It’s that time of the week again. This time it’s about books you hate to read but still keep reading. Usually I drop a book when I don’t enjoy it but currently, I’m reading a series (Mythical Hero’s Otherworld Chronicles) that I absolutely despise with a passion but I still keep grabbing new volumes for some reason that I might need to get checked out.

Does anyone of you have something like that or am I the only masochistic weirdo out here?

    I think for me it was tearmoon empire. I hated Mia’s luck and how everything she has done went to her benefit.

    When I have heard that translator was changed I lost a reason to pick the series back up again.

      I love Tearmoon, but yeah, the translator change was rough. It got better since the last volume, but it still lacks the wit of the first volumes.

        From the looks of it I dropped it mid way volume 8. (Way before the translator change, I think I got bored)

          I read volume 10 it’s okay ish.

          My main issue is I feel like I am loosing track of where the plot is heading.

          Quof also kinda spoiled me on prepubs as in Acendence of a Bookworm most of the time parts usually end at the end of 1-2 chapters.

          Tearmoon by contrast can have parts which end in the middle of a chapter (not sure if that’s the norm, hope I don’t sound to picky).

            I read a few other prepubs and yea, they usually end in the middle of the chapter.

            AoB is special. As Rozemyne would describe it it would be a (cash cow) whatever that means. It certainly gets special attention.
