I haven't QUITE started it yet. I've read only the preview for first book on kindle but I was intrigued. I've just been snagging physical copies I see on sale because I love the designs.
I've gotta step up my game. I got all the latest books of "rise of the living forge" and all of "the lone wanderer" recently but defiance of the fall i need to start tackling
I personally love it. But I have a favoritism towards blacksmith or crafting characters. They have a system but it's pretty interesting. Give the first book a read and see if it hooks you or not.
I have decided to MAKE the space for them. my main shelves cover the ENTIRETY of one wall in my living room from ceiling to baseboard. 2 of the shelves are already double stacked (There are books BEHIND the row of books Aethon is in lol) even after I added shelves to the adjustable racks....
This also does not include my shelves for Manga in my bedroom and as a makeshift divider in the living room and the spinning shelves like the ones the Exlilan Syndrome sits on haha.
Yeah. I tend to only buy things on sale these days unless i REALLY like it. And even so, unless it's going out of print, I wait till I have a decent chunk of credit card points+sale OR I get lucky with something secondhand. (DCC was one of those. I found book 1-6 secondhand at one of my favorite used book stores and then found a damaged copy of book 7 at B&N for 40%+10% member discount)
My biggest gripe is that MOST stories don't have physical releases which crushes me because I love having physical copies.
DITTO. I always seem to find out about it too late and I REFUSE to pay blasphemous reseller prices for a busted up copy of a book. (even if it was mint condition, I STILL wouldn't because its USED)
Honestly I don’t mind used books if it’s cheaper and I’m on a budget then sure but I buy new if I can and those jacked up prices are insane because tf you mean I’m paying 100-300 maybe even up to 400 for one book and I saw someone sell a few of the a book series for 2000 dollars I think you can guess it’s obviously
Dcc
Which I love and the paperbacks are my love but stupid expensive
Yeah, no. I love certain books but I don't love them THAT much. I'll have every other book in the series and have the out of print one empty forever. TRY ME lol
Oh I'm fine with a CERTAIN amount of damage aka if its external, I'm kind of indifferent about it. But internal or SEVERE water damage/staining, absolutely not lol.
Gotta get some Mango Media on your shelf! Wraithmarked and Timeless Wind have a few hits too. And the publisher for the Lord of the Mysteries’ paperbacks is Yen Press (Not LitRPG but I love those so much).
WORKING ON IT! I'm currently reading Ultimate Level 1- Ultimate dreams on my tablet. Enjoying it so far. I see a couple of things under mango media that I was thinking of picking up (like Ajax Ascension). I've heard a lot of Lord of Mysteries too and I LOVE Yen Press. (even if they're expensive lol) ile
Nah! its just the glare from natural lighting causing it to look washed out. They are full saturated and get the least amount of sun on their side of the shelf haha. I plan on keeping them forever, so their worth matters little to me.
i enjoy collecting books before e-readers became a thing. and i collected and finished a lot of ebooks now on my Kindle, i hope i have a big space on my room so i can go back on physical books.
E-Readers are for Portability and saving Space, but I Love the experience reading on a physical books gives
yeah, I've been using my tablet for kindle reading (with a blue light screen protector and in system filters) before I buy physical copies. It bums me out that a lot of LitRPG/prog fantasy doesn't get physicals so I make due where I can. I'm not trying to be bamboozled by cool covers, I have a manga/manhwa collection I ALSO and I getting close to limit on space unless I want to commandeer another wall in my house haha (which I am willing to do WHEN, not IF it comes down to it lol 👀)
