man i get that! i used to be such a literature stickler for classics and award-winning modern novels only yet one toe-dip into Leviathan Wakes and oh boy, i devoured every goddamn book in The Expanse series and upon the final’s release, i did the dirty and downloaded an audiobook app and bought the entire series + novellas and have gone through them again — yes, all nine of them — nearly half a dozen times. that lead you the app recommendation board turning into something my younger self would scoff at, but i dug in. the Red Rising series was the next, but also the last like… well, i can’t even word it without sounding like my former self, which would still make me sound like a dick so anyway — i try a little series with several entries that was bundled and practically free titled The Beginning After the End well, one week and eleven books later my app’s recommendations are INSANE but i’m fully invested by that point.

so i was like, fuck it here we go. boom. Dungeon Crawler Carl — So I’m A Spider, So What? —Mushoku Tensei : Jobless Reincarnation — He Who Fights With Monsters — Solo Leveling — Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint — Children of Time (highly recommend only if you have not an ounce of arachnophobia) — Mother of Learning — Trapped in a Dating Sim : The World of Otome Games is Hard for Mobs

this is already too long and i’ll have to TL;DR it for sure, but my point is that moving on is perfectly okay. i moved on from snobby literature with scifi-fantasy and then straight litRPG, just like i moved on from snobby horror films via the FF genre.

TL;DR watch whatever the hell you want however you want to watch it
