  1. can a mod edit the post in this thread I don't think the OP will edit it here's the correction and addition https://onehallyu.com/topic/765244-141-idols-choose-which-groupidol-they-want-to-be-friend-and-having-a-collaboration-with/?do=findComment&comment=29741149
  2. The Rickey & G-Man series by Poppy Z. Brite I really needed a break reading Worm (that pace is exhausting af reading it as a book) and that series was perfect for it, more character driven and with a certain slice of life feeling.
  3. yes, but tbh I started several different Paranormal Romance series at once when I was younger and at this point (all series getting really long) it is really getting hard to keep track. Sometimes I can't remember charas or what happened in the books before, even more if I wait one or two years until I read the next book. This is getting even worse if the authors suddenly use insignificant charas that only got small mentions before or new ones. So I am slowly losing interest in a lot of them (besides Nalini Singh ones, I LOVE her) I will probably read some of them again tho, when I am in the mood, because I enjoy binging such series a lot more than reading each when it's released historical: WW2 I found Night by Elie Wiesel really really good also The Book thief of course, the narrative is brilliant; sorry if you already read these~
  4. Abercrombie - ohhh I didn't even know that he had a YA series, I just looked at it and will definetly put it on my list. Seems as if the gritty is a little toned down from his First Law series and that sounds a lot more appealing for me Sanderson-
  5. Rothfuss - I am still waiting for the third book in his triology until I will start it, I read the first 50? pages or so and loved !!!! it. It totally captures you and thought "oh I will only have to wait a few months (I didn't knew how long he took between the first two at that time)" <_> well.... I am happy I waited; I hate to have years between book of a series same reason I will never read GRRM Abercrombie- dnf'ed 'The Blade itself', didn't really capture me Peter Brett- yesss, didn't read the fourth one of his series yet, is already on my kindle for the next time I am in the mood for it~ Sanderson- definetly plan to sometimes soon, not sure which series I will try but at least from him I know the next one (if the series is not finished) comes soonish I must say I am not the biggest fan of most Epic Fantasy series, I like Urban a lot more and when I was younger YA fantasy like Tamora Pierce, Christopher Paolini or Jim Butchers Codex Alera (it's shelved a lot more as Epic but I really think of it more as a YA tbh) (I am so dissapointed with current YA trends, it's not even funny)

    The Rant Thread

    I am so annoyed @ amazon, I decided to get a new kindle paperwhite, mine is already a few years old now and they had it cheaper the whole week, but their quality control is utter s***. I am already on my third try now, because the other two had both a yellow tint and I sent them back. I think they just don't care because people that never had a kindle before wouldn't know the difference, but really this is just rediculous. (not my pic) it's just really not ok for such a big company to sent out such different qualities and not do anything about it!!!!!
  7. I hope just because the Op of that Nazi thread posted in here doesn't mean there won't be warning points, that thread was immature & offensive af and the OP paniced only becaus the reactions were so negativ... even if it was out of context, to even make a clickbait about this topic and to be so immature about it with that gif.... juts ughhhh... I think there should be a punishment for sth like that, especically because the OP is a staff member
  8. the first Full Metal Achemist Brotherhood one, I love the song sooo much and it's the only reason I didn't skip it (what I do by all others, even the visual stunning ones)
  9. mhhh I think the differences were more because it was translated into British English, I guess? (because it's in London) if it's a translation from English into German I wouln't know cause the translator would just use the most common German word for it or the one that fits best into the sentence so that it flows good (I wouldn't know if the original was AE or BE). the problem from German to English with the sentence structure could be that the German language uses a lot of long sentences with dependent clauses and that is not as common in English. And cultural, mhhhhh if it's sth about the history of a word (like how one word is influenced because of it's history and how it was used in the past) maybe, either the translator would try to find sth similar or I just wouldn't get it. but in this case I also wouldn't reconize that there was a deeper meaning cause I just don't know it. but besides that I don't think there would be big cultural things that could throw me off for me the problem is more that there are nuances that can be lost in the translation and it depends a lot on the translator how good it feels in the end (for example the translation or Pride and Prejudice, if you compare the first sentence of the German translation, there are astonishing differences that can change the feeling completly. Of course this is pretty extrem, because the writing is more difficult than most books but it's just a examble ) if the translator is good tho, it just feels like a German book
