Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree
Funny but lore-light Elden Ring manga with rare trope restraint; starts rough, improves later, but slow releases hurt. 6.5/10
-
Mickey7 (Mickey 7 #1)
Mickey7 wastes a promising premise with derivative sci-fi, poor world-building, flat characters and major plot holes. Disappointing. 3/10
-
Tangled Up In You (Meant To Be #4)
Tangled Up In You: Disney’s Tangled as a romance book with charming leads but weak plot and the story struggles with its darker themes. 6/10.
-
The Paradise Problem
The Paradise Problem is a romcom that juggles class critique, steamy romance, and tonal shifts. Fun but flawed and morally dubious ending. 7.5/10
-
La Corne des Sables d’Ivoire (Les Aventures du Pyro-Barbare et de Billy #2)
La Corne des Sables d’Ivoire fails as both story and CYOA. No real choices, bloated chapters, recycled jokes, and disappointing writing throughout. 2.5/10
-
Funny Story
Funny Story stumbles through predictable romcom tropes with a thin lead and frustrating drama, but still offers a decent, pretty sweet ride. 6.5/10.
-
The Bobiverse Series (Books 1-3)
The Bobiverse brims with clever ideas, uneven execution, and endless charm. Frustratingly shallow in parts, but still a lovable sci-fi standout. 9/10
-
Schitt’s Creek
Schitt’s Creek fumbles early with jarring characters and tonal awkwardness, but its grounded heart and humour earn it a comforting spot. 8/10
-
The Finlay Donovan Series
Finlay Donovan is a down on her luck single mother who gets thrown into the role of a professional killer. This absurd rom-com promises equal amounts of laughs and thrills but sadly falls short in almost every way as its premise gets stretched out for way too long and turns into very frustrating fast food.

System Collapse (Murderbot Diaries #7)
The Murderbot series is starting to show signs of degeneration as the series is getting longer still without a continuous story to tell. System Collapse is still enjoyable but it clearly suffers from being a full sized novel instead of a short story.
