His videos got me addicted to RoTK again, almost as soon as I think there's nothing left to draw me back to the era..

I recently joined his discord, and am planning on watching some of his videos but haven’t yet done so.

Have a question about a book or academic article before you buy it? Maybe I have it!
Check out my library here for a list of Chinese history resources I have on hand and my tumblr to see if I have reviewed it!

They're very superficial. Nothing to write home about.

Constructive criticism would be welcome. Do you think you can elaborate on what his videos are lacking?

Folks are entitled to their opinions on someone and don’t need to elaborate, eh? I can appreciate why someone isn’t interested in engaging deeply in a conversation of this sort.
