"I was told to read colorless sakurutazakai by someone I know and I expected it to be nice. And I mean, to be honest, it was really nice up to the point where an insane plot test occurred and I did not like it anymore. Read it and find out."

"Like, I kept hoping that the plot twist would make up for it, but, like, it didn't. So firstly, we have the psychotherapist who is Theo. He's the main protagonist and I kinda, generally, kinda hate him because not only does he break his professional boundaries by stalking everyone and he acts like a detective."

"He's just a regular guy with a sharp mind suddenly facing extraordinary danger. What makes Jim relatable? It's his struggle, balancing his logical scientific nature with the mystical chaos around him. We all had moments of doubt or felt out of our depth. Yet Jim keeps going, driven to protect his family and uncover the truth. His journey mirrors those times. We're forced to adapt and push beyond what we thought possible. Then there is Linda, Jim's wife and a brilliant historian."

April 14, 2025 @agrimao_o | feeling "the real in fantasy" through jude duarte from the cruel prince
Click here to reply to @agrimao_o

"Hello. If I had to talk about a relatable character in a fictional world, for me it would be Jude Duart from the Cruel Prince. Jude is a deeply relatable character for a lot of readers because she embodies emotions and struggles that feel very real, even in a fantasy world. Here's why she is relatable. Jude is a motel in a living, magical world where she is constantly reminded she doesn't belong to."

April 14, 2025 @NiTi26 | Not Just Words: When Fictional People Feel Real
Click here to reply to @NiTi26

"You know, some characters doesn't stay on the page and they leave in your head. Walk beside you, whisper when you lost and remind you that you are not alone. For me, it's Charley from the Perks of the Being a Waffle. It's basically quite thoughtful. A little awkward though, but full of heart, so. Or else Elizabeth Bennett, who is bold, smart and real. These characters sticks with us because they show us parts of ourselves. Not perfect, just human."

"And even though she might try for the best outcome, sometimes life just does not work the way that we want it to. But that's okay. Characters like Devi remind us that it's okay to be flawed, and that's what makes them unforgettable. And that's what makes the series so incredible and memorable. Thank you."

April 09, 2025 @viswes_09 | @hits_litsoc Which book ending would you change and why?
Click here to reply to @viswes_09

"Hi everyone. I'm Kirtana from Hindustan University. So to answer this prompt, I changed the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows. The whole 19 Years later epilogue felt like a cheesy, unnecessary fan service. Harry naming his kid Albus Severus? No, that's some next level emotional manipulation. Let us breathe. I'd rather the story ended on a powerful, bittersweet note right after Voldemort's death, leaving the readers with the raw aftermath and not some powerful family picnic on platform 9."

April 08, 2025 @Glitch | Who is the most under appreciated Character in Harry Potter according to you and why?
Click here to reply to @Glitch

"Hedwig is one of the most underrated characters in the Harry Potter franchise. While she may seem just like a pet at once glance, she is so much more than that. She is Harry's first true friend in a world that had shown him only cruelty and neglect. More than a companion, Hedwig is his constant link to the magical world, a quiet, steadfast source of comfort and belonging. During his loneliest times at the Dursleys, she has some truly memorable moments."

Click here to reply to @chinmayip

"Kreacher is a crucially, deeply underappreciated character in the Harry Potter series. Initially introduced as a bitter, muttering house elf loyal to the pure blooded supremacy of the Black family, Kreacher seems little more than a nuisance, echoing the hateful ideologies of his mistress, Sirius Black's mother. But as the story unfolds, we discover that beneath his resentment lies a deep, unwavering love for Regulus Black, the only master who ever treated him with kindness after whose death Kreacher was heartbroken, carrying that loss silently for years."
