Let me preface this by saying I’m not sure what flair to use as I have never posted on this sub, but I need to tell someone about this. Anyone else would think I’m crazy so hear me out: I have an archnemesis now (this is one sided but that doesn’t make it any less true).

My public library system, which shall not be named, is acquiring the seven seas published danmei novels because public libraries are a backbone of society and know their people.

I borrowed Mistakenly Saving the Villain. It was a little rough at the start because it touches on a lot of heavy topics/triggering content that need to be handled with care and sometimes danmei plays off traumatic content as jokes or simply plot points but I’m happy I kept reading! I liked the first volume and there were multiple points I felt emotional for the main characters. HOWEVER!

I have finished the first volume and I now yearn for the second volume the way the children yearn for the mines. The issue is that the second volume is a new release and it has to be picked up physically/cannot be shipped to my nearest branch. I look up the location and it’s about a half hour drive. I was planning to be in the area this weekend anyways, okay? Okay.

I look up other danmei novels I’ve been meaning to read… same branch. Not just the first volumes, but most of them.

Salted fish? Same branch.
Disabled war god? Same branch.
Stars of chaos? Case file? The wife comes first? I want you, yes YOU, to guess this time where they could possibly be (same branch).

We have a lot of branches, like 30+, so this is odd.

I’m fully CONVINCED there’s another loser office worker in this neighboring city trying to get through their danmei list but they’re being GREEDY. They are now my rival, my enemy, my archnemesis.

It’s only fair I physically go pick up all the books the laws of the library will allow me and check them back in at my library branch. Girl let’s go band for band
