I don’t know how to edit yet, so the video is over an hour long! Bear with me <3 or just look at my tier list.
Here’s my rating system, my tier list, and some graphs from the StoryGraph app. It helps me track my books and keeps me motivated.
Rating System
S - “I want to personally thank you for writing this.”
A - What a journey!
B - Charmed ;3
C - Enjoyable, but not quite for me.
D - I don’t know what kind of affliction you need to have to like this, but I’m glad I don’t have it.
