My Recommendations

(Updated: A long time ago)

Needs to be a more blog-like blog. Quick list of stuff I have read/watched that are mostly recommendations that I want to share. Will add more when I remember stuff randomly. I can read/watch anything but I rarely watch sob stories and excessive gore. Weird thing is that I can read them perfectly fine. English novels that have overall series ratings mean that I read them a long long time ago or I don’t remember how good each individual book was. I have only started reading fan translations of web/light novels. I mainly read fantastique literature. I am pretty generous in giving stars.

If anyone was curious about how I feel about my translations:
– ATG (4.5)
– SKLD (3.5)
By the way, I am rating the above as of 04/20/2015 in their RAW form..

When I give stars
– I think about how they are compared to others of its genre/type
– average type of book belonging to it’s genre would be a 3 (duh)
– then I add/take away stars based on my opinion

Legend:
1 ~ 5 – stars
J – juvenile, for kids and up
YA – young adult, hard to find one without a bit of teen angst, sniff
M – mature adult
PTR/PTW – plan to read/watch
? – don’t plan on reading/watching anytime soon
d – dropped
