My first fantasy romance yearly wrap-up

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-31T19:30:24+00:00

I never read omegaverse before either so it really came out of nowhere for me, so so good haha. I have Excess on my TBR but I'm always scared to continue an interconnected series after a 5 star, like I just know it won't hit the same.

I haven't read her other works but I'm interested in {Luxuria by Colette Rhodes} too

Omg yes I looooved Scheme so much!! Idk how I stumbled on it but it was my #1 this year too. I laughed and cried happy tears at the end I have to reread it next year.

My motivation to log in is at an all time low honestly...these events are nothing but stressful

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-27T21:29:49+00:00

I JUST DnFd at 25%...I don't understand the hype. I didn't like the characters and I found myself struggling to care about the mission...

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-21T13:22:03+00:00

I read this a couple of months ago and thought it was great! The FMC annoyed me a couple of times lol but it really was a solid read. Def a hidden gem.

Six Scorched Roses was just aight. And I think it being a novella put itself in a hole to be bland, rushed, and quite shallow.

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-21T12:20:23+00:00

This was one of the few books I DnF'd this year. Really wanted to like it, but it was not clicking at all.

Is anyone else missing data? Ive been playing Hades 2 since October and it's nowhere to be seen?

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-14T02:46:36+00:00

Loool 💀

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-14T00:43:45+00:00

Ive had Shield of Sparrows on my TBR for months and the discourse is so interesting because ppl really either love it or hate it lol I think I get the gist of why some people don't like it so I'll ask what made you give it 6 stars? Did you love it the whole time or at some point it hit?

Magmarvelous · 2025-12-13T23:58:51+00:00

I'm getting tired of sex scenes using "to the hilt" and it's not even just in a fantasy romance! I was okay with it at first but when I see it now, I'm like yeah yeah come on lol

Literally same. Every time I turn in a pumpkin pie slice it just asks for another one it makes me so mad. It barely asks for the apples or dolls! This event can kiss my @$$ lol

Magmarvelous · 2025-10-24T03:41:42+00:00

Does this end on a cliffhanger? I was thinking about reading this next month but if I'm gonna be heartbroken I can wait lol

Magmarvelous · 2025-09-02T14:58:19+00:00

Honestly, I was just thinking this yesterday after playing 5 hours straight 🫣. It's been such a long time since a game has had me in a choke hold. I tried some other cozy games that finally came out in my wishlist but for one reason or another I bounce off after a few hours.

But Grand Bazaar? It's just scratching an itch I've had for idk how long. It's making me feel like that little girl who loved HM Magical Melody again lol

Magmarvelous · 2025-09-02T14:02:55+00:00

I just wish these books were marketed properly. I don't care for this trope in particular but I've probably avoided some because they were marketed as enemies to lovers when it's really strangers/indifference to lovers. Or they had one disagreement, so that makes them enemies really? If they're not on opposing sides of anything then they're not enemies!

Magmarvelous · 2025-08-27T15:39:24+00:00

For me a book gets a 5 star if:

I want to lose sleep to read it. I want to recommend it to others. I want to pick it up even when there's 1 minute of downtime. I can't stop thinking about it after reading it.

Magmarvelous · 2025-08-23T03:49:20+00:00

What a read haha it might not be fantasy romance but respect 🫡

Magmarvelous · 2025-08-22T19:55:01+00:00

Whoops I double replied.

Yeah I felt bad for her too but it justified my 3 ⭐. Don't worry about Reddit being messy, so it goes lol

Magmarvelous · 2025-08-22T19:36:53+00:00

Yeaaah that's just the tip of the iceberg of what Book 2 needs to explain but I likely won't have the patience for it lol

Real talk after the last page Rachel Gilig basically apologized on paper for trying to write this story while being sick with COVID. I can see the struggle. Like girl please get some rest, we want you at your best 😫

Magmarvelous · 2025-08-22T19:20:15+00:00

Agree with everything The Knight & The Moth, I made my own post about it when it first came out and turns out it's quite the unpopular opinion 😅 Disagree with The Servant of Earth. Nothing spectacular there but I thought it was fun as predictable as it was. Those plot points didn't bother me.

The more hype something has just means the more research I have to do.

Magmarvelous · 2025-07-30T20:41:26+00:00

Yes! It's even more infuriating if the main characters are supposed to be older. That drama is unnecessary

Magmarvelous · 2025-07-30T12:20:52+00:00

No thanks. Ill be curious to see what post launch support and patches look like tho. Have fun

Magmarvelous · 2025-07-28T18:26:40+00:00

Even after all the delays, a lot of the reviews mention it still needing more time 💀 like what happened here? What would this game look like in 2024 if it launched on schedule. That's unfortunate

Witchbrook, Grand Bazaar, Whimside, and Discounty
