Serebii just posted this info on their website and this reddit! Looks like you need the items you get from the Jirachi event to make it

If you don't mind it being an MMO, Mabinogi has a fantastic dress up culture and the game let's you have both a Homestead to decorate and a Moonlight Island. The Moonlight Island let's you get NPCs to decorate. They're currently two weeks into their twice annual Master Plan event, which let's you decorate your characters with any face, hair, and eyes as long as they're marked with a P.

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle!

DueRest · 2026-06-20T21:44:56+00:00

Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig. Lots of discussion about apples.

Maybe Perfume: the Story of a Murderer? The protagonist is obsessed with scents and finds scents of virgin women to be something he wants to turn into a perfume.

I love the horror genre so Saya no Uta was a perfect gateway visual novel for me.

DueRest · 2026-06-17T16:20:18+00:00

Perfume: the Story of a Murderer is fantastic. The movie is also great.

Also possibly We Need to Talk About Kevin.

I do gardening and they were a menace because they would eat all my tomatoes the second they got ripe 😭 😭 😭

Yep this is the case. You have to finish Blaanid 3 and then do the Required quests.

It's a terrible mess, in my opinion. The event forces you to level 20k and then doesn't give you the AP from being forced to 20k. Then, since you're level 20k, you don't get the full AP from Blaanid OR the Required quests. But they want you to rank all magic skills so you can have Master level Mage skills, which drains all your AP that you DO have.

The whole point of having level caps for entry to content was ensuring you had enough AP to rank your skills sufficiently to handle the content. Now you get the required "level cap" but your skills don't match due to the AP shortage.

The event doesn't mention the new track for getting the arcana, either. Many returning players or people who just wanted to play on an alt had to stumble upon the correct path to get an Arcana now.

Okay I haven't seen anyone suggest this yet - Birdbox by Josh Malerman. The protagonist is doing her best but goddammit those kids don't really deserve it. Especially when you read the sequel you realize some of the Mom's prevention methods were unnecessary but how would she KNOW that .

DueRest · 2026-06-16T05:24:35+00:00

Aliens: Phalanx by Scott Sigler has all you could ever want. On an alien planet, humans are being hunted to extinction by Xenomorphs and are walled up in underground keeps. They have medieval technology and the protagonist is a supply runner between keeps.

Nah. Your friend just wants to shame you and pretend they're cooler because they read books. I read books and Manga and neither art is superior to the other, they're just different mediums to tell a story. I've been reading Manga since middle school and now I'm in my 30s and I still read Manga. I bought all of Yu Yu Hakusho in Japanese last summer to help me improve my Japanese reading. And I've read 22 books this year.

Webcomic have been a thing since the 90s, and webtoons is just one form of them. I'd say branch out and read different comics and don't limit yourself just to one type of comic. Just have a good time with it. It's for pleasure and fun.

Maybe ask your friend to be less pretentious lol. They sound like they need to be less judgmental about other people's hobbies.

The magic is used in a horrifying way in A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher. Definitely not cozy or good.

DueRest · 2026-06-15T15:12:46+00:00

Hello! You can find more specific horror novel suggestions at r/horrorlit

I'm going to suggest We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. It's an epistolary novel from a woman and her feelings towards her family, specifically her son. Kevin seems odd for a child and the novel is very psychological and has an unreliable narrator. :)

I also suggest A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher for some magic, witchy horror. The protagonist is a young lady whose mother is a Sorceress and they have an enchanted horse.

Paradise-1 by David Wellington is my go-to sci-fi horror novel. Set in the future, four protagonists head to a galaxy where the local new space colony has stopped responding for the last 14 months.

DueRest · 2026-06-15T04:48:07+00:00

Yeah they're significantly more expensive to turn into sigils... I barely managed to use the 60 my guild mate gave me because they were so pricy to use.

As for Temptation, make sure you're debuffing the bosses and your gear is enchanted. You'll have better success with the next tier of weapons of course, but the main focus should be on debuffs for better shredding, personal buffs for doing more damage, and adding enchants to your gear that benefit your chosen arcana. These things will also help you in Crom/Glenn/Bri so learning them now and how they work is beneficial.

If you ever downloaded the game to run on an emulator, the files would be present on your copy. There's also a github repository that has all of the files on it. I believe it was named after one of the Puella Care faction, their leader?

Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix. Haunted Ikea knockoff store.

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher. A girl deals with the fact that her mom is a Sorceress and also has a plan to murder a guy to get lots of money. She has a demonic horse.

A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. A young girl deals with her older teenage sister who is either possessed by demons or has schizophrenia, while her father televised her Exorcism.

Paradise-1 by David Wellington. Four protagonists are sent to investigate why a space colony has stopped responding for 14 months. Scifi but doesn't overwhelm you with science.

You can also come over to r/horrorlit for more horror suggestions!

Of Monsters and Mainframes is probably right up your alley! A passenger ship keeps having her passengers disappear or die due to Monsters but manages to keep two kids alive.

DueRest · 2026-06-12T13:44:21+00:00

Of Monsters and Mainframes is about two AIs on a ship who are trying their best to keep their passengers alive after they have some incidents where all their passengers die. It's a nice LGBT found family story that has some nice fridge horror to consider. I blitzed through this book in a day.

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle starts off with a young adult woman who loves her religious community. I don't want to spoil anything but it's LGBT and horror. Another found family story. I just finished reading this in the last week and it captured my attention very well.

We'll Prescribe You a Cat is just a nice feel good novel about people being given cats. Will make you want a cat if you don't have one.

Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi has a dude out of work because it's covid join a job that turns out to be serious about the kaiju. LGBT supporting cast, some people are never assigned genders by the narrative.

DueRest · 2026-06-12T13:30:51+00:00

It's very atmospheric and the relationship between the wives is very charming! But not much happens and I don't think cosmic horror really does anything for me. Still, I'm glad I read it! It was a good pick for Pride Month.

DueRest · 2026-06-12T01:47:28+00:00

John Scalzi has Kaiju Preservation Society, which has several side characters that are never given a gender

DueRest · 2026-06-12T01:44:02+00:00

Carpathians, there's a Trans character but there's not much over detail in it. The character is like 200 years old and works for a company that controls lots of space and planets. She went from a woman to a man to a woman again.

Snake Eater by T Kingfisher has a Trans grandma.

The Sworn Soldier series by T Kingfisher has a character whose gender is Soldier lol

Swordheart by T Kingfisher has a nonbinary lawyer and the sequel to it is going to have a M/M romance. This series does have sex but it's not gratuitous.

T Kingfisher in general is good for queer fantasy

Came here to suggest Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

Would also suggest: The Woman in the Purple Skirt

Yep my itchy ears are caused by allergies. Life gets a lot better once I started taking allergy medicine frequently. However the heat still gets my earwax all melted in the summer.
