Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Game Review

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a perfect example of the pros and cons of a typical Yoshi game experience. ― Even though most Nintendo games are marketed to people of all ages, I have always found Yoshi games, in particular, to be skewed towards a slightly younger demographic. They're usually much simpler than Mario or Zelda games, for example. While that makes them more accessible, I sometimes feel...

Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke ‒ Episode 9

Saved By the Ice Cold Prince's Embrace Chapters 1-19 Manga Review

Despite treading this familiar ground, Saved by the Ice Cold Prince feels fresh. ― Once upon a time, there was a count. He had two daughters, one with his wife and one with a maid. The daughter of the countess was treated with love, affection, and care – probably too much. The maid's daughter, on the other hand, was treated with cruelty and harshness, made to live with her dying mother in a cold atti...
