Attorney Woo exceeds expectations. I was planning to watch one episode and figured that would probably be it and instead we binged all the available episodes one night. I'm sooo excited for you to watch Again My Life. It had me screeching.

Still can't get over the whole filming aesthetic - so pretty 🤗 I saw you commenting on making an apartment tour, looking forward to that 🥰

The three MXTX books are not related to each other but they’re all xianxia novels. Definitely start with Heaven Official’s Blessing, and don’t forget to check out the manhua and donghua too! The art in the manhua is GORGEOUS and the donghua is so well done. :) I would recommend trying Scum Villain last since it’s more of a parody (of isekai stories).

[@murakamireads]

Are the manhua traditionally published or are they only online?? I hatttteee reading online 😭 my astigmatism says NO when I try

[@rachaelgates3382]

I loved How High We Go it was so good!

"Dekoboko Bittersweet Days" is actually the sequel to "Dekoboko Sugar Days", it's cute so please check it out! If you want more light fluffy cute shonen-ai you should read "Sasaki to Miyano", but I personally love more yaoi with some smut haha. "Grandmaster of Demoninc Cultivation" delivers that in later volumes (the extras are very pleasant), but "Heaven offcial's blessing" is def my baby! I just love them so so much! "Scum villain" is funny isekai parady but I also recommend to read it lastly. I wish I could read them in chinese, they say the translations doesn't even get close to the beauty of the author's writing in the original Have fun! :3 And please watch the anime of these titles as well haha I just never comment at all, but I love watching your content for a few years now, love u

[@murakamireads]

Omg I'll have to look into getting that first volume! Thanks for telling me! I also def prefer some smut in my romances loll but I'm so excited to try out all of MXTX's works!!

[@jenleber1035]

Kate, you have to add the BL korean webseries Semantic error to your list, its based on a Manhwa with the same title and its really cute.

[@murakamireads]

I need to get into webseries/webtoons cause there's SO MANY I want to read but also my astigmatism makes it soooo hard to read on a screen 😭

[@panikiczcock2891]

@@murakamireads the Semantic Error drama is very good, highly recommended

[@yasiakbari3535]

Did you enjoy SKZ concert? 🥰😍

[@murakamireads]

We didn't go:) it got cancelled:) no I'm not ok still:)

[@readingwithursula9706]

I just finished What Moves the Dead! I really enjoyed it although I wish it was longer and she’d done more with it. I found the pronouns super distracting in this one for some reason and it kept pulling me out of the story. I wish she would have just stuck with ‘they’ for the non-binary characters

[@murakamireads]

Omg I had the same feelings!! It wish there had been MORE. also so true about the pronouns I felt like the new language was thrown at us in a very info-dumpy way and then the story wasn't long enough for me to actually be able to grasp it!
