Nothing to read!!!

I have come to a point in life where I have read everything that has attracted my attention. I marathon'd (let it be known, I coined this word) Somewhere Else Entirely early this morning.

Within the span of 30 hours, I marathon'd:

-Witch Craft Works (such exciting role exchange)
-Tate Yuusha no Nariagari (because the last chapter I read a month ago pissed me off and I want to wash it off with the new chapter)
-Nisekoi (which is getting boring)
-Mushoku Tensei (the light novel)
-Maou Shinmai no Keiyakusha (the manga, such deliciousness)
-Shinigami-sama to 4-nin no Kanojo (such delicious danger)
-Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankei Nai yo ne- (such cute, cute incest)
-Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo (starting to move to an arc that I don't like very much)
-Citrus (beautiful lesbian love between stepsisters)
-Watashi ni xx Shinasai! (don't know why, but I do love this manga, problem is it releases too slowly)
-World Customize Creator (can't complain for its slowness, the mangaka is still drawing it)
-Id: The Greatest Fusion Fantasy (Id is so beautiful and always got mistaken for a girl, but gets angry and uses her overpowered kungfu to beat up everyone who called her a girl - I know she's a he, I don't care)
-Working!! (so funny, and Takanashi looks so beautiful as a girl, too bad nobody's translating it regularly)
-Kangoku Gakuen - Prison School (OMG so funny, I roflmao so many times in the course of the marathon, translate quickly!)

I've been reading and rereading:
-Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There (a good look at what happens when ancient Rome attack modern Japan and got totally owned by helicopters, tanks, artilleries, jetplanes, panzerfaust and plain ol' guns)
-Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (in Korean, and trying to translate it always seems so hard, but it's epic, so epic, my heart leapt just from reading it)

Gate! Tsukuyote New Saga! Appear faster! I got nothing to read now!

Aww shuckz, now I remember. Arifureta! Should be out in a few more hours. What should I do with this lull in action? What must I do to stop myself from screaming "AHHHH!!! I GOT NOTHING TO READ!!!!"

Look into

http://www.anime-planet.com/manga/

it's a site that lets you search say your favorite manga and it will generate a list of recommended mangas with a similar plot lines. I've used the anime side of the site to find new anime to watch and it's been really useful to me

Umm

How do you use that site? I tried but it doesn't seem to work? Do you have to be a member?

I know who I am, I am me, and I like me ^^

I'm not a member either, I

I'm not a member either, I just type in the name of the anime/manga into the search tool and then select what media format you want it to search

Thanks

I know gutenberg, but for some reason, the atmosphere just doesn't appeal to me. Perhaps it's possible that I will find something good, but I can't bring myself to search through the inconvenient search engine. I like space opera, sci fi, or modern people transported into a medieval world with only the clothes on his back and a high school knowledge. Do you by any chance know any book that fits one of the criteria?

As for that anime-world site, I've checked, and maybe because it's new and unknown yet, but the unique mangas that has become my favourite has nothing similar to it. Maybe nobody know enough about it to recommend anything. I'm sure there's plenty of harem recommendation, but I dislike harem because the japanese always made harem MCs such indecisive wimps, except for a few awesome ones, such as Minamoto-kun Monogatari. OMG that was so awesome. Or Arpeggio of Blue Steel, that plenty awesome. Or Kangoku Gakuen, the MC is so manly, none of the indecisive crap that harem mangas like Nisekoi or To Love-ru is laden with. Besides, Kangoku Gakuen is damned funny.

And I just found out. I got the wrong date!!! Arifureta comes out tomorrow! Oh the agony of having nothing to do (ToT)

I might suggest

a few very long fanfics. The first is one by Diane Castle who writes the Alya Whateley stories. While not TG they are about very strong female characters particularly Buffy the Vampire Slayer and a great cast of others. "The League of Extraordinary Women" is a very addictive story combining Five different Universes. http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-26436/DianeCastle+The+League+...

Not being a Buffy fan I held off until desperate for reading material, but when I did finally breakdown I really, really loved it. Even better it is completed although there are spin off stories that are still in active progress.

The next is also fanfic and a Diane story, but it does have TG. The story is Xandra and yes it's a what-if story about a Buffy episode where everyone became their Halloween characters. It is on-going at 54 chapters so far.

http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-28404/DianeCastle+Xendra.htm

If I have to recommend any story, it's Diane's 'The Secret Return of Alex Mack' which is fanfic based off of 'The Secret World of Alex Mack' and in a spin off of her 'League of Extraordinary Women' story. It is crossover heaven with unexpected 'guest stars' left and right as well as really good writing. Sorry, no active TG in this one, but well worth the time. And I do mean a lot of time. At present it is being actively posted twice a week and is at 216 chapters with over a million words.

http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-28614/DianeCastle+The+Secret+...

If you can get into these, I guarantee that you'll be busy for a while. Again I warn you, that they are all very addictive. Oh, I'll read just one more chapter and the next thing you know it's 2pm in the morning and you have to get up in 3 hours. :)

Enjoy!

I read a few of her books on storiesonline. BTW, I also posted stories on storiesonline, non-TG ones. The one with a lot of fans seems to be Vendetta, though I haven't posted anything in storiesonline for awhile. Problem with deadlack, no, not deadlock, deadlack, as in too many things to do and too lazy to do anything

something to read

A book that seems to meet some of the criteria in the comments above would be OUTLANDER, by Diana Gabaldon, available thru Amazon for Kindle, and I think also for the NOOK

Hey! I'm writing as fast as I can!

Real World stuff gets in the way, y'know?

I'm currently reading Paladin's Legacy by Elizabeth Moon (Four thick volumes so far), a sequel (?) to The Deed of Paksenarrion (Baen Books) - a very thick book, even by eBook standards!.

I have the same problem reading, it is certainly a compulsive behaviour. Recently I spent some months re-reading all my Honor Harrington (18 novels) but now I'm looking for something in a lighter vein. War and Peace? Trivia!

Mark Twain's,'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'? That's a modern person in a mediaeval time slip.

Andersonville?

Ovid I'm familiar with, The Professor writes very well and posted on fanfiction.net, but Andersonville is new to me; Author/story site would be useful, Andersonville would be too generic to search for. Having it mentioned in the same sentence as Ovid makes me very interested.

Yours,
