I like reading Sci-fi, Mystery and stuff like that, still have to sink my teeth into the Fantasy genre but I would probably like it too. I also like Manga, but I use Anilist for that, until support for it improves here...

I completely forgot to add this book here, but I finished it and it was great! It is a bit more niche and even boring at times compared to the space operas I've read lately, but it was still pretty interesting and rather short too!

Haven't updated my progress here in a while, but I'm already on chapter 38 and this book is epic!

The length of these chapters is literally perfect enough, I just think "I can obviously read this in one sitting, just do it"

And then I'm done! But the book is so good and the next chapter is the same amount of pages, so I can obviously read that too! And I do!! And I can't stop!!!

Already starting chapter 15 of this book, it is seriously awesome. I didn't expect it to hook me like it does! So many plot points and characters, but it's all handled really well thus far. I'm liking it

I don't know why I never mentioned here that I started reading this book! I am already at chapter 10 and loving it a lot.

Finished this book, after quite a lot of stuff distracting me in between.

That was a great read, super different from everything I've read before and intriguing until the end!

Finished chapter 18 now.

I'm pretty much two thirds of the way there and so much stuff has happened.

Some review of this I read this is "a caveman story in the future" which makes quite a bit more sense now. Lots of interesting developments.

Read quite a bit before getting to work.

There's quite a lot of new developments now so I hope the workday goes quickly.

Chapter 8 of this book is insane. I decided to bring my Kobo to work instead of a gaming device, but it was worth it. I'm completely immersed in this world again.
