This was a 5 for me. I think any other time, it might not even make a blip. but right now this is really really hitting home. it's 08/04/2022 and I'm taking on A LOT of work at my job. Kavitha left, Jesselyn is leaving in a few months and I'm taking on the FE lead role. it's very overwhelming and I'm starting my job search again. my days honestly are feeling really similar to the MCs at the beginning, with my work overwhelming my personal life. i can feel the burnout. good luck to us all. on c5

c60. this was really good. it's giving xxxholic vibes. the setting is slightly vague, but it only makes the experience better. quite a special plot where the MC is a transmigrated bookowner backed by a very strong power. two sides of a same coin, where on one side is the MC who truly believes that he is a book owner where on the other side is the MCs summoner (i'm assuming?) who transforms everything he does into something powerful beyond imagination. it's hard to explain, but i like it

it's slightly less than a five probably because it has a little too much fan service for my liking.... but it's giving magi and one piece luffy. i like it c107

I wouldn't re-read because it's so fucking sad beneath the sparkling exterior. but reading this felt akin to reading the great gatsby. the symbolism, the plot, it's really fucking good. even the art that's objectively not my type at all just fits in so perfectly with the story. maybe because it's somewhat child-like? either way. it's great in a way that I just can't pin point. just some broken people trying to live, where despite it all, it was a beautiful day. holy shit. so I wrote the first part when I was around ~70. now that I've read the main story. holy fucking shit. they really packed A SHIT TON of plot into those last 30 or so chapters. like i didn't think it could get any sadder. like yes, it's a HE and Tom even returns. but jeez it was a real bumpy ride. was crying almost every chapter there. on side 0.
