So Recently I Finished Reading Battle Royale Which I Was Struggling To Finish For Quite A While. Not
So recently I finished reading Battle Royale which I was struggling to finish for quite a while. Not because it was bad (though it did have it's issues) but because I always pick it up at seemingly the worst time. The first time was the end of my Bachelors, this time it was during my Masters. But I did finish it, this time and that was partly because I was able to keep track by keeping a notebook, which I will show pictures from below.
(I don't know why tumblr decides to show them upside down but fuck me I guess. Also my writing may or may not be readable, i tend to have child doctor hand writing)
I did some drawings of the characters on the inside, as you can see. I did tend to favor the female characters, not gonna lie so that's why I've been drawing them. I just found less of them insufferable (also drawing girls is easier). Their appearance wasn't based on the books or the manga, though they did have a slight influnlence. I mostly got inspo from @dullahanart who is really talented.
Now I didn't hate all of the guys. I LOVED the Kiriyama family and their chapter/s were some of my favourite parts.
I also liked Shogo and I wish he was explored more outside of having to talk to Shuya.
Speaking of him. That is my main problem with the story. I couldn't stand half the people who were meant to be the main characters. It's a shame because Noriko and Shuuya have such potential (especially the former).
And I understand the point of Shinji, but only because I watched a video on the series that explained him way better than the book. I couldn't stand reading him, and I dreaded any chapter that involved him because I soon realised he was the culprit of why I couldn't finish the book before. Talk about an actual Gary Stew, and I'm not even using that as a buzz word here. I've never read such an unbearably perfect character.
I think instead of giving a main cast and telling them "these are the characters you should like", the story could have benefited from having no definitive main character or "winner". You can tell who is going to survive pretty early on, and honestly it really downplayed the steaks. I would have prefered if each character got equal attention so that nobody could tell who would come out of it. That way, one could really get more invested in the side characters, who are all the highlight of the book.
But I don't know, that's just my opinion. I honestly think I like the movie more, but I can at least say I prefer the book to the manga.
More Posts from Mocknerd and Others
Ok so that didn't work. I would draw some stuff anyway but it is midnight again, very late, and along with other things. Posting or drawing something would not be wise right now and I have a schedule to go back to. Ikebukuro Records birthday celebration, canceled. Still feel free to post any fanart, reviews, jokes or just spread the word. It's just that my free time is limited. Education is holding me hostage.
COMMENCE CELEBRATION OF BIRTH
Hey guys! It just struck midnight! And for me that means my teen years are officially behind me (please help I'm not ready to adult). So to celebrate, it would be really cool if people could spread the word about Ikebukuro Records, the Drrr!! Dating Simulator Demo. Feel free to send asks, draw fanart, do reviews, post jokes, and I might post some art if I feel like it ✌😋 (no stories though. College work says no)
The Black Rider: Celty (DURARARA!)
i mean this from the bottom of my heart: no one is impressed by your loud ass car. actually we talked about it and we all want you dead.
everyone watch durarara!!
Please remember the difference between plot twist and story whiplash.
Happy fathers day to all the dads of Durarara. And by dads I mean the actual dads, like Mizuki, Shizuo, Simon, Denis, and Izaya (YES YOU ARE A DAD JUST ADMIT IT), and NOT Shirou Orihara, Shingen Kishitani and many more. Fuck you to the latter. Fucking take care of your kids. Talk to them. For crying out loud.

I no longer consider myself part of this fandom.
In light of recent events, I want to inform that I will no longer participate with the Love Letter fandom. I would also like to clarify that I am not part of the Yandere Simulator fandom either, and haven’t been for about a month. Although Love Letter is part of my fandom list that I posted a little while ago, I will not be accepting any requests, chats or challenges related to it. I will only do so, when those responsible for certain actions will react appropriately and face the consequences, as well as reform their current behaviour.
That will be all
