to all those who have read and loved alchemised- what did YOU do to cure your hangover 😭😭😭i'm in desperate need of help.

angelinabvby ۶۟ৎ i haven't fomo read it yet but im blackmailing you kindly recommending you

Belladonna (Belladonna, #1) by Adalyn Grace


message 2: by Freefall (new)

Freefall (ia, find me on discord) so like lowkey i don't read any books in that genre but gl girl 🥹


Posipi  (comment lock) im soo sry bb but i still havent read alchemised 😭😭 go read a romance manga is all i can say, when in a slump, they give me hope.


message 4: by Abigail (new)

Abigail I heard Rose in Chains is good, but I have yet to read it !! The alchemised hangover is so real 😩


message 5: by DianaRose (new)

DianaRose lol you can listen to the audio or read the fanfic.. but a lot of people are saying Souls in Ruin is very similar! i read it and didn't think so, but it was still a great read :)


LiftsandLiterature I was looking for something similar too!
The rec I found is Blood Over Brighthaven. Haven’t read yet, but that’s what I’m gonna try. Or you could always just reread Alchemised.🤭


message 7: by Maggie ♡ (new)

Maggie ♡ I did not read Anathema but something like The Sherperd King duology or Anathema? 🫶❤️
Sorry girl I don't know a lot of good recommendations but I hope you find THE book to get out of the slump 🫶


minnie. [back!] i’ve heard rose in chains is good! anythjng dramione inspired probably, but always try some fanfics! ik they have bad rep but trust ao3 is good


message 9: by Libby (new)

Libby Girl I feel you on that 💔💔 I’m legit just rereading it, I’ll be so real 😭😭😭


message 10: by Murray (new)

Murray Wish I could help yuvi because we all want you to keep reading and finding good life there and reviewing about it. You’re a force of nature and amazing. But I’m confident your awesome friends will be able to pull you out of the depths of despair 🔆🔆🔆


Aleksandra [semi hiatus] babe just reread it in the chronological order 😭


message 12: by Mary ♥ (new)

Mary ♥ Book hangovers are the worst. 💕 Loved Alchemised too & the original fanfic.

The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy (Dearly Beloathed, #1) by Brigitte Knightley Rose in Chains (The Evermore Trilogy, #1) by Julie Soto The Auction (Rights and Wrongs, #3) by LovesBitca8


message 13: by Faerie (new)

Faerie I recommend All The Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace, it's super easy to binge. I hope the Alchemised hangover fades asap! ♡


message 14: by Mina☾ (new)

Mina☾ I haven’t read Alchemised, but I’m guessing the Shepherd King Duology gives the same vibes. Good luck bb!


Sana⁷ (Sawamura Version) I wish I could help, but Alchemised and its genre is completely not my cup of tea. Hopefully you will find something enjoyable for you, my friend!


message 16: by Ana (new)

Ana Alchemised almost sent me into the worst slump ever and for me, personally, reading novellas helped a lot. I couldn't handle reading anything longer and they were quick and engaging enough to pull me through.. Good luck, love ❤️


message 17: by ⊹ hami [s-ia] (new)

⊹ hami [s-ia] i would recommend fanfiction but that distracts me from reading actual novels

Chelsea Eternal Ruin by Tigest Girma


message 22: by Val (new)

Val Literally just ignore books and pick up manhwa or manga. the hand that once fed would be my recommendation


siera 🪷! (soobin’s!! vers.) short fanfiction and mangas + rereading some of my favs and/or finding a book that’s similar to the one i loved usually works for me (i’ve been hungover for 6 months you can see my advice is terrible.)


✮`,— maddie .ᐟ.ᐟ (busy w exams!) short short SHORTTT books!!! For me I NEEDED somthing lighthearted after reading something so dark. I dont have a specific rec buttt I hope this helps <33 also I didnt read for like a week after bc I genuinely could NOT function. I don't recommend Rose in Chains as I DNF it, but most people liked it... so maybe you might.


message 25: by Hareem (new)

Hareem Girrl in sorry havnt read the Alchemist rn BUT DW ITS ON MY TBR T-T idkk


message 26: by Chiara (new)

Chiara The hangover is so real 😂 I moved on with The Nightborn Duet by Carissa Broadbent and the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden, if you haven't read them yet, you could give them a try 🥰


message 27: by Chertzo (new)

Chertzo Ember [s: ia] The Poppy War, has almost the same emotional brutality.


message 28: by Chertzo (new)

Chertzo Ember [s: ia] But I think you should read a fun novella kinda book for palette cleansing then dive into these emotionally scarring books


message 29: by Readergirl (new)

Readergirl  Hmmm I suggest reading smth fast paced...maybe a thriller can get you out of the slump? Hope this helps xx


message 30: by sambavi (new)

sambavi Reading Manacled after would truly throw you off the deep end 😭😭
