It really feels like watching the episodes. each adventures is writeen authentically to the characters that I can hear it in their voices. also the variety in art style is refreshing. you just need to have watched the show before because it assumes you know some things, like the traits and inside jokes about the family and some characters....more

* short stories and articles: *+#1- The Best ot Twines, the Worst of Rhymes: A tale of Two C++ies (or why Game Writing is Bad and Great) by Seth Dickinson: a very meta story with humor i like. the passion of a game writing and working woth video games and the warnings felt all real like i was reading an essay not a short story, but i felt him when he said that game writers will make you feel, because it resonated with a video game i'm playing currently called "lost in random", and it really made me apperciate game writing more.
*2- Queering Chaos by Foz Meadows: an article (?) about Good Omens show, especially the relationship between Crowley and Aziraphale.
3- Lois McMaster Bujold and Being a Grand Master by Lashawn Wanak: a love letter lo Bujold, and it has me intrigues to read her.
4- Give the Family my Love by A. T. Greenblatt: an astronaut travelling to a library on a distant planet in hopes of finding something to save the earth, told through voice notes to a loved one. reminded me a lot of "to be taught, if fortunate".
*5- The Dead in their uncontrollable power by Karen Osborne: I liked this twist on the sin eaters, and the maddness of not eating the sins in a symbloic way, the mc literally eats those sins as they eat at her.
*+#6- And Now His Lordship is Laughing by Shiv Ramdas: this was horrifying and captivating. about colonialism in india. I haven't read a fantasy story set in india in some time, and this one was amazing.
*7- Ten Excerpts from an Annotated Bibliography on the Cannibal Women of Ratnabar Island by Nibedita Sen: I'm always intrigued by stories that play with their form, and this story takes the form of exceprts from different books about cannibal women. it paints an amazing and horrifying portrait that makes me wish for an actual full-length novel about them
*+#8- A Catalog of Storms by Fran Wilde: a heartbreaking story about loss. in a world where weather is having a war with humans, some humans turn into the elemnts of weather to stand up to the storms and winds that threaten their loved ones. a very interesting world-building
*+#9- How the Trick is Done by A. C. Wise: a magician's trick goes wrong, and we see all the people entangled in his life. i loved all the drama.
*10- A Strange Uncertain Light by G. V. Anderson: loved loved it. alternate timelines, both set in the same place and a lot of ghosts. alternating between two women trying to find their courage
*11- For He Can Creep by Siobhan Carroll: what's not to love in this story? we have cats fighting the devil and saving the world from demons. loved it!
*12- His Footsteps through Darkness and Light by Mimi Mondal: an indian retelling of Alladin and his genie. loved the writings and the vibes
*+#13- The Blur in the Corner of your Eye by Sarah Pinsker: I loved the twists and turns. I'm a sucker for a story about a writer isolating themselves in someplace remote to write a novel. it never ends well, but this had a twist i did NOT see coming!
*+#15- The Archonology of Love by Caroline M. Yoachim: a love story, an alien plague story, a sci-fi mystery story. the writing is gorgeous and i felt the heartbreak and grief and the setting was very interesting to travel in time
* excerpts from novellas and novels 14- Carpe Glitter by Cat Rambo: I'm always fascinaed by stories about hoarders and this excerpt was very promising.
16- A Song for a New Day by Sarah Pinsker: i love the nostalgic sad writing but it didn't grip me enough to be invested in the story
*+#17- Riverland by Fran Wilde: I was son invested in this tale, as it's told by a younger protagonist, so I don't know if this "house magic" just a code word from her mom or if there's real magic involved and it got me so tense. I loved it!
*+#18- Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom by Ted Chiang: alternate timelines and parallel lives mixed in with some Matrix. very interesting and I'm intrigued to read the rest of it.
19- The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djeli Clarke: won't be reveiwing this one since i already have it in my physical tbr and intend to read it anyway

No. 6 is really a story about native people who got their home taken from them by occupiers and were led to extinction. about a false utopia, hypnotizing people into believing that the government is working for their sake and that their walled city is safe and that the outside world is dangerous. about human greed and its repeating nature, that even when the whole world crumbles, the remaining humans would still repeat their doomed cycle all over again. about ambitions and lost innocense.
it reads like a redemption request for humans, as long as they embrace peace and stop acts of war....more

We follow Sylvia, who discovers she's a clone and that she's connected to all of her other clones via dreams, and each one of them has some kind of a superpower. it's all good, but we never get any answers to who these clones are? who made them and for what purpose (we get half answers to these questions, but still)? also, what's the deal with the x-men agents following them? what was the purpose of those?...more

It's set on Mars populated by humans, and we follow a military team trying to protect the interests of humans corporations against martian natives (think of Arrakis in Dune and the Fremen). but this military team starts digging more things that they're not supposed to know and it ends horribly.
It seems like it assumes a lot of thereader, like it assumes the reader is already familiar with these characters, but I admit that the ending surprised me....more

Shion is still grappling with everything and I feel that he puts too much pressure on Nezumi even after saying that he can handle everything. I didn't understand Safu, but one thing is clear, she loved Shion. Nezumi is still note sure of what he's feeling, so he contradicts himself every step along the way. Inukashi is afraid to say out lou what he feels deep in his heart, also the same goes for Rikiga. Karan is really a rock for everyone around her, and shee seems so different from the mother we saw in the first volume. Yoming is broken and while his goal is understandable, his methods aren't justified.
A lot of character development, and at this point I don't know if we're going to lose one of the main characters. also the repetitive writing style got on my nerve sometimes, but that has become the norm with this series...more

The violence, the loss of innocence, the realizations, and the development of Nezumi and Shion's relationship, and also the bond between Inukashi and the baby.

It started with a sarcastic tone, but it quickly followed in the tragic steps of the original epic.
We follow Earth in the far future, where Gilgamesh and Enkidu are the last of an alien race sent to earth, and if you've read the original epic, you'll be able to clearly see all the parallels. I enjoyed the setting....more

We follow Garson, who in the first chapter, realizes that he's not a human but an Electric Ant, or just simply a robot. The events that follow are him not being satisfied with explanations given to his existence, and trying to maniuplate his programming to figure out his real purpose.
It discusses AI and humans, what makes us real, alternative realities, the idea of reincarnation, and life's purpose. I didn't like the art style, and some of the jargon flew over my head, but it was interesting....more

It's a post-apocalyptic story, after humans spread a virus that kills anyone over the age of 21, we follow a world that regressed greatly to become a world of tribes of children, and survival and killing is all they know. All of their beliefs are tested when they meet an old man who tells them the truth.
