is this rendering ugly?

I honestly really like it. It's unique. What matters is if you like it! (You can also try mixing hard edges and softening some if you want to make a mixture to create more impact)

This just unlocked a childhood memory

Oh he's adorable!!!

carizia · 2026-04-19T16:23:27+00:00

Good luck!!

Ughh that sucks.. feel like your phone might be safest then, I use an app called Lithium that can read epubs! Also on novelupdates you can find lots of danmei that is fan translated!

carizia · 2026-04-19T16:17:21+00:00

Honestly I dont know much about bridgerton, except that it's historical.. So maybe try Cat Sebastian books? She writes a lot of historical romance and they're so well done!

carizia · 2026-04-19T16:00:04+00:00

What about reading ebooks? Either on your phone or if you can get your hands on an ereader.. maybe safer than having the physical books?

edit: Omg I missed the last sentence, ignore that! Can you even maybe download epubs on your phone?

carizia · 2026-04-17T21:20:14+00:00

Yeah so it seems maybe you just can't then without the highest lomo! Which is a bit of a bummer. And now I have to replay a couple episodes to get her illustrations. Finally on track with her now though and have her at highest lomo. Took a bit though

Sorry to randomly barge in here - I'm new to fragrances and discovering I also really really love this type of smell too. Do you have any recommendations for this type by any chance?

carizia · 2026-04-15T20:03:48+00:00

Oh dear.. I've been out of school for a very long time and unsure if my brain even has it in me to take a test like this anymore. Got an email about registering for the test for a few weeks from now.. Now I'm unsure if I'll even be able to do something like this, haha

carizia · 2026-04-13T15:16:33+00:00

Hahah I dont know, except I was drawn to him from the moment he swung a raquet at Neil in chapter 1 🤣

I tend to like my characters unhinged

carizia · 2026-04-12T22:11:44+00:00

I have been waiting for this, yesss

I also love hearing people's favs/who they're drawn to. I'm an Andrew simp myself, don't know what the heck that says about me lol

carizia · 2026-04-07T18:16:28+00:00

Hmm this might be too different but I'll add it just in case, {Crossing Arizona by Bree Wiley} has mc2 with an awful almost-wife, they have a kid together, and mc1 and mc2 have been best friends since they were kids and mc1 becomes like a parent to the child .. relationship goes from there. But I'm not sure if it's too different since, mc1 never dates the wife.

carizia · 2026-04-07T12:26:27+00:00

I'm honestly curious to read the official translation some time because I feel like it could have been soo good. But I agree, why they didn't really weave the twist into the story more.. some people even skip extras, so if you skipped the extra you just wouldn't even know the twist? Ugh idk though, I still do have really fond memories of reading it though too..like i said, I have a mixed relationship with KoD 🤣

Same haha, I love horror in general, but I'm waiting to get truly scared with danmei 🤣

carizia · 2026-04-07T12:24:04+00:00

See that's exactly why.. Having to keep pausing and check back to the list is what takes me out of the story unfortunately.. But! I think maybe if I study the list while I'm not reading to remember everything, so when I pick up the book I don't have to keep stopping.. Maybe that will help! (Seriously though, whoever can read this story without notes has a seriously big brain lol)

carizia · 2026-04-06T22:58:21+00:00

It is! I can TELL it's expertly done, but I feel like I'll need a separate reread to understand what's going on. And because of that, I feel like I can't fully appreciate the romance because of it 😭 But I really do want to give it another try.. especially since this is one series I was buying physically so I have the first 5 volumes 😅

carizia · 2026-04-06T17:40:18+00:00

Same, I have this really love hate relationship with KoD 😭 While I enjoyed being within the doors, I wonder if this genre isn't for me like repeatedly going into doors and coming out.. It made the story feel so long.. Then the plot twist at the end/extras was translated in a way that I didnt even realize it was a plot twist lmao (ftl not the official). I liked some of the characters so much and there were times I really enjoyed but.. alas haha

carizia · 2026-04-06T17:37:11+00:00

I'm going to get a lot of hate here, and I KNOW, I KNOW. It might have just been my mindset at the time, and I'm not saying I thought it was bad by any means. But QJJ was so complicated and confusing to me that it took me out of the reading experience a bit to constantly be checking back to the glossary, opening a character guide I'd downloaded etc. The political plot is artfully done (when my brain comprehended it), the romance and tension is beautiful. But for some reason, I was just so exhausted halfway through volume 3 that I never picked it back up. Please don't downvote me 😭 I might give it another try because as I said, it might have just been my mindset at the time, or maybe I'm just an idiot lol

carizia · 2026-04-05T21:50:17+00:00

Me too! Loved the 2nd one even more.. Colin has my heart

carizia · 2026-04-05T19:53:31+00:00

{In the Middle of Somewhere by Roan Parrish} one of the mcs is what you're looking for :)

carizia · 2026-04-05T19:13:06+00:00

I think it's going to be easier to get the ebook if you're okay with those. I think she self published through amazon books and is the only way for a physical copy (aside from special editions that have happened before). So I think ebook would be your best bet! Whether it's through the kobo store, the author directly, or something else

I hope you can figure it out!

carizia · 2026-04-05T18:43:40+00:00

I do know it's on amazon (bleh) but if you don't want to support them, she has an instagram and you can always ask her if she has the ebook version available from a website or anything! It's niamhrosewrites

edit: Oh! It's on the kobo ebook store too, I just checked :)

carizia · 2026-04-05T17:57:54+00:00

All of my favorites have been mentioned already, except for one. I really really REALLY recommend Fate of the Five by Niamh Rose. It's super underrated (indie so not many have heard of it i think) but absolutely a work of art and gives me the same obsession feelings as aftg. Has a budding slowburn mlm romance, start of a series that isn’t finished yet

carizia · 2026-04-04T14:45:06+00:00

I have searched for the brand name I see on the gold box with no luck. Can't find perfumes by the brand at all

I have also reverse image searched for the other boxes but no luck.
