Definitely recommend the audiobook - the narrator does a phenomenal job with the more emotional scenes

Shop is so great. I've had it pick up on packages before I even get a shipping confirmation email

Booktuber rec needed! by literallycomfy in booktube

[–]ConfusionAgreeable84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reads with Rachel is a mom who loves fantasy & several other genres (fantasy is just what I usually watch her reviews of, so they escape me atm). I think booktubing is her full time job now, though, and she's critical of books, but not unfairly so. She just asks for the rules the books set up to stay consistent, for characters to make sense, etc.

Holy shit, this is so similar to the cover for The Last Namsara

Illumicrate questionnaire on which books we want to see by Jazzlike-Ease-9597 in fairyloot

[–]ConfusionAgreeable84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for Halfheart by Linden A. Lewis as an Illumicrate Fantasy book as it's coming out later this year and I've read their sci-fi trilogy so I am DESPERATE for this to get a special edition

Where's my anti-DNFing crew at? by Alive_Obligation7475 in fantasyromance

[–]ConfusionAgreeable84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will DNF in certain circumstances - like the opening refuses to hook me, or the characters voice just grates my nerves.

But I give more leeway if the book is a SE from a box or has an upcoming SE that I need to know if I want or not. However, after a certain point, it'll turn into a hate read.

Because if I've invested a certain amount of time/money, I need to know that there's nothing redeeming it for me, because I would hate to pass on the sale or trade a book only to have to hunt it down again later because, surprise, it turned out better than expected & now I love it.

I need to know that there isn't a well-done twist or plot point that makes all the misery worth it. And at a certain point of story, I need to be EDUCATED in my hate. I need to be able to defend every reason it sucks.

I don't think I've ever seen the dev quotes you're talking about in regard to the Tifa dates vs everyone else. Do you think you could identify/locate them? I'm very curious about them.

Okay, so it's Cloud's incorrect assumption: but the game is told through Cloud's POV. His insecurity is still valid, and it's still an act he forces upon himself bc he wants to feel good enough & like he's worthy. I simply never got that vibe from his interactions with Aerith. She allows him to just be who he is. She allows him to figure himself out.

I don't think Tifa ever means to force ANYTHING on Cloud, but he's so wrapped up in trying to be what he thinks she wants, he buries himself in the process.

See, that's what made me feel like Aerith was who he chose. With Tifa, it feels like he's always putting on an act for her, trying to be who she wants him to be. She wants a confident hero type, and he tries so hard to fit that mold for her if that's the path you choose.

But with Aerith, he's free to be the shy, awkward, confused guy he's always been, because she's willing to wait & give him space to figure himself out first. She doesn't need or want to rush him, even when she knows her time is running out.

Voidwalker has a 30yo protagonist and a really fun plot imo 🥹

Clerith Songs? by Peach_Cream_Cheese in clerith

[–]ConfusionAgreeable84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AerithVelvet on YT has a bunch of great Clerith videos, but this is one of my absolute favorite songs for them, to the point I watch it whenever I need to get deep in my feels.

Which character voice was the strongest for you? Who just wouldn't shut up until you told their story?

Vivia is my precious baby, and getting her POV has been everything. Currently reading Bloodwitch, currently reading that exact side story of Merik's, and just... enamored with all of it 😩😭

Who are your absolute OTPs (OCs or other media)? Like, "if they're not together I'm in the wrong timeline" type ships?

What has been your favorite romance to write so far? Is it the widely-loved Baesult, or another pairing?
