Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 25 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

@@simply_unnamed I refuse to accept any other ending to this book now
No I think in this book it would continue like this: Mr Vlad Drăculea Rouge (I forgot his name, but I think this will work aswell) glimpsed at her violet eye with a stripe of confusion but lust. He slightly brushed against her bald head with his strong dominant alpha thumb. When he took it down Parmigiana Reggiana (forgot her name too) looked deeply into his male orbs “ you don’t like me now, do you, do I disgust you?”. Additionally she hid her magenta coloured eye from him with her bear foot. “No” he answered directly but masculine with his deep male voice since he is a man “you don’t. You adore me. You drive me mad. This..” he pointed between him and me with his strong male muscular veiny hand “this is madness” he barked. “You are madness my little bony fish” he grinned with a erotic tension between him and my bear foot.

I think there's anything wrong if a book is "fanfic-y" as long as it's written well
Huhun Penelope Douglas is gaggin
Yeah, god forbid people cultivate a mood for their story. Soooo amateur to listen to music.
Shaming people isn't cute. You are not any better than other writers because you don't like listening to music. Not every person is you. You call yourselves writers yet you are willing to diminish the accomplishments of your peers because you don't like their methods? Sounds like mean girl behavior to me.
Or fan translators maybe. The guy who TLed "The girl who ate death" had a small playlist he shared.
ah yes "she breathed through her mouth" probably the most normal line in the whole book
✨ _Le sleep apnea_ ✨
she's a fish after all
That's how you know she's special and not like the other girls, who breathe through their noses (and ears). She probably blinks with her eyelids and walks using her feet as well. 😍
Now I'm just imagining that chick from the Twilight movies as Corvina, because she never closed her mouth once through all seven films.
I like how the teacher has that "oh yeah he like fucking students" reputation and school hasn't even bothered like stepping and firing him
Especially when the last student that dated him fucking jumped of the roof
"Stupid Sexy Snape Man is too sexy to fire T^T"
You’d be surprised what schools will just turn their eye from.
tbh, the wrong move isn't the teacher-student relationship, it's the fact people talk about it so loudly (in this book); even irl, if people know that a teacher and a student have a relationship, as long as it's legal and all, they would be more secretive and stuff, not go around and talk about it like chickens
That's probably one of the most realistic things about that book. I remember there was a teacher in my MIDDLE SCHOOL that was reported at least 10 times, only counting the people I knew that reported him. He had been teaching for at the very least 6 years and was still teaching the middle school while I was in highschool

hehe boobily may be my new favorite word
perfect!...why don't we all just start calling them "boobily" novels? and then the description would be exactly what she said in the video: "fan-fictiony writting, poorly written smut scenes, mental health issues and romantization of abusive relationships". That would be perfect, right? And then we can finally have them be separate from regular books in any other genre, and life will finally make sense. Bc they're like 1% (maybe) of fiction books, but somehow have ended up with wayyyy too much media attention.
It's not fair to expect them to be real books, and hold them to that standard. People expect them to have normal writting, spell checking, grammar, realistic characters, a plot, etc... and that's just not typical for Boobly books. We're holding them to a standard which is just unfair... clearly. It's like expecting Shakespeare from a bathroom wall.

Fr like in one of those tik toks that are like,
"Book quotes that make me forget I was reading.
I don’t know quite the problem with quotes like that, but in my opinion they never work because they’re just so extra. Like ugh, pa-lease. Maybe I’m just a cynic. If I were to rewrite it, I’d have to do it in a way where it doesn’t take itself seriously, like:
“Oh, so I’m a siren?” She questioned playfully, batting her eyelashes innocently at him. “What would that make you? Some kind of mad pirate, I presume?”
He laughed in turn, finding himself captivated by her nature. “For you, I would be anything you want,” he said, giving her his trademark wolfish grin.
Her smirk widened. “But would you be able to resist my _terribly tempting_ call? Sirens are nasty creatures, you know. They’ll drag you to the depths of the sea and drop you to the grave without a second thought.”
I'd pay to watch a movie where some wannabe Casanova/Edward Grey knockoff using these "kinky" lines in real-life situations just for the reaction shots of everyone nearby.
Hahaha, that made me laugh so much! Thanks! Also, what does that sentence even mean? Sirens and pirates and what? Plus, neither sirens or pirates are good guys, both tend to kill people.

Don't remember my 15 year old self of writing down a story about one dude saving the world from all sorts of "natural" catastrophes with just the power of his will, later turning into more of a Battle-Shonen Manga but written instead of drawn, while I should be asleep.
I know someone who wrote poetry when they had insomnia. They DID expect it to be weird upon re reading. Imho it's ok to cherry pick the odd nugget when you're writing in a sub optimal state, but there's no reason to keep it all. Not everyone is Kafka (Kafka wrote exclusively in late evening).

Leonidas is what came to my mind
Why did this author romanticize so many red flags??? I'm so boggled, "You chose the wrong man for your first time," NO NO STOP RIGHT THERE
You picked the wrong house, fool!
Preach. I think it’s very sweet that Leonie avoided kinkshaming by acknowledging that every folk has their own stroke and that’s fine, but when does it stop? So much romanticisation of these toxic, manipulative people is rampant throughout literature - everywhere I see mafia stories and toxic werewolf alphas and billionaire playboys, it just gives me the ick. When fiction affects reality, the problem begins. I believe unironically that every book with this romanticisation featured should have a disclaimer at the beginning making it clear for readers that this is FICTIONAL and that people acting like this in real life is not okay.
It's very fishy you might say. 🧐
@@KaiHung-wv3ulLMAO
In the Italian version of "TeenTitansGo" the character "Raven" is called "Corvina". She has violet eyes, a dark personality and magic power/parents.
I believe the protagonist is based on a character from TeenTitansGo.
Actually she's been part of the DC universe since 1980 and is a decent character (although very edgy especially in the beginning)
An author being allergic to the word “said” is an immediate red flag for me. Characters shouldn’t be whispering and murmuring and purring all over the place

It's always the fucking English teacher when it's not the Ethics professor 💀🤣
It's because they're supposedly more charming and persuasive. You know, because they studied language? Also, English teachers tend to be younger (Or at least that's what I noticed where I live). You don't wanna hook up with old Mr. Higgins the math teacher
Now I wanna see a (legal) student-teacher relationship fic/book where the teacher/professor teaches mathematics or physical science and the entire book is just a long painful read of the teacher being blind to literally every advance said student makes and every chapter ends off a cliffhanger only for the next one to be the most anticlimactic scenario they could have possibly thought of. And it’s in the comedy genre.
The Science teacher doesn't have the necessary amount of swag. You can thank/blame the professor from Gilligan's Island.
I would say it's most commonly either the English/Literature professor or art/music/drama teacher as they're usually portrayed as young and so more cool and relatable to the kids (and if I may stereotype for a second, those are likely the subjects that romance authors are more interested in and find romantic). The only romance involving an Ethics professor as a love interest that I've seen is Chidi and Eleanor in The Good Place, and now I hate that they appear in a comparison with this terrible fanfic romance. It'd be ironic and even more hypocritical for an Ethics professor to have a relationship with a student, often in that fictional situation though it's the character's psychiatrist/therapist.
Reading these replies is interesting. I always just assumed it was because we’re authors/writers, meaning English is bound to be one of the subjects we’re good at/enjoy. I didn’t realise it was due to a whole stereotype, but that makes a lot more sense. Mind you out of the bunch of books I’ve read on Wattpad of this teacher x student genre, I remember one being a Calculus teacher and one being a History teacher iirc? Then English, English, I forget but probably English, English, you get the picture. (Don’t ask why I read so many txs books 😇)
I can’t explain why, but ‘the wet slaps of their skins the only sounds in the room’ while they’re in a FOREST and she’s against a TREE just completely sent me

wet slaps of skins is second only to mashing pissers as silliest sex description I've heard
😂😂😂
Also “wet slaps of their skins” is quite possibly the least appealing way of describing sex possible. I’d imagine someone would write that to paint a sex scene as disgusting, not for SMUT

@@devthewidgetThe only one I read was Hopeless when I was 12 at a Jewish overnight summer camp and I was thoroughly horrified and also disappointed. The line I remember most vividly was, “god, he’s even chopping tomatoes effortlessly, is there anything this boy is bad at?!”
I have an idea.
At the end of the book we find out that it was written by Vad. So, even though it was written from the perspective of Corvina, in fact it is all just his experience, his point of view. And that makes me theorise that Corvina... Probably was not a character we saw her to be. She even could never exist.
As far as I understood, he has a sister, who is pretty controlling. Or I even would say a bit crazy and possessive. She even thinks she has a right to kill some of people he loves. And maybe such a behaviour was really traumatic for him, so he got a bit insane. I think, there was a second he turned from just traumatised person to completely ruined - the death of his previous love. After that, everything that was happening, was not completely real.
The first meeting of main characters happens at night, when Vad plays on piano. And maybe, that was never happened. Let me explain. Maybe, he saw Corvina at first some hours before this meeting, when she arrived at the school. However, she didn't notice him, being busy. But for him it didn't matter, because he fell in love with her from the first sigh. She was extremely beautiful for him, that was a real passion appeared in his heart. And even though they didn't even met each other Vad believed, that they should have a romance. Since that second he couldn't forget about this girl. This night, he was not even able to sleep, burning from a big desire to talk to her. And, spending a sleepless night alone with a piano, he maybe fell asleep and had a dream, or maybe had a hallucination that Corvina came to him. That was make no sence because it was deep night, but it happened in his head. And the reason Corvina immediately fell in love with him was that he wanted to imagine it that way.
In common, what I am trying to say is that our main female character was indeed an ordinary student he fell in love. Because of traumatic experience in last relationship he was afraid to actually come up with her and become partners. So, he started to imagine it all, and the figure of Corvina in his mind was not the real girl. It just looked as his new student did, but, since he had no idea what personality she possessed, her character was made up by him as he wished it to be.
Since that moment, let's keep it all in mind and look on situations in the book with new eyes. There are some things that I think, make sence in that case:
1. Remember how everybody was saying main characters have big chemistry? Maybe, the reason to it was that Vad actually behaved very attached to Corvina, obviously liking her. That was a one-side love of his, and everybody probably noticed that.
2. Do you remember the boy that was a reason for Vad's jealousy? Maybe, that was real Corvina's boyfriend. And the fact they are together made him even more possessive about the imagined Corvina.
3. Oh, yes, the possessiveness. I guess, the reason he was like that was the fact, that she was his fantasy. It was a part of him, of his mind, and of course, he didn't want to lose part of his own soul. He was really afraid to lose their love cause of previous experience, and wished to claim, to control this girl completely. So that was not just possessiveness towards another person, but to the last love figure he had in his mind.
4. Also, do you remember how they were in library, and she had no underneath? I guess, that is also because the scenary of them having hot time together was one of his fantasies, which were all perfect. Every piece of them was imagined as he wished that to be. And the reason sometimes Corvina behaves strange was just because he wanted it to be this way.
5. In addition to that, what happened in the car was also his dream. The real Corvina asked him to deliver a letter, and he immediately started to imagine how they will have a ride together. Being in the middle of the rain, alone in the car, he sincerely wished to have her beside him.
6. I think, there is a possibility, that real Corvina did actually have normal parents. The relationship of the female mc and her insane overprotective mother was just a mapping of Vad's and his sister's relationship. Mr Deverill probable needed a girl who is not just the object of his love, but also a person who can completely understand his pain. And the reason Corvina had such a strange mother is this - it was just a projection.
7. Also, I believe that real Corvina had no mental problems. Imagining his love has the same problems hr has (like voices in his head) was nothing but an attempt to cope with his own madness.
8. Also, a tiny, tiny detail that makes sence is that the name Corvina is not only connected with crows, but with a fish. Maybe, Vad didn't know about the second meaning, butin his mind the fact that he understands the sence of this word made him feel like he is really meant to our girl. And that is why he was calling her crow - he really liked that concept.

Imagine Nietzsche or Poe coming back from the dead to see their quotes being used in books like these 💀
Poe would go drink, Nietzsche would have a manic episode. Funnily enough, Poe would have the more Nietzschian response than Nietzsche.

I don’t like when people use “fanfic-like” writing as a criticism, because a lot of fanfic writing is pretty good. I feel like we should just say cringy writing..
as a fanfic reader and writer, i feel to an extent its fair, because, especially on places like wattpad, it seems as though the more popular it is the worse it is. so by default it gets a bad rep. i do agree though, i wish people werent so hard on it because good fanfic writers exist. people have made such genuinely beautiful and well-made fan works, and they shouldnt be taken less seriously simply because they are fanworks.
frr like im not even a genshin fan and i read the most insane well written genshin smut fanfic ever and it was so smutty but it was also so well-written and sad and angsty and was so poetic like even the dirtiest fanfics can have the best writing

wait hang on sorry, as a forensics nerd, THAT'S NOT HOW DEAD BODIES WORK LMFAOOOO
"she died two years ago and then was burned post mortem some time in the last two months, probably to make her harder to identify."
bones. those are bones. that's not a corpse anymore, unless it's been carefully preserved or mummified, and considering the fact that it's in the woods, it seems highly unlikely that the body is just somehow mummified. also, it takes a LOT of effort to identify a body when there's just bones, especially if it's a partial skeleton. here we can assume that this is a full skeleton, and i have no idea how long of a gap there is between the discovery of the body and the identification, but like
even if the pool of potential victims is incredibly small because these are school grounds and there's only a handful of people that go missing, if even that, it would take them for-fucking-ever to even THINK that the corpse belongs to someone that's still alive? jade wouldn't even be on the LIST for potential victims. ain't no way

I personally really dislike smut books, because it feels more like a dramatic p*rn script than a book. I don’t mind sexual scenes in well written books but I noticed that smut books are just terribly written. I guess it’s because these kind of books are meant for people who aren’t used to reading books that often, or just aren’t capable of reading difficult writings or poetic writings.
(Sorry for my bad English)
Same,I can't handle smut books,my friend loves dark romance novels and most of them have smut in it,and I'm sorry but of all of the times she showed me those books the smut scenes are just sex written in a very exagerated way
I agree. Either it's a good book that is well written OR it's some online stories written down that I can scroll through in order to "pleasure myself" fast without even caring about the plot or the quality of writing while not taking it seriously as a story. I don't understand people buying actual pretty books with bad and terrible smut writing in them and then taking it seriously. And then people are even analysing the characters or putting their morals into it by saying some characters are toxic. C'mon: It's porn. No man even would watch a porn with a teacher/student roleplay and then say: "But that's illegal and toxic!".
I couldn't read smut in an actual book either as I dislike romance as a genre in general, but I disagree with your "I guess it's because these kind of books are meant for people who [...] just aren't capable of reading difficult writings or poetic writings." statement. I read both stuff like classic literature and books with more heavy topics, and fanfiction - which sometimes has a genuine plot but is most of the time just smut. It doesn't say anything about someone's intelligence, it's just a preference. This stereotype, combined with that all fanfiction is bad and written by 13yos on Wattpad -- it's not, I've read many genuinely amazing works that interested me more than 'actual' books,, has to stop being perpetuated
16:38 the whole siren/sailor/pirate monologue is 10 times funnier when you remember that corvina is a type of fish 😭😭
BRO THIS IS SO UNDERRATED
Lol
IT COULDVE BEEN SUCH A FUN INTENDED REFERENCE FROM THE WRITER;
ie. this book makes me furious, even being a beginner author it's just so .. arrogant.
It's actually ironic because Corvina is meant to mean a type of bird but is actually a fish, whereas sirens were mythical creatures often misunderstood and represented as beautiful mermaids (half-fish women) but are in fact horrifying deceitful creatures that are half-bird, half-woman. So the unintentional insult comes back around in the end lol. 😂
WHEEEZEE 😂
tiktok has ruined peoples perceptions of what good writing is
I'm lowkey scared of the booktok community because I hear from vids reacting to the books that they recommend that theyre alot like this one and then I also saw a smut creator talking about how she had all of her book covers color coded based on what kind it was and made a whole set where the books are just one solid color to make it descret?? Idk it weirds me out
lol I remember when people said the same about tumblr a decade ago
I hate these super fancy, completely meaningless and often outright wrong descriptions. They're exactly what a 5th grader thinks good writing is. Also, they never fit the tone of the rest of the book, they feel so forced
m yes. i looked up the book on goodreads and somehow it has decent rating compared to some of my favorite books (whos author are like some of the most famous).
ur so pretentious
"I don't like wearing underwear" made me laugh out loud 😂
5:33 Probably a play on the word corvid. Which does not, in fact, mean raven, it is a category of bird that both ravens and crows, among other birds, fall under. Bird nerd here

The most infuriating part of this book is how the author keeps using big words to sound smart but completely misuses them every fucking time
One of the first things I learned long ago was that doing a full head-to-toe description of your characters upon first meeting is bad form. It halts the narrative dead for no real reason and doesn't read well unless you have a high-level grasp of your language and a talent for writing.
Which I don't. 😂
I find, from me, that it's much better to parse that type of information out over the course of several pages organically as they interact with other characters or objects in the environment.
Those are the type of lessons you learn as you do revision work and have test readers giving you feedback.
It would be hilarious if in the scene where she says “actually it’s raven” she instead replied “actually it’s the bony fish”
