Just expressed interest in my first ever practice trial for scent work!! 😬 It has extremely limited availability as there were only 8 spots open. Hopefully I make it in so I can do this fake trial before the real deal in April!
I would be HYPED to revisit Kalos (WITH MEGAS 🤌), but tbh I worry about the gameplay experience because this game seems kind of ambitious. :’)
I have defended pokemon/game freak A LOT. But ScarVi is so laggy even without an internet connection that I never finished the DLC. It was just too irritating. The raids also seem to lag so much that I don’t enjoy doing them.
So I’m excited, but this might be the first pokemon game that I don’t preorder or grab on release day. :’) I kind of just want to hear everyone else’s game play experience first.
I bought volume one of The Ice Guy and The Cool Girl. My disappointment is immeasurable (except I did measure it) and my day is ruined.
‼️Beyond this point, there will be spoilers of the manga volume one. Be warned.‼️
(Enjoy this non-serious and very lighthearted manga review)
:SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS:
So I’ve read about this series and seen several Insta reels about how cute it is. I wanted to understand the hype over it so I grabbed the first volume as a little treat. ✨
First two pages, I literally made a Snap[chat] about how cute it was and how excited I was to dive into this book.
But one small, petty little thing kept bothering me.
The fact that the male MC is a descendant of a snow spirit was mentioned almost every other page. By chapter 8 I was like “surely, they do not say ‘Himuro is the descendant of a snow spirit’ every other page forever, right?”
After 8 chapters of this I just-
So I literally went back to the beginning and started counting every single time it says anything about this dude being a spirit. Almost every count was the exact quote, ‘Himuro is the descendant of a snow spirit’.
I think there were maybe 2-3 times where the wording was different because somebody was talking about Himuro directly to him or something similar. But for the most part it was that exact quote.
In total, I counted 13 mentions through the first volume. Which could have been forgivable, especially since the mentions slowed after chapter 8. Except for one thing.
One page mentions him being a snow spirit descendant or whatever THREE TIMES on the same page (possibly four times if you do include quotes where “snow” or “spirit” are not used and “supernatural being” is used instead).
All thirteen times tell you, the reader, Himuro is a snow spirit or the descendant of a snow spirit. In case you forgot since one page ago.
Completely unnecessary and tbh a little obnoxious to read over and over again??
I swear ‘Himuro is the descendant of a snow spirit’ is going to be a trigger for me like I’m some kind of sleeper agent once I reach old age.
On a positive note: I suppose at $14.99 this is about $1 per “snow spirit” mention. Which is a bang for my buck. Can you imagine if they only mentioned it 2-5 times? Major rip off.
Final thoughts: The story was cute. The characters did feel a bit bland and a lot of the scenes started to feel repetitive. Maybe I would enjoy this in an anime format more?
⛄️❄️10 ‘Himuro is the descendant of a snow spirit’s out of 10❄️⛄️
There should be an otome manga series where maybe the first 3-5 volumes is the “main route” and then your final volume (maybe 3-4 choices) is your fav love interest route. So you just buy whatever final volume you want, you pick how your story ends.
