ahah yep, I've seen this one, but I thought it was short so I didn't pick it O_o but it also sounds super special, so I just might xD

 

by the way, the Student's Prince - Arthur isn't super popular there by any chance?:D:D I picked it as "the book another participant (Jochie xD) has completed, but I'm struggling with the popular task much more xD

thanks again and, yes, I'll let you know.

By the way, did you read Flowers and Chocolate? Probably yes, but I think it suits right the task.

Unfortunally, I don't know. I was just looking for the other chocolate one in the thread of BL download novels and found this one. Actually there are more other two if you look for chocolate in the title. Dark chocolate and raspberries and Chocolate spiced omega (this one is part of a serie tho). But I didn't read any of these yet.

Hello there,

Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

I'm sorry, I also have the same struggles as you.

My choice for chara being superpopular is "Steamroller" by Mary Calmes. But is he popular enough?

For "Associate w/ the word 'chocolate'" task, my mind comes into Chocolate Spiced Omega by Susi Hawke. However, is this what the task mean?

Btw I haven't have a fix choice yet...

 

My progress? I'm actually too lazy to open my browser and update my list.

I keep track of my progress, just don't update it here n_n"

Hello

I did not have so much time this month to read for the challenge. Only got to finish one book. I don't know if Inheritance serie by Amelia Faulkner qualify for a character being super popular. The first book is Jack of Thorns. I really liked this series. For something associated with chocolate, I don't know any book. I have only heard about the book Vanlette suggested.

yes! Arthur is super popular of course, he's the prince. But he not the MC. I think the whole story is from Merlin POV

..sorry can't help you there..i am also struggling with those tasks..

Main character being super popular might be found in rockstar/ music/ celebrity related romance or high school.. i think there was a dreamspinner book with popular mc..i saw it long ago but forgot the title..

I'm sorry to bother you and I'm also sorry if this question has already been asked, but would the manga "Ten Count" count as a psychological manga? I was discussing it with a friend and we weren't sure if it would apply to that requirement or not. Thanks in advance!

that's the big question that I wanted to ask the awesome
Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.
.. is the love interest still considered the main character for the challenge? Like in Harry Potter (xD), would Ron & Hermione also be considered main characters or not?. I've been wondering about this one for a while.. ever since I had to disregard like 5 books for "main character wearing suits" one:D

good call!! Highschool & celebrieties.. hm

I also think in Japanese/Korean novels this trope would be more common than in western ones.. I will do some googling tonight:D

Re Hm.. '_' Well, ain't they secondary main characters? It's not like 'supporting' one (in reference to HP, per se, Draco Malfoy).

!!:D that's such such great news!!..^^ I suddenly have so many options for "main character wearing suits now" ahah for some reasons, most books are from uke's POV & most semes are unnaturally fond of suits ahah

 

As a seme yourself, do you have an explanation for that? O_o

For the novel Challenge can you please clarify these-

1.For rivalry task in novel challenge is enemies to lovers falls under that too? i mean they are opposite sides..so i was wondering..

2.About the task "read a novel you judged by the cover" does it mean something in negative sense like "This doesn't look like an appealing book so lets not read it"or something like "the cover picture looks hot so maybe the book would be hot too" or can be anything

3.The task "Read a title by an author you don't know" does it mean a author whose book i never read before or heard about?

4.What would be considered a low rating in 5..like less than 2.50 or 3?

So I was thinking of joining the reading challenge :D But I was wondering if fanfiction was allowed in the novels category or are only published novels allowed?

I have one more question (yes, one more). For the task 22 in the manga challenge (read a light novel), I was wondering if light novels are only asian novels or if any novel is considered a light novel.

Thanks in advance!
