Recommendations Anyone have a book I can get hyped for?

[EMatthews18]

Basically, when I get into a book (or any form of media), I get really excited about it and start making lots of comments. Ever since I learned how to use the multiquote function on SH, I’ve been spamming people’s books with long comments, highlighting whatever little thing I liked, found funny, crashed out at, have questions or theories over, etc. (you can check my SH profile for examples lol). It’s like when you annotate a physical book with random notes, highlights, or comments. Also I assumed that authors love comments, sometimes even more than likes (I know I do) because it shows you’re really engaging with their hard work, so I comment whenever I can. Sometimes if I *really* like it I’ll draw fan art, too (anything to procrastinate from my own work).

Does anyone have a book they think I could get really into and don’t mind some comment “spamming” on almost every chapter? I’m just a simple girl, I like cute/soft romance, comedy, or drama, but I also love action, fantasy, horror, etc. and honestly any genre. Character-focused stories are the best. Although I am picky with what I think is worth binging. The only thing I probably won’t make comments on is pure smut, not because I don’t like smut (how can a fanfiction reader not), but because I’m shy. ? Explicit content included in a book is fine, just books centered around smut and erotica gets me a little embarrassed hehe.

Edit: before anyone asks, this isn't a story feedback thread, I won't be giving any constructive criticisms for books recommended here. I'm honestly a terrible objective reader (and any media enjoyer) because anything I like gets a mental 5 star rating from me. My favorite movie is whatever last movie I watched all the way. But that's also why I could get picky. I believe if I'm reading these books for free, then there's no reason to say anything "bad" publicly (unless I'm forced to), and I'm just going to turn off my brain and get immersed like an NPC audience. The worst "review" I'll leave is just closing the book and silently walking away.

P.S. I am way more likely to keep commenting if you respond to my comments! Just so I don’t feel like I’m screaming into the void. Let’s be mutually engaging! :)

Here I’m trying to get this going:

The Vampire Idol

Darius Myeong-Jun, 21 years old, is a member of the popular K-Pop trio, City of Angels, based out of LA in California. But he has a secret: he’s a vampire and falling in love with one of his best guy friends was not in the cards…

I know K-pop and vampires aren’t for everybody but this project’s been something I been trying to do for years: it was based on a Fanfiction I read about a band I used to like before I found out some disturbing stuff about one of the members and I kinda grew out of my Emo pop punk phase. It’s literally one of the few plots that stuck with me. I just put my own spin on it. It’s queer too so I know that can be a little bit tricky to find audiences for.

I'm still waiting on your Doll story you know~ ?

Yes!!! I am a fellow vampire writer :) I also like K-Pop. So K-Pop and Vampires is the theme here. My romance is also interracial! Darius(the MMC) is South Korean American, and Antonio(his love interest, older than him by eight years), is Peruvian American. Latino x Asian.how bout I follow you?

 

[ElijahRyne]

If you are talking of general story recs, I recommend reading the When they Cry VN‘s, Umineko and Higurashi, and the SciADV VN’s, Chaos;Head NoAH, Steins;Gate, Robotic;Notes, Chaos;Child, and Anonymous;Code.

For the When they Cry VN’s it is recommended to mod them for voice acting and animated sprites. For the SciADV VN’s the first VN was heavily censored in the west, so it is recommended to mod it.

I'm still waiting on your Doll story you know~ ?

I have about three chapters of that one done, waiting until I have 5 done before releasing.

I was gonna be like "wow 8 years what a big age gap" and suddenly remembered my couple's age gap is several centuries ?? not the brightet one here. Latino x Asian huh? That's awesome. You really don't see many interracial relationships where both members are POC in media. Thanks for the rec! I'll check it out. :)

Who's your bias in K-pop? ? I don't listen to it much, but I do really like Taemin from SHINee. Probably because he looks submissive and bree—never mind.




Oof I should really make a new thread for book recs. It's getting crowded here and now I have some examples of books I like to narrow down the recs.

K-pop is hit and miss for me. I like groups like Enhypen(they have vampire themed songs), Blackpink. Katseye for an American K-pop group. But if I had to pick a favorite idol: it is Lisa from Blackpink. I watched White Lotus season 3 for her. Lisa just has this cute vibe about her and she’s Thai which is cool. You don’t see a lot of that. And thanks for the interest! It’s hard getting some stories off the ground.

Rebirth of the Nephilim which is about a former human reincarnating into a formerly extinct species and attempting to end a religious war that has plagued the land for millenia. It's not pure smut; it's mostly about the MC and the people she meets; it has lots of relationship building and a decent amount of action.

Mine is a mystery, fantasy with psychological and emotional elements.
You’re welcome to check it out if that sounds like your thing ?

Hi! I'm Alex!

100% relate to being shy omg. Even still, idk if you're still monitoring this thread, but I would love someone who likes to comment and be mutually engaging with on SH!!! It feels like a ghost town to me! So many bots, too!

I'm working on a trilogy I've dubbed The Emergence Chronicles, going Emergence, Convergence, then Revelations. It's something I've started calling a Dark Urban/Epic Fantasy, and it features a group of shattered misfits trying to heal themselves enough to step into their roles as the only ones capable of saving the world from a mad wannabe God bent on omnicide.

I may have made a mistake by going Kindle exclusive with Book 1, but I'm not repeating that with Book 2, and when I get the rights to put it back up, my first book will be back on here in full on before April! If you don't mind reading out of order, Convergence will be available, and I upload chapters every Saturday at 8 AM MST. I have a 5.5k+ Series Bible, and I'm just starting Book 2, so I've got a lot of content planned ahead of me!

Best Wishes,
Alex Riven

(P.S. I'm even working on another 5-book series based in the same universe in the background, but that one's still very much in the oven, so stand by until after TES is done :P)
