Annnd then I decide well, I just want to read one more chapter of Tower of God after already reading a few a couple of days ago and thinking “meh”. Well, it was a bad decision. I couldn’t stop reading.
One would think with the anime airing now, I’d be more reasonable and watch the anime instead. Well, I just finished watching two episodes... after reading 3 volumes of the manga... crazy, right?
I noticed however that they aren’t exactly the same. Lathel is called “Rachel”, I have no idea why. Is it a translation mistake? But why would a world full of strange names have a familiar one? Anywho, I’m probably being too skeptical because I watched animated episodes of volumes I just read and of course, I would notice the difference whereas if I watched the anime after a while I wouldn’t have had.
I can understand why it became so popular and I believe it deserves the hype!...more

I didn't connect to the characters and the story overall isn't bad but the execution didn't work for me. I listened to the audiobook and I found myself often distracted when the audio was on. It's not the narrator's fault but rather the way the story was told didn't help me connect to the story....more

I’m not suI enjoyed this book but it tackled some serious topics woven in a thriller plot. It features almost every trigger warning you can think of. I’m not sure if I’ll be reviewing this one but for the time being, I’ll just say that it was a bit long (the audio was 19 hours but at least well narrated). The ending wasn’t surprising but I didn’t mind that. Also, I have distanced myself enough from covid days that now I don’t mind having covid infiltrating my novels but it was overdone here....more

It was fun to read, but it’s one of those thrillers that doesn’t leave a lasting impact, which was fine by me since I was just looking for a quick, page-turning read.
I listened to the audiobook, and while the narration was generally good, I couldn’t stand Avery’s perspective; the narrator’s voice change made me dislike her even more. One thing I didn’t appreciate was the multiple perspectives—it sometimes got confusing to keep track of who was narrating. It wasn’t hard to figure out, but it was a bit distracting, especially early on when I assumed the rotating perspectives would stop (spoiler: they didn’t)....more

I couldn’t stop listening to the audiobook and then I switched to the ebook to read faster since I had to know. So while I enjoyed the suspense, there are several aspects I didn’t appreciate: - it’s been a while since I came across such a stupid MC, and the narration of the voice actress made her worse. - while I guessed part of the twist, I just didn’t like it. It felt kinda flimsy especially since the motives didn’t convince me.
So while I was enjoying the book at first, I wasn’t impressed with the last part. ...more
