i’m so excited for this omgg i hope i finish before the first volume of the official translation comes out

“Xie Wen went quiet for a moment. Perhaps he was also remembering what he had said all those years ago. Then he spoke slowly: “How did it not have anything to do with me? It mattered. I was the one who raised you, after all.”

RAISED. can we not use the word raised right before the romance is actually going to start. thanks.

Since the 1950s flows of migration have of course reversed themselves. More than a million people from all over Britain’s former Empire have come as immigrants to Britain.

tears, i just realized it can be put as that so succinctly...

reading the british's colonization of india is so difficult for me - not only in terms of content, but this is a very emotionless text, to be honest - because of the sheer amount of business-related stuff within it. all this talk about money, shares, bonds, corporate terminology, and shit is killing me...

sigh reading a book defending colonialism for an essay... lovely

managed to binge a bit today but that’s all for now.. i’m not bored but also not super interested?

okay guys so… when i read about the mc as a little kid and the ml taking care of him as a grown ahh man, i think father and son or at the very least, cute shizun-disciple dynamic. i cannot think of this as romantic even if 1000 years have passed… maybe i will change when i read more.

the plot is more interesting than the main couple’s dynamic rn i fear… i’ll see how things go

i never had interest in reading this but my friend assertively was like let’s read this so hello. hi.

this novel is solid in everything but the smut… not even saying this in a goon way, it literally makes no sense and is really badly written. maybe it’ll improve later but? like one gags another, nuzzles neck, and talks about pressure on a warm spot. and some metaphors. that’s the smut.

the flirting was 10000x hotter (and ofc it made sense) then whatever actual copulation is happening now.

me: it’s not as angsty as expected

five seconds later. 🫩🫩

Fang Xin had an annoyed expression and said, “I used to consider Captain Song as my role model when I first entered the municipal bureau. She was the pride of all the female police officers in Jiangcheng. And now, what is this, a Husky?”

Duan Cheng observed for a while and said, “It’s not a Husky; it’s a milk dog, the kind that only barks at Sister Lin.”

memories of erha 🚬

i liked the tension more in the beginning and it’s still good just maybe cause they’re on better terms/friends who know they like each other now… it’s less tantalizing…

for an assignment. but i dont think this is going to be the best in terms of entertainment and knowledge based on the ratings.. i will find out.

going VERY well so far - the plot is interesting and the tension is killing me… 🙂‍↕️

see i got a little bored cause some of the information is being repeated a lot of times and is like a regurgitation of stuff i already know - at the same time, i can understand that this is good for someone who lacks some knowledge in some of these topics. it'll just be hard formulating a final opinion on this when i finish.

She raises her head, her lips nearing my lips. And she whispers, “What are you going to do to me, pack leader?”

My blood heats, and in the pit of her ear, I murmur, “Make wolf pups with you.”

Daisy almost lets out a breathy cry, but my hand runs over her mouth, quieting the noise.

bro. GET ME OUT. ur two fucking immature rich kids but somehow adult age. not fucking supernatural werewolves.

bro this is so fucking ass (I HATE THIS FUCKING COUPLE) but i need to get through it to read the final book in this series that concerns another couple

omds wilkerson actually cooked i never in my life thought about how the plights of african-americans and lower caste people in india can be connected and is the same in many ways but, it seems so obvious when i think about it. wowww

“Because I have warned you, if something happens to you, I will personally raze the entire Order of the Eternal Flame. That isn’t a threat, it’s a promise. Consider your survival as much a necessity to the Resistance as Holdfast’s. If you die, I will kill every single one of them. Given that the risk to their lives is the only way to make you value your own.”

bro shut the fuck up

why tf r u falling for this man bro LIKE HOW FUCKING STUPID R U WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BRO

white man discovers…. curls?!?!?!?! 😱😱😱

this is honestly a hate-read atp.. im bored.

fuck the guy keeps calling the girl by her last name - marino and i keep thinking of zosan in one piece and sanji calling zoro marimo AND IT’S TARNISHING ONE PIECE. sorry. on to the book, the “romance” actually feels more rapey (even amongst flashbacks where there theoretically isn’t supposed to be any?) than the fanfiction and the fanfiction was already. very bad.

this worldbuilding is actually ASS and the fucking names omds like “paladia,” “order of the flame”…. i can’t

pirating this... but i have to admit the cover is quite lovely

miscommunication trope (platonic)

wow those two chapters on kikomi… that’s how u write a woman without pandering to stereotypes while simultaneously being aware of them and how they can be subverted with just her thoughts to write a complex character
