Hey! Your average E.G here presenting this years reviews and break downs of Penana stories! Message me if you wish to have your story reviewed and get constructive criticism! I will tell you how I see it as a writer without rating it, but still recommending it to people all the while.

Do note that I will only read as many chapters as I see fit.

This is a space where I speak about (mostly) physical books I read. Titles vary in origin but are either in English or Filipino. Spoilers abound!

In here, Shruikan will share opinions, insights and reviews of manga and manhwa read both in the past and current time. All the posts/reviews that will be made are of the writer's opinions and perceptions based on creative crititicism.

Hey there! Welcome to E.G’s Reviews where your host, me, reviews all kinds of media based on what I read/see/watch. This can be anything from manga, anime and animation to films/movies, books and TV series. On occasion, I will give e-readers votes that let me know what to watch out of a selection, or you can submit what you’d like to hear my thoughts on in this book!

Hindi ako mahilig magbasa ng libro.

Alam ko ang YA, General fiction, Sci-Fi, Harry Potter, Twilight, Percy Jackson , Perks of Being A Wallflower, 50 Shades of Grey, David Levithan, John Green, Haruki Murakami, Paulo Coelho, Carl Jung, Wattpad, Inkitt, Archive of Our Own, at iba pang nag-o-offer ng mga online (or offline, softbound at hardbound books na nabibili sa murang halaga) at marami akong natutunan. Napag-isipan ko lang ayoko pala ng maraming nababasa na libro dahil parang pare-pareho na lang ang laman. Syempre dahil 'yun ang tunay na buhay, reyalidad na may kaunting exaggeration para mas exciting at para lumawak ang imahinasyon ng mga mambabasa. Ok naman, totoo yun at wala sa isip ko na mang-offend ng readers at writers. Hindi ko ugaling mambasag ng trip ng iba dahil alam ko ang pakiramdam kapag napasok na ng iba ang mga trip mo sa buhay.

Napa-isip lang ako kung mas marami ba akong babasahing libro tatalino ako o magnumukha lang akong tanga at katawa-tawa dahil hindi ko nai-apply sa pang-araw-araw na existence ko dito sa mundo? Paano at saan ko magagamit ang mga nabasa ko? Kanino ko gagamitin? Lalayasan ko ba ang pamilya ko para matupad ang pangarap ko?

Hindi ko naman kailangang gawin 'yun, may tamang oras para dun. (Maling mindset, Tama?)

Maraming paraan, may podcasting, YouTube, mga book reviews online at ibang marami pang iba. Try mo one time para (baka o sana) may ma-discover ka pa na makakabuti para sa sarili mo at mahanap ang purpose mo dito sa mundo habang humihinga ka pa. At maraming ma-encourage na magbasa lalo na 'yung mga hindi nabigyan ng chance na makapag-aral dahil sa maraming dahilan isa na ang kahirapan.

At hindi ko rin naman ie-encourage ang mga 'bata' na gayahin nila kung anuman ang napanood, nabasa o narinig nila dahil may sarili silang pag-iisip at (sana) natuto na sila sa mga pagkakamali ng nauna sa kanila at (sana) makita nila kung ano ang naging epekto ng mga naunang pagkakamali para hindi na pamarisan ng mga sumunod at susunod pa sa kanila para may ibang resulta na (sana) para sa nakabubuti para sa kanila at maging sa marami.

So, yun lang. Napadaan. Random thoughts habang nagbabasa ng libro. 😏😏😏

I personally  really like aikatsu starting from the first series and I'm always waiting for the latest series. That's why, when I heard the news about aikatsu releasing its new series, I was so excited and couldn't wait to watch it. If you want me to review other aikatsu series or other anime, please  comments below what anime should I review next.

Likes good stories, a lot. Want to share what I feel about them and guides someone to the gems I think I saw.

**This is not a means to degrade or hold things up on a pedestal as perfect or absolutely awful, but a way to express my feelings and start discussions with the community. :) Feel free to add your own opinions in the comments!

This is where you can read about all of the reviews that I have gotten for my stories.

Who doesn't love book and film reviews?

The storyline of Tame follows a young man named Kioshi and his demon Nekeo who he has a contract with. The rules between human and demon deals are very clear but the question lingers, what happens when the human and demon start to grow close and form a bond?

Okay not sure this is going to work but since it does count as writing, technically, I figured it couldn't hurt to try posting it here as well. I write reviews involving manga and artwork as well as sometimes visual media. I want to expand the reach to spread word of what I have reviewed. If this is not allowed technically here then I shall remove this ASAP.

A man who lost contact with reality begins to drift through existence as he considers life, death and the meaning of it all.

I've been trying to start writing, but honestly all I have is a hyperactive imagination, no education and honestly no funds to pay for one. This is a condensed version of the first chapter of a story I've been imagining in the past few weeks. I really, really want some critical feedback from you guys because honestly I have no one else to ask for this. Also I'm sorry for any grammatical/structural errors you might find, I've translated this from Portuguese while at work.
