Status Updates From If Found, Return to Hell

This book is such a relatable mood so far.

Def growing on me

Trying to get into this, but the 2nd person POV is throwing me

i wouldn't call this funny but the humor is so goddamn relatable i cant help but chuckle every time

Em X. Liu I see a recurring theme here ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ

I was not expecting the second person POV so it's taking me a little to get into it.

se k.j. charles dice che un libro ha "murderbot levels of 'inexplicably comforting read despite the potentially terrifying content'" come faccio a non leggerlo?

nah this is so cute

i had no idea what i was in for and.......... it's brilliant

Truthfully was not expecting second person. But I'll take it!

Very much reads like a fanfic (2nd person narrator, swearing, humor mixed with fluff) but it makes it quite easy to digest and quick to read. Very relatable with the descriptions of how soul-consuming bureaucracy is in the workplace; you want to slam your head against the wall and say "I just work here".

Interesting but basically just a simple story! Neither overwhelming nor underwhelming instead just average which isn't bad but isn't great.

- Like writing style

OK I thought the vouched-for second person would make enduring call center scripting possible. I remain undecided. We shall let this sit for a couple hours before we make any further decisions about whether or not keep reading.

idk what i expected but this is fun

What kind of maniac writes in second person? And why is it working?

you think, dear lord when will this be over when will I be free of this hell is this job what I actually want to do no one told me what it would be like when will I get to help people like I thought I was signing up for instead of being yelled at all day is this what the rest of my life is going to look like I don't want that I don't want this I

não estava esperando um livro em segunda pessoa

How can a book about corporate magic be so boring??

Okay low key might binge the rest of this tomorrow

Okay so this book is written in 2nd POV which is an interesting choice I was not expecting!

I didn’t expect where this story ended up going, tho I suspect other readers would figure it out far earlier. It’s cute!

Wizard bureaucracy, hell bureaucracy, it’s all the same. At the end of the day, you just want to tip the stupid snake boy you like into a hug.

So true. Where's my snake boy to hug

This is truly such an endearing relationship. Who doesn't want a demon shaped boy in your house to carry all your groceries.

Not the genre I was expecting second person pov in but the author's really making it work.

Hmmm mixed feelings so far

That's the thing about having been stuck in place for so long. You stop being able to see the possibilities you can carve out for yourself.

Aw, I wished he had said goodbye to Wang Ran.
I'm definitely getting some Penric and Desdemona vibes, and I'm loving all the back and forth conversation and interaction here. :)

"Sorry, jiejie."

Oh wow, I had totally forgotten that we were dealing with 2nd person here. And even so, I made assumptions about "my" gender. Huh.

I'm being constantly distracted by the fact that a main character's name is: "Shine." Which given the Asian influence has me mentally reading it as 「死ね」。Which in Japanese means "Die." with a strong implication of "Fuck off." So mentally I'm reading:

"...cards his hands messily through [FuckOffAndDie]'s chestnut hair."

Dammit.
That aside though, the plot's in full swing and I'm having a grand time! :)
