@celli@octodon.social ahh i feel that! i have also struggled with reading lately, esp full length novels

If it helps I ended up tearing through it at a speed I’d forgotten I could manage—it doesn’t require a ton of close concentration to just wallow in the delightful iddyness of it all and, while there’s some politicking its largely either handwaved or laid out pretty straightforwardly—none of the chinese court drama “okay please remember these twenty peoples names, titles, courtesy names, motivations and relationships to eachother” lmao
