Mysterious Lotus Casebook

I can't tell if I want to write a separate and long-winded post about this, or end up being too lazy to summarize my thoughts, but anyway, we finished it! The last few eps were not great (for many different reasons), but had some good dialogue... I kept my expectations low, so the show didn't actually disappoint me, but I was way more annoyed with the Nanyin storyline than I expected to be. (I thought I had high tolerance but the """twists""" at the end hit my rage button lol.)

Shortbox Comics

I spent all of October trying to decide what to get and facilitating a 5-way trade, and naturally now that the hard part is over I have no motivation to read hahahaha

I did finish reading what I got for myself: Birds of the Storm, Light Through Memory, and Minnow Soup. All of them were visually satisfying, and Light Through Memory was an interesting experience.

Ripe Town (8/12)

Now that we're familiar with the relevant characters as well as the factions in the story, I'm invested. There are also more group dynamics at this point, compared to the first half where it was all very individualistic with no one you could trust, but I still wonder about the show's stance on morality and what the conclusion will be. The episodes are getting longer though... (I have been duly warned that the last ep is an hour and 40 minutes long, so at least I won't be shocked. XD)

Time Concert: Old Friends ep5

G.E.M. performing 平行世界/Parallel, which I just learned that she wrote herself. She plays the piano here too ♥ Prior to that, she explains that while she wrote it for a movie, she had her beloved maternal grandma, who passed away when she was 19, in mind during the writing process. ;___;
