    The 100th Time’s the Charm: She Was Executed 99 Times, So How Did She Unlock Super Love Mode?! Vol. 01-04

    Super Love Mode is actually the ability to read minds because every death stockpiled all the mana of one life into the next, over and over and over. It was actually quite amusing but not thoroughly ground-breaking.

    Frankenstein

Victor Frankenstein is a cuck who holds passion for his mother. The symbolism of passion— traditional red— is overlapped with loss, obsession,

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
