I haven’t watched 기리고 in a while. I liked the first episode, and found the second one even better. I liked that the episode worked in two directions: showing deeper layers of the characters relationship while quickening the pace of the story and diving more into horror. But I found the third episode rather boring, it’s mostly classic horror stuff, not really scary to me, and I was also kind of annoyed that situations happen because of weird lack of communication (하준‘s sister should have told 세아 what she would have to deal with - I know she couldn’t know the extend of the trauma 세아 had gone through that could be used against her, but they could have talked about it, or the shaman could have warned her the demon will try to use her memories and weaknesses to create illusions, or just simply tell her more than just “pass through three doors”. The last trial was really good though!).
So since episode 3, I’ve been less motivated to continue the series, but I won’t give up just yet.

Working on the blog display and post headers is taking much more time than I thought. And I’m so sleepy too, I’m not making good decisions I feel like. I’ll probably continue working on this during the weekend.

This book is incredibly good!!!! I loved it so so much!!
It’s not a found footage per se, but it does have a lot of found footage elements with other media that work better in books than film like mails and forum discussions. The setting is very classic, just your typical strange things happening in a building, but it’s so well done. I love the horror genre, but I’m not easily scared and most of the time, I end up being disappointed by the horror fiction I read or watch. I guess that the more you consume this genre, the less impressed you’re bound to be. But this book was so well executed: it has a good variety of “media” sometimes we follow the main characters, sometimes we watch or read past documents. It has extremely good and scary scenes, like the kind that really sends chills down your spine. Reading the book really felt like watching a film, it’s well written and reads very easily, once you started, it’s just impossible to put down. The end was excellent too.

I thought I would continue 죽은 집에 관한 기록 today because I didn’t touch it yesterday, and just like that I finished it. This is the definition of a page-turner!

Chapter 6 read!

I started Varka SQ and I loved the beginning: lore impactful, but sounds intriguing with a good plot. And a lot of characters too! I’ll need to note down some names in Chinese to match with their equivalent in English.
I wanted to play all chapter 1 today, but I won’t have time. Anyway, I’m glad the story looks promising.

I was so sleepy today, but thankfully, chapter 5 was a suspenseful one!

I’m reading Lohen’s skill showcase and anecdote in Chinese, and there’s a passage where he says:

快、准、狠。我的技巧就是这样，不知道你跟不跟得上？

These three adjectives immediately brought me back to 流行蝴蝶剑, I think Gu Long liked to use them in combination to praise a martial art, I remember it because I found it so cool haha.
I found some examples:

够快、够准、够狠的暗器

他武功本和孟星魂是同一路的，又狠，又准，又快

One more reason to pull for Lohen then!
Also 火光炸开，冰晶封路—— So cool!

Lohen teaser is so good… I guess he’s kind of a must-pull now… my plan to save for Snezhnaya has been short-lived…
It would be funny if I get Lohen before Mika, he’s the only 4star I’m missing.

I finished chapter 4, I hope I’ll have time for one or two more chapters today!
