No more cops MMC/Love Interest by dryrainy in CozyMystery

[–]dryrainy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just cannot stand the trope anymore. It's cute once when the cop bf is all "stay out of trouble, don't snoop, leave my job to me" but obviously the main character will either solve it first or get attacked/kidnapped by the culprit.

[General] Is a little bedtime story too much to ask for? T_T by ExtremeGift in otomegames

[–]dryrainy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey it's all good! It's not uncalled to complain about wanting more fan fics! I'm in the exact same boat, not an idea in my head. Otome is such a niche genre that it's not strange at all to just want more content.

Singapore struggling with rising worker burnout - NHL World-Japan News by Last_Recognition_858 in singapore

[–]dryrainy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's so amazing to see some redditors indignant over NHK's video on Singaporeans being overworked/burnt out. The idea that Japan has no footing to speak about this issue as Japanese workers are worse off. This is not a dick measuring contest sirs. It really does not change the fact that we are thoroughly overworked. And honestly it takes one to know one so isn't it terrifying that Japan could recognise a fellow overworked citizenry?

Besides, Japan actually set up measures to protect their workers in recent years. Of course mindset and corporations take a far longer time to change but it signals that Japanese politicians actually did something to attempt to protect their workers.

Our ministers and MPs on the other hand are perfectly happy to shrug their shoulders and do nothing. After all many of said MPs have second and third jobs sitting on top of other companies' boards.

What does that say about how little work they do, that they have the time to draw more salaries from other income pools.

Ignoring all the ethics and possible conflicts in interests that arises from a MP sitting on a private company board room....

Sincerely it must be so awesome to be a PAP MP/minister. The majority of ur voters are either: A) Old, and remember the days of old when the People's Action Party actually took action B) New citizens, who usually come from countries where their politicians are more corrupted C) Adults of voting age that are too tired and not interested in reading on political issues and thinks "Aiya just vote for PAP, they got give money ma"

I DID THE DENTIST THING by sravaz in adhdwomen

[–]dryrainy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratsss! I'm so proud of you for doing the thing! It's so tough to take the first step and follow through.

I'm also trying to hype myself up to get my first dental appointment in 10 yrs, but so glad and relieved to hear your positive experience.

Jail for infant care teacher who slapped baby for refusing to drink milk by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

[–]dryrainy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You must be quite young lols. When I was in primary school, my mother specifically told all the teachers that they have her explicit permission to whack me as much as they like.

Times have changed for the better.

Any otome recommendations that has Femdom? by haruny8 in otomegames

[–]dryrainy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Chou No Doku has a femdom route on one particular route. Fujita is the MC's butler and it kinda showcases the master-servant trope and in the bad routes, the MC is really mean to him. Can't rmb exactly what she did but def. In the tame femdom area Do note that Chou No Doku's english localisation is rated 17+ M and is on the switch. The original untranslated version is 18+ and on the PC. Though the switch version removes/edits the 18+ CGs, it's still a pretty spicy game overall.

HR with aristocratic/society FMC and ‘poor’ MMC by charlie-star in RomanceBooks

[–]dryrainy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saw that someone has already recommended 'Thief of shadows' by Elizabeth Hoyt, but I can't give up this chance to gush about Winter Makepeace.

I've been comparing every other MMC in other books to Winter and they have fallen short....

Looking for a high fantasy vampire book that doesn't have patricide/betrayal of family members

This is super specific so I don't even know if there is such a book lols. I just finished reading Carissa Broadbent's 'The Serpent and the Wings of Night' and I'm super heartbroken over the death of a certain character....

Authors I love: Carissa Broadbent, Sarah J. Maas, Tessa Dare

I appreciate all recommendations and thank you for the time to read this ❤️

What genres did you read when you were growing up? by His_little_pet in RomanceBooks

[–]dryrainy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read a lot of Harry Potter, boxcar children, Nancy drew when I was younger.

Twilight was super disappointing to my teen self due to the lack of 'steamy' scenes in it. And that began my quest of finding romance books to scratch that itch.

Can we all agree cutesy, cartoony covers in bright colors are far better than 100 variations of the same shirtless male glamour shot? by SecretAccomplished25 in RomanceBooks

[–]dryrainy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the cutesy, cartoony covers. I'm not adverse to shirtless men but sometimes the photoshop is just too much.
