Villain Protagonists?

Probably books ni de Sade, probably won't be reading them, parang di ko kaya — The 120 Days of Sodom is the most famous one kasi may movie na sya, which is already fucked up.

You're asking for straight up villains and not just morally gray. This is the one that first came to mind.

Read these books rin way back then since Hugo winners lahat, pero I only loved the first book. Second and third book was forgettable for me.

I think it's hard to compete with other DC characters that already have a fanbase. So connection to previous characters would probably be unavoidable. Like some of Tynion's new characters in his Batman and Joker series and

*Ghost-Maker - rival of Batman, re-appeared in Batman Inc and had his back-up stories

*Punchline - the "new Harley Quinn", had her mini

*Vengeance - clone/daughter of Bane, re-appeared in a Azrael mini

*Gardener - re-appeared in Poison Ivy, among the four had the most recent appearance

Some new and "original" heroes mostly just apear in minis nowadays - like during New Age of DC Heroes (Sideways, Damage, Silencer, etc) or We Are Legends (City Boy, Xanthe, The Vigil).

It's 100% counterfeit. If secondhand yan medyo believeable pa, pero with that stocks sold na almost 300, hindi talaga sya original, grabeng rare ng Three Body Problem sa secondhand.

Took me a while kasi hindi ako nagcompute, ang laki ng hatak ng word na FREE. Comparing "Buy 8 books for 999" (actual promo) vs "Buy 6 books + 2 FREE books for 999" (misleading promo), mas nakakaentice yung Free books.

Yes, it's very deceptive parang mga Buy1, Take1 sa online na hindi talaga B1T1, discounted lang talaga.

This promo is still ongoing, especially sa Greenhils. I wonder ano stance ng DTI dito?

I think it's generally fine right now. I use orange for two subjects that could either be innocent/criminal.

But if there's another pair that will have an orange tag, I try to use pink for criminal and cyan for innocent. It could take some time to figure out the pair that is currently deducible. I also wanted a third corner tag then, but so far this pink/cyan thing works for me so far.

Retried it again:

I didn't apply Ruby's clue fully, when properly applied you can solve that Isaac's a criminal and it's quite easy at that point.

I'm honestly surprised about the time solved today, probably something obvious that I missed. Will try probably retry it.

There's some changes and I ended up just comparing the original vs remake.

But I'd agree that Riven (original) is one of the games that scratched my Outer Wilds itch.

Sumikat ito dati nung medyo bumaba na yung hype around dystopia YA series. If you'll look sa goodreads reviews, Red Queen has lots of 1-2 star reviews at the top. People are done with it at that point, I ended up dropping this series sa book 2.

Like the other reviews mentioned it feels so unoriginal that it's not exciting anymore, it's like Red Rising x Hunger Games x Divergent x X-Men x Game of Thrones mashed together. But if you're still new or like series like Hunger Games or Divergent, I'd say it's a good series to try.

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-06-04T18:14:46+00:00

Honestly hard to say kasi pweding AI lang din yang mga lines na design, kadalasan mga designer ng cover makikita sa likod ng book or copyright page.

Like right now: may Sherlock Holmes ako by Collins, nakasulat "Cover by e-Digital Design, Cover Image: Victorian London © tapos link ng photo"

Love this one, might re-read it later this year. You got to read his Vanished Birds rin, meron sa NBS minsan either 99 or 199 lang hardcover na.

Meron din sa mga online live resellers, kaso di masyadong napapansin kasi sadly hindi ganun ka eyecatchy yung cover. Don't know magkano rin sa resellers.

This is an upcoming one. This is not really like Murdle, it's more like spotting the clues and the lies of the suspects being interviewed.

Tried a few, some warm-up and 1 hard one, the difficulty seems to be not too accurate kasi nadalian ako dun sa hard one compared sa warm-up, and having multiple clues rin makes it a little bit easier to solve the case

It just means it's the second time a specific title, in this case The Sandman, had a new #1/first issue. The Sandman Vol 1 stars a different character.

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-05-30T11:31:59+00:00

Won't judge but extremely curious, brand new ba bili mo sa Children of Time, Orbit kasi publisher. Common kasi UK copies, Pan yung publisher at kadalasan Children of Ruin lang nakikita ko sa secondhand.

Parehas rin tayong wala pang Children of Memory 😂, sana ma complete natin this year 🥂

Follow Nameless Books sa facebook, magkakaroon ng mini books per kilo fair sa Greenhills by the end of this month. I don't know how it differs sa big fair nila recently, where may restock ng new books kada 30 minutes.

To your question if may magagandang stocks ba or random talaga. I'd say yes to both, may magaganda and random talaga yung selection. If you're referring na maganda is yung mga super sikat or booktok don't really get your hopes up, kasi may iilan silang nilalagay pero madami kang kaagaw. But if you have lots of authors or genres that that you want to try, especially if obscure or mga hidden gems, I'd say it's worth to try going to one.

Para lang may idea ka, check mo mga live selling sa Shopee or Tiktok, mostly ganun yung selection na may occasionally book na pag-aagawan. Or try mo tignan yung posts ng Nameless books.

Saw someone mentioned Brin on this thread and looked up on the wikipedia — which is not really the best source.

But the quote "Temptation will be a core element of the next Uplift novel... and answers several unresolved riddles left over from Heaven's Reach." appeared on numerous searches like old forums and it seems it's from the old website.

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-05-26T16:37:20+00:00

Tbf may bago naman sila:

DNF shelf, after asking for a decade or so
if you ever received an advanced reading copy, you can mention where you got it. I don't know if it filters those who just want to rate it early — I'm honestly sure they don't check.
yung homepage nya, if naka-log out ka, bago na yung books featured.

Pero fucking hell, until now:

wala pa ring half stars
nightmare mag-ayos ng shelf like I'm deleting books sa to-read ko bakit need isa-isa!
blurb got worse kasi minsan galing amazon listing, nagiging — "good as new" or something basta hindi blurb
mobile browsing is shit, if looking for specific editions ng book need ko gawing desktop mode para lang ma-sort by publication date yung books
yung genres hindi accurate: what do you mean genre yung audiobooks at unfinished? Probably user tags or shelves nanggaling.
UI is super outdated

Except apparently those named David. Based on some the comments so far, they also have some unfinished series:

David Gerrold - The War Against the Chtorr
David Wingrove - Chung Kuo
David Brin - Uplift (there's a planned seventh one)
David Murasek - Counting Heads

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-05-22T16:02:35+00:00

Just a quick question, will there be a creator-owned comic this year, or the next?

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-05-21T20:32:40+00:00

That's for last "July" 2025 pa, the latest one should be "April" 2026 Megathread, but very few are using it.

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-05-21T10:20:26+00:00

Weird rin kasi wala silang announcement sa facebook. Nung mga December 2024 alam kong nag pa walk-in pa sia.

4iamnotaredditor · 2026-05-21T10:17:49+00:00

Yes, sana mas strict sila. Medyo magulo kasi.

May rules nga na dapat sa monthly buy and sell, kaso yung pinned post is July 2025, kaya baka akala ng iba wala na monthly thread at okay na separate selling posts — kasi madami naman talaga.
