Hesitating to drop this. I actually like this book but the pace is so awfully slow ....

"I should also ask him how he managed to watch so many movies when he was so busy, Minjun thought. How did Sungchul keep up with a hobby? He was so curious"

Same here same...

"Each time Sungchul put on a know-it-all air and said, ‘You should watch movies you like, not blindly follow the crowd,’ Minjun would try to shut Sungchul’s mouth, literally, but Sungchul never shut up. When Minjun watched a movie because it was a box-office hit, Sungchul would even resort to personal attacks, and scoffed at him: ‘That’s only for the likes of you.’"

... Sungchul is so me lmao we're both annoying

"As with everything in life, reading is about the right timing."

I bet all the mood readers felt validated when they read this

"It was as if she was back to the days of reading from morning to night, giggling as she piled on more books to the stack, [...] back to basking in the joy of reading even as her eyes protested. If I can experience that happiness once more, perhaps I’ll be able to start afresh, she thought."

This is probably what I need to beat the reading slump

I'm already halfway in and I don't like it, too tame and boring. Can someone tell me if it picks up in the second half?

I'm so not invested in the characters. I just wanna know what the plot is about but it's so slow....

Finally a books that breaking my reading slump... Until I got to some dialogues and they just don't feel realistic? Or maybe I'm not American enough to relate to this style of conversation... Idk

Is Mary in the autism spectrum?

Reading this with my classmate yaay

Reading the serial of my fav book 💖🥹❤️❤️

"You lose a leg or a kidney, you’re still you, but lose a part of your brain—literally, lose your mind— and who are you then?"

yeah this is the reason I love brains so much 💗

Hell yeah my favourite character finally made an appearance 😭😭😭

Halfway in and the plot is definitely not the same. Where's my immortal pimp on an epic quest to avenge his girls that was like a found family to him? Instead it's a filthy rich man who owns an entire city that wants revenge for his son. which he can get cuz he's rich. where are my desperation of the lower class, of the undocumented, the thrills, the tragedy of pure love that couldnt survive in a corrupt world?

it's not bad ig

am i the only one for whom gr is glitching?? i cant update my books anymore

Aside from the setting, the plot is very different from the TV show Gangnam B-sides, which was inspired from this book. The characters are completely different as well, unless the ones I know aren't introduced yet (Hoping Yoon Gilho is in it!).
What I dislike though is that it seems to deviate from the message that was conveyed in the show but it's too early to decide that.

we're getting out of the slump with this one 💪

it had to start with a yucky scene ugh

the copy i have is the french version and i realize my french has gotten so much worse....

Finally back from the dead ! 🙌

The King began to shout. “Was she not staying at Castle Yew? Nested like a cuckoo under my Captain’s bloody nose?”

“In his defense,” Elm said, “it’s a rather large nose.”
