i’m trying to get more in to the anime community

Other than weekly discussion, and episode releases there are couple type of post that you could make.

  1. Looking for recommendations - self explanatory. You provide what genre of a show you are looking for and people will recommend the best ones. (More abstract and crazy requirements it's more fun to interact with)
  2. Reviews - If you watched the show and you have opinions you could share them as a post
  3. Hosting/participate in a rewatch - If you want to (re)watch a show that isn't airing currently you could make a chain of posts for each episode, and invite people to watch with you. Usually host prepares some deeper episode analysis but that's not required.

I'm writing a LN!

I have read all 64 pages, and actually laughed out loud. After the first page that's quite an achievement.

For anyone coming after me: just read the last chapter. It's actually decent.

This "novel" is excellent exihibit of how humans can improve in their skill. From worst writing I have ever read to better than some published novels I had unpleastness of reading. Keep going as you will go places. Your skill has improved so much that it actually is a shame how bad the chapter 0 is.

In your place I would probably start over, and take a look how to structure a plot with twists and turns. Come up with a hook and first sentence of a book. As they say, that is most important sentence.

I love how sassy the catgirl is.

What light novel(s) have you read last week, and what do you think about it? [August 04 - August 10]

The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch 1 - 224ch another WN. Due to a bad decision months ago I am binge reading this week. The MC gets a stopwatch and system that let's her travel through time. Neat worldbuilding, decent plot with multiple organizations that fight with each other, and MC gets thrown in the middle of their fight. Lots of action, blood, cults, horrors beyond comprehension and Yuri fanservice (I wouldn't call it a romance)
I enjoyed that read.

Midweek discussions (Unofficial) - How do you pronounce it?

I am a bit dislexic about the names. I usually read the first letter, guess the rest and be surprised later that the name is totally different than I have read for the whole book/series.

I think I only remember that I used to spell Hirschur from bookworm totally different than it's spelled but it was couple of years ago. I am reading it like this /xirʃt͡ʂur/, almost like "szczur" in polish

Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 29]

Just finished 'Navigatoria' and it was so good throughout first 80% but climax ruined everything. The manga had some touching moments and some explorations of hard topics like nationalism, authoritarianism and rasism , but sadly they ware quite shallowly handled.

I think this was first time I read a climax that bad in my life. MC makes most out-of-character decision imaginable and next 2 events happen just to fix the plot and make happy ending possible.
