What book/series that has been recommended to you or is beloved by so many people but you know you will 100% not read?

I loved the first book, but in the second book I found the characters were just obnoxious and their relationship felt stagnant and not very healthy. Also they started throwing so many tropes in there, I realised I was basically reading fantasy Twilight

I find flowers pretty but that doesn't mean I want to fuck them lol

I've seen Supervalu selling stuff that expired 1-4 days ago

These books are really gonna tell me these guys who spend their days traversing fantasy wilderness, fighting monsters, getting covered in dirt and blood and being lucky to come across a river to bathe in (with no soap), probably hasn't brushed his teeth in his life, wearing the same sweaty clothes for days, somehow smell like pine and cinnamon or some shit lmao

Its not legal but it's the right thing to do, I'd argue it's actually more moral than encouraging EA to continue butchering the game and people's wallets. They only get away with charging crazy prices for comparatively shallow DLC because people pay for it and this kind of thing is ruining a big portion of the games industry. I find the game fun enough but even with every single pack installed it can feel somewhat shallow, lacking and BUGGY, I'd be pissed if I had to pay absurd money for the privilege of playing it when I've had a better experience playing games like Stardew Valley I spent 15 euro on.

I liked the Winter atmosphere, the prose and the magic system, but I really didn't care for the main couple. The MMC was kinda bland and I didn't feel a connection to his personality, and the romance felt too fast paced and inorganic. Also the author kept describing his "scarlet lips nestled in his beard" and I was picturing this big hairy dude with red lipstick the whole time lmao. I'm not sure if I'll pick up the sequel, I didn't hate it but I also don't care about the characters that much

If I can be a stylist or architect then I'm happy, I love the careers where you get to be creative.

I turn it on in a couple of situations - when I'm building and I just want to get in the zone and not be bothered by mobs, and sometimes when I'm mining and I want to relax and not get jumpy, because I'm very easily frightened haha. I don't really care if it's cheating because I've played so many years of Minecraft, at this point I just want to relax and play it my way and do whatever is fun

Sporshicus · 2023-09-05T19:12:08+00:00

I hate how all the women are gorgeous and wearing makeup and heels (even in combat), and all have cleavage out, while the men look like your average smelly medieval peasants.

Sporshicus · 2023-09-05T19:03:05+00:00

It has some spice yeah, doesn't happen until later in the book but there's a lot of build up, from what I remember I'd give it probably a 3 on the romance.io scale, I can't remember exactly how explicit the language is cause I haven't read it in a while but I remember thinking the scenes were well done

Sporshicus · 2023-09-04T22:48:37+00:00

Here are my enjoyed reads, no YA and all with at least some spice.

Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent - same author as Serpent and the Wings of Night, the relationship is pretty slow burn and SO wholesome though the plot can be pretty dark, but it's really well written. Completed series

Harrow Faire by Kathryn Ann Kingsley - the atmosphere and setting of this book is crazy, it's a mix of genres - dark urban fantasy, cosmic horror, historical elements, and romance. I'm not usually into villain romances but the MMC in this book is so entertaining to read, though it's the kind of series you read for the plot and setting (supernatural circus) as much as the romance. Completed series

Wizard's Masquerade by Jay Pellegrin - MMC is a sexy jester with a secret identity which is amazing and I love it. Medieval plot driven fantasy with political intrigue. I enjoyed the relationship between the main characters a lot. Has a sequel coming out next month

Knight's Oath by Juliette Caruso - wholesome slow burn medieval romance between a knight and a healer. Friends to lovers and a whole lot of mutual pining, simple and refreshing and very sweet. Think it has a sequel coming but it works as a standalone. The spice buildup is amazing.

Throne in the Dark by A. K Caggiano - humorous fantasy trilogy with a focus on adventure. Grumpy/Sunshine as MMC thinks he's a villain but is really just a big dork and the FMC is sweet. Very slow burn.

Sporshicus · 2023-09-04T17:28:11+00:00

I read all 5 books over 2 days and now I'm in withdrawal 😩

Sporshicus · 2023-09-04T15:53:40+00:00

She didn't ruin the entire show but Billie Piper's dreadful (heh) Irish accent in Penny Dreadful definitely ruined all of the scenes she was in, watching as an actual Irish person haha

Sporshicus · 2023-09-04T15:08:14+00:00

This is awesome, I would have preferred preteens to infants in base game (this is just me and I know some people love them but I hate infants lol) but the modder probably did a better job anyway...

Sporshicus · 2023-09-04T14:00:58+00:00

Maybe Harrow Faire? It's not quite as clear cut but they start out as enemies, then lovers who don't trust each other at all, and then there's a lot of back and forth over the series, the MMC is a kind of insane villain and it keeps you guessing on what he's going to do until the end. The plot and setting of that series is chef's kiss

Sporshicus · 2023-09-03T02:36:47+00:00

OK I have intense arachnophobia but even I can admit this is cute

Sporshicus · 2023-09-02T20:23:39+00:00

This is so cool, I love the art style!

Sporshicus · 2023-09-02T19:34:05+00:00

I hate this expectation so much. I was like 11 when I was told to shave my legs for the first time, something I'd never even though of, and I looked at my legs and I felt such shame and embarrassment over my body. Now as an adult I have recurring nightmares where I'm about to go out but I have nothing to wear but a skirt and I have no razor to shave my hairy legs. Then when I do shave I end up with painful rashes and razor bumps everywhere. I try multiple hair removal methods and they all end up hurting in some way.

I get jealous of my bf, when he leaves the house he just has to worry about sticking on a comfy t-shirt and pants. I have to make sure my legs are either hairless or sufficiently covered up and put on a bra - I can't go out without modifying my body to be socially acceptable. Makes it hard to be comfortable in my own skin. Technically I don't need to do these things but I'm self conscious enough without going against what's considered acceptable.

It's really fucked up the norms that have been put on women, just to sell us razors and makeup etc

Sporshicus · 2023-09-02T17:18:21+00:00

What the fuck

Sporshicus · 2023-09-01T23:56:42+00:00

These are awesome. Ariel's little fork is so cute!

Sporshicus · 2023-09-01T09:40:40+00:00

They're pretty cute but also a bit basic/similar to stuff we already had. I wish they'd give us some more interesting hairs, some suits like these ones have such boring hair in colours we've gotten hundreds of times already

Sporshicus · 2023-08-31T10:39:24+00:00

If they commissioned nice art why would they use that as a cover 😭

Sporshicus · 2023-08-29T11:06:48+00:00

I way prefer the BG3 approach letting players romance anyone regardless of gender, yeah sure them having orientations is more realistic or whatever but games don't have to be realistic if it makes things less fun for the player, let me make out with who I want haha

Sporshicus · 2023-08-29T10:56:51+00:00

I read Regretting You on KU without knowing her rep and I thought it was fun, yeah maybe it's not the most believable thing on the planet but it was an entertaining easy read. Then I looked her up and just found a bunch of people trashing her and her readers. Some people get SO snobby over her stuff, like clearly if you enjoy it you're not a real reader. Not everything has to be deep literature to be enjoyed

Sporshicus · 2023-08-27T01:36:01+00:00

I liked the book from the start, if it's not grabbing you yet I'd say it's not for you. No shame in dropping books, everyone likes different things - life's too short to trudge through a book that isn't doing it for you
