    Bookmarker's Notes

    A super dense and well thought-out commentary / analysis that critiques the conventional execution of suspect genres like A/B/O and how the taboo nature of tags like mpreg can act as the gateway into questioning portrayal of gender through subversion of how such tags are usually written (quote "forced feminisation")...all on Ao3! For free! *cue "Organisation for Transformative Works" in the background*

    Even if reading A/B/O and mpreg is outside of your comfort zone (like it is for mine) this is very worth a read! (and Author-nim is also a very insightful person -- quote "think about why you feel a certain way when reading Ao3 as it will let you learn more about how you think") 🫡 (the subconscious thought that fics not to my taste / not very super quality are not worth thinking about as I read because there is "nothing to learn"...oops)

    Summary

    [Symphony of Sins]

    :A ghost story featured in Dark Exploration Records

    Disaster Management Bureau registration number - 1893PSYA.2015Na33

    A mysterious orchestra composed of musicians with ghost-like appearances. It follows the direction of The Conductor, who holds a baton in one hand and the scales of justice in the other. With an appearance mimicking Themis, the Titan of Justice, The Conductor is blindfolded. The orchestra will play a song to judge your virtue, the more dissonant the sound, the more sin you have accumulated. The more harmonious, the less.

     

    Ryu Jaekwan happened to stumble upon it.

    Summary

    Park Minseong blinked at the group of children before him, four in total are looking around nervously in a tight group while they approach his counter. As part of Daydream’s Security Team he was tasked with guarding the entrance to the basement where the company kept their twilight class darknesses and handing out passes to staff members that had permission.

    These kids… They definitely don’t have permission to be here-

    ────────────

    Soleum and Chief Lizard lost sight of the kids that were just saved from a ghost story, Park Minseong's mama hen instincts were thus triggered.

    Summary

    “Why are the shutters down?” He questioned, his own voice feeling loud and unnatural in the previous near-silence. He glanced around, noting that all the windows were tightly covered, not by mere blinds but actual metal shutters.

    That’s why the lights in the room felt overwhelming. There wasn’t a hint of natural sunlight shining in.

    “Routine lockdown drill,” Park Minseong answered.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    In memory to my future self of the first horror fanfic that made my heart genuinely clench in terror at the incongruity and panic that accompanied the end of each cycle, and the final dream scene. Somehow finishing 60k words of nightmare material must mean something!! Though the lingering fear throughout the entirety of the last chapter, that somehow the anomaly would just pop up again and jump scare in big big big big big big html red text... ;;;
    Source material had enough comedic undertones to feel like I was reading kse lampoon about his overemployment, and the fics I've read so far are more depressing than scary...but salutations to that entire fast thinking sequence with the looming threat of a supernatural being you can only fake control over in dire circumstances that reminds me why I couldn't continue reading kaleidoscope of death!!
    (I swear this is a positive review) (It is just low horror tolerance speaking)
    Content wise, still love D squad found family and MZ kse bullying saheon while losing it 🔥 would've been damn funny if Eun Haje and Park Minseong woke up to hear kse say he drugged them for extra excitement hahahahaha

    Summary

    “I’m okay,” he says in a steady voice. “But I can’t be who you’re looking for.”

    “Who do you think I’m looking for?” Agent Choi asks, voice deathly quiet. “Are you not Kim Soleum?”

    He is.

    But he’s not Kim Soleum in any way that matters.

    He’s not a Kim Soleum that can feel anything. That can do anything. That can be anything, except a shell of what a person should be.

    .

    (Two and a half years after 208, Agent Choi finds Kim Soleum working a dull desk job.)

    Really reminds me of the Wikipedia plot synopsis of Convenience Store Woman..even though I haven't actually read it, this is what I imagine it would look like...
