Incredibly busy week, though I did reread a cnovel by accident. I thought I haven't read it but I have. I don't know if I finished it though so I've been skimming in hopes of finding an unfamiliar place in the text. It's 美貌国师在线救世 (Pretty State Preceptor Saves the Planet).

In other news, my friend has found me a novel that mashes together space pirates with military, Omegaverse, and entertainment industry. I'll see how motivated I am to struggle through it (maybe throw it on a text to voice thing ahaha)

I don't have a lot of brain cells lately, so I'm rereading Devil Venerable. I wish I trusted Hai Tang to do a good job with it.

I'm on chapter 23 of 重生之豁然 (Epiphanies of Rebirth) and I've been really enjoying it, the two male leads just met and it went so wrong in a spectacular way. 😂

I knooow, Devil Venerable so deserves a good published edition and I do not think it will get it. I'm already disappointed with the design stuff they've released so far, the cover illustration is nice but not really representative of what the series is about and some of the typography was really ... okay ...

Currently reading the first volume of Peerless, and I'm having a lot of fun. No deep thoughts yet, but I do always seem to like Meng Xi Shi's work

I just started "Record of the Missing Sect Master" and it's fun so far. MC has amnesia but it has not stopped him from being a troll. One interesting thing: MC doesn't remember his name, but the narration still uses it! Which of course gives the reader a ton more information than the character has. Idk, I feel like it's one of those things that might not fly in western tradpub novels, but it's working here so far.

Also, I somehow thought this was going to be xianxia (don't know why). It's not, it's wuxia.

I've been rereading The Langya List and crying awfully over it 😆 Canon review for the annual fandom exchange (mini version this time). The holidays have been great... except for the work I should have been doing haunting me as I edit my gift xD

Not much time for reading other things. But I hope there will be some time after Saturday!
