I would say Scythe is a futuristic "slice of life" 🥁

Loved all the spreads but especially the last one, so creative 🖤 And what you said on "Earthlings" really resonated with me. I've only read her "Convenience store woman" and even though there were many important topics touched, I hated the way the author presents them. Like, for instance, I could relate to MC being childfree, but in that one scene she straight up thinks of unaliving her sister's baby so that it would stop crying. I guess being childfree in a traditional society is controversial enough and there isn't any need to throw in things like that other than for shock value.

Thanks for your review of Earthlings! When people call books "weird" it just makes me wanna read them more, i like the off putting feel some books can give, but i definitely don't like something like how you described that book, I'll take it off my list of books to buy😅

i'm so glad you enjoyed scythe as much as I did! I loved your spreads 🥰

I now feel entirely justified by having no desire at all to read earthlings 😂 I really appreciated you calling it out for being way more than weird. I don't mind sad books or twisted themes, but yeah I agree with what you, it has to end somehow with a bit of hope or I don't want to spend the time reading it. I think I would definitely enjoy scythe!
