🧟 Monster Manga 8/15
The Good The emotional stakes were definitely there and I found Hyakuya's (the protagonist's) backstory touching. His personality and motivations were consistent and I liked the message of not letting trauma prevent you from opening up to joy and connection forever
The bad The world building was easy enough to follow but it was also a bit too messy for my taste. It tried to jumble together too many different elements too quickly
The "you're still a virgin" jokes were annoying and so was Hyakuya's rash and reckless attitude at times
Will I continue the series? Maybe! Volume 1 ended in a cliffhanger and I'm mildly intrigued to see where the story will go next. I think I will move on to the next series in the quest and see if I still feel like continuing this one after that

What counts as second-screening: Having a video or a movie in the background as you read; reading something else on a different screen as you read (including spoiling what you're reading by looking something up about the plot); looking away from what you're reading periodically to scroll on social media, including PB; playing a game while reading.
I feel like this question is a little unfair for audiobook readers because you guys intentionally do all this stuff while listening to the audiobook... But if you are dividing your attention to the point where you have to rewind I think you're second-screening.
So have you been dividing your attention?
No judgment by the way. I'm literally doing it right now. I caught myself putting on some YT videos while getting through the story I'm reading. I'm still taking it in, I'm just kind of like... not immersed.
I just see people with high numbers and I wonder if you're reading all day while doing other stuff. Is that the secret?

Well i just screamed (loudly) because a centipede was hiding in my BEDROOM curtains and now he is loose somewhere in the house. I don't mind spiders so much but really... do you need that many legs? (I love having a cat who prefers to stare, rather than take action. Smh. Freeloader)
Now i'm scared about bugs in my apartment, leading me to ask this book related question... has anyone ever actually had/seen bookworms? Like the actual bugs (bugs?) that chew through books? I get a lot of vintage/antique/secondhand books, and the thought has crossed my mind but I don't actively check them for bugs. THANKFULLY i have never had an encounter, because i truly think i would screech and throw a precious book across the room
