A deep dive into MANACLED by SENLINYU (explaining the plot part 1) 

I would not take out or change a single thing in Manacled. Yes, it is a very long worth reading book. I feel that Everything in this book is needed for you to understand the characters better. The situations that they have to deal with and the choices they have to make. This book is breathtaking. It's so beautifully written. ❤

9:25 Umbridge doesn't bring her meals, they just appear at random times. She hasn't heard a sound or seen light in 16 months

I’ve been dying for someone to give a deep dive like this, i can’t wait for part 2 of your deep dive 🥳

omgg girl i’m so here for this i got maybe 10 chapters into manacled? and i just couldn’t commit to reading the whole thing it seemed so insane so thank u LOL

I never liked fanfiction, but I was very impressed on how good it was. It read like an actual book.

Thank you so much for this, I was too scared to read it but very curious. Your explanation is so interesting and well thought out. Love the quotes as well. Thank you!!!!!

It's great! I have never seen such a deep analysis! Keep it up!

thank u so much for this!!! i need part 2 asap cause ive just started to read it again after taking a few months break. i was in the middle of reading the flashbacks (im on flashback 17) and i cant remember the beginning of the flashbacks for the life of me 😭

Thank You!!! I was waiting for someone to do this book

This is amazing! I'm waiting for part 2

I was waiting for your new video today only and it came ! Idk why, but seeing you rant about books is my comfort therapy !😂❤

Hi there! I just wanted to thank you for this video. I very rarely leave comments on anything, but I figured I should drop one on this. About a couple of months ago, I grabbed lunch with an old friend from university, and we started talking about books we've been reading since we last saw each other (which was more than a year at that point). She then started talking about HP fanfiction, and was raving about Manacled. For some context, I'm a guy who's not really into fanfiction. I mostly read "boring" stuff like the shit that would be in a high school or university curriculum (much to my friend's disappointment lol). I'm also admittedly not the biggest HP fan. I read the books when they were at the height of their popularity and I watched the movies, but I've stopped engaging with the franchise after that. However, while I will likely not read SenLinYu's work, I did promise my friend that I'll at least watch a synopsis or a literary analysis of it. I then completely forgot about that promise until about a month ago. I was listening to my Spotify playlist at work, and Kendrick's Not Like Us came up (I got pretty invested in the beef, as Kendrick's one of my GOATs). Out of everything that could've reminded me of my promise, it was Kendrick's line in the third verse (about chains/slaves/Atlanta) that made me remember about Manacled lmao, so I figured I should look for a video online about it. I randomly picked this video because I figured that a 1 hour analysis was a good enough summary of the first few sections of the fanfic. However, I started getting a bit invested halfway through this first video, so I just said fuck it and watched your Parts 2 and 3 videos as well. Anyway, your three videos were a delight to watch. The way you've enthusiastically described Manacled must mean SenLinYu did the HP universe justice with their work. Also, it's really cool that The Handmaid's Tale was a huge inspiration for Manacled (as a Canadian, Margaret Atwood is one of our best exports). I really appreciate the efforts you've taken to summarize and express your thoughts on Manacled. Also, I sincerely apologize for the long comment! I am also going to preemptively apologize now if I end up posting another long-ass comment in the future. Thanks again, and I hope that you're having a wonderful day!

Came across this video after a lot of the reviews I was watching were too critical and I didn’t want it to be to critical!! I finished reading manacled after I wanted to get back into reading and briefly remembered everyone talking about it on tiktok. I tried to explain it to one of my friends but she hadnt even read Harry Potter at all so it didn’t make sense to her and after my 10 minutes of voice memos explaining she was too confused 🤣 We turned on this video and it automatically felt like another girl in the friend group was explaining it perfectly. The rhythm you explained everything was so comfortable and I loved your takes on it all. I’m still trying to get over the manacled hangover 🤕 🤞🏻 Wish me luck! And you gained another subscriber ❤

I can't wait for part two!

Wow thank you so much for making this video. I was gaggggggged. This felt like we are friends just ranting about fanfics 😂

I love this story so much thank you for making a video on it to help me recover from my post read depression lol

I've never been into Harry Potter, I had a brief phase where I watched the movies but since I never read the books I know I'm super uninitiated. But this is soooooo interesting. We love quality fan fic.. ❤

I feel like one of the only people who didn't like this book. The characters were ruined and I couldn't suspend my disbelief. It'd be better as an original story. Amazing videos!

Another great video i refuse to read these books when your reviews are this fire 😂😂😂😂

I cannot remember that in any of the books it was said you really need to want it when you use avada kedrava. Bellatrix says that about crucio...where did I miss that information?

Give me more RIGHT NOW PLEASEEEE

It was too dark for my taste but thanks for the video I was really curious about the plot

i've never read the harry potter books or even watched the movies(ik ik it's just something that never peaked my interest) , i tried reading manaclad last year and dnfed it multiple times but i am always here to watch a diemmi video!!! ( i will definitely give another try once i will watch the entire 3 videos) love the video girl

I read it in 5 days. Didn't realize it was that long 😅😅

Listen to the stephen fry HP audiobooks theyre so good

What chapter did you end with??

There are 77 chapters in all.

"They're able to have that filler because these authors release their books per chapter per week." Most of us are out here waiting months between chapter releases for some of the best-written fic.
