stories that temporarily reset my personality and pov of reality on a metalvl for some reason

(51) IM OBSESSED WITH THIS!!! like i love brainless power fantasies but this is SO good bc it focuses on world building, the source and development of dungeons outside of just being a plot device for MC, and for 2 leads, there's a lot of focus on MCs' relationships outside of each other. also romance lowkey makes me cringe, but these two are rlly cute ngl.

edit: i never read this again LOL.

(79). at first i wasnt interested in MC's character, but as the plot goes on i ended up REALLY liking him. the constant balance he walks on between the overlapping lines of empathy and survival is astounding. i also REALLY love the plot so far- it's a lot more interesting than i og thought this was going to be, esp in regards to the typical "npc turned out to be real humans" type of shit. this is SO good, and i like how we're still learning about 'wtever/anything' either

it's so colorful it makes me nauseous

edit: nauseous in a good way. you ever taken drugs before? it's not like, drunken nauseau, it's like nauseau because you went on a ricochety ride ominously named "The Zipper" in your local summer festival that mysteriously pops up like a Spirit Halloween in the middle of a field, where your skin is stung by sandflies and mosquitoes and your nose is stung by alcoholic lemonades and burnt fried dough.
