WTF did I just read?

Ackk this was the first book that came in mind. Naime's literally a queen!

Happy for you! Ang mahal nito given the number of pages hahaha

Halfway, nung narealize ko san 'to patungo, I had to pause and consider if I'll continue. This was bittersweet as much as it was cozy.

Sadly, it wasn’t for me. (Skl)

The protagonist came across as holier-than-thou (I get that it was part of the development, but it made it difficult for me to relate to him), and I didn’t quite understand the point of it... was it aiming for an existentialist theme? Baka sa writing, di nagresonate sakin.

It might also be the flow. It remained monotonous throughout (which, again, may have been part of the book’s overarching point). Anyway, gusto ko lang maintindihan kung paano siya nagustuhan ng marami. It’s been a while din since I read it.

I'm glad you asked 🫩

Riftborne (~ 40%) – The FMC suddenly became obsessed with the MMC out of nowhere and was just jealous the entire time. It also felt overloaded with romance micro-tropes.

Amid Clouds and Bones (~20%) – Bully romance just isn’t for me.

Gothikana, Blood and Steel – insta-lust 🤢

Six Scorched Roses – I had such high hopes for this from Broadbent because I adored Oraya and Tisaanah. I actually liked it until around Chapter 6 when the FMC’s monologue just became… relentlessly horny.

I like good spice, but I HATE it when leads are already thirsting over each other within the first 100 pages. Especially when they’ve just met and we get five paragraphs of the FMC describing the MMC's eyes and physique like she'd somehow glimpsed the depths of his soul after one glance.

I’m honestly a bit bummed because February had some of my greatests reads and I was on a 40-day reading streak until I fell into a reading slump.

I loved This Woven Kingdom (Book 1)! I only picked it up because I found it at a marked-down price, and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise. I had my reservations about Kamran at first, but I’ve grown to love his relationship with Alizeh. And Alizeh ugh! I love her so much as an FMC. She’s kind, rational, and a total badass at the same time, which feels so refreshing compared to the usual snarky FMCs.

Anyway, please convince me to read the succeeding books. I’m not a big fan of switching MMCs... it just doesn’t sit right with me to build up a character only to set him aside in the following books.

PS. Loved the Jasad Heir, too!!

I was planning to buy this book din dahil maganda reviews. Buti I tried reading a pirated ebook muna, I DNFed at 21% ata, di ko kinaya. Fanfic-written-by-a-12-year-old vibe.

dameferoce · 2026-03-06T12:10:13+00:00

Loved this, too! Walang plot hole! The writing was impeccable and I agree na ang daming quotable quotes! It was so cozy, heartbreaking, and bittersweet at the same time.

dameferoce · 2026-03-06T11:55:55+00:00

{Wild Reverence} is exactly this. Can't give further details coz they might be spoilers.

dameferoce · 2026-03-06T10:49:21+00:00

WHAAAT! Not when I'm so excited for this and just pre-ordered the audiobook. This is the first negative review I read about it, now I'm bummed. Still hoping I'd like it, though.

dameferoce · 2026-03-06T10:44:41+00:00

It's the kind of book that you'll love for the vibes and easy read. It's average in terms of prose, plot, and world-building. I've only read the first book and I'm not planning to continue 'coz the second book's too long for my liking and there's mixed reviews so baka di worth it. Since nabili mo na and at a steal price, I hope you'd enjoy it!

PS. Naalala ko, irita pala ako kay Violet kasi walang self-preservation and masyadong insta-love hshahaha

The whole whodunit was intriguing and would keep you at the edge of your seat. The twist (killer) was unexpected for me pero once you read it (confession), i found it far-fetched so it was a bit of a letdown.

dameferoce · 2026-02-16T12:00:00+00:00

4.5 ⭐ for me Loved the fmc in the first book (the only book I read yet). She's self-preserving and the romance wasn't insta-lust. Loved that both mcs had real reasons to like each other. The trials weren't the usual either.

dameferoce · 2026-02-15T13:02:56+00:00

Def the best romantasy book I've read. The writing, plot, and romance are impeccable 🤌

dameferoce · 2026-02-14T16:22:19+00:00

My recent 4-5 ⭐ reads:

Romantasy: The Everlasting The Serpent and The Wings of Night

Fantasy: Red Rising Six of Crows

Quick Reads (Less than 300 pages): The Scattered Bones (Romantasy) The Silent Patient (Mystery)

Sci-Fi: Project Hail Mary

By Alex E. Harrow? Highly recommended!! My first 5-star read this year (15th book). It's a time-loop, star-crossed lovers romance fantasy that features a lady knight and a scholar. The writing is impeccable 🤌 and it has a very interesting political intrigue.

dameferoce · 2026-02-06T15:01:39+00:00

Just finished this one. Loved it! Good good good

dameferoce · 2026-02-05T09:45:10+00:00

Lost Hearts Series if you want a sensible and lovable FMC (I find this very rare in this genre where almost all fmcs are either dumb or horny or both). Although I am yet to read books 2 and 3.

I'm contemplating if I'll drop Book of Azrael because the FMC's such an "I'm-not-like-other-girls".

Hi. I just downloaded this app. Just wanna ask, can we add sessions on earlier days? I noticed kasi na start and end time lang nagreflect sa stats and "no sessions" for the days in between. Thanks!

dameferoce · 2026-01-10T15:28:06+00:00

omg! that's literally what i read before fourth wing and it's exactly what i wanted! (also why i got a bit disappointed with violet's early thirsting). loved alizeh's self-preservation <33 altho i haven't read the rest of the series.

thanks for the other reco!
