So I've been a fantasy reader who always listens to music while reading, but I'll be honest — I've never been fully happy with what's out there. Most reading playlists feel too generic, and the "focus music" ones get old after a few sessions. They're great for studying but they don't really pull you deeper into the world you're reading.
What I actually wanted was something closer to a cinematic experience — music that follows the emotional arc of the chapter itself, not just a vibe to study to.
So I made it myself.
I designed an original soundtrack specifically for reading ACOTAR Chapter 1. Not background noise — an actual score, with sound design elements built around what's happening in the chapter. The hunt, the wolf, the moment she realizes what she's done. The full thing is on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/i4V812R2O9s
My plan is to do this chapter by chapter for the whole book.
I'd genuinely love brutal honest feedback from this community before I go further. Did it capture the atmosphere? Is this something you'd actually use while reading? What would you change?
