Book 2 - A Snake's Path: ⭐⭐⭐
The nonsensical continues. How does a stranger to this world gain so much physical power that he overpowers everyone even though he hasn't been here long and wasn't thought anything? But aight, he gets a teacher in this book, cool. Since he never learned the basics he's got some catching up to do. He masters techniques welps master before leaving the nest. And somehow this makes him OP..

Book 1: A Snake's Life ⭐⭐⭐
This felt unground and geared towards a younger crowd when it started, but how sexual assault was conveyed had me second guessing the target audience.
The start reads like the start of some (anti)hero's journey. All the usual details are assumed and not addressed. The character just roles with it, asks no questions. Some rando entity talking to you after you died? Sure.

So he's basically grinding, doing menial tasks and we're mostly in his head as he sets in order new info he just acquired. It's an info dump, but I don't mind it. But he's thinking things through while casually slaughtering giant bugs; this really highlights the new world order. Knowing the MC, he only heard relevant parts of the conversation, so what we're now going through is the meat of it.👏👏

I'm SCARED 😭😭😭😭
I thought this was an extended epilogue or something but it's a whole new novella. Meaning it might have its own 3rd act conflict and what not. Nooooo 😭😭😭 💔💔

The most dramatized drama that has ever drama-d, dramatically 😅🤣

I'm FREEEE to read a new manga. Will i pick up something massively popular that's bound to be a good read? Nah, cuz what is I hate that which everyone loves? So let's read this instead and hope for a decent time

No PhD candidate would explain what DNA and RNA is to their supervisor when asked how viruses work; unless they're pompous. Jargon is jargon because it's casually thrown about at higher levels of a profession.
That's like going to a mechanic and starting with, 'so I think the problem is with the engine, the part of the car that's responsible for generation of torque through the combustion of fuel'. 🙄

Kinda impressive how the author manages to make the worst storytelling choice every step of the way. This could've been thrilling and exciting. Instead, it's predictable, meandering and just bleh 😅

Why am I reading epic fantasy?
I didn't activate the required amount of brain cells for this endeavor...

STRESS
I need a break

"In the process, she discovered that guilt was a manageable emotion, and a small price to pay for her freedom."

Why is my character being attacked the second I resume reading this book? 😒😭

Haven't actively been reading this since april, so might as well mark it as DNF for now. Reading novels with my eyes is scary lmao. The audiobook sounded weird but there was nothing wrong with the story itself.

"Contemplating fascism we see most clearly how the 20th century contrasted with the 19th and what the 21st century must avoid"

Yikes. Sir Paxton I have bad news for you... Maybe we'll do better next century? 💀

"If we can understand the failure of the judicial system or of religious/civilian authorities or of citizen opposition to put any breaks on Hitler on Kristallnacht, we begin the understand the wider circles of individual and institutional acquiescence within which a militant minority was able to free itself sufficiently from constraints to be able to carry out genocide in a heretofore civilized country."

"It is clear now that many ordinary Germans were offended by the brutalies carried out under their windows, yet their widespread distatste was transitory and without lasting effect."

Quote to be continued....

This has been on my tbr for a while. It seems extra relevant now and I feel apprehensive in pointing out why; which is in itself problematic....

We get a summary of each prior book??? Yes, please! Would've appreciated this at the start of the previous book since I took a break from the series right before then but I wouldn't mind this being the norm going forward. More series should do this! 😎

Oh no. I added this to my tbr cux I thought it was a series about single parents (daddies) dating....
The reviews make clear that these are Daddy Dom/Little Girl smut stories. I didn't know Littles as a kink term. I know it as a DID term (Dissociative Identity Disorder). So seeing Littles used in a sexual context.... 🤢
Trying not to yuck no one's yum. And trying to keep an open mind.

The Doctor smiles, pleased. "See? That wasn't so hard." I want to claw his eyes out. "Tomorrow, we'll move on to something more challenging."

Aahhhh, I hate this. Isn't this like manipulation 101 😫

I'm SCARED 😰
Fuuuuckk
Sadistic medical abuse is truly horrific Getting the perspective of the one in power abusing this power... Makes me shiver. Knowing this book is erotic horror and therefore must turn sexual eventually almost makes me gag

🙄

This is AI slop, isn't it? -_-

Not me rolling my eyes already. What is this writing??? It's so over the top for no reason

Written by a horny, sex-obsessed man? Bruh. It doesn't have that stereotypical teenage angst so I can't even say it's written by a hormonal teen. With considering the cover... Jokes on me, I guess

I'm bored. DNF for now. Might be a better read with the eye balls instead of audio

Every other chapter I pause my reading to ask myself if I'm sure in my decision to not DNF this.
I'm simply not having a good time with the balance of politics, smut, miscommunicated anguish and false news

Fuuuuck 😭😭😭😭

Everyone: damn, this was dark!
Synopsis: violence, stomach-churning gore, realistic anatomy and on field surgery....
Story so far: psychological torment 😭

Bruuuhhhh. I can handle gore and blood and graphic stuff and violence but kidnapping? Deceit? Coercion? Duress?
Idk if I can do this 😅

Bruhhhhh
This is all sorts of FUCKED UP
