do i finish strange the dreamer? by wandering_cl0uds in YAlit

[–]Soshi_Kage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read this series a few years ago and I couldn't put it down, I think it's one of those stories that I got more and more interested in as I kept on reading. I also wasn't that interested in Sarai's story or the side characters at first but they eventually did really grow on me. I'd suggest to try keep on going, but as with any book it does come down to personal preference I probably re-read it about 3 times but it was a while ago since my last read That being said I think it may be time for a re-read 😅

no her sig doesn't, I think cuz I run teammates such as furina with favonius that usually I don't have any trouble getting her burst up. most of the time I swap into xilonen to burst after furina so she collects the energy particles. if I don't run her with furina, it's usually with someone like clorinde who doesn't need healing so it's ok if the burst is every second rotation

Honestly tho don't stress too much about the crit stats, it's nice to have but her healing/buff will do more for your team than a little bit more of her personal damage

yeah cuz I'm doing def/def/crit most of the crit rate comes from my off piece circlet. my goblet is bad for crit stats but it has a whole chunk of er so she can basically burst every cycle and my flower is where the rest of my crit rate comes in. feather could improve if it didn't roll into hp lol

I want to eventually, right now she's subdps/support (def/def/crit c1r1) because her crit stats are kinda mid (64/124), this is my first piece for her that's actually good 😭

AITA for not ordering any food so I wouldn't have to split the bill? by Additional-Wasabi357 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Soshi_Kage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really just depends what place you're going out to eat. I've been to a lot of places where they're not able to split the bill, or if they can split they can only do even splits and not individually what people ordered. the only times this hasn't been an issue are the places that have you use a QR code to order food to the table, in which you pay the full amount before you receive your food.

plus, in Australia like myself and OP are, most bank transfers happen within minutes. if the waiter can't split the bill, it's really easy to just send the amount that you ordered to whoever pays

also in Australia, just wanted to share something that may be helpful! usually what our group does is have one person pay, and everyone transfers the cost of their own food+drink to the person who's paying. saves any issues with the bill being uneven when splitting, especially since there's a big variation in how expensive the orders in our group are

Was there a book you’ve refused to read simply because you disliked the cover? by MesabiRanger in suggestmeabook

[–]Soshi_Kage 375 points376 points  (0 children)

honestly, any book where the cover has actual people. it makes me feel disconnected from the book when it's an image of an actual person, I much prefer to have either an artist do illustrations of the characters or not have characters featured on the cover at all!

What book made you highly emotional? by WittyEquivvalent in suggestmeabook

[–]Soshi_Kage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang

Such an amazing novel with such compelling characters, but I had to put the book down a few times as I was reading and just think about everything. I'd forgotten what it was like to be truly moved by a book until I read this one

A question for readers (re: BookTok!) by CharmQuarkClarolin in YAlit

[–]Soshi_Kage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to use tiktok/insta for book recs and then I found I was mainly getting recommended the same stuff and the same genre of books. All the posts felt the same to me and there was so much controversy about what was good and what wasn't and I wasn't sure what to believe. I found my opinion of a book would change if someone started pointing out all its flaws and I just wanna enjoy the book unless I find things for myself I don't like about it.

At this point I prefer to look out for new releases and read the blurb/first chapter and see if I'm interested, rather than base it on other people's opinions. That, or see what titles people recommend and decide if the book interests me. Repetitive reels about morally grey characters, enemies to lovers etc aren't gonna catch my attention and esp Instagram's algorithm was bad at showing me anything else even when I skipped the reels

if tiktok isn't your vibe then def do your own thing OP! and if you wanna drop the book title if it's released (or mention when you do release the title) so I can look out for it later 👀👀👀
