>dropping a LN if the first 20 or so chapters
WN? Anyway, I continue reading until I get to a point of conclusion, like the end of an arc.
>>
>>47392240
i have seemingly gotten the supernatural ability to accurately judge a book by it's cover (first 20 WN chapters/first 2 LN chapters)
it's fully based on how ironic it's being, the instant i see "it's just like my heckin' winnies/linnies" i drop unless the author proved himself to not be a bandwagon faggot and has a decently interesting opener

How is this so complicated?
Paradoxically there's so much good stuff that there's zero harm in skipping anything that is not enticing to read from the start, yet so little that once you exhausted all the masterpieces you go back to the 9/10s and below eventually after reading enough.
>>
Anyone know where I can find (fun) beginner/intermediate level L/WNs?
>>
>>47399775
not even memeing, just read the official synopsis of whatever interests you
if you have to pull up a dictionary more than 10 times (names don't count towards this) while reading the synopsis, you aren't ready to read it yet, either anki grind more or start with simple manga

What is moe? Is it an element of desirability? I feel like I recognize moe when I see it. But what makes something moe, what are the qualities that define moe?
Is moe anything that causes affection due to wholesomeness? When old ladies call someone "cute" for helping them, is that analogous to moe? I feel like moe is somehow different than cuteness but somehow similar.
