The day Wattpad started adding ads and paid subscriptions was the beginning of the end. THAT was the original Roman Empire.

Oh, how the mighty fall.

“You hear that? It’s the sound of Wattpad…falling.”

hi! i'm sorry for the dumb question but i wanted to finally start reading manga in japanese (i already have a little list of titles beginner-friendly) buuuut i'm not sure where i actually find it ;; sorry again for the stupid question

Not a dumb question at all! There are a bunch of places to get manga, the most accessible probably being (unfortunately) amazon.jp. You need to have a Japanese address to buy things regardless of where it's being shipped to (or not, in the case of ebooks), but I believe just any address will do. You can also sometimes buy manga directly on the publisher's sites. Cmoa is another good place to check, and they also will often have entire volumes of manga available to read on their site for free (just look for the 無料 section). Bilingualmanga might also be of interest. It's free (and therefore sometimes gets taken down), but is exactly what it sounds like. Their selection isn't huge, but what they do have, they have in both English and Japanese.

If you want to buy physical volumes, CDJapan is my go-to. I'm in the USA, but I'm pretty sure they ship to most parts of the world. Kinokuniya is also a good place to buy manga from, especially if you're lucky enough to have a physical store near you. My main issue with them is that I think they're overpriced, though. Another thing that depends on luck, if you have any Book Off stores near you, go check them out! It's secondhand, so finding what you're looking for is definitely luck based, but I think it's a good experience to browse Japanese language books and manga regardless.

If you're having trouble finding something in particular, or want some... slightly less legal sources, feel free to contact me off anon!

Did my brain decide that it only wanted to read a 1000+ page classic novel despite not being able to concentrate on anything longer than a short story for the last two months?

Absolutely!

And worse, I had to buy the behemoth because of course my brain couldn't pick one of the large classics from my gigantic TBR collection. Nope, special order only for my delightful self!

The life a chaotic bookworm my dears!

Why are all the copies of the Divine Comedy reserved in the library? Not that I need one, it's just really odd? Have I missed something?

I've been reading Howard Pyle’s “classic” children’s version of the Robin Hood story, published in 1883, and if I had a nickel for every time he uses the word "stout", I would have $12.35, because he has used it 247 times in this 207 page ebook, including this shining example:

Learn another adjective, Howard. I am begging you.

Write your books so I can wish you a bigolas dickolas!

You can wish me a bigolas dickolas any time at all, friend. But this actually gives me a good opening to reveal that, while attempting to write a short story to take a breather between my giant megaton WIPs, W H O O P S

I Accidentally Wrote a Novella Again

The above ^^^ is me creeping up on the climax of the story, so it may be another handful of pages before the first draft is done-done, but. Yeah. I cannot be trusted to engage in brevity 🤡

But this little*** guy-in-progress seems like an okay stab to take at self-publishing, maybe, so go ahead and Bigolas the Dickolas to sprinkle some preliminary good author luck on it
