I&#8217;m doing a post by season and review by episode on the post itself, since each episode is an hour long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Re: Webcomics page. I&#8217;m debating whether to combine it with recommended reading. The page is an amorphous blob of links right now, really not pleasing to look at. And honestly, I need to review everything on the list anyway&#8230; an excuse to read more webcomics (or reread them, fuckin why not!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Re: Genres. I tried to arrange them and continuously ran into this block of&#8230; what&#8217;s too specific? How do I group them? do I make a &#8220;Comics&#8221; genre dedicated to how it&#8217;s presented, meaning Comics is 4-koma\/strips\/manga\/manhua\/manwha\/webcomic? Do I even use the &#8220;Fiction&#8221; genre at this point because it gets so inflated with specific kinds of fiction? Will I be reading enough of one genre to merit the tag? Still thinking on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Re: Tropes. In the process of doing this, I&#8217;ve realized that writing a description of each and tying it to the actual tag itself is much more efficient, but also, there&#8217;s more tropes that I notice than I have thought. It&#8217;s taking time. I will be removing the Trope Guide this month though and also adding a little more for certain tropes that require a bigger explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Re: Digital media chart. Absolutely not. I am a digital hoarder and I have a lot of digital media, well into the thousands. Much as I do love and adore organizing my collections over and over again, making an accurate chart of everything isn&#8217;t in the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT&#8217;S BEEN DONE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clorinspats.com\/mediamenagerie\/the-harem-scale\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2308\">The Harem Scale<\/a> has been added. With the uptick in the amount of harem genre (oh, fuck, I have to add that to the genre list, don&#8217;t I?) work I have been reading, I decided to make a fun little scale that I can make little radar graphs out of, because radar graphs are neat. I absolutely don&#8217;t condemn harem stories, but there&#8217;s a fine line between &#8220;waifus being sold to you&#8221; and &#8220;realized character&#8221;. I think that the page explain it adequately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/clorinspats.com\/mediamenagerie\/category\/zines\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/clorinspats.com\/mediamenagerie\/category\/zines\/\">Zine category<\/a> is now active. You can now see the most recent 6 that I have read on the front page. I&#8217;m still tweaking the layout because there&#8217;s more I&#8217;d like to share about zines than say about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I&#8217;m adding straight up porn to some of my reviews.
