Before I close the cover of this series, I just wanted to leave some notes for myself. This series' translated title is "The King's Avatar." The live-action series is available on Netflix. The complete translated novel is here: http://novelfull.com/the-kings-avatar...

I dropped everything since August to read this series - and now 26 volumes and 1729 chapters later, I'm finally finished. What an amazing journey.

So far, this is an interesting read with a lot of interesting research. It's just not what I was expecting and organized differently than expected. I also don't really like the stereotyping of extroverts and introverts; because, honestly, there are advantages and disadvantages to both and a lot of people have different intensity of each type depending on the familiarity of the setting they find themselves in.

I did not expect this to be an under 200 words novella, with short stories filling up the second half of the book. I feel stupid though, haha, since there was a table of contents (which, so eager to start the story, I didn't bother looking over) listing all the short stories in here.

The short stories are mostly horror and speculative stories. The main story, I Am Legend, is great and had my blood racing.

Finished the main story. It was really short. I didn't realize it was a novella instead of a full novel. The rest of this edition are short stories from the author.

Great translation!

My Amazon First Read selection from May 2017.

Amazon First Read April 2017

This was my Kindle First Read choice for March 2017. I don't normally read legal thrillers but, so far, this is so good.

This is a reread. I'm happy to say that I'm still very fond of the story and its heroine.

Amazon First Read from February 2017

Kindle First Read for January 2017. Really enjoyed the buildup but the ending was disappointing. Multiple plot lines were left unresolved.

This is my Amazon First Read from November 2016. My kindle has been so cluttered with unread First Read selections that it feels good to get rid of some of the clutter.

The idea behind this story is interesting; but, I feel that for a science fiction thriller, the pacing is too slow and the characters seem to all share this same bland personality.

Another Amazon First Read finished. The beginning was really slow and the characters one dimensional. However, the story picked up around 40% in. Overall, I thought it was just ok. It's a sweet simple story.

This was from Amazon First Read June 2016.

I really disliked the beginning and was really close to dnf'ing at the part of the father's (lack of) reaction to his daughter getting assaulted by a village boy under his own roof. The second half was great though with many heartwarming moments - made me laugh and made me shed some tears.
