my site
- Books: rating + quick review box + synopsis + rant + noted & quoted + comments
- my rating system is on the home page – if you’re wondering about the half ratings just assume the rule from the full rating above it – there is probably an explanation behind the half in the rant – my rants / notes are more like reflections so there is a somewhat high probability of reading spoilers if you read them in their entirety – stick to the highlighted text for virtually no spoilers
- Webtoons: rating + stat box + synopis + art preview + comments about new posts that I like (or list of favorites if complete)
- most of the webtoons I’m reading are not complete yet so I don’t feel right writing full on reviews about them – if I’m reading and keeping up w/ one you can assume that means the art and story are at least a 4 in my eyes – even if i dnf one its proably bc I was being picky not bc I actually think the art or the story is bad
- Fanfics: rating + quick review box + synopsis + favorite moments
- I am a lot more lenient in my ratings for fanfics + I probably wont even post anything I rate less than a 4 unless I would read it again / would recommend it – I don’t do as extensive “reviews” of fanfics bc they’re free art made for fun – I just want quick easy to read stats to remember what it’s about and what I liked about it – basically my ratings for fanfics are for my own future reference and for recs not because I actually want to judge or critque the art – like i said previously its free art I commend the authors for even publishing and sharing it w/ others in the first place I just read so much of it and I love to re-read books/fanfics/webtoons a lot so I want to remember which ones I liked which ones I didn’t and why if that makes sense (I can totally private this section of my site if this bothers anyone)
- Tags & Captions: each post will have either 3 or 4 items / tags in the caption for a quick overview (rating + themes / tropes for books) (status + title or trope + genre for fanfics and webtoons)
- the three tags on book post captions are just the tropes / themes that I gravitate towards the most, or what I think was most prominent in the book / fits the book the best
- All posts will have more than 3 tags – tags not shown in the caption of the post will be at the bottom of the post’s page
- note when using search: posts will appear in your search result even if the tag you selected is not in the post caption – This is bc the tag still applies to the post (again all tags related to a post will be at the bottom of the post page) – rest assured the filter is working correctly
- Comments: to delete a comment press on the gray profile avatar under the comment count – if you want to include something that is a spoiler press [+]
☑ = notes under title
□ = no notes under title
- 🖤 = liked chapter
- 😽 = first kiss
- 😼 = spicy
- ✨ = re-read chapter (for partial re-reads)
- 🖤 & ✨ can be combined w/ eachother and other emojis
- Songs: can apply to a scene – a character – or the whole book
me
- Just a 23 yr old college student who wants to organize her books, fanfics, and webtoons in one place 🙈 – my top three genres are romance, fantasy and suspense / mystery / thriller so if you mess w/ any of those this could be the place for you
- this is mostly just for me but I want to keep it open as another place to look for recs (I feel like I’m always looking for new recs places – idk that could just be me tho)
- THIS IS NOT A REVIEW SITE ‐ its a journal ‐ my “reviews / rants” are more like reflections / post thoughts – pls don’t take anything here too seriously, I’m literally just ranting and getting my thoughts out about books that I’ve read / am reading bc I refuse to give up flower so now I have the memory of a fly – I literally “write” my “reviews” by yapping into my text to speech then I just paste it here so my style is really just like me ranting to an imaginary friend 😁 – I don’t really edit my reviews much outside of what like the Grammarly in my google docs tells me to do so yeah you’re pretty much getting my raw thoughts here
- I live in the IE (yikes ik) born and raised in California so I use literally, honestly, basically, and like a fuck ton in my rants so sorry for that in advance – don’t say I didn’t warn u
- I tried doing this on goodnotes but by like my 5th page that shit started taking forever to load bc I was doing to much lmao ‐ Literally can’t remember where the idea of making a website came from but omf this shit was hard to do especially w/ ZERO coding experience (youtube and chat saved me thank the lords for them) – anyway what I’m trying to say here is if you have any advice on how to make my site better I would greatly appreciate it
- All credit to my tag names goes to IHeartSapphic check out their bookfinder to find a shit ton more books than my search could ever recommend (mine is limited to my reviews theirs has like every sapphic book known to woman kind)
- I’m slowly trying to diversify my reading and add more books to more tags so pls bear w/ me
- thats all folks hope u enjoy! feel free to contact me if you have any issues
