    *giggles* It's normal! You don't need to apologize over that! When we start arguing, we tend to get a lot into it! >.<

    *giggles* Well, I usually prefer to avoid arguments in the first place... :sweating_profusely::sweating_profusely::sweating_profusely:

    Wait... I argue all the time online... Weird, I always avoid them IRL... :hmm::hmm::hmm:

    Oh well! \(^^)/

    In rl i argue more and arguing isn't a bad things as long as it remain in the domain of politeness (without free and random insult)
    it's not like i go ft2.png when arguing with someone i just try to make my point that's all ^^

    *nod nod* I just tend to avoid complicated things in general IRL, like... Any sort of possible headache.

    On the other hand I jump on Qidian dramas here even when I know most vocal people don't share my view in it... Curious.

    Well, it's best to have no stress inducing things IRL. I certainly avoid it at all possible costs as well. Though when it comes to drama on the internet such as Qidian, I view the threads and post my view.

    Anyways! I read Asian novels because there are some that have good story and have a LOT of chapters! Makes for something enjoyable to read!

    it's not thet i go out there and find people to argue with xD and most of the time in rl i'm not the one who leaves with the headache so... xD
    The dramas with time will expire like they always did so don't worry about that.

    Stress is bad indeed! Headaches are no good! >.<
    Not being the one to get the headache is good~

    Yeah, this one is just lasting more than I'd expect... Oh well, it will die out with time.

    The more people fan the flames, the longer it will last. Nothing much we netizens can do about it IMO besides the parties involved doing things. Then again, some people just love drama.

    Also, if you ever do get into a situation that is stressful, do what I do. Walk away. Good solution that has been used plenty of times.

    Yeah, I guess people love drama... *shrugs*

    Oh, I'm good with avoiding troublesome stuff, the ones I get involved in are just the ones I can't really avoid! >.<

    *nod nod* People like some spice in their life. Good, bad, or just to cause trouble in general.

    The ones you can't avoid, well...all I can say is do your best! *Cheers on Brasca*

    Well, gotta love Asian novels, because you just don't get enough face-slapping in Western ones... (y):whistle:

    Asian novels were written in Asian languages with Asian point of views, culture and believes.

    As a person living on another continent, but having roots in Asia, I feel a sense of connection to my ancestors, namely my grandma and grandpas.

    I speak an Asian language too. Thus when I read Asian names, terms or grammar from mtl, I have a way easier time understanding poor translations.

    Then my lack of hobbies comes into play.

    I pass my boring time by reading escapist novels

    I read it because... well, first of all I'm an asian myself, so I understand the concept or cliche or perspective that might appear. Second, anime and manga. I think that's it.
