Questions are good things. They are there to get to know others and to find the common ground with each other, with the people we want to love. Well, I would think that the biggest thing I need to learn is to love myself. I think at least. I like lists, I make lists, mainly about anime and manga that I want to read and watch. And sometimes about American books too. My life does revolve around things that I consume. And I do not know if I am fine with that. I would like to fancy myself that I like philosophy, but in truth, I like the idea of philosophy. In the sense, philosophy means the love of knowledge, because we cannot know everything. So we need to start with things that we do not know, even though there are many famous figures in philosophy, I do not want to read from them. Because the biggest thing that I do not know if myself. And, as I am right now, I am more interested in filling the emptiness in me, if that makes sense. But I like questions. So, I went out and looked for que...

Lock You Up - [Chapter review][1-9] "A real slow burn"

"Ordinary high school student Lu Qing Yu and the elegant university teaching assistant, Cheng Jing. Their encounters were definitely not by chance or just a coincidence. Due to their previous generation's old grudges and grievances had made them unable to live tranquility and peacefully. He, who took great pains and had ransacked his brain over trying to make the star fall from the sky, but was enthralled and mesmerized by the star instead; The other him who was ignorant, trusted him wholeheartedly and faithfully, staying completely oblivious to the fact that this was all just a trap meticulously and carefully designed especially for him..." - mangaupdates.com This manhua is still currently being translated, so I thought about doing some chapter reviews as I catch up with it. As I experienced it, it is a fast read and the plot doesn't pull any punches. Originally it is already completed with 93 chapters. The creators to Lock You Up are 2y and Wei Lan Shen Ye, who are ...

Modern Wizard Hunting Project - Chapter Review [1-5]

Modern Wizard Hunting Project was written by Luma and drawn by Xiyuer and it is an ongoing modern fantasy. There is little information that can be found about it as of now. "As a witch (male), our protagonist has lived for 168 years and chosen to remain far away from the humans, living on his own until now. Of course, he has never started a romantic relationship, but one day, a super handsome golden-haired male came to his workplace and randomly started to court him! How should this gloomy little wizard react?" - description from mangaupdate.com The art is fantastic, it is cute and beautiful! I can recommend it if you want to read about something nice and beautiful, the character designs are more on the bishounen side of things. It is more on the brighter side, it does surprise me how the coloring of these web manhuas' and manhwas' can use super bright colors. Sometimes the expressions can look strange, but for me, it is easy to get over it. This is definitely not a d...

Rakshasa Li San [manhua review]

Rakshasa Li San was made by Liu Mu Qiao and it is a one-shot that had won 3rd place in an amateur contest on Kuaikan Manhua. It is a nice story about two men wandering around working around for small money. The art is fantastic and beautiful, the characters are well designed, even though, some of the side characters, who weren't put that much thought into looks strange from time to time, however, it doesn't affect the enjoyment of the manhua. They are invited in for a request from the lord of the Wei Manor, an arrogant man who believes he can get anything. And he wants something that our main characters have that is rumored that it cannot be bought by money. But the lord believes that he can have anything if he offers a price high enough. [Spoiler: The ending of this is satisfying. The Wei lord things that the man is the fabled Rakshasa Li San, who is traveling around under a false name, and has a demon that he keeps with him. This demon is the sick kid with albinism who loves ...

Demon Breeder {Chapter 1+2 review}

Demon Breeder is a manhua made by Zhījū ǒu dǎ cí made in 2018 published by AC.QQ and it is currently an ongoing long-running series. It's status as it found listed on mangaupdates.com is up to the 52 chapters, but currently, there are only the two first chapters translated. The beginning scene is disturbing, men beating up a woman. There is no explanation for this, but I do believe that it sets the tone. The art is actually quite boring and usual, the story, however, promises a strange story between a boy and a demon. The main character, a young Shenmo Shui is a bullied kid, who is often beaten up because his mother is a prostitute. Because of his mother's occupation, Shenmo doesn't go home. Then he finds a creepy looking egg, basically, a Tamagotchi, who wants him to adopt him and raise him, in exchange, he will grant any wish that he can dream up. [Spoiler: The egg tells Shenmo that right now, he sees what his heart desires and can read it if he takes him in, and the bond...
