    Peekaboo~~ I’m looking for a new home... Sadly, it’s kind of hard for me to find one, because I’m a little weird and don’t quite fit in anywhere. >_< I’m a bit of an ubergeek girl, and I’ve done everything from run a WoW guild and D&D games to being part of the online otaku community since roughly 2000, including being the lead admin on the DownloadAnime.org forums from 2003 till it’s death in roughly 2016. I’m also a crazy artist, and do things like spinning, crochet, lampwork glass-making, wirework, chainmaille, steampunk jewelry etc. I’m 41, married, and my special-needs munchkin will be 5 in October. Currently living in California since 2005 (we moved out here for hubby’s job), but “home” will always be New Hampshire, which I miss dearly.

    Welcome to the forum~!

    Ooh~! If you're a fan of yuri, you should join us in the Yuri Garden here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/the-yuri-garden.28548/
    And if you're a fan of BL, there's the Danmei Room here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/danmei-room.1199/

    You're just in time to vote for the winners of the Yuri Garden's annual writing competition, too, if you'd like to.

    Also, if you like psychological novels, can I suggest "Qualia the Purple"? It's a sci-fi based on theories from quantum physics and philosophy.

    Welcome to NUF~! Do you have some favourite genres?

    Hi everyone, I’m Fakhruddins
    I’ll say im fairly new to light/web novel. As for how i started i think its nothing special. About 6 months ago, i started getting hooked on reading manga. One day i found a manga called battle of elementers i think. After around 30 chapters (i think) it turns out that the manga was long dropped so my only choice was to read the novel. It was nothing special but as a first novel, it was good enough for me to be hungry for more. So far i’ve read around probably 15 novels, 20 at most. All of them were either completed or have at least 300 chapters. As for my favourite genre, idk if it is a genre but i think its something like superpowers? What i mean are novels where characters gain magic/powers. Due to this, I mainly read isekai and cultivation novels. For favourite novel thats tough but I’ll say its between two, Release that witch and mushoku tensei. To be honest, the only reason i’m making this forum account is to ask for recommendations. Hehe. Once in a while, i may post a little bit in novel discussions but meh that’s it probably. Anyways since I’m new i’ll need 5 messages to post a new thread. That’s one down, 4 more to go! Hehe

    Hi, I'm cardialgia, but honestly it's a bit longwinded so feel free to call me Kane or any variation of cardialgia.
    I read all sorts of novels, but I like ones that are less cliched, or subvert tropes in interesting ways. Or maybe it's just good writing. Genre/tags don't particularly matter, but I do tend to avoid traditional harem. I'm not much of a bad ending reader - at worst, I prefer bittersweet to happy endings. I'll read all kinds of pairings.
    I've been reading for probably close to four years now, but I haven't used the forum/lists much in that time. I do have a note on my phone with all the titles I want to keep track of since I started reading, and it's been interesting to see how my taste has changed over time.
    This post is so I can hurry up and post links.

    Hello~
    You can call me by Eithne my name has the meaning of "Mother of All Gods" in Ireland ~
    When I do not spend my time reading novels, I cook or ... I sleep of course ~

    The novels I read are usually composed of a love story, it's essential ~
    ~ Feel free to send me your favorites ~

    The novel that I prefer is "Mouikkai Musume" even if I have not finished it yet ~
    Development and the universe I like a lot ~

    I love relaxing or energizing music with a nice melody ~
    If, I do not answer you right now, it would be for two reasons ~
    1: I sleep
    2: I read
    Sorry in advance ~

    Happy to meet you ~

    Um hello .
    You can call me Cats. I have been watching from the shadows for longer than I’d like to admit. As far as reading interests, I have a soft spot for fluff and romance. I particularly dislike harems which annoy the living daylights out of me. Irl you can find me cooking or working out. I give great advice (or maybe I’m just nosy?). Anywhos henlo~ :blobdog:
