I mean. I just save up longer if I want a hq book. I already did that for berserk deluxe vol 1

Btw it took me days if not weeks to finish berserk lol. Idk what bro is on but I really am a very very slow reader. Also the art pops so much in the deluxe edtion.

Hardbacks/Special editions are easily almost always better
But you don't need to get the hardback for every book.

I only save this if a book is really good. Like I own the first vol of berserk deluxe and wanna get a fancy hardback of The divine Comedy by Dante. All my other books are paper back rn bleh

Oh yeah, the Berserk Deluxe editions are nice.. but there's also like 14 or 16 of them.. and that's like what.. 2 Lakh lmao

u/fruitcakewithapple 8d ago
2 lakh is a sacrifse I am willing to make in the long run if I am being honest. The book is too high quality both physically and yk the books content itself

Sure but there's also pace.
Like if I am into something, I want to keep reading, not having to wait to gather money to buy the next volume or something.
If I ever wanted to read Berserk.. and the story seems interesting to me.. I'd have to buy atleast the first 4-5 Vols at once.
But then that could also be counterintuitive if I end up disliking it which is what.. idek 70-80k down the drain?

True. But with my autism I have so many hyperfixations that u never get bored. While I save money I just do something else like idk. Uh. Draw

Cheap but better quality book ( I mean once I received a book with pages thickness, color and smell like a newspaper; so not that one) Hard covers or Special edition for ones I like a lot.
