Weekly Update (18/8/2024)

Hello hello, everyone! I was supposed to have published this a few hours ago as it's Monday here already, but alas! This will be a shorter post, just updating what I've been up to this past week :)

Surprisingly, I haven't touched a book besides finishing The Unwomanly Face of War. It was such an impactful book, and I think it mentally prepared me to finally watch Come and See which has been on my movie bucket list for years now. The things told there are brutal and will make you cry for these women who gave so much for their motherland only to be ignored after the war is over. Definitely a new favorite, 4 stars.

Speaking of reading! I finished 2 more Visual Novels, and dropped another. The DNF goes to The Fruit of Grisaia—it had everything to be good and keep me hooked, but the reliance in anime archetypes had me bored out of my mind. So sorry to all the Grisaia fans! Anyway, during the first days I also finished Sexcalibur: Knights of the Pound Table, which was another dumb smut, and one I deeply hated having to read. It was so lazy and in my humble opinion, not sexy at all. Would have DNFed it but I did end up skipping a lot of H-Scenes by the end of the game. 2 stars.

The other 2 VNs were Queen of Moths and un/FRAGMENT. Two very short reads, perfect for a weekend session! Queen of Moths is more of a Pixel Art Horror game. It plays a lot like those older point and click games but, as short as it was, it still makes you tense and ready for a scare. I enjoyed it! 3 stars. un/FRAGMENT. is another short game, more of a linear story this time. It was made for Nanoreno, so the dev only had 5 days to make everything. It was only 10-minute long and had the dev more time to develop the story more, I think it would have been a pretty decent work. The art is pretty nice, and the reveal was not all that bad, although my emotional connection to the character's feelings suffered from my short exposure to the story.

I also started Needy Streamer Overload and it's been so fun! It's definitely keeping me past my screen time limit but it's been a while since I've been this addicted to a game. It's somewhat dark and if you're not in a good space mentally, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm almost done with all the 22 endings! I can't wait for another game from the same devs called Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis to release. I'm SO excited for that one specifically, since I can properly relate to the protagonist's struggles more (though that's not a good thing, necessarily LOL)

As commissioned by @diowatcher, I've been watching Serial Experiments Lain and I'm currently on episode 6. It's getting extra trippy right now, and I'm enjoying it a lot! The opening is so gooooood, I can't believe I had never heard it before. I've also been listening to the opening to Revolutionary Girl Utena and aagh it's so good! I'm adding it to my anime list.

And finally, I watched the 2020's The Boys in the Band yesterday. It was SO GOOD!! I had no idea this was a cinema adaptation of the Broadway revival, but it makes so much sense; it reminds me of the Falsettos stage revival, though that one doesn't have a movie adaptation, as far as I'm aware.

Anyway, it was truly a queer movie—as depressing as ever. It was an open ending too, ugh! I have a love/hate with queer works, as they have only started to become a bit more lighthearted these past years. I love these darker stories, but they also leave me bleeding (figuratively.) This is going to my favorites!

And that is all for last week! Let's see what this one brings us~

Soon after I started using Koikatsu, I found a viking hat and of course I had to put it on Rin.

And of course, dress her up as Sailor Moon.

But if you don't know me I bet what you wouldn't expect is for me to dress her up in a Mihama Gakuen uniform from Grisaia.

re: Yuuji and Kazuki--it's been a long time since I encountered The Fruit of Grisaia, but due to his age, it's pretty dubcon, even if her intentions toward him are loving. And also, while stuff did happen between them, she isn't a romance option

Thanks for the info, Anon.

Going through changes

Hello everybody, welcome back! I haven't been active these past few weeks and I apologize. When I started this blog, I wanted to be super productive and do a full review for each single book, but I'm slowly starting to realize that maybe that isn't working.

While the ones I did write were good and I enjoyed writing them, I'm thinking of trying something simpler and more practical for me. Instead of big tasks like full reviews, I will merely have a "reads of the week/month" and a shorter commentary on each title.

I am not sure how to do this yet: on one hand, I would love to do a weekly post updating my readings; on the other hand, I don't want to pressure myself again like I'm used to do. I want reading to flow naturally, and right now, that is working, even if I'm not making an over-the-top progress.

I will try to update the blog every week, but if I can't, I can't. Instead, I will only promise to write the monthly post, so you can see the weekly updates as "bonus content" :p

So, since today is Sunday, let's have a Weekly Update!

I was meaning to review some past reads but at this point, I don't think my memory will make them justice, so I'll include them here.
