Yes, I am!!! I dunno if I'm gonna watch the special eps soon tho. Sorry, I saw your post just now lol. I already added it to my plan to watch list :)

yo!

It's only acceptable that you at least try to consider someone's feelings first before you spill you speech. That's is why we also have to be mindful of the terminologies and tones we used when conversing. It doesn't help for people to always accuse of insensitivity the individuals who try to speak out their thoughts and opinions whenever they were hurt by it or be offended by it (even though the speaker means no harm). That's just how communication often felt cut off. The listener and the speaker must both have their ends met in the middle but then a speaker's piece might meant different from the listener's interpretations. It's just how you throw your ball and how the receiving end will catch it.

People must learn or hear what others thoughts are to balance out the errr 'feedback'. That's why there are authors out there who look for critical reviews more than positive reviews. And critical reviews do not necessarily mean purely negative. They wanted the thoughts to be as constructive as possible.

Just like what I said, perspective is everything. Let's see it this way. Say, a friend of ours has a friend. You like her but I do not. You seldom see her. I see her everyday. I know almost every nook of her daily routine. You only get to see her when you see her. Your 'like' is limited only to what you see she does whenever you met. My 'dislike' is limited on how I see her do her things everyday (bad and good combined). But our friend knows her and accepts her. She knows all the reasons for your 'like' and she knows all the reasons for my 'dislike', too. You might think that our friend must hate her more for she knows more. But our friend still likes her despite this because she sees something about her beyond what we can see. Maybe she can relate to her more, or she can understand where she's coming from.

It all comes down to where you're standing from, your preferences, your beliefs and your appreciation level--your thoughts will be generated by going through these factors.

Trueee! That's why it makes me want to drop anything with "Instant Love" kind of romance. It just felt very shallow and lacks the boldness of the story. The characters must have given enough descriptions/background, too, for them to own their roles.

Good! That's great then! Good luck~

Would you like to join me in my blog, then? :)

When you rate and review books/anime/films/products, you should detached yourself from the "what's beautiful to you might not be beautiful to others" kind of mindset. Because others' opinion of it should be put on the sidelines, it's your opinions that are playing. Your job is to voice them out. That is why reviews/ratings are wholly made in different perspectives. It is natural that not all will like the same things you like because not everyone has the same appreciation level as you. But your rating and reviews are yours. You gave them under your own criteria. So you should not think about the idea of 'what If I like it but you do not' ideology. I mean do not dwell on that too much. You could use that approach to even out the recommendation part of your review. Why or what are the reasons you think people won't like it. But stop there, dwelling.on that deeply will make your review yours no more. It will be a review you wrote but thoughts of the others.

True. Very seldom I'd see a shoujo series worth 9 or 10 marks. That's why I don't know many romance-themed series because when they do not appeal to me, I do not pick them up. But I am practising diversity so there are times I:d do shoujo marathon. I do not like dropping series too, because I had made it as my goal to see or read one till the end. If I dropped something, it means I can not tolerate being bored or the nonsense it has or depending on how abused I felt by tolerating it.

There will always be a chance that you would come across with someone or something with the same plot. What's important is you made your way to research about it. That's a great attitude. Your next step would be to make it with difference. Add twists, make your readers wonder, make them think, make them feel that they know how it'd flow then caught them off guard when you turn the tables on them. That's how you do the twist. That's how you play the storyteller role. You have to also make your readers feel emotional. Make them feel all the emotions they can feel, when a book is mind blowing and a roller coaster ride---it's a great book. Keep that in mind when you write your book.

I can't say anything good for blogging/reviewing tip. I did not handle my blog fully so despite it being old already, I am not fully a master in that area. But what you should be doing is to review HONESTLY. Write about your thoughts about it more and less of the story plot. There are a lot of reviewers whose review composed of 80% synopsis and 20% review. That's not how you should do it. You must clearly point out all your LIKES and DISLIKES. Since I know that you have good handling in categorizing your likes and dislikes, am positive you'd do good here.

It's funny that Aku no Higan is the only non-shoujo among them when I'm on a SHOUJO MARATHON at the moment.

You got inspired by his words, huh. I have 26 tabs opened in my browser and all of theme are mangas am gonna read--Aku no Higan is among them. That's cool so you mean to say you're gonna review it instead? How am I gonna know if you like it or not huhuhu

You will really not gonna rate them? T_T
