I don't like the instalust but I am loving the Cinderella retelling.

due to translation problems, some of the statements are hard to read, but i am loving the footnotes at the bottom, for they somehow simplifies things i couldn't understand.

had to stop reading fiction and focus on reading about ethics because the main theme of the novel i wanna write evolves around 'what constitute as a good deed?'

can someone recommend me more books about ethics? thank you :)

Gurl, this Scrivener tutorials for writing novels are too overwhelming—too many features to use—but I'll get by.

After loving Anthony's story, I am excited for Benedict's story! Plus, it's a Cinderella re-telling, so it's a plus for me.

I am loving the dynamics of their relationship. From enemies who hated each other's guts to being friends because of this one scene where they are forced to be closer together... alone!

*swoons*

this is the type of enemies to lovers that i vibe with! angst, banter, and most of all, no excessive SEXUALIZATION of each other. this is it folks, they are supposed to hate each other at this stage so keep it that way. hate each other for now.

oh my gosh! i am loving this so far!!!!

so who's binge-reading now? hahaha

Anthony kinda got in my nerves during the first book, but I must admit that he's quite an intriguing character.

oh boy here we go. here's the controversial scene!!!!

This year, I promise myself to start writing my romance novel but as I revisit my Google Drive, I happen to open my unpublished M-M romance novel (which by the way has 24k words), and boy do I cringe! I wrote that in May 2020, before my immersive reading journey began, and now that I've read a lot of books, looking through that unfinished draft is like spraying jalapeño powder in my eyes. I am sad huhu.

The meet cute was indeed cute, and then there's desire already hahaha. This is fun. I love Julia Quinn's writing style.

"He'd never dallied with an innocent before, but all the world had already painted him a rake. What could be the harm? It wasn't as if he were going to ravish her. Just a kiss. Just one little kiss. It was tempting, so deliciously, maddeningly tempting."

okay, sir. calm down :D

I'm a little scared to read this because I've been spoiled sooooo many times about that dubious consent scene near the end. Now I worry I might not like this, but I also want to finish the entire series before watching the Netflix show.

Well, let's just see.

1st book in 2021 coz your boi wants to start writing his own romance novel.

OMG, I READ 31 BOOKS IN 31 DAYS! I'm so happy for myself, considering how short my attention span is. For 2021, I wish to read more books outside my usual genre (e.g. epic fantasies, memoirs, YA fantasy, sci-fi), and I really hope I'd discover a lot of gems in these genres.

That's all.

Happy New Year! Bless us all, and keep safe. <3 <3

self-pleasure on a different level hahaha WTF!!!!

it really has Call Me By Your Name feels.

hahahaha WTF!!!!

"oopsie, i made a universe."

then the illustration. WTF hahaha

what a weird-ass orgy lol

another kid was on FIRE!!!

"I started to care less about the future. I cared more about making the present tolerable. And time passed. And that was my life."

Sir Kevin Wilson, we need to talk. I shall sue you for this verbal assault.

okay. so there's a sex scene—after that, i completely lost it. i mean, i lost sympathy with Griffin already. Bitch, you broke up with him, remember? It was also very obvious that you're flirting with Jackson from the get go! Arghhhh flirts!

I don't know about you but, bitch, how can you be still close with your ex-boyfriend even though you were best friends before???

Can you, guys, do that???

"Maybe because seven is a kick-ass number."

YES, BITCH!!!!

these characters are just the same as those from More Happy Than Not. What's with this teenage boys obsessed with comic books and fantasy novels (Harry Potter—sighs) just to be relatable? Ughh the excessive pop culture references is taking me out of the story.

"Yes Daddy. Yes."

OMG. I was like, "No Bitch. No!"
