For anyone who wasn't part of Old LJ Culture, that stands for Gratuitous Icon Post, i.e. "this post was made solely for the purpose of using this icon."

The awesome [personal profile] sunshine304 made this for me after I wished for a Zhuzhi-lang icon. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ♥

I finished the third and final volume of Scum Villain's Self-Saving System a couple days ago, and keep forgetting to post about it.

Thoughts, with some spoilers )

The adventures of Mushroom Bro!

The art of Shen Qingqiu self-destructing is lovely and very much the kind of thing I'm here for. ;D

Shen Qingqiu has finally been kissed (!!) and his every assumption has been shaken down to the ground.

The System's upgraded but is exactly as helpful as usual.

For a novel that does not include one single vampire, there's been record amounts of blood-drinking.

The brothel girls coming to Shen Qingqiu's rescue was fantastic; possibly my favourite scene in the whole book. A+ problem-solving skills from those ladies, as well as from Shen Qingqiu - and A+ shenaniganry all round!

Rental flying swords is my other favourite thing. What a perfect and delightful little one-line worldbuilding note!

I just finished the first volume of Scum Villain's Self-Saving System and have started the second volume!

Isekai isn't usually my thing, but it turns out that oblivious main characters amassing crushes left and right is exactly what I want from the genre, so it's been a lot of fun so far! Shen Qingqiu has managed to charm and then betray the protagonist, meet a fellow transmigrator, gather a rare mushroom, and vague about his plans for it.

Some of the illustrations are lovely, and the covers definitely are; the bookstore clerk even complimented them as I was checking out.

Has anyone else read it? Come and yell at me about it! I'm pretty thoroughly spoiled, so no worries on that front.
