Crime & Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky | Here it is - my favourite book of all time. Gritty, pessimistic and a real look into the human mind. Delves into moralty, socioeconomic issues and more. Being revolved around the human condition, one of its themes is hope. |
★★★★★ |
Loki: Where Mischief Lies - Mackenzi Lee | Such a promising book on self-acceptance and identify, but fails at the very end to send its message. Such a shame! A very good book otherwise that does a far better job characterising (young) Loki than the awful Loki tv series. |
★★★★☆- |
The Possession of Mr Cave - Matt Haig | Very intresting book exploring fears and anxieties of a father. |
★★★★☆ |
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams | Solid entry into the "increasingly inaccurate trilogy". |
★★★★☆ |
The Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy - Douglas Adams | The humour...! This is the best volume out of the five books. Like all the entries, it's philosophical and witty. |
★★★★★ |
Life, the Universe and Everything- Douglas Adams | Damn enjoyable. |
★★★★☆ |
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish - Douglas Adams | They named a song in the movie after this book. It's a good song. |
★★★+☆☆ |
Mostly Harmless - Douglas Adams | Douglass confessed he had a bad year writing this book, and that he felt pessimistic. He wanted to re-write the ending, but unfortunately died. |
★★★☆☆ |

Dungeon Meshi / Delicious in Dungeon | What's this? A well-written story with food focus on the side? Smashed my expectations. I love the Thorden siblings. Update the manga is finished. It was great, but please don't bother with the terrible anime. |
★★★★☆ |
Up to date |
Death Note (Manga only) | Pretty much perfect. Light is a top-tier character. After book 7, slightly went down but kept up the mind games and interest throughout. |
★★★★★+ |
Finished. Also have #13 and L's spinoff book |
Levius /est | Seomewhat difficult to follow, but I read the author was adamant to write it left-to-right (which is not his native format). Gritty, but has a cute MC and good female characters. |
★★★★☆ |
Ongoing. |
+Anima | Pretty typical. There's some cool elements to it, but overall standard. You can really tell the creator preferred certain characters... |
★★☆☆☆ |
Dropped. |
Phantom Tales of the Night | Gorgeous cover art! Gets deep at times and suprised me. Cute bishies galore. |
★★★+☆☆ |
Ongoing. On book 4. |
