    Title claims to be about Korey roasting Merphy when we all know it’s actually just Merphy passively bullying him.

    The one review that used the word anhedonic, it’s actually a great word. Anhedonia is the inability to feel joy, especially as it relates to things that you used to enjoy. It basically describes the numbness that comes from depression, but isn’t exclusive to it. A sort of organic anesthesia for emotions

      Ohh, so kind of the opposite of hedonism? The words feel like they relate ethimologically
      Or I could, you know, just google it...
      Thanks for telling us, btw. I wanted to look the word up but kept watching and forgot lol

      @@maximwb237 Oh yeah, manga is in another category altogether. (Usagi Drop, anyone?) There's a lot of authors in that field actively trying to justify slavery. Creepy. But it gets so much worse. I remember coming across a cool-sounding anime when I was a child of 11 "sailing the high seas" so to speak. "Elfen Lied? So it's a fantasy story with elves? That's cool!"
      It was not cool. That and other interactions with Japanese media left me really sensitive about tonal inconsistency in stories.
      Spoilers (and warning for NSFL) to spare anyone who wants to look into Elfen Lied; It was a rom-com about a pair of cousins taking care of an amnesiac girl they found on the beach, interspersed with scenes of children being brutally tortured and having their limbs ripped off. The author has a thing about girls dying in horrible ways; the same person made Brynhildr in the Darkness.

      @@Hoobastomp Fr manga can be so awesome yet it can also go so low with those kind of stories, Usagi Drop has to be the worst ending I have ever seen in any form of media (and that's saying a lo when I also read Domestic Girlfriend and Prison School), how can you ruin so badly what was such a wholesome plot and make it into basically a grooming story? Like really how do you come up with that ending?
      Elfen Lied I can luckily say that, even tho I did watch it, I was also about 11 years old when I did and I'm now old enough to be able to block it out of my memory, I really can't remember anything about it other than it being really weird.
      Also, the slavery thing you mention is the main reason why I have barely seen or read any form of isekai.

    You two seem to have very different ways of processing information. Makes for interesting videos.

Usually I never leave a book unfinished once I start reading it but that one was just too much.

    I think the point of Monday’s Not Coming (and other books similar to it) being simply written is that they are meant to be accessible to teens going through stuff who aren’t typically readers. They are to help kids through difficult stuff and the kids going through difficult stuff haven’t always had the opportunity or time to learn to read complex writing.

      Do you like sarcasm? Or very dry, British humor in general? Do you mind that the world building is described so viscerally, and yet still manages to just escape anything you can fully picture in your mind's eye? Do you like Doctor Who? Do you mind a main character that loved his boring life up until the start of the story so much that it takes him a couple of books to not be vaguely traumatized by the whiplash of finding himself in space, and not having a home to go back to? If any of those questions repulse you, you might not want to read these books. I get that people hate things being nonsensical for nonsensicalities sake, but so much of it is juxtaposing the MC's old life to the one he's been thrown into, that it makes sense in its own way. *Edit* a word.
