    :blobexpressionless: I can't find anything good to read. I have completed every single good novel (i think) so now I'm bored. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who can't find anything good to read. So what do you guys do? Do you turn off your brain and proceed to read trash or re-read what you have already read?:blobpeek: I just turn off my brain and proceed to read trash.:blobsleepless:

    I think it’s time for you to step out of your comfort zone. Try out a new genre
    because I called this bs
    Switch it up with manga, anime, or game

    Veterans never give up. Veterans share their experiences for the benefit of the rookies and so will I by recommending Surviving the Game as a Barbarian.

    Let me assure you there are no ulterior motives behind this endorsement.

    There's too much back log to run out of stuff to read.

    or if i want something new, I'd choose any seemingly interesting title on the front page and give it a go.

    also, if raws are accessible, I'd continue with just google translate if it's readable enough

    I believe you. So I will try whatever it is that you have recommended. ._. what the heck???!!! Anything that can read is good? What kind of crappy pole choice is that -_- I'm feeling ashamed.

    Manga- Grand Blue (totally about diving)

    Novel- Praise the Orc

    Anime- Mushoku Tensei

    Game- Mario RPGs like Superstar Saga, Partners in Time,......

    I dunno what you like and hate man. So this is random. In order its comedy, korean game fic, grandpa of isekai, Mario games I went back to beat like 5-6 times because I like them that much.

    Maybe try turn based strategies like Heroes of Might and Magic series (personal recs, 3 and 5)?

    Godspeed on your journey for more entertainment.

    I recommend you to a mind bleach.
    the best remedy for me is bury myself in works just so that when I’m bored I’ll find stuff to read.

    I never experience that I cannot find anything good to read.
    Every time I dont find one, I'll search for another to read, either different genre, different type from trash webnovel, fanfic or manga or comic or read again those from years ago.

    If you find a decent novel and finish it, read the author other book although it could be worse it’s still much better than “trash”

    x to doubt
    You sure about that? Ever read all of Fafoo's works? All of Nanasawa Matari's works? All of Yoraikun's translated short novels or one-shots? Every single one-shot with a rating of 4.2+ (yes, I know one shouldn't trust ratings too much, but one-shots are an exception)? Japanese Classic LNs such as Durarara!!, Baccano!, Welcome to the N.H.K., The Monogatari Series, Hyouka, HakoMari, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, Kino no Tabi, etc.?

    If you've read all of this, then I salute to you, if not, go read them. Don't binge them back to back, these aren't mindless CN Cultivation, KR Game system, or JP isekai novels where you can turn your brain off and read. You need to digest them, so it's best to do it slow and steady lest you grow jaded.

    :blobrofl: I haven't really read those novels but I have watched their anime adaptation so.... I don't really think I need to read em. As for novel with 4.2+ rating? I have read most of them but couldn't get past 50 chapter most of the times:blobconfounded:.
    :blobsleepless:why?.
