my site
- Books: rating + quick review box + synopsis + notes + chapter-by-chapter 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 notes – my notes/comments are more like reflections so there is a somewhat high probability of reading spoilers if you read them in their entirety – I would honestly stay away from it unless spoilers are your thing (they’re my thing fs I literally read the end almost every book before I start it) – I keep them all hiddedn tho so you have to interact to see them
- Webtoons: rating + info box + synopis + art preview + chapter-by-chapter 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 really write a lot of notes 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 – I read these bc they’re free so I’m just here for entertainment not to be super picky about shit
- 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 – similar to webtoons my notes are not as extensive for 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 / archetypes for books) (title + genre + status for webtoons) (canon status + trope / theme + stauts for fanfics
- 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 synopsis on the post 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 synposis on 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 [+]

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 (detective shit) 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 notes 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” most of my notes by yapping into my text to speech so my style is really just like me ranting to an imaginary friend 😁 – I don’t really edit my reviews much so yeah you’re pretty much getting my raw thoughts here + a lot of fucking spelling errors – I also dont really use punctuation bc I dont want the grammar police on my fucking ass
- 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 notes/comments 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 the most lmao ‐ Literally can’t remember where the idea of making a website came from but omf this shit was hard af to do especially w/ ZERO coding experience (youtube and chat forums 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 what i’ve read 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
