Dare I say I am finding this kind of ..... dull

I liked Notes from Underground. I think a lot of it is even relevant today. I couldn't help but compare the underground man with those in the incel or red pill communities - deeply insecure, lonely, angry men.
But he had self-awareness; he knew exactly why he was acting the way he was, and would do it anyway. So much acting out of spite, and then harming himself in the process. Anyway blah blah, much to ponder

Part 1 only, do not judge me, I know he is mad, but! I found myself agreeing with some points ~ humans, people, emotions, can't be tabulated. Expecting rationality at all points in irrational.
Anyway, maybe I will change....onto part two

I don't know if I am smart enough to understand this. So abstract, maybe too abstract (for me)

This is becoming a slog to get through.
It is illuminating on Mao's China, but the writing is so dry.
Alas, I will continue

I know it's early days, but.... I love this

Maomao's always there to stop me from slumping

The obsession isn't cute, but I do love the drama of it

I was confused, when we switched to Swann' life, but now I'm so in it

I know this is going to an all-time favourite. (I actually knew around the 20% mark)
Emerence is nuanced, complex, and hardened by her life experiences.
No one is born cold, it happens along the way - and so, I have been skeptical of the narrators judgements.

Honestly, Emerence was so real when she said "don't pester me outside work hours. I'm not paid for it"

The archery contest is approaching....

Being an enemy of Poseidon is not advised

love how easy this is to read. incredibly accessible

The aha moment happened. I think I know what The Darkness represents, everything is clicking, and this is for sure going to become an all-time favourite

It's unsettling, disturbing, and these people are creeps

Nah. Adela must be a spy.
"One of her braids was coming undone - they never lasted long - Betty started to redo ot neatly"
Sounds like her facade is slipping

The atmosphere is so eerie. I'm locked in

Every Canto Dante is mesmerised by the immense beauty of Beatrice. Even she had to tell him to focus

*jinwoo in any dire, dangerous situation*
"I hope I don't lose out on any experience points"

Understanding Jinwoo better now. In the anime I couldn't get a read on him, but he does seem aware of the system affecting his humanity

These three are such a messy throuple

I need to read more on Ancient Mesopotamia

I am liking this a lot (likely because it is quite character-focused)

I'm not longing to pick this up, but when I do it does make me laugh

So far, I like it better than Hunters Gonna Lay Low - most especially for Seo Yoon

I'm too impatient to wait for Rosmei, so ftl it is

So the man is delusional, but what's life without a little whimsy

Inner turmoil, a tormented soul, self-aware but denies his self. The more he comprehends himself, the more isolated he feels. It's a fascinating character study

It's not the main plot or point, but it's cute how Virgil now comforts Dante lol
