✶ dropped.

• a beauty's blade chapter 14/51 i just could not get into it.
• manhattanhenge not dropped, on pause from chapter 28 because i'm not solid on the translation yet. might wait for the other one to be complete first.
• rainbow city chapter 52/142 after a week of giving it my best, i'm calling it quits just before the end of the main story. my reason being.. i just can't force myself to read what i don't have interest in when i could be reading something else. little disclaimer–i don't read mtl novels. i had started this novel thinking it was at least edited mtl. it seemed that way to me the first few handful of chapters before quickly devolving into mismatched pronouns and irrelevant names, as if the mtler had given up. (if they were ever editing it at all ahem (ᵔ ̮ ᵔ)›;;) i don't think the story is bad. soohwan is a bit weird at first, but the plot is interesting. i probably would've finished it if it had been properly translated. one day i might peep in and see how it ends. for now.. it's going to sit in 'dropped' while i reflect on seokhwa's obsession with stones from time to time.
