Holidays are over! Happy New Year!

I didn't get much to read over the holidays, but I finished The Black Company by Glen Cook. The story was interesting but the way it is written made it hard for me to read. Still, going to continue with the trilogy and see if second book is any better in that regard.

Currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. Loving the book. The series just keeps getting better and better.

What about you? What have you been reading or listening?

Mother of Learning

It's a pretty cool Fantasy/Time-Loop webnovel, but it's a bit long..
I am at page 1500 of 2500 and I'm not a particularly fast reader.

Web novels are like that. One of the reason I have strayed away from them. It's a cultivation novel? Or something else?

No, it's more of a classical magic thing (but luckily not Isekai either, although I love that genre if made well). I got it recommended by a friend, who reads lots of web novels.
And even though there is definitly a big focus on him learning and getting stronger, it's actually both pretty well paced and has unique characters and a bit of politics (but not much).

And it's actually the only WN, besides Chrysalis, which I've read a decent amount.

Ah, that sounds different. Will check it out.

How did you like Chysalis?

It was quite good, but it lost somewhere around the 2/3rd mark. I'm not normally a person who can read that much, so I'm not finishing any of those long WNs. And I'm not even sure, whether the story is actually even finished, yet. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't when I read it.
