haha, don't be :D I'm happy that I met this world. It's just not that good.
I don't have a favorite book. I'm very new to reading books. 21st century childhood got to me as well. But I'm enjoying it so far. Might even me a better form of media than series. While I'm also not native, and for whatever reason I don't read in my mother tongue, but english. For that reason I struggle with vocabulary. One good thing I can definitely say about Mortal Engines is that the language is simple, I barely had to look stuff up.
I can tell you manga or smth tho.
Well, I'd give a 99% that you're going to find it cringe, but I made this post about The Skeleton Soldier Failed to Defend the Dungeon. It had that absolutely amazing character 180° plot twist, and even if everything else is very poorly written, that singular character is awesome.
The way I actually got into reading is a bit embarassing, only two of my friends know of it. But the watered down version is that after years of everyone around me watching anime I also caved in, tried it, and I very much enjoyed one. Because it was (and still is) unfinished I decided to read the light novels about it and realised how awesome reading is. My familiy nagged me about reading, and I did some back in the day, can't even remember how old I was (single digit for sure), however school started and I was forced to read some of the worst pieces of word combinations that ever hit my ear, long and boring too. I'm not kidding when I say one of these mandatory reads made me hate women for a while. Thankfully I forgot all of it, like a trauma, all I remember is that it was hell reading that (actually couldn't even read it, I listened to it.) Anyways, even if it's cringy and a bit wierd, I'm still happy about it. I get to enjoy this hidden gem of media, and I'm loving it. So I'm searching for new experiences. This post backlogged me for a year at least.
I'm writing this omw home on a bus, if there are typos; sry :p
You can color me surprised. I'm not really into this sort of progression because it's almost always lazy. But I feel like Skeleton Solder did an above average job. But I do have to admit, that most of the mangas that I like are like this. I have no idea why, I refuse to believe a leveling system is good writing.
I love you're comparison to fast food! Fits so well. As I said, for me reading a "normal" book takes energy and effort, I need to learn new words to even understand the scenery. Don't get me wrong, I do want to extend my vocabulary and I also enjoy it. But it is nice to immerse myself into something for hours easily, and for that I do need myself some fast food from time-to-time. Anyways I just said (in 3 lines) that don't feel bad for recommending (I enjoyed Mortal Engines as well, but not enough to finish it, and the characters actively annoyed me), I'll probably want to search for these sooner or later and now I don't need to find a site.
Reading your other comment: Oh I feel bad for you already. If Christina's fall got you idk how you'll l handle S3's ending. But I won't say a word more. Please update me on how heartbroken you are.. O-or because you knew what was going to happen because almost all of these stories are the same, and you said you've read them a bunch.
Other thing that interests me is, and I know this might be reaching, it's okay if you wouldn't want to answer, is how old are you? You said "used to be" does that mean I've struck some nostalgia in you?
Is there space for one more paragraph? Do you use ebook readers? I mean like a device with an eink screen. I'd like to buy one soon but I have no idea what to look for in them.
