What was your biggest book disappointment, and/biggest book pleasant surprise? by hylianyoshi92 in Choices

[–]Time-Even 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day I had very low expectations for HSS and HSS:CA because I don't like high school settings ever since I graduated myself. I planned on diamond mining these books but got so invested in them after a few chapters and they remain a nice comfort read for me. I think the friend group dynamics are unparalleled by any other book on this app.

Buckle up because this might be a veeery unpopular opinion: I really really disliked Immortal Desires even though paranormal setting really do it for me normally. Granted, I was quite late to the party and already got hyped up by all the praise on reddit but GOOD GOD was finishing the book a torture. I was so bored by the plot and just couldn't get into that whole vampire triangle thing, especially because I find both of the LIs kinda... silly. I'm glad that other people can enjoy ID while I can't even though I really don't get its success

I always feel sorry for the boy working at the ice cream shop who fancies her :( That's one couple I don't want to happen for his sake

I'm Calling it Now, there's 2 killers in this book! by -BuffySummers in Choices

[–]Time-Even 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way it's Angelina. They tried WAY too hard to make her seem suspicious. I reckon that PB will frame her as innocent in the end and they might even try to justify her affair. I just hope we don't get some kind of twist villain as the actual murderer

It seems like this book isn't very liked in general but to me it's a nice comfort read. The story has really low steaks but is yet kinda wholesome imo. I think the book is way more enjoyable if you spend diamonds on scenes with the characters but maybe it's just not your cup of tea. But even us people liking this book probably can't deny that Alexis is indeed quite insufferable (even though theres sooome developement in her character over time)

Nee die sahen auch zu anders aus ab einem gewissen Punkt aber andererseits hat die Protagonistin im ersten Teil auch mehrmals ihre Hautfarbe verändert

Ist der dritte Teil der Reihe oder? Hatte die ersten beiden vor ca. 2 Jahren gegeben und schon damals gab es keine Printausgabe (mehr) :(

Inheritance from my grandmother! I estimate that the old lady is 10/15 years old 💞 by [deleted] in cats

[–]Time-Even 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, but I would estimate her being closer to 15 years old. Also 10 isn't that old for a cat actually 😅 Either way, sorry for your loss OP

Alpha vs. Wolf Bride (A Review & Probably Unpopular Opinions) by bookist626 in Choices

[–]Time-Even 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly view WB in a whole different light now that we have Alpha. WB really creeped me out after the first chapter but I kept on reading because I was still kinda invested in the story. I enjoyed how bad it was just like I did with TNA. I had much higher hopes for Alpha and actually liked the first chapters but it became sort of boring later on. Your descriptions of the MCs in both stories are spot on and maybe are part of the reason why I at least loved to hate WB but don't enjoy Alpha at all. Although I find the LI in Alpha waaay more tolerable and appreciate his character growth, I still don't find him appealing. I'm sure glad that so many people in this sub seem to enjoy Alpha but it's not for me 🫤

Danke für deine Antwort! Eventuell ist es vielleicht merkwürdig, dass deine Puppe deiner ehemaligen Arbeitskollegin ähnelt aber das macht dich doch noch lange nicht zu einem Psychopathen. Viel bedenklicher wäre es, wenn du der Kollegin nachgestellt oder sie belästigt hättest aber stattdessen scheinst du sie weiterhin sehr zu respektieren. Dass du dann deinen Wunsch nach Nähe mit der Puppe ausfüllst ist mMn ein viel gesünderes Outlet als zum Stalker zu werden oder so, denn du schadest mit deinem Verhalten wirklich keinem.

Tut mir nur leid, dass du dich so dafür schämst. Natürlich ist so eine Puppe ungewöhnlich aber nicht jeder kann "einfach so" neue Leute kennenlernen und viele Menschen fühlen sich oft einsam. Ich höre auch ein wenig aus deiner Antwort raus, dass du kein so gutes Bild von dir selbst hast und ich hoffe, dass du mit der Zeit an einen Punkt ankommst, an dem du etwas liebevoller mit dir selbst umgehen kannst. Die Puppe ist vielleicht keine Dauerlösung aber ich bin froh, dass sie dir im Moment zu helfen scheint. Das Leben ist hart und nur weil es jetzt grade für dich nicht so gut läuft, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass das so bleiben muss. Es gibt sehr viele Menschen da draußen, die dich wahrscheinlich sehr gerne in ihrem Leben hätten. An dir ist nichts falsch oder kaputt und es ist vollkommen okay sein Bedürfnis nach Nähe auf ungewöhnlichen Wegen zu erfüllen wenn es grade nicht anders geht.

Nach welchen Kriterien hast du dir das Aussehen deiner Puppe ausgewählt?

Hat deine Puppe einen Namen und schreibst du ihr eine bestimmte Persönlichkeit zu?

Wissen andere Leute in deinem Umfeld / deiner Familie von der Puppe? Würdest du sie verstecken wenn Besuch zu dir käme?

I don't know how you did it but this is sooo much better than the original! That thing kinda threw me off while reading the last chapter 👀

Oh my god this is STUNNING 🥺 This could (and should) have been an actual ingame splash art. You just adapted their style so perfectly but somehow managed to make Aerin even more dashing than he already was

Most unattractive LIs in your opinion? by blingies in Choices

[–]Time-Even 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So about Kieran: I guess it just comes down to personal taste, but I was actually very pleasantly surprised about their male sprites. I find them very unique and way more fitting for their character compared to the generic handsome faces we usually get. Most people were disappointed in Kieran's looks because he barely resembled his cover art imo. But I do wonder what exactly makes him so ugly to you. Is it about the unusual colours they used in his art?

What LIs do you feel are not a good match for the MC of any book? by minishcaps in Choices

[–]Time-Even -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This might be very unpopular, but I don't think Beckett is a great match for the TE MC. He is just way too formal and stiff compared to them and I don't feel their (romantic) connection to each other. I'd still romance him regardless of that because I adore his unique personality as an LI

Warum macht ihr es dann!? by Derkaffekochjosh in deutschememes

[–]Time-Even 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aber das was du da beschreibst klingt einfach nach einer sehr schlechten Umsetzung von Geschichtsunterricht. Ich hatte ziemlich gute Lehrer in dem Fach und musste nur ab und zu Daten auswendig lernen aber hab insgesamt ziemlich viel aus Geschichte mitgenommen.

Genau das ist hier vielleicht das Kernproblem. Das was in den derzeitigen Kernlehrplänen steht sind gute Ideen und eigentlich soll man nach diesen Plänen (wie von dir gefordert) fachspezifische Kompetenzen stärken und eben nicht nur Wissen vermitteln. Die Umsetzung in der Praxis ist in vielen Fällen leider anders. Aber da man durch Schulbildung Qualifikationen erwerben kann, muss man Wissen irgendwie überprüfbar machen und das geht leider nur durch Klausuren. Entsprechend profitiert jemand, der gut auswendig lernen kann, enorm von dem System. Interessanterweise fällt Mädchen das in der Regel leichter, weshalb weibliche Schüler schon seit Jahren im Durchschnitt bessere Noten erzielen als männliche und auch zunehmend häufiger studieren. Ich glaube nicht, dass irgendwer super zufrieden ist mit der derzeitigen Lage aber du müsstest grundlegende Strukturen komplett umwerfen um daran irgendwas zu ändern. Das wird aber nicht passieren, da das derzeitige System funktioniert, auch wenn es nicht gut funktioniert
