Sirius

Posted in: 2024 posts | I am So Annoyed | Manga | My Fangirl Side | Reading | Web Novels

Reading updates~~~

✦ Physical Books
I'm still generally in a slow reading mode (very reading slump-like). But recently, I found solace(?) in reading a non-fiction book about Youtube... I actually started reading this last December but hadn't pick it up again since because that's just how I am with non-fiction books XD... It's more about Youtube's history on viral videos (so far) and I've been having fun with reading about memes I'm not familiar with. Usually, they are just those I didn't participate in watching for some reason in the past but I did hear about some of them. It's interesting how they were viewed as weird and kind of revolutionary at that time but they would totally be (& sound) normal nowadays. 

✦ e-Books
It's slow reading in this area too but that's nothing new. I started reading a new book at the end of April... & although it's romance, it's of a subgenre I'm not used to: K-pop Romance. LOL. I'm only "willing" to jump into reading this because I used to read the author's stories on Tumblr (loved her writing!). If she still writes the same way, there shouldn't be any problems in enjoying the book... 

✦ Manga/Manhwa
Been [re]reading some saintess-themed ones recently (because apparently that's the mood I'm in for haha) and one of it is "A Tale of the Secret Saint".... Gah!!! I'm really curious about which of them is the reincarnation of Sirius! I don't think it's confirmed yet in the web novel but I might be wrong... I guess that means I need to read the WN next *sigh*

Anyway, kind of got reminded how disgusting their version of "modern" saintesses are. Like seriously, ewwww. I don't even want to call them cockroach b*tches. They are just disgusting saintesses as of now (it's a category of their own, evil and fake saintesses might not be included). Yes, there are still some nice ones but the ones that are not are really irritating. I can't stand seeing them embarrass themselves, parading around with their meagre powers, in front of the great(er) [but secret] saintess Fia. 

Oh yeah, I think at this point it's already an open-but-not-really secret that everyone knows that Fia's a saintess or at least has some great powers XD, even if it's by feeling or sense (like seriously, it should be easy to deduce she's one with the things she said and done lol). I'm not even going to be surprised if she makes the reveal later on and people around her will just be "We already [kind of] know that! That's old news!" :P

On manhwa side, I've been enjoying some funny and absurd ones recently. There were some angsty ones but I was rest assured from some spoilers that they would be worth it. Some time ago, I acknowledged to myself that I don't mind angst in stories just as long as the pay-off is a good one. That usually mean I want it to have a happy ending and all the bad guys get their just deserts, in whichever form that might be.

Urgh (again)

Posted in: 2024 posts | I am So Annoyed | Manga | My Head Hurts | Need to Get This Out of My Chest | Reading

I finished the bloody damned book and now my head hurts.

From now on, "To Have and to Hoax" will be remembered as "that book where the main couple had a misunderstanding & didn't communicate effectively for 4 f*cking years"... like WOW. And then it was revealed that it was someone else and the male lead forgave that person easily... that 4 years period is a sad joke at this point *eye-rolls*. What makes it sadder is I'm usually lenient/accepting on this misunderstanding/miscommunication trope but even this was too much (too long) for me. Like... seriously, I'm not a masochist (although I guess it's masochistic of me to finish the book lol... but then I'm a believer in reviewing something only after I finished it so...), I don't enjoy watching fictional people not communicating in the stuff I read. 

To make it more interesting, this book should've a regression plotline added to it. I know that trope is way overdone (in the manga/manhwa world, at least), but I can't accept that 4 years of non-communication unless something tragic happened to them, he regretted, and went back in time to fix his mistakes. And it must be the male lead because he's an A-hole, he needs to suffer more if he want to redeem himself. He will fit in just fine as a regressor because a lot of the male leads in manga/manhwa in that genre also has daddy issues 😒.

I guess the easiest option would be to make it less than 4 years (2 years at most and even that feels too long for me)...


Anyway, I'm pretty much still mad about the book BUT I do still want to read more from the series though because I'm interested in the other couples. And like I said in the previous post, I like the writing style... so I'm not giving up on the author (yet).
