My Creator Appreciation

On every year’s day 1, I make a list of the things I’ve really enjoyed last year, including books, comics, movies, television, documentaries, reality shows, albums, agricultural products, useful items, delicious food, software, websites… you can find it here: yearly best.

Because this article is too late for Blaugust, I’ve listed them all together, haha.

Many of the works in it are from Japan, Europe(I read mostly Poland, France, UK, Portugal), USA, thanks to China’s subtitling groups and publishers.

I’m actually a bit like a hunter, one loves to go out and search. When I enter a new field, I dig around and find out what really hits me. I wonder what you’ll think after reading the lists above. Interesting? Complex? Or maybe a little curious about me, haha.

Over time, I found myself becoming quite difficult to move, since I had been so deeply moved before, the new can rarely reach that scale. I am not a game guy, I only tried playing Black Myth: Wukong, but my skills were too poor, so I gave up. However, I still finished the entire story and was deeply moved. Games are another huge world
