Books I've Read
Books with distinctive new ideas, fresh settings •ᴗ• and original concepts; seasoned writing and good storytelling. I personally bought every chapter. This also includes pioneering works of certain genres. Although some aspects may seem clichéd by today's standards, they are still well worth collecting as nostalgic reads. Updated irregularly. If there are books I particularly dislike, I may list them as well, partly as a warning to fellow readers.
