Whatever would dark about a man who is forever stuck alone in a room, doing a job that could be easily replaced by a computer, not being valued for his efforts, rarely smiling and having attempted suicide at least once? /s

Es ist immer Femjungen-Freitag :3

Anyone have the art without the screenshot? Asking for … myself.

Ohh, they can bite alright. Its rare, but they can definetly bite.

I choose you, Pikachu!

This fits my current situation just perfectly lol

Dead Men Walking.

…yet

Off topic, but good taste with bookworm! Praise be to the gods!

Would you be wiilling to share the file? I’m considering 3D-Printing one.

At this point? The frog is broken, can’t fix that. Maybe get a new one?

Yeah, its one of thr better ones. Probably because the isekai aspect was an afterthought to the author and wasn’t added to the story because it is popular but because it was necessary. It made sense. And this trend continues. Things happen because they make sense, not because of some trend or something.

Not sure if it’s less known, given it has been adapted into 3 seasons of anime, with a 4th in the making. But I never met anyone who knew about it outside of fan-communities.

Ascendance of a Bookworm Bookworm Urano died shortly before she was able to fuffil her dream of becoming a librarian. Buried by her own books, ironically enough. She gets reborn as Myne, a sickly child in a medieval-era world where books are a rarity reserved for nobles and some rich merchants.

Being the obsessed bookworm she is, Urano, now Myne, sets out to create her own books no matter what.

The series shines with heavy, but rarely boring or intrusive world building. From the home of Mynes family, the forrest, the city, up to the nobles quarters and other duchies, the world keeps on expanding. Characters are rarely, if ever, one-dimensional. They have their own motivations that go beyond plot conveniences. The cast of characters is also shifting every once in a while, with most characters never truly disappearing out of sight and progressing on their own still. Storywise, its a mix of wholesome, yet dark fantasy with excursions into the development of printing and other technologies in our world. Mist stoeybeats get sprinkled with a little bit of natural humor.

The LN is at book 29(?), so there is a lot to dive into. Believe me when I say that my description has barely scratched the surface. The anime has finished the contents book 7 and is very faithful to the source. Rarely cutting material, but often shortening some beats or mentioning them in little shorts that play after tje credits. If you wish to get a feel for the story overall, the first few episodes of the anime will do that just fine.

If you wanna selfhost your own solution, I can recommend Audiobookshelf. It scraps metadata from Apple, Amazon, Google etc, tracks on a per-user basis at what point in the book you are, can be used in a browser and has an android app. It’s easy to set up with Docker too. You can even add PDFs and epubs to the books.

Been using it for a few months and it has been great.

As for sourcing of audiobooks, aside from torrents there are also audiobb.com & audiobooksbee.com . They use RapidGator as host for a ddl.

I found a whole bunch in a place I never thought to look: e-hentai.org Just look for the tag “artbook” and you already find a bunch. Or look for something more specific. Yes, you will have porn in between. Yes, its just the images without text embedded etc. But it’s a decent source.

Basically, the repo for the extensions has been nuked by DMCAs. You can switch to a repo hosted by a third party to bypass it. I’m not gonna link one here because I have not looked deep into who’s a good host. But you should be able to find one with some searching.

Tachiyomi also released a statement here.

Legacy was the only one I personally got to enjoy, but I very much enjoyed watching Borg as well as Elite Force 1&2.

It was humans under the command of aliens.
