honestly a lot of criticism about the art and lack of personality regarding the characters are valid, yet i still find it somewhat interesting to read. maybe because it’s still relatively easy to get through despite its flaws?
An absurd premise. There is no such thing as an anti-social or naive novelist like the protag here. Any novel worth reading can only be written by someone with a great ability to communicate and great understanding of humans and society. 0/10.
This is not really about a genius writer, but about normal people getting to deal with eccentric, sociopathic yet deep person. What a struggle! It's also interesting to follow simply because you want to know
whom and why Hibiki smacks next.
It also deals with things like true literature ("большая литература", "боллитра" in Russian, in case my fellow countrymen are reading this) and book editors world.
I contacted time ago the people trasnlating it (like one year ago) and they were translating something else instead. I guess this prokect has low priority on their list and their update it ince in a while. A pity for sure but this is about people translating for us in their free time. The fact that we are getting translations at all is great.
Yeah the speed kinda sucks (specially since there are 5 more volumes around) but it can't be helped.
I'm glad i was able to find this manga again, somehow the name kept eluding itself from my mind. Still it's one of my favorites. Hibiki is someone we love to hate and hate to love and be dang if we don't find her charming despite her many many faults. @Weisst described it best "This is not really about a genius writer, but about normal people getting to deal with eccentric, sociopathic yet deep person"
Hibiki somehow always brings out the worst of many people but in an A##holely way that can be a bit bothersome but at the same time she makes them look into themselves and see themselves for who they are. Is she aware of this? Yes ? No the answer may vary but either way it doesn't stop her calling out people despite of the consequences because she doesn't r eally care. Hibiki is just living her life to how she wants to despite everyone's regard, affecting the people close to her and strangers alike like a nameless typhoon that nobody was aware of until it was too late.
