WuWa Talk: Carlotta

Another day, another post for Wuthering Waves~

Carlotta

It's the title but this might be a quite lacking Carlotta post lol

So... My main account lost the 50/50 to Encore (BIG SIGH) so basically the astrites I got through Rinascita exploration were all used to get a guaranteed Carlotta. I guess I could have just move on after losing... but I got really stubborn about it because my main account don't have a Glacio DPS (no, I'm not forgetting Lingyang on purpose! That account don't have Lingyang yet!).

Fenn account was able to get Carlotta (guaranteed, if I remember correctly) and her signature weapon. I only got the signature weapon for my RuRu account (since Aalto & Chixia can use it).

Anyway~ haven't started her companion quest... soon!

Tower of Adversity

27/30 for last ToA. It caught up with me lol. I've been using Havoc Rover & Xiangli Yao often in the middle tower so... yup, definitely, caught up with me alright. It's a big reminder for me to find another echo set for my Mortefi. He is still using Yao's leftover-unused Lingering Tunes set (hey, it works!). I did have a Moonlit set for him but the result wasn't as good as the mis-matched(?) Lingering set... look, these past few months, I've been prioritising building resonators and weapons over echoes (only sometimes, when I have enough materials) so I've just recently started caring more about echoes. Which, on second thought, is kind of a blessing in disguise because we get Nightmare echoes in 2.0!

Rinascita

I might be in the minority here about this but I like it just fine. I like the stories (including the lore) in 1.x so it's just pretty much "business as usual" for me. To me, Zani is just the new Yangyang - both are characters that I once in a while fast-forward their dialogues (after reading them myself). I do like her JP voice but I was too curious about what's happening next lol. I'm not doing that much in my Fenn account (English voice playthrough) since I already know the story.

Anyway, I don't get why people have to talk bad of 1.x's stories (even call it the beta version) and basically put 2.0 on a pedestal and worship it. [Speaking of that.. wow, I really read too many RoFan manhwa with evil saintesses/churches/temples because I'm already very suspicious of them from the start. Like, f*ck, I have no chill regarding this - especially after going to Penitent's End - I usually absolutely hate those in manhwa. I'm totally one who will go on the Pilgrim's Sail if I'm a Ragunnesi. Of course, I would still listen to their side of the story (I'm expecting some plot twists here so I'm excited~) but I'm forever looking at them with the eyes that say "You're suspicious as f*ck".] Hmm... actually, I don't really care if they hate 1.x... I guess I'm more bothered about WuWa content creators arrogantly generalising that all players hate 1.x.

On being able to skip to Rinascita instantly, I recommend against it. I think Rinascita is more enjoyable after experiencing 1.x but that's just my two cents (oh well).

Quite off-topic: Oh yeah, I realised you can just block accounts on Reddit and you won't see their posts or comments in subreddits... so I probably won't need to avoid r/WutheringWaves (like I did during Camellya's banner) when it's Zani's turn. I don't hate the characters (more towards neutral/indifferent really), I'm just not comfortable with some of the community's reactions to them.

Yinlin is a monster
In a good way, of course! Damn! I guess getting her finally paid off? Pairing her with Xiangli Yao is so, so good. Finally got the 5-star rectifier from the standard weapon banner. Explored Rinascita with her (to max out her intimacy level) with Rover & Shorekeeper. I managed to kill so many red enemies with her help (although sometimes I had to switch Rover out with Yao) - it was a blast! And I'm still in the middle of getting her better echoes (well, for now it's the nightmare version of Tempest Mephis). My point is: she's still great even with eh-good-enough echoes... gosh, I need to reconsider getting similar sub-DPS like her for my DPS resonators (yes I totally pull for her just for my Xiangli Yao :P). Zhezhi has to wait for another rerun... I'm completely out of astrites because of Carlotta.

Bonus

This was about the Montelli family but for some reason it's relevant...?

#SpotifyWrapped and YT's Gaming Recap

Honestly, I feel like I've been listening to music on Spotify even less this year lol

7th Time Loop anime opening theme song.
I'm very obsessed with the bridge before the chorus - it's very addicting - I just want to listen to that part again and again XD

If I remember correctly, the top songs were pretty much from the first half of 2024... "The Legend of ShenLi" instrumental opening theme made into Top 5 XD. Also, 7th Time Loop anime's ending theme... what's amazing about this is... I haven't even finish watching both shows lol

I feel like I need to explain "Romantic Love Song"... Apparently it was from the time I've been listening to Westlife's albums in February haha

Well, I don't know why Shonen is mentioned there lol (probably one of the anime theme songs I was listening trigger this?) - that's like my least favourite genre of manga. I just don't like how long and harem-y they can get sometimes.
[I'll still read/watch them if the story is interesting but I most probably will be out/DNF when the big boobies appear 😑]

"Atmospheric Fantasy Soundtrack" is thanks to Wuthering Waves soundtracks :P

Honestly, I thought this would change seeing how little I've been listening but now I'm glad to know it's still them

Why, hello Wuthering Waves :P

BONUS

So... apparently this is a thing on Youtube?

I have no shame XD

Didn't realise it's that many... I'm interested in seeing the full list

No surprise there lol.. I do prefer watching people play horror games to myself playing them (I can't handle jumpscares while playing)

Books and Rainy Days

Just to bring closure to a previous post: Fortunately the no-water situation wasn't long, it returned the next day. Which was a great relief to everyone because I definitely don't want a repeat of that week.

Received these books today~

The first three are pretty much the usual stuff but I'm sure the last two books must look out of place there lol XD... Believe me, the reasons are very simple. Very random of me though haha.

"The Scarlet Pimpernel" - Saw this mentioned together with the manhwa "My Angelic Husband Is Actually a Devil in Disguise" in another title spoiler forum (lol) and just decided "Oh yeah I'll read that" right there at that moment...

"Mickey 7" - Saw the "Mickey 17" trailer as an ad on Youtube and got curious about the story XD. Realised it was based on a book so...

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

The weather has been lacking of sun recently. Sometimes it gets me worried because parcel deliveries during these rainy days can get very weird. Had one experience last month with a Shopee order where it's marked delivered in the app. Since the weather was bad at that time, I gave it a few days to wait for them (KEX. ABX?) to deliver but didn't receive anything. Had to request for a refund on Shopee before the guarantee thing ends. I'm guessing they forgot to deliver it... *sigh*

Had similar experience with the PosLaju parcels received today. Marked as delivered when I checked their status last night... BUT they delivered them today (which, thankfully, has been sunny so far).

Forgotten Post

Forgot to post about these yesterday~

I received some books:
~~Haven't even open the package yet so I'll update with photo later~~~
Done!

I had a phase in my life where I was quite obsessed with the manga of "True Love Fades Away When the Contract Ends"... I was going to read the WN but I got distracted lol. It's not isekai... more of a historical fiction romance and I love the main characters! I want to see how they get together. Anyway, it was a nice surprise to see that it got officially translated into English.

Oh yeah, after I finished reading "The Ark Sakura" (just an okay read, but I want to read more from the author), I just casually(?) decided that I'm rereading 7th Time Loop light novels :P

Thanks to my [selective] crappy memory, it feels like it's my first time reading it again lol... of course, I remember the major events but honestly some small, detailed parts make me go "Oh I don't remember this from before" or "Oh yeah, this happened...".

So far, some of the things are:

Rishe thought Arnold is beautiful in the beginning (totally can relate XD... seeing the illustrations in the light novel reminds me again how handsome he is)
I don't like Mary. She's the girl who snatched Rishe's ex-fiancé away. Rishe doesn't hate her but remembering how she told lies about Rishe which made Clown Prince Dietrich do the whole condemnation & engagement-breaking thing, I don't need/want to like her. It wasn't a focus in the light novel (though there are extras in the manga about her sob story), but her character can easily be like one of those cockroach b*tches. I guess it's fortunate she sounds like a clever one at least but still... don't need her~! (Can't wait for the story to move on to Galkhein)
I remember this one but it still surprises me that Rishe's parents are so horrible. They wouldn't even let her get her stuff after knowing the broken engagement. Gah! I guess it makes it easier for us (the readers) - we don't have to care about her family.
It's mentioned that Rishe learnt how to use a sword for basic self-defence during her noble lady days. So it shouldn't be suspicious that she's able to wield one (although I guess what Arnold find interesting is that she acts like a trained knight/swordswoman, which was an experience she got from her 6th life)

...that's all for now. I've been reading super slowly. Reading hasn't been smooth-sailing these past couple of months. Now it feels like I want to read everything but I don't want to read fast (or maybe I just can't sit down long enough to read for a long period of time hmm).

July’s Rainy Tuesday

On this day... I posted thrice in the past on July 2nd: 2021, 2022 and 2023.

2021

It was raining heavily when I woke up in the morning at a quarter to nine.

What a coincidence. We've been having that more lately. It was also raining heavily today :(

And that annoyed me today because that's probably the reason we're not getting water supply again... the Water Department haven't been updating their notices but I suspect it's due to muddy/murky(?) water because that's what usually happen when we have too much rain. ~~I hope they'll give their official excuses soon so that I can curse [them] properly in my mind.~~
Edit 7/3: There's still no updates to the notices section (honestly, I think they gave up since it hasn't been updated since May) but their news(?) section did mention the Kasigui water treatment plant (it's closed/under maintenance due to flood). *long sigh* Our area isn't in Penampang but we're near so I guess we're also affected by this... it can't be helped then 😶

2022

A post about books I received around that time. Among those books, I've only finished reading "The Poems of Nakahara Chuya" :P (and "Jane Eyre" of course, although I haven't reread it)

2023

Not going to pick a new book from the jar today. I'm pretty much still in a [physical books] reading slump so I'm going to make it easy for myself.

Oh my... that was the month I started having that reading slump lol

What's the status today, you ask?

As I said before, it's pretty much just mood reading nowadays :P. I'm learning to accept that I'm not reading like when I was younger. I'm also thinking of doing more "irresponsible" reading... which I imagine would be 'start many books, finish few'...? It's how I've been reading my manga/manhwa currently. I don't even care if it's an ongoing series, I can just read something else before I return to that series.

Also just realised that I do DNF books, only not books I've purchased (if I do, I do it reluctantly)... *sigh* but I will still consider myself someone who rarely DNF books because I rather hate-read.

Anyway, I'm kind of a pessimistic reader at this moment. I question almost all books (especially the popular ones and/or regularly covered by booktubers) whether they are good because I don't feel hopeful.

WuWa

General updates~

Shopping Bag

New books:

"Azure & Claude" is new...? Doesn't look like it's the final volume (apparently it's on hiatus?). It has the tragedy tag though... not sure if I'm ready for that.

"A Tale of the Secret Saint" was totally an impulse-bought book XD.. It was around RM35 on Amazon SG (excluding shipping) so I didn't think much (like, just do it)... now it's at RM92++. Lucky!

... I don't know where I'll find the other volumes but let's think about that later!
There's also the kindle route (the price range is RM30-50 per volume) but I want something physical though, for things I love.

(received these on May 25th)

Preloved books

The most expensive (RM22) one in this pile is the manga! Which is understandable because it's pretty much still in a good condition (and less than half the original price!). The others are pretty random choices. Though I picked "Tempests and Slaughter" because Tamora Pierce is one of the authors recommended to DWJ fans... so I'll try reading that later.

Kino's

[edit 2024-07-07: finally opened the package on July 7th lol]

(received today)

More preloved books found on Shopee...

For "The Third Twin" & "Artemis", kind of curious of the authors' writing styles so I 'grabbed' anything I could find lol... "Hypothermia" was a totally random choice.

Games
I really couldn't forget the feeling of playing nonograms lol... I did find a few of them on Steam so that's settled(?) for now :P. It isn't very fun to play on the phone so I prefer the ones I can play on PC.

Oh yeah... saw that both Orwell games were (are?) on sale so I ended up getting those too. I can't wait to replay them!

(this part ↓↓ added today)

Currently, I'm low-key obsessed with the game "Wuthering Waves"~!... It's so funny how it happened XD

I first saw it became available on Epic Store & was curious enough to install it but didn't go through with the full installation (I didn't have enough disk space). Then I saw someone I subscribed to on Youtube played it on stream and got interested.

Anyway, one of the characters that I could play (can you believe it? I managed to get Jiyan & Calcharo!) as is someone that has dragon(?) power. I play the game using Japanese audio so imagine my surprise when I see who Jiyan's voice actor is... Ono Yuki! His voice sounded deeper than the ones I usually heard of him so I'm kind of disappointed I didn't guess it's him (but still super happy!).. The only one I recognised is Lingyang (Hanae Natsuki).

As of now, I've done the main story (whatever is available for now). I don't know if it's the best (or worst?) time (hormotional) for me to play the game because I cried doing some of the side quests.. seriously, what the heck was that? Usually it's the ones that caught me off-guard that made me cried buckets (like that one grandpa that wanted to get some cool echoes to court someone :P)

Sirius

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.

Yes... Books.

Received these books today~

"Spark" was the one I wanted to get because it's kind of related to stories behind Japanese showbiz(?). Obviously, I don't know much about it at this point... but it's from the comedian side of view (I wish I can find a novel one day that's involves acting department, like "Skip Beat!). The other two are pretty random choices. "The Only Child" got an interesting summary & it's a thriller so I guess that one is not so much a random choice haha. Honestly, I have very low expectations (might even hate it later) for the last book. Decided to get it anyway because the story is set in Japan and it's only RM4.90 ..well, it's still under RM10 if you include the shipping cost (divided by three).

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Oh yeah, yesterday I went out for some phone-telco-related business and boy I was dead tired by the time I got home. And it was fortunate that I went out almost the whole day because we didn't have any power at home - SESB was doing some repair works in the area (related to recent blackout).

Then there were more chaos in the evening: I decided to register a new device to use MAE app (only one can be linked to) and I had to re-activate the secure2u feature thing at (and only at) their ATM. It's quite funny really, I got in a slight panic because I wanted to use the debit card tomorrow so I pretty much dragged my family out around 6-7pm for a brief "visit" to the nearest Maybank ATM lol. Online, they said you have to wait 12 hours but mine was 18 hours. Probably because it's after working hours.

Toxic ✕

Posted in: 2024 posts | Books | Manga | Online Shopping Bag | Reading

I forgot to mention about this in my previous post: Recently, I am (was?), yet again, saved by spoilers! Seriously, what's new about this? lol

Anyway. So... the manhwa started with some interesting... events. Couldn't wait to read further so I found some spoilers on Reddit (a change from the usual spoilers from NU lol) that said the male lead is trash. Like, almost all the comments said so (and some with examples). I had my share of manga with toxic people/relationships in the past and so I know it's best to stop as soon as possible.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Received a couple of books this week~ One is the first volume of "The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap" which is the only book left in my recent Kino order... I wasn't charged the shipping fee for this second shipment. That arrived today. Yesterday was the other book. The one on Carousell that I mentioned recently.

Snacky Spoilers

Spoilers are like... snacks. You can't have too many of it. And yet, there'll be some days where you overindulge on them.

Which, in my opinion, is totally fine by me :P... Both ways...

It's only a bit overwhelming at times haha. My memory is crap anyway so I guess that must be partially why I'm okay with reading spoilers - because I wouldn't remember all of them anyway XD

[At the same time, I'm amazed with my selective memory :P... I could pretty much remember most of the stories I read, albeit some triggers/keywords are needed, I'm just still bad at remembering titles and character names haha]

But spoilers are good these few days. It helped me decide if I want to keep reading certain manhwa because spoilers bring hope~! Although, honestly, I could do without those MTL-ed spoilers - they mess my brain so bad :\

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Received a couple of books today~

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent LN #9 - Finally~! Although I guess it's just me rereading it in English this time :P... Speaking of this, I made progress in watching the anime today - I'm finally at the Hawke domain arc!!! *proud*
The Ark Sakura - I did start reading his other book, "The Woman in the Dunes", in the past (borrowed online) but didn't manage to finish it *sigh*. I wanted to get the physical version but the version I wanted doesn't seem to be in stock. I guess I'll try finishing this one first to really see if I like the writing style.

Hestia

On this day...!

I posted four times in the past on this same day and same month --- 2006, 2021, 2022 & 2023!

2006
Oh this one is about "Densha Otoko"... I haven't been watching J-doramas lately (especially since I can't watch Netflix anymore)... I guess that's the update :P

2021

It's one of those days.

The days where I catch myself procrastinating.

Oooof that's exactly what is [still] happening now. Haaaahh I really don't feel like doing it but I have to....

2022

Reading Schedule Generator! There was a period that I didn't use it... then when I got lazy about printing it, I just wrote the schedule down somewhere XD. I think the last time I was using it was to help with avoiding reading slumps (lol) until I started using the ReadMore app again. The app has its own reading schedule feature so I guess that means I still use one? XD

I don't use it for every book I read but currently I do use one for "Leviathan Wakes"....

2023

Oh! This one is a 13 Thursday post!

I could give some kind of updates(?) for some of them:

Anime

--- Still kind of in a watching slump, but I'm trying to watch a few of them (the ones I've read before)... it's a slow progress *sigh*

Games

--- I've been watching some of John Wolfe's playthrough on his JohnTwolfe channel... I enjoyed watching his Dredge playthroughs! I think that kind of got me back to wanting to read some H. P. Lovecraft stories (Thanks, John! Although I haven't started reading it... XD). He just started playing Stray so I'm excited to follow that one next! He's also playing Lethal Company with his friends & it was fun chaos :P

--- I am still interested in doing a Mass Effect Weekend thing but I need to think more about how I'm doing it.

"What's the point of cleaning if it just gets messy again?"

--- Yep.

Spotify

--- Currently I'm obsessed with this one track from Strawberry Night movie OST

Spam

--- I'm noticing a weird thing in this blog's stats page (I think I'm getting some of those spam clicks?). If it gets out of hand I might make this blog private for a while.

Reading

--- Reading is... sufficient(?) at this moment. I'm reading just enough. "Leviathan Wakes" is surprisingly a comfortable read so far (considering the stuff happening in the story), I'm enjoying it so far! I'm also reading "Death Notice" and I like the mystery~

--- Recently, I've been reading "For My Derelict Favorite" (Thus, post title = Female lead's name). It started from the manhwa and now to the fan-translated web novel. I seriously need to know how it ends! The antagonist is a good [quality] villain. She's not exactly the cockroach kind (I thought of using praying mantis b*tch, since she's a saintess but maybe not... since FL called her queen bee... so... Queen Bee B*tch??) I love how FL uses QBB own beliefs against the Queen B*tch herself (wait, am I missing a word? :P). I can't wait to read more!!!

Urgh (again)

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).

Too Much

I'm... tired.

~~That's too much reading in a month lol~~

Finished the last half of Volume 3 last night and the waterworks were very active after yesterday's post. That really caught me off-guard. Pretty sure that's why I got a terrible headache upon waking up today. Okay, maybe part of it was because of lack of sleep and hormones but still... my eyes feel dry today! ...I am excited to read to next volume though so, tears or no tears, I'm ready!

Anyway... I just want to do some comfort manga/manhwa reading now so anything end-year/new-year stuff will have to wait until tomorrow~~~

Oh yeah, this is the last post for this year so that means I've posted daily for the whole year~! Yay!

...Not going to do the same next year though lol

Posted in: 2023 posts | I Need to be Distracted | Manga | Reading

...annndddd we're back to unhappy days~

I feel so worried that currently I desperately need to "escape".

Destination: Manga/manhwa (& hopefully books)

I don't know what to think of it.

Needed

Posted in: 2023 posts | Life: Anecdotes | Manga | Reading

Spoilers were needed and necessary today.

If I have to read through a manhwa with angst, I need to know that it ends happily.

Neighbour's cat has been coming more often recently. ...and the reason(?) made itself clear today when she brought two of her kittens home (our home!). Whaaaat???? They are a pair of cute black kittens (my favourite colour for cats) though... BUT we can't be her new home!

Fangirling Over Rishe Again

Started re-reading 7th Time Loop manga and I'm falling in love with Rishe again~~~ Volume 1 is so, so, so good (great manga adaptation of the web novel/light novel series) 😭 I can't wait until they get to arcs from the newer volumes of the light novels... Falling in love with Arnold (again) will happen later as I (the reader) am still cautious of his motives (LOL I say this even though it's like the third time I'm rereading the manga haha #rereadingisgreat) but it's so much fun seeing him falling(?) for Rishe again~!

Despite what I said way back in September, I've yet continue reading the web novel (because I got distracted by manhwas muahaha)... might actually do it this year as part of "Things I want to read before the year ends" stuff 😅 ...although not reading is a nice option too, since the fifth volume of the light novel (English translation) is coming out in April next year. I'll let my mood decide later lol

Been reading the recently-purchased "Jane in Love". It feels very fanfic-ish to me, but the good kind... at the same time, it has that fillers stuff that come with most fanfics which is fine (I guess)... I do see myself getting tired of it later though *sigh*. Anyway, I was expecting humorous moments when Jane arrived in the future but so far I only have worries for her dear life (T_T)

Speaking of Jane Austen... found a manhwa that feels like both "Persuasion" and "Pride and Prejudice"~! The romance is like the one in "Persuasion" and the main character has a family like the Bennet family in "Pride and Prejudice". Only difference is, there's no Mr Bennet and the Mrs Bennet is a very competent mother of five daughters. The mum happens to be the antagonist (a very good one so far, not really a cockroach... but still a b*tch). The main character is the youngest daughter (so... like Lydia?) and she's as badass as her mother XD. I enjoy reading it very much :D

Flirting with spoilers

Posted in: 2023 posts | Manga | My Fangirl Side | Reading

I feel like I was flirting with spoilers today :P

What does that even mean, you say? To me, it meant I was peeking into some spoilers but at the same time avoiding some just because XD

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

I made some good progress with "Battle Royale" recently... currently I'm less than 200 pages away from the end. Though the place I'm at is a bit hard to go through because one of my favourite characters has died (HAH~) and the other characters kept bringing him up... I mean.. I understand why but I don't really like being reminded of his death :( At this point, I can't wait for the little villains to die because they've started annoying me in a cockroach way~

...and yes, I saw the movie... I know who dies, but it still doesn't make it easier to read about their deaths :(

Optimistic

Posted in: 2023 posts | Manga | Reading

Reading feels... optimistic today. And I think I will have a few [reading] affairs after all. Will I finish reading them? Highly doubt it XD

It's just that since I'm doing that to manga/manhwa, I think it should be okay...to approach normal books the same way? Don't think too much, I won't think too much about it!
