Do you think the challenge should be limited to BL only?

!!:D

 

That's how I looked before, but I was actually wondering if it was possible to see the number of views inside the actual book thread? But I have looked all over yesterday, and I couldn't find, so i I don't think so:D thanks for clarifying!

 

got it with the title, mine fits than, thank you!^^

 

P.S. there are so many questions & answers, this thread will be like a huge FAQ for next year by the end of this challenge xD or we could make an actual FAQ for next years out of all Saga's answers by the end ahah:D

 

P.S.S. I was very surprised to realize that most of the books I've read for so far had less than 2k views..O_o I was definitely worried it would be harder to find them!

, this is getting embarrassing, but I have one more (last?) question:D

 

I'm reading a series at the moment, and I was wondering if I could use each book of the series for different tasks.. like, (for example) book 1 for "starts with a vowel", book 2 for "has less than 2k views", book 3 for "written by male author", etc.. would it be Ok?

Hm.

 

....Wouldn't that clash with the rule - "Each manga/novel title can be used only once within this year's challenge. That is to say, in your list - no repetition of titles."

 

Yes, I got it - "Series". But fact is, they are part of one whole plot/story line. So, I think it would clash with that rule..?

Maybe I see it that way and you don't, no idea. How do you think?

that definitely makes sense, I agree!:D

 

yep, I was really not sure about it, there was nothing in the rules about series & I didn't know what to do with them. Because on the one hand, they're still separate full-length novels... but at the same time it felt like cheating - I could easily clear out 5 or 6 tasks reading the same story^^

 

so I'm glad I asked. thank you!:D

After reading omegaverse religiously for the last 6 months, I might have chosen the least exciting one possible for "read an omegaverse novel" .. Urg, I'm struggling through "Saved: Breaking Free" & thanks to it, now I know what propaganda shaved down your throat feels like.

 

I swear, any moment now omegas are going to unite & form a democratic pro-choice,equal rights political party. Not unless I drop this book first, of course.

 

P.S.

you thought "With or Without" was bad? Try this & I promise, you will be crying T_T

 

P.S. not that there is anything wrong with fighting for your rights, but the political agenda was too heavy-handed in this book.

Nah, it's just a matter of priority. There will always be requests. Even if there isn't, I will probably upload some books anyway, so it's not like I have more work to do by uploading books for reading challenge participants first, so please feel free to tag me in your request, and let's have fun with the reading together.

I want to confirm if 2k means 2000 views, that I haven't made a mistake. So for task 38 I have to read a manga with views under 2000, if I'm corret? Sorry to ask you about this.

It's me again

 

 

I have a few questions regarding the tasks:

 

Does Mitsumei by Totsuki Eko and Katou Erena qualify for 58, manga with "childhood friends" topic?

Does Oshiete, Ookami-san. by Nanoka qualify for 64, title with "trap" settings?

Does Soredemo Suki Desu Kasahara-san by Omaru qualify for 67, manga with main chara getting drunk?

 

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!

 

 

I hope you have an amazing day! :)

Hello there, cutie!

Re Yes, Mitsumei qualifies. Actually it has the childhood friends tag on BU as well.

 

Re Nope. XD Not that kind of 'trap'. Trap as a sub-tag, as it's not even a genre but some claim it to be, for males who dress like women and pretend to be women. Hence "trap", you know. To lure some straight man into the 'trap' XD. You might google yaoi+trap manga as key words, I am sure you will find a lot of stuffz!

 

Re Yeah, it does qualify. He actually-- ._. Ops. Sorry, nearly spoiled XDDD

 

Enjoy your read!

Hey hey!

 

So why did I choose that manga... yoyo

 

Well, I avoided this manga because I made the mistake and read comments about it. And most of them said how fucked up the relationships are and that it has a really dark storyline... stuff like that.... and because of that and some personal issues regarding some of my past and current relationships I was reluctant of reading it although I always thought the storyline sounds interesting.

So because this is a challenge I thought I will overcome my “fear” and read it... and seriously it wasn’t even half as dark, psycho and messed up as I thought it would be and heard of others. the Only pairing I could relate to and I felt a little uncomfortable reading about them because of all the similarities the story has to my life was the one about senzaki x tatsumi... it broke my heart a little :_red_fox 1:

But honestly... I don’t know if you have read ogawa chise’s series of one shots that are all related To eachother, the ones about incest? Two pairings are with brothers... and the other relationship is between father and son... those stories are waaay darker then caste heaven...

and after reading harada’s manga, kokoro o korosu houhou, killing stalking, and other angst manga/ manhwa like lover boy or even the most annoying manhwa I am reading at the moment which would be ‘a guy like you’ I don’t understand why i was so scared to give this manga a try xD

 

Sorry, this turned out quite long :D

 

Enjoy your day ;)

 

Oh! have you completed this task already? Which manga would your pick be for this task?

Regarding the "trap" task: Does Otoshiana ni Hamerarete by Michinoku Atami qualify?

 

What do you think about Koujitsusei no Tobira by Shoowa for the title with its cover's main color "Yellow" (60)?

What do you think about Second Life by Takarai Saki for the title with its cover's main color "Blue" (31)?
