Recs on which one to read first

abie June 24, 2024 4:24 am

Hi! If you have some time to spare, could you please take a look at my Want To Read list? If any of the titles are familiar to you, could you recommend which one I should start with? They've been piling up because I haven't been eager to begin them right away, so I've set them aside. I do plan to read them, but I'm unsure which one to start first.
Also, I'd appreciate it if you could share reasons why you recommend them and why I should prioritize starting them this week. Thanks! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

    aesthetics of unpleasantness, tale of the yellow dragon, and global examination.

    i recommend you read the tale of the yellow dragon first as it completed, out of the three.

    When I close my eyes my heart beats is a super short and sweet one, I think it's mostly smut(? I haven't read it in a while) unfortunately I haven't read any of the others on your list sorry!

    I definitely recommend My Guildmate Next Door it’s so cute and it’s currently my favorite manga in my list rn. However, I have noticed that you like to wait until the story is completed to start reading. I think the plot is in it’s early stages so if you’re fine with waiting for chapters I recommend reading it right now.

    I would say if you want to read a complete one: the prequel to [ Work Love Balance ] called [ On or Off ] if you haven't already, but if you have, then than I say one of these:
    - Turning
    - My Guildmate Nextdoor

    I read this a while ago, but “to be or not to be” was in your list and it was SO good!!

    "Drunk In Love" Is a waste of time don't read it.

    thank you! I just read that before replying here (upon seeing your rec) and that's one down from my want to read list. I don't remember why I set aside that one when there's only 3 chapters in its entirety so that's a quick (and good) read!

    and no worries, I understand there's a lot of books in this site so it's understandable that you're not familiar with the other ones in my list (●'◡'●)ノ

    thank you! yup I might have added that to my want to read list because I kept seeing people commenting on that so I got curious.

    thank you! yeah, my waiting for them to complete usually depends on how I feel about the current situation in the story.

    thank you! this is the third time I'm seeing My Guildmate Next Door in this thread, so I'll definitely read this one this week. you guys make me feel that I have to read it asap (ノ≧∇≦)ノ

    ohh I didn't know Work Love Balance is the sequel of On or Off, so I will read that prequel first before reading the sequel one. And as for Turning, I might have discouraged before, by how long the novel is, so I set it aside for now, knowing the plot may still be in its early stages, but there's nothing to lose by trying ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    (just taking down notes so I can go back here again):
    ▸ On or Off - completed
    ▸ Work Love Balance - ongoing - ENG at Ch 24, raws at Ch 30
    ▸ My Guildmate Next Door - ongoing/season-end hiatus. season 1 ended with 50 chapters as per the raws
    ▸ Turning - ongoing - ENG at Ch 31, raws at Ch 35

    thank you! I might have set aside this one before because of how many chapters it has, while I wanted to read something back then was a moderate length (like 70ish chapters) story. will definitely read this one! (≧∀≦)

    (just taking down notes so I can go back here again):
    ▸ to be or not to be - completed with 122 chapters

    Omg not a recommendation but you're such a genius for doing this embarrassedisanunderstatement

    thanks! I was a bit worried that it might reach 3 digits if I won't do something. So I thought I just have to go and read the ones that I'm not waiting to complete first :)

    or maybe it's just my coping mechanism while waiting for the ongoing ones with edging cliffhangers (I'm looking at you, LTIT)

    thank you! noted on that. will prioritize the completed one and then will read the ongoing ones ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    if you don't mind, can I ask why is it a waste of time to read Drunk in Love? sorry I just can't remember why I added this to my list (tho there must be a reason why I wanted to read this)

    (just taking down notes so I can go back here again):
    ▸ Ogus's Law - completed with 141 chapters
    ▸ Global Examination - ongoing - ENG up to Ch 109, raws up to Ch 119
    ▸ The S-Classes That I Raised - ongoing at Ch 141 (both ENG and raw) - pure action (?) not shounen ai nor yaoi
