I started Thousand Autumns today’s and I’m so confused with all the names, factions and political who who it feels like I’m taking a Chinese history exam but didn’t study at all! Is there an easy way to try and discern what’s happening the main thing I get is Wan Yushi is trying to corrupt(?) Shan Qiao by sorta gaslighting him into thinking he belongs to their sect and to do immoralish stuff?
My current 98% bookshelves of manga but a couple of PJO books that haven’t been banish to beneath my bed (yet)
Looking for the Apothecary Diaries Barnes and Noble Exclusive if any one has it
I know the way I word this sounds super odd, but basically for many manga/light novels/Japanese Novels will often have reference guides for foreigners to understand certain aspects of Japanese culture (ex: honorifics or wordplay or pop culture references) and I’m wondering if it’s the same for books based in the US for example how a book set in a US high school might explain the SATs/ACTs or US holidays and how they’re celebrated (Fourth of July) hope this makes sense
