That sounds very much like a TL or 女性 story (especially the part about the main character being a “デブ”; you need the readership to be able to self-insert
)
Fun fact: TL and BL is not considered “adult” content by Booklive for the most part. I really need to scroll hard in those categories to find some stuff hidden under a , despite very explicit scenes in the stuff I have read from those categories. I think the content needs to go really above and beyond (like, full zoom on the genitals or something?) to be considered “adult”. Considering that Bookwalker is a sister company of Booklive, I assume they have the same rules?
Does anyone mark books as read in Bookmeter when only listening to the audiobook version?
I do, but I track my pages read in a spreadsheet so for me Bookmeter is just a social thing where I can share what books I’ve consumed (in any format).
Oh, yeah I don’t care about pages read anyway. So I’m not worried about my page stats being messed up or anything like that.
I think I will track my reading on Natively. Just registered and like the interface and the cross-references to WaniKani.
Just a quick heads up that the Intermediate Book Club has started voting on their next pick:
…
…
…
Make that 28 volumes.
I’m pretty sure the audiobooks are also on bookmeter. Not sure if you care about that tho
Ah, I didn’t really think about that. I always register the print version, even when reading an ebook though. So I guess I’d do the same here if I decide to add it.
Also, page number is kinda arbitrary. It will vary between editions of a given book (i.e. 単行本 vs 文庫本) but the actual content is the same.
It’s just fun to see the numbers go up.
I didn’t enjoy 吸血鬼のお年ごろ. Vampires + mystery has the potential to be fun but this particular vampire family was not to my taste. The fearsome vampire lord turns out to be just a jolly papa, and then he starts dating his college-aged daughter’s classmate and they live their retro sitcom life. I guess it’s a little like the Addams Family, but not as stylish.
Yeah, I can definitely see that some people would bounce off it. Personally I kinda like the goofy humour bits.
The table has been reset, you (and everyone else) can add yourself now
Hyped to join! Thank you
Added myself and did some alphabetical rearranging, hopefully I didn’t mess anything up.
On top of the 10 books and 24 manga I also added as goals 4 games in Japanese… I might be setting myself up for failure already but where’s the fun in playing it safe anyway?
Hopefully I can get more/ some reading done this year
2023 will be a busy reading year if the start is anything to go by.
My goals are:
2 books
16 manga
2 VN
I’m currently a little behind on one VN club and will be behind on a second one tomorrow. xD And I expect the VN clubs to account for a lot of my reading these first few months.
First time joining, and I am pretty excited to do some serious reading this year! :3
I’ve set my goal at 10 books because I am trying to be more ambitious in 2023. Should be doable? Though I feel that the real challenge will be for me to stay consitent and keep reading once my start-of-the-year enthusiasm fizzles out.
Book clubs might help with that. Peer pressure and all
I was thinking more camaraderie and sharing the story with other people, but then peer pressure have never worked to get me to do a thing, only to do the opposite. xD
