The stupidity has reached a new peak

Okay, I don't care for the sex scenes. In fact, I skipped them at some point. I was hoping I could enjoy them but I don't. The author writes which actions either character does, but never how they feel (e.g. to touch), how they look (adjectives, anyone?!) It's so nondescriptive, it would be maddening if I hadnt been bored to death first.

Front runner for my personal "mundanest book I have read in my life".

I don't want to give a book with grammatical errors and a bunch of boring, skippable paragraphs 5 stars, but nearing the end I find myself increasingly unable to help it. 5/5 for thorowly outweighing the bad with plenty of good and then some

By the way, the frequently thrown in Spanish dialogue might possibly annoy the shit out of you if you don't know Spanish.

Let me just repeat HOW much better the writing has become. Dare I even say it? It's Good now. Capital G, yes. The revelations about characters are done well now, too. Well, there are still punctuation errors and the occasional mistake in grammar. But let's not be harsh. It's not a published work and it's freely accecible, so who cares. What one may care about, however, is that it's, well, loaded with triggers.

So far, this is a 4/5. The writing is better than in volume one and the content is right up my alley

The whump is so, so so so so sooooo good, holy f- and hail mary

I love Boyd and Hsins interactions and detest the fact that Boyd just snoops around for information about Hsin behind his back. It's stalkery and a clear breach of trust and privacy. I hope they take this out in the next director's cut. It's even unneccessary. Like, fine if Boyd happens to notice the surveillance cam in Hsin's bathroom and somehow gets a half-minute's glance at it, but the extent of what he does is j

Writing:
- way too much telling, too little showing
- needs to be shorted. Unnecessary words, superfluous paragraphs

Characters:
- two MCs are extremely intriguing. The rest is relatively okay

Plot/Missions:
- dont give a rat's *** about the missions, I'm just here for Hsin and Boyd

As far as I can see, this book warrants the creation of a brand new shelf. [i] Chemistry through the roof [/i]

Only about 25% in, this book is already an extremely strong contestant to become my new favorite book. Ever. Its feminist protagonist has snatched my heart right out of my chest and I'll happily have her keep it.

I can't do it, it's too boring...

I picked this up because i was desperately looking for a somewhat interesting wlw romance. I finally settled on this book as best i could find atm. I'm not too intrigued honestly. But at least I'm not annoyed out of my mind (yet?), which is a start. I plan on finishing this book since in bed I'm sick and have nothing to do anyway

The graphics are easy to understand and instructive. The author takes a lot of (science historic) loops before he gets to the point. The book is from 2002, thus the data isn't up to date in all aspects. He points out future research directions that by now have already been delved into further. His explanations easy to understand, his language is clear and uncluttered. I'm a novice , so I'm still getting sth out of it
