[image] Vanilla: Maybe just keep reading to the weekends As planned I used 100% of my self restraint powers and held off on reading 週に一度クラスメイトを買う話 4 during the week. Thanks to that I have ascended to a new level of mastery over my mind and can now move small objects within 3m of myself. Anyw…

[image] Vanilla: I actually realized how much I really like the whole thing where they have perspective flip back and forth between the two main characters (or just in general). I’ve seen it happen in a couple of novels I read as well and I enjoyed it, too! It’s nice when the gaps in narrativ…

[image] WeebPotato: In one of the romance light novels I finished a while back the guy was a complete 白紙 and it was the girl who was doing the thinking :joy: . In the 継母の連れ子が元カノだった昔の恋が終わってくれない anime it’s kind of similar (not sure about the novel series it’s based on). Yeah I mean typically t…

[image] Vanilla: If not, it hasn’t been updated in a year or so If you mean 週クラ, as far as I can tell it was updated two days ago on kakuyomu

After reading too much Akagawa, I decided to try something different. [image] 首無の如き祟るもの奥多摩の山村、媛首（ひめかみ）村。淡首（あおくび）様や首無（くびなし）の化物など、古くから怪異の伝承が色濃き地である。３つに分かれた旧家、秘守（ひがみ）一族、その一守（いちがみ）家の双児の十三夜参りの日から惨劇は始まった。戦中戦後に跨る首無し殺人… It’s a murder-mystery-supernatural-horror stor…

Oh, I recently read another book from the same author, どこの家にも怖いものはいる | L32 It’s a “real” story, in the sense that the main character is the author himself (but it’s otherwise supernatural/horror). The author mentions writing a few books over the course of the event of that one, including (I think) …
