Oh god, same. If the world was ending tomorrow, I’d just leave my door unlocked and let it come for me. It would be a sign to just let go.
Also, love the list!! ❤️
LMAO literally!!
Same tbh. My survival instinct tells me to make like a tortoise and get in my shell (read: house). I'm done for. I guess I'm the guy that hides in the toilet and then gets eaten by the T-rex. 😭
Same, give me a quick easy death before things get too crazy, please and thank you
people say that they don't want to visit the city of nightmares but i'm built different
all jokes aside, i think one of the most fascinating/horrible world settings is in the fifth season
haha, i would definitely be a dead NPC in the City of Nightmares 😅
ooo, i just started reading that! i'm only a couple of pages in, so i wasn't sure - but now i'll definitely add it.
Would love any suggestions to add to this list! Looking for stories where the setting is interesting and deadly.
1984 and Handmaids Tale 👀 Ooo The Fifth Season?
totally! i've got The Fifth season, i'll add the others!
Woops missed that. Awesome!
Oh gosh, what a fun list! I'm sure I have a ton of books in my read list that would suit this theme. Off the top of my head though I think of The Shadow of the Gods and An Ember in the Ashes!
thank you for the recs! i'll add them now 💜
Having Jurassic Park on here is so funny and so accurate. Every time I go see the new movie my husband asks me why do they keep going to these dinosaur islands?! We know how it is going to go. 🤣😂🦖
🤣😅
Oh hell yeah! Love this list. And while I’d definitely go to Roshar given the chance, there is no way in hell you’d catch me on Canticle.
oh, 100% agree!!
Oh oh oh oh I thought of a great one that is also v funny. And Then There Were None
love it!
Basically all the books I read - lol. How about The Will of the Many.
I think Immortal Consequences is also a good one for this list!
This is a really fun list, Princess Goose, I am having the time of my life over here
thank you! and i appreciate you adding so much to it!! 💜
But Goose!!!!! The dinosaurs!!!!!! 😫💖
P sure geese are allergic to dinosaurs 🫣🤣
My dear Goose, geese are dinosaurs 🤣
Oh yeah 🤦♀️ I’m pretty sure I would be at the bottom of the food chain 😅
On the contrary, I think geese are near the top with the emus and cassowaries 😭
