Hey Librarian sorry to reply to an unrelated post, but I'm trying to find the clip where NL refers to Jimmy Carter's death with a phrase like "he was just a boy". Having no luck with NLQuotes and wondering if you knew when or where it appeared in your clips.

congratulations!

Congratulations! Such a great manga to be able to work on as well

I also wrote about my experience reading it (including some of the games and other media I engaged with during and afterwards) in my weekly reading reports I post on my website. Link here: rubyrawlins.com/reading_repo...
(Late August to early October include this book)

Curious why the art on the GBC has Super Mystery Dungeon art.

Specific, obvious arguments in favour of their actions end up expressing a weakness in their thinking.

The "dear reader" expression is interesting to me because its absence might position the reader to observe the events neutrally, but including it places the reader and narrator at opposites - encouraging scepticism towards the narrator, and their motives.

Ultimately the book was still readable and (as far as I know) the story was intact, but something about print-on-demand seeds suspicion. It feels somewhat dishonest, and I start to wonder what other aspects of the purchase are not made apparent for the customer.

However, when I finished the entire book I reached this page at the end. Printed on the same day the book was ordered. Admittedly I don't know much about made-to-print books, but if I had to pin the low quality on anything it'd be this.

I suspected it might have been a print-on-demand-type situation with some low-quality printer owned by Amazon, and (at first) I was surprised to see that it didn't seem to be the case (though perhaps someone with a keener eye could detect foul play from just this page).

A distracting (and suspicious) feature of this edition was the change of typeface at various points in the text (seen here on line 16). At first I thought it was to highlight certain parts of text, but it occurred between lines even for words that spanned both lines.

Just about the only positive thing I have to remark about the printed edition is the cover. The illusion of depth and simply shapes and scrap-book aesthetic all appeal to me. The way it's printed onto the page is not perfect, but it achieves the 3D effect and I like it.

I particularly enjoyed the penultimate moments in the hotel. Just like Lolita's first half, there was a dizzying energy as the protagonist had the scene set (almost) perfectly, interrupted by a swarm of inconveniences and self sabotage.
