Kitchen Princess
Status: Ongoing
Recently I've gotten into Kitchen Princess, and I'm absolutely loving it ૮ >ﻌ< ა! After watching a cooking video that was Kitchen Princess themed, I just knew I had to get my hands on it. I saw the video almost a year ago and just now got into it... yeah, I know. (Side-note: You'll probably notice that I tend to drag my feet when it comes to getting into stuff OR I'll start a million series and not finish them). Currently I have volumes 2, 3, & 4 in my possession. I'm reading volume two rn and it's amazing. I love Najika's character. I feel like I can relate to her in some parts, especially with the struggling to fit in and trying to be happy despite tough situations. I've found myself particularly fond of stories with emotionally strong characters that prevail against all odds or the type of stories where a character thinks they're not attractive and turns out they actually are very much liked and stand out a lot. Idk it's so satisfying. Anyways, I. very. much. dislike. Akane. She literally bullies Najika out of jealousy bc she's close with the twins and is very skilled at baking. She's so petty, and the worst part is that Nakjika didn't realize she was pretending to be her friend until later, like ughhh. I remember when I thought someone was being nice to me only to realize later on they were making fun of me. It's so embarrassing ૮ ◞ ﻌ ◟ ა.
Lost in the Cloud
Status: Completed
I read Lost in the Cloud years ago. I love this bl with all my heart. The symbolizism and psychology of the characters in this story are deep. I enjoy the ways Paskim portrayed the character's feelings and their psyche. I think Paskim did a wonderful job not only portraying their trauma but showing how it affects them. Which is where I feel many stories fall flat. The characters are flawed and so well written. It was wonderful watching Cirrus and Skylar mature and learn from their mistakes. Lost in the Cloud is a story I'll never forget. One thing that made annoyed me though was when people would constantly weigh who was worse (Skylar and Cirrus) and in turn kind of undermine the fact that they both did bad things. Skylar and Cirrus's relationship definetly starts out rocky but blossoms into something beautiful and raw. Something only both of them have. Each other. But, it also showed their individual growth. The way they progressed was so amazing to see. The side characters are amazing as well. Chan Il is the most incredible friend to Skylar. The handling of their trauma is wonderful and greatly appreciated since many stories tend to gloss over trauma as a kind of backstory instead of something that shapes people. I cried, I cried, I cried. Cirrus and Skylar are so important to me. They're so much more than just a stalker and a manipulator. Their story is masterful psychological read, it's heavy. Cirrus and Skylar went through so much but they also slowly rebuild their life again. It shows me that there's life after the pain. I'm so glad they have each other. I acctualy made a friend through this story and it felt invigorating to meet someone who felt the same about LITC. It was especially important bc my friend acctualy related to Cirrus. I'm glad she trusted me enough to share that. Thank you for being my friend Hailey. I feel like I'm repeating myself but I want to make a shrine later on and elaborate and analyze there. So I'll end with this. Lost in the Cloud is an amazing psychological read about friendship, relationships, growth, trauma and so much more. I'll forever love LITC ❤︎ ☁︎클라우드.
