That was weird but cool. Very weird to be thrown in the deep end of a fantasy world like that but I haven't read much high fantasy. Maybe that's normal. I wanna read the rest.

this is my fourth or fifth book by a japanese author and sex and romance are all written the same way, so now i have to read more books bc im starting to think either 1.) they all see sex and romance very differently from americans and or the western world 2.) the books that get translated are just the ones that have an alienated relationship to romance and sex or 3.) some other third thing, including i cant base my perspective on an amount of books i can count on one hand.

i do love this perspective tho i know what it feels like to feel alien from society. but when many individuals in the society feel the same its like oh maybe the society is the issue? theyre all thinking "other people wouldnt think that, other people wouldnt say that, so i'll be silent and not say how im feeling." i dont think thats universal here. common but not universal. the consequence is everyones suffering and wont tell the people closest to them. :(

No real heavy hitters (except Zoboi) but I had fun.

DID NOT FINISH: 26%

The book is good but I'm too brainrotted. I need the audiobook!

Title is perfect. "Relatable" is very accurate, but also tells you what to expect. Almost none of them wowed me, but they were all nice. Poems are just okay enough. Pleasant.

It was cute I guess. I hate the formatting because it's not poetry. If it was I might've liked it a little more, but whenever I see books written like this I think wow a bunch of trees died for nothing.

In probably all my reviews for this series I've expressed how repetitive it is. Feels like nothing's happening story wise. And I’d be willing to ignore it all and give this book the same rating I gave the others EXCEPT for ONE thing that boiled over my tea kettle (idk what phrase I'm thinking of). Why did the Jewish German kid know English?

Audio review:
i kept hearing clicking for some reason? and unrelated its not completely the guy's fault but he would forget what voice he was using for what character and if i hadn't been reading along if i was just listening it would've been confusing to keep up with

the grandfather of sassy men. what a messy book. love it. didn’t love a lot of elements. justice for ali! the sheer amount of adult minor relationships were disgusting, book could've been much much much shorter but it also wasnt intended to be read in 8 days. but i do love seeing the origins of infamous tropes. that was cool.

The Old Man and The Sea (in the sense that it was boring (but not as boring as that book) and talked about nature) meets The Parent Trap (except they're not plotting to get the parents together) meets The Lord of the Flies (i’ve never read it but I know it's at least about boys stranded in the wilderness). At first I thought the kid died in the swamp and was hallucinating since the first half of the book talked so much about nature. I thought it was just a book about teaching nature to kids. Then half way through the book a plot happens? Okay. Weird but alright let’s go. I laughed 4 times but it was all in the last 40% of the book so I don't count it as funny. At least I wasn't annoyed?
