[Series Overview] Renegades trilogy - Marissa Meyer

I finished this series on: November 19, 2019

As I struggled to decide which book series to cover overviews for, it dawned to me that I'd never get started at this rate. It became clear to me that, it's rather unlikely for me to use this blog as my "main" reviewing spot since I have Goodreads for that, and chances of someone miraculously stumbling across this blog out of the countless ones out there, is just rather slim, therefore, I'd put up links to my GR reviews (in English,) and this post would be in Chinese for people who are curious about the series but either aren't comfortable with or just don't prefer reading in English.

Please also note that, sometimes I don't have time to write actual reviews, HOWEVER, I do always put down thoughts when I document my reading status updates, so for GR desktop users, remember to scroll down if it appears to contain little, it'd be under the quotes I liked from that book (when applicable lol;) for mobile app users, remember to switch to "Reading Activity," which would not be the default as "Review" is.

Goodreads Choice Award:第三集入圍Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction(2019)

我第三集心得有簡單帶過,這部的出版資訊經過多次異動,最初就先公佈說會是三部曲,結果變成全一冊,然後又說是二部曲,最後又改回三部曲。出處如果有心情再去撈,但當時是有追蹤所以知道。嘛,就,可以瞭解很難辦,因為就是一個其實蠻連貫的故事,但太長那樣。這資訊先放是因為這是客觀事實,我很激動的評論請往下滑xDDDDD

Series: Unofficial:

這部女主三觀不正我很痛恨,但其他角色蠻okay的,尤其男主、是哪來的天使啦!女主配不上= =" 這部我找到機會就會抱怨一下(喂) 充滿了trope完全不是我怨恨的點喔!我覺得即使老套,排列組合用心一下,很容易討人喜歡的!(客觀來說,論這部在GR上的評比數和分數,它確實算成功擄獲蠻多人心的!)故事很簡單,配角卡司基本上沒有挑惕的地方,我認為它敗,完全敗在人渣女主角!你覺得我用詞太狠了?整個系列,我都在等女主悔過、認錯、尋求諒解,我甚至還抱著希望,想說,也許這是作者的用意,想告訴讀者『犯了錯、透過彌補還是可以挽回一切的』,結果?『將錯就錯、瞞天過海!黑歷史?我能騙多久就騙多久!到我死前都會是一個秘密!』 乾 作者的作品深受低年齡層愛戴,你希望女主被認知為小朋友的『楷模』嗎?

我重新強調,在還沒看到結局之前,就是因為有預設立場『認為女主會有做人起碼該有的良知(承認過錯只是時間問題)』,所以途中並不會覺得這系列有多特別糟糕(同時也沒有覺得特別好看),會失望完全就是因為一直到最後,女主仍然只是個反面教材。她隱瞞了自己參與過的不人道事蹟、因此未負任何該負的責任,還贏得了善良的男主,從此過著幸福快樂的日子。你這是要寫給誰看?讓作奸犯科的人心裡好過一點、覺得他們也有機會嗎?任何對這系列有一丁點的好感,全被這outcome給抹滅了。

也許,作者是想發揚『好人不一定有好報』,確實,莎士比亞的作品裡,人渣通常都過得不亦樂乎嗨翻天,主人翁則是能多慘就多慘。我不曉得這是不是她想走的路線,因為不是的話,老樣子,你寫這樣子到底是要寫給誰?而且,我不能接受的也包括女主還『裝好人』;美國漫畫裡,主角是anti-hero或是straight-up villain的不是沒有,差別在於他們『做自己』!女主真的是虛偽到爆。

我上面真的只講了我覺得最最不okay的地方,應該感覺得出來,我光是想到都很不爽。可以巨細彌遺,像是講我喜歡的部份,只是就結果來說,依它帶給我的最終印象,我不太會想花時間在這上面,所以就先這樣了!

The actual review is, as usual, WIP, but like I said above, getting the post out there first.

The following section, basically a gallery of editions around the world with different book cover art, is largely inspired by treatments of fellow blogger Amethyst, who unfortunately hasn't done those types of blog posts for a while.

Please DO NOT mistaken the following to be all existing editions; I'm only including completed sets with matching designs. All clickable images are linked to respective editions on GR; people, shelving correct editions ain't that hard. Highly recommend accurate shelving. =D


American English | 美式英文


اللغة العربية | Arabic | 阿拉伯文

出版社是在沙烏地阿拉伯,不過作者官網版權就是單列阿拉伯文,所以我就這樣標~(但保留國旗)

русский | Russian | 俄文 (第二版)

俄文本來是用原版封面,但應該沒有出完(只有看到前兩集),後來這版獨一無二的封面,可喜可賀有出齊xDDD(同一家出版社也出同作者的TLC,那個就真的有一個版本差最後一集沒出)。總之,很高興有別的通常版是使用不同封面了~~

Deutsch | German | 德文 (Bücherbüchse Luxus)

德國的正常版... 很詭異的全部都是使用美版第一集封面去做變化囧 結果這個限量的豪華收藏版好個大翻身啊!無書衣,詳請可參考製作方敘述[Bücherbüchse @ Facebook文1][2]。原先以下方鑲嵌代表,後來GR有頁面(點選上方可連到)不過是用立體圖當封面,嘿,上方平面版的可是我這裡獨家的喔(超認真,如果GR的圖換成跟這個一樣,我想我只能慶幸原來真的有人逛我網誌笑死),用各方拍賣網站上找到的照片調整的。(所謂調整就是真的有去調,不是只有剪裁跟動顏色。)

[Books in Books] 本屋の森のあかリ - 磯谷友紀 (Buchhändler-Tagebuch - Yuki Isoya)

You haven't read it wrong! It's a list of written works featured in other works! Originally, this was just going to be included within the series overview blog post I'm writing for the manga series, but as I started working on the post, it became quite huge and at that point I haven't even actually covered much of the first story arc lmao. Figured I'll just separate out the list of featured works and form this post. It will take some time; I hope to provide links to the actual edition the mangaka referenced, which is somewhat challenging, for while they were nicely cited, it would have been loads easier had the ISBNs (when available) been given.

Unlike the [food in books] posts that just featured lists of food and respective quotes, this will NOT be a straightforward, unbiased (lol) list of documentation. All works were nicely referenced in the manga, I feel pretty lame to just type out the exact content without any altercation, plus, it's quite interesting to see works being translated into titles with different meanings, which is what the additional stuff noted by myself is mostly about. xDDD (Also, sometimes the citations only provided the actual books being used, which can be compilations, and not the name of the specific piece themselves; I figured knowing the actual title of the story is quite important, so I'd be prioritizing them.)

* Original Japanese title [romaji]: 本屋の森のあかリ [Honya-no Mori-no Akari]
* Traditional Chinese title: 書香森林的夢想家 (the edition I read)

If you missed the intro, this post is currently WIP.

書單部份得花好一陣子才能列好?雖然日文原版的目錄頁都可在Amazon上提供的試閱查看,但這不見得對中文讀者有幫助,對英文讀者應該更沒幫助了!所以慢慢來列。

  • Vol. 1
    • Mother Goose or the Old Nursery Rhymes by Kate Greenway
      (#1)漫畫中章節名譯為『鵝媽媽』。
    • Dornröschen by Brüder Grimm
      『グリム童話と魔女―魔女裁判とジェンダーの視点から』 by 野口芳子
      ☞ English readers, you'd recognize the subject matter as Sleeping Beauty, but no translated edition of it was listed as reference, only the material written by Yoshiko Noguchi was stated to be used for the chapter. Noguchi's book title indicates it's about Brothers Grimm's version, not the other well known one, La Belle au bois dormant.
      (#2)漫畫中章節名譯為『睡美人』。
    • Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
      (#3)漫畫中章節名譯為『魯賓遜漂流記』。
    • 『永訣の朝』 by 宮沢賢治
      (#4)漫畫中章節名譯為『永別的早晨』。台版漫畫出版期間(2009)似乎沒有正式中譯,不過查到2015年的一本書中有收錄直接譯作『永訣之朝』。
    • David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
      (#5)漫畫中章節名譯為『塊肉餘生錄』。
  • Vol. 2
    • Война́ и миръ / Война и мир by Лев Толстой
      ☞ English readers, you'd recognize this as War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
      (#6)漫畫中章節名譯為『戰爭與和平』。
    • Doctor Dolittle's Garden by Hugh Lofting
      (#7)漫畫中章節名譯為『怪醫杜立德和來自月球的使者』。台版漫畫出版期間(2009)至今似乎沒有正式繁體中譯?日譯為『ドリトル先生と月からの使い』,東立應該是照日譯再譯,所以單照字面上可能反而會找錯書(原文有別集書名含月亮的啦!)雖然沒有正式繁體中譯,倒是有簡體中譯『杜立德医生的花园』就是了。
    • ألف ليلة و ليلة‎
      ☞ English readers, you'd recognize this as One Thousand and One Nights or Arabian Nights. Unsure what flags to use and I hope it won't be offensive; it's meant to indicate of what region it came from and what the place is called nowadays.
      (#8)漫畫中章節名譯為『一千零一夜故事』。日譯為『千夜一夜物語』,東立可能是照日譯再譯,因為感覺常見中譯就是『一千零一夜』,不會特別去加後面的「故事」兩字。
    • 『寒山落木』 by 正岡子規
      (#9)漫畫中章節同名為『寒山落木』。台版漫畫出版期間(2009)至今似乎沒有正式中譯?有查到的話歡迎分享!
    • Sneedronningen / Snedronningen by H.C. Andersen
      ☞ English readers, you'd recognize this as The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen.
      (#10)漫畫中章節名譯為『白雪皇后』。日譯為『雪の女王』,東立有可能是照日譯再自行演繹;因為這部雖然台版有不同譯名,我是不曉得有沒有其他已絕版的台灣正版繁體書翻成『白雪皇后』的啦,目前只有查到一本合集中看似也是用這個名稱(從文摘上判斷),所以覺得這個翻譯名稱絕對不會是多數啦!有看過單一書籍僅這個故事也用這個譯名的人,歡迎分享!查詢的話真的都不是出現該作,個人認為這個翻譯會誤導人,我自己一開始就看錯成白雪公主="= (聲明一下,簡體書目前是有查到一本也用這個翻譯,但我中文要看繁體的謝謝。)其他找到的中譯名稱包含『雪后』(我比較喜歡這個!但我也只找到一本用這名稱?)和『冰雪女王』(這個我比較有煩感,但不是它的錯;要怪就要怪一堆不認真查清事實的人!這個太容易聯想到迪士尼Frozen的中譯了!在想跟我坳說電影就是改編這個童話前,請閉嘴好好去查資料。並不是。不清楚且會讀英文者,歡迎閱讀我在GR上用英文寫關於此事的rant喔wwww)

[Discussions] 台灣漫畫出版及代理的神秘奇妙事 [超真誠的困惑][解答歡迎謝謝] [UPDATED on Dec 8, 2024]

這篇確實是中文喔!
但老樣子因為不曉得到底是怎麼樣的人瀏覽,所以前面是英文www

Whelp, this would be the very first blog post with a title that basically is entirely in Chinese; the post is to sum up some of my observations and confusions regarding to manga publishing (licensed from Japan) in Taiwan. For English readers, it's likely irrelevant to you, so I figured the title probably should be more obviously noticeable to people who actually may be of interest of the subject. I've originally compiled what I found "odd" in my personal Facebook status post, but the more I thought about it, the more bizarre it seemed to me, so I decided to share it on a public platform to see if other people have any idea of why the situation is like that.

For people who don't necessarily understand Chinese, but can deduct info by formatting and partial information (such as ISBN), "民國" is the official way of displaying years in Taiwan, which I personally is now somewhat less familiar with but is what the ISBN site uses. 民國year 108 = 2019.

Formatting, references, and content are still WIP! lol
Would like to eventually provide screenshots of my findings.

(I've Googled the following ISBNs and got no results; the website is built in a way that will not generate unique urls, so the Wayback Machine cannot be used.
Without proof, it'd almost seem like I'm making up those data, which, let's face it, there's not enough time for me to indulge in this kind of meaningless make-believes. o___O)


神困惑,申請ISBN難道可以申請好玩的嗎?申請流程明明:
"出版者可在該書出版前三個月內提出申請。"
&
"申請單填妥後,請連同附件資料(排版定稿之書名頁、版權頁、目次、序或前言影本),以傳真、郵局寄送、親自送件或線上申請方式,向書號中心申請。(請注意:無附件資料將無法辦理)"
後者我怎麼看都是一定要有附件且附件含版權頁,不就代表走到這一步,版權勢必已經拿到了?ISBN碼也拿到了,書卻沒有出,是發生了什麼事?

然後我聲明一下,有心去查的人,可能會感覺我下列例子很針對某個出版社砲轟;事實不是這樣的。

第一,"日本漫畫能在台灣被代理出版成正版繁體中文版"這點,我個人(也希望所有漫畫讀者啦!)是絕對抱有心存感激的!也許對所有的書都該抱著"有出就該偷笑了"的心態,但我因為自己的不才(如果我日文流利,我看原版的就好啦!)在看到一些"不懂為什麼"的事情時,還是會嘴碎的啦!

第二,請切記"愛之深責之切";絕對是因為認為做得到、做得可以更好,才會花時間寫這篇。我不指望出版社真的會有人搜到這篇(開什麼玩笑我是哪根蔥呢xD)但如果有什麼路人知道什麼內幕,歡迎啟蒙無知的我!

第三,舉例全是某出版社,我得先表揚,那是因為該出版社是(就我所知)唯二有好好每本漫畫都乖乖申請ISBN的!其他我幾個常看的出版社有過一套漫畫"本來都ISBN、某集開始變成EAN"或反之,但最常見的是從頭到尾都不弄ISBN。好了,因為申請ISBN所以能在全國新書資訊網查得到;其他出版社沒出續集的例子絕對有,只是他們沒有給機會讓人查得到"ISBN都申請了書卻一直沒出"這種神奇事。如果有個版權查詢網站,請一定要告訴我,也許那樣我可以把這篇整理得看起來不像是要只打擊某間特定的出版社那樣。光佔著版權不出書,如果真的有這種行為,不管是哪間出版社都很欠罵啦!(2020/12/20更新:終於有別間出版社上榜了xD)

第四,全國新書資訊網的"出版年月"欄位,頂多可能是本來"預定"想要出版的年月,但從數據上看起來,比較像是"申請的年月";因為從許多實際上真的已發行的日期比對,很多都比尚未出版的問題續作之"出版年月"還來得晚;就是說,項目比列出的"出版年月"還晚出,這是正常的!但一直沒出,卻又有更多續作持續被申請,那就怪了。更讓我無法體諒的是同作者同出版社,一部還沒代理完畢,卻又開始代理出版另一部作品;如果說跟銷售量有關,同個作者一部作品有這個危機,為什麼會覺得出到一半不出完、跑去出別的,會比較有勝算?如果讀者就是對這作者沒太大興趣,又何必出兩套最後不出完的作品呢?專心地出完一部再說嘛!

格式範例 Formatting Example:
  1. 漫畫日文名稱【台灣正式代理譯名/副標】- 作者名稱(台灣正式代理譯名)
    /出版的最新(後)一冊(該冊出版年月日(YYYY/MM/DD))→日本〖台灣〗
    • 全國新書資訊網查到的額外冊數 其ISBN 其出版年月(民國)
以下是我的困惑清單www(依台灣最近期出版集數排序)
在全國新書資訊網上查得到的ISBN!我好難過呀!

Manga Reading List: Completed Works (First Read during 2010-2019) [UPDATED on Aug 15, 2023]

This is a relocation. I decided to split up my existing >[Manga Reading List]< because it's getting quite long after I stopped removing the completed works: my memory just isn't good enough to remember what I've read. Keep in mind that this is NOT every manga I've read, but at least the ones I remembered to document down when they were still on-going lol.

This list is for completed works that I've finished reading.

This list itself is at the moment incomplete; while I don't think I'll be able to actually list out every completed manga I've read, there're thankfully some works I do remember removing since the original creation of this list (pre-2012), with some newer ones I just haven't had the time to list out. Hopefully I'll be able to take care of those before 2019 ends. xP

The numbering order has nothing to do with my personal preference, it's just for quicker overall series count; I do try to sort them by when I started them, but they aren't always accurate, since I can't remember the precise reading order without previously documenting them down lol.


這其實是從前一個待的論壇複製過來的啦(並非一日之間弄的),
複製過來因為用日誌發真的很難整理囧(看看就好, 完全不用理我)

***

因為很無聊 所以就列出來吧
沒事做的人可以跟我一起討論xDD
排序不定....沒有依名稱或喜愛順位=P 現在決定盡量依開始看的順序來排


* 綠色粗體者表連載期間特別期待下一回/集、或完結時仍處滿意狀態 xD
* 加底線者表部份或整套(有時候莫名奇妙)被列為18X
* 字底淺藍者表時常無奈得看原文、或英文(有找到漢化歡迎分享啦囧)


新設置娛樂用數據統計處w 看過兩部以上作品的作家或團隊列表(此數據2021起不適用)
僅統計此清單上的作品, 所以雖然說CLAMP其實是我個人看過最多部的;
2009年後才看完的作品不多所以不會(還不能)出現w
綜合
複數作品為續作性質
  1. 大海とむ(3部共16冊)
  2. 右京あやね(3部共16冊)
  3. 桜小路かのこ(2部共21冊)
  4. 北川みゆき(2部共13冊)
  5. 桃森ミヨシ(2部共18冊)
  6. 咲坂伊緒(2部共23冊)
  7. 水瀬藍(2部共22冊)
  8. 水波風南(2部共20冊)
  9. 春田なな(2部共22冊)
  10. 山田こもも(2部共5冊)

  3. 霜月かいり(2部共18冊)
  4. 辻田りり子(2部共14冊)
  5. リカチ(2部共24冊)


已完結紀錄兼偶而發牢騷處

  1. LIAR GAME【詐欺遊戲】- 甲斐谷忍(全19冊, 我到現在還很不甘心)
  2. 青空エール【青空吶喊/YELL FOR THE BLUE SKY】- 河原和音 (14-19集日文將就看囧)
    (東立拜託你快點翻譯, 日本都全19集完結了!後來發現東立應該版權至少有拿到第17集,
    實在是個很微妙的數字啊囧>(2015年就敲定的耶!) 就把它出完嘛嗚嗚)

    (當電影翻拍後還沒有擠出個一兩集翻譯, 我想就是東立自己沒打算出不用講了。
    就去看原文的囉w 當然, 如果東立願意超乎期待的生出新書, 我會超開心的啦w
    這部我可能會單獨po; 雖然沒有說太熟, 可是確實會覺得拿來只拍一部電影非常可惜
    如果說只有改拍部分集數(例如說身為一年級生時的情節) 可能不會那麼遺憾
    結果有拍升年級後的部份劇情, 也想當然爾濃縮許多, 就覺得還不如不要。)
  3. 海月姫〜くらげひめ〜【海月姬】- 東村アキコ
    (全17冊=84回。我他嗶的超級困惑, 這樣的作品為什麼會沒有中文版正式代理!?
    還是只是名字差很多所以我沒找到?至少2011以後已讀到30回但因不明原因沒持續,
    2020年初發現有辦法幾乎看完, 所以開始狂追。這部台灣沒有我真的覺得超莫名其妙;
    東立/長鴻/尖端都很適合出這套, 前兩者也有出這作者的書,
    是錯過了最紅的時光就乾脆不代理了嗎?超誇張。)
  4. 5時から9時まで【朝5晚9/From five to nine/戀愛時間5→9】- 相原実貴
    (全16冊=99回。我的感想長期以來最突出的是"由希該跟潤子她妹吧哇哈哈我整個超期待!!")
  5. ストロボ・エッジ【Strobe Edge/閃爍的愛情】- 咲坂伊緒
    (全十冊, 這是少數純戀愛少女漫中
    讓我至少追完後沒有覺得"圈叉三角我為什麼看了啊啊啊"的感覺的作品
    覺得每個人物之間的情誼劇情走向拿捏得很不錯?
    就, 時機很重要啊囧!嗯。講歸講, 這類作品我是不會入手就是了。)
  6. ぬらりひょんの孫【妖怪少爺/百鬼小當家】- 椎橋寬
    (全25冊。漢化"滑瓢之孫"名字比較好認。很心碎的作品因為後面整個失焦。)
  7. あなたに花を捧げましょう【獻愛的花束】- 大海とむ(大海十夢)
    (全四冊; 繼續來個敢看就敢列xDDDD 不幸這作者的作品風格真的很戳中中意點
    普通的好看, 偏短有些可惜, 然後中間有些讓我錯亂xD。
    我以為會來個芳賀家那兩位非親兄妹的老狗血梗說w 沒有反而失望(喂喂))
  8. なみだうさぎ〜制服の片想い〜【淚光小兔〜制服的單戀〜】- 水瀬藍
    (全十冊。這個我應該是有全看完但全忘光囉。
    看資料才想起和下面的蜂蜜初戀同作者, 我看她以後作品我可能不考慮看了。)
  9. ちとせetc.【圍繞千歲的愛】- 吉住渉
    (全七冊。這作者的作品每次看完我都覺得很空虛但還是飛蛾撲火="= 完全不推薦。)
  10. フェティッシュベリー【青澀戀物女】- 亜樹新(亞樹新)
    (全五冊。喜歡這畫風, 但整體無法推薦, 就劇情口味不合。)
  11. S.P.Y〜スイムパラダイスヘヨウコソ〜【歡迎光臨水泳社】- 右京あやね(右京礼音)
    (全二冊。也是個看完讓我覺得白看了的作品。完全不推薦。)
  12. 柊小学校恋愛くらぶ【柊小學戀愛俱樂部】- あづまゆき
    (全七冊=43回。這個其實我看的時候超心虛有罪惡感, 一來是因為這作者本來畫成人漫的吧?
    但年紀比較大的時候終於看完(多年停在27回左右)後, 覺得這樣的作品搞不好是必要的。)
  13. たいようのいえ【太陽之家】- タアモ(TAAMO)
    (全13冊。這個我記得完結時打擊蠻大的(笑)。雖然說具體劇情已經不記得了,
    但倒也沒有"浪費時間的感覺", 就很溫馨癒治就對了。)
  14. 祓魔師な嫁ですが。【祓魔師大嫁光臨】- 風都ノリ
    (全三冊=17回, 長期以來看到的回數是6回, 2020五月有誠意的補整那集單行本的回數然後看完xD
    事實上因為隔太久了然後反正集數不多所以重補了, 就, 很有病的作品xP。)
  15. 異国迷路のクロワーゼ【異國迷宮的十字路口/La croisée dans un labyrinthe étranger】- 武田日向
    (全11回; 作者辭世=/)
  16. ちはやふる【花牌情緣】- 末次由紀
    (全50冊。須藤學長好棒棒嗚嗚嗚嗚嗚!希望名人不會輸~)
  17. BRAVE10 S【真田十勇士S】- 霜月かいり(霜月灰吏)
    (全十冊, 他媽的這是什麼爛結局啊!超慶幸當時沒有在連載期間衝動去買單行本)
  18. 魔女の媚薬【魔女的媚藥】- 大海とむ(大海十夢) (4-5集日文將就看囧)
    (全五冊。這部我應該最早大概2011開始看然後2013夏看到第三冊,
    長鴻是有代理且於2014秋全部出完的!但是家附近的租書店倒了, 且圖書館沒這套,
    所以最後兩冊才於2019夏用日文加減看完。圖書館我有考慮過推薦,
    但發現這作者比較新的一部被退回票了, 所以把名額先用在感覺比較可能會被採納的作品;
    不難看, 但覺得如果對於黑白魔法兩者差異和世界觀有更詳細的描述會感覺比較有深度。)
  19. ジーザス【JESUS/雙面鐵漢/復活殺手JESUS】- 七月鏡一 & 藤原芳秀
    (全13冊, 部分人設okay, 劇情普普。)
  20. JESUS 砂塵航路 - 七月鏡一 & 藤原芳秀
    (全14冊, 這個我幾乎全部看日文的, 可能因此有些無感;
    剛剛才發現原來青文有代理, 但看起來斷頭了。)
  21. BUTTER!!!【BUTTER!!!─熱舞青春─】- ヤマシタトモコ(山下朋子)
    (全六冊。這個我得先表揚東立沒有造成斷頭悲劇!
    最後兩冊出版差了五年, 我當時真的以為這部看不到中文結局了!
    但也因為間隔太長, 老實說最初的熱血對我來說有點忘了Orz
    雖然這樣講, 我還是覺得這部相當適合改拍短日劇或電影啦!)
  22. アオハライド【閃爍的青春】- 咲坂伊緒
    (全13冊, 很抱歉, 不要拿相似的譯名來虎爛別人啦!
    相較於"閃爍的愛情", 咲坂伊緒這次的作品真的讓我看完後罵髒話,
    當然, 這90%原因大概是因為我又是支持了男二(菊池冬馬)的關係。
    總之, 完全覺得白追了看完超空虛。前作其實我也是愛男二的說(安堂拓海)
    喜歡的角色類型連續淚目兩次, 也因此之後這作者的作品我都遠離了。)

[コナパズ] 劇場版「名探偵コナン 紺青の拳」 [Source Material vs. Adaptation]

第一項實施日期:April 11, 2019
最後一項實施日期:May 9, 2019
回歸實施區間:September 26~October 17, 2019

重複出現的聲明:Okay,直接講,《名偵探柯南》手遊「名探偵コナンパズル 盤上の連鎖」(下稱手遊)我根本2025年才開始玩啦!所以這篇網誌的時間明顯往前調是基於其他考量。

所有歷年劇場版活動彙整請參閱一覽表(不含Twitter鑲嵌),那篇會含卡片名稱的文字敘述(這篇大部分已經有出現在Tweet裡了,就不多列了)。
這篇列出手遊為名探偵コナン 紺青の拳(下稱M23)推出的一系列活動,網誌可以標"Source Material vs. Adaptation",自然是因為這還真的有對照,建議讀的時候同時另開前面連結,兩個視窗左右並排看~

雖然我沒有玩到,但還是很慶幸,因為這次活動是確立接下來每部劇場版都有特設活動和卡片的始祖!!手遊雖然偶而會推出致敬原作場景的卡,但更多時候還是原創的卡(paro的佔蠻多的),所以每年至少會有劇場版的能期待,是很不錯的啦~~~❤️
  1. Event(2019/5/9)<小蘭和園子的卡,就現有宣傳資料來說,看起來沒有直接詮釋的,但至少都看得出來是M23的啦!>
  2. Pickup(1)(2019/4/18)<雙人卡期限多一週。京極和基德的卡可以說是對應特報(心得那篇的第3個鑲嵌)的第14~19秒的那個場景~>
  3. Pickup(2)(2019/4/25)<柯南被迫編造出了的身份,是讓手遊首次出現角色圖鑑尚未涵蓋之情形的角色,至於會不會有涵蓋的一天,好像有點難說。至少要被漫畫原作也算成canon才比較有機會?柯南的那張pickup卡是直接出自官方海報(main visual,心得那篇的第1個鑲嵌)(亞瑟的卡也是相同姿勢,看心得那篇的第2個鑲嵌)。有趣的是,亞瑟的卡的名稱直接出現在特報的第30秒~>

[Source Material vs. Adaptation] ハイキュー!! - Character Omissions in ハイパープロジェクション演劇 「ハイキュー!!」

Wow, such a mouthful for the blogpost title!

Basically, this is me giving my two cents on the character omissions (in whatever forms) that happened in the engeki adaptation of the manga ハイキュー!!. I first published this via Wikia/Fandom as I love wikitext, but unfortunately, if there's a way to use it on Blogspot blogs, I'm not yet aware of. I will continue to first format the content there and copy & paste it here; trust me, you'd think switching back and forth between "Compose" and "HTML" on Blogger/Blogspot wouldn't do any damage, but it did; while the "Preview" holds, I'm not even sure the format would actually be kept, so fingers crossed!

P.S.: At the time of this posting, I'm not yet privy to the exact content of production 06 最強の場所チーム, so the stuff that mentions it may not be completely accurate, and will be updated when I'm able to verify.

  • 泉Izumi 行高Yukitaka & 関向Sekimukai 幸治Kōji (production 01)
    The match where they helped out was featured, so technically one can argued that they were "represented", just like, not actually seen lmao. I mean, I get the decision, since I was actually quite surprised that those 2 weren't too relevant later on in the series, but I think it still would have been nice to showcase friends not always having the same interest, and still are friends.
  • 教頭 (name unrevealed?) (production 01)
    The dude with the wig; Daichi replaced his role being the one who got hit. BUT, he was heard "off-screen" reprimanding Noya's outburst, or at least I think it was him, as I don't see why it wouldn't be lol.
  • 成田Narita 一仁Kazuhito & 木下Kinoshita 久志Hisashi (missing from all productions so far)
    "Narita" was referenced in production 01. I'm actually somewhat disappointed about this omission because they did become more relevant later in the series. Chikara replaced Kazuhito in production 05 (likely in 06 as well, sad).
  • 入畑Irihata 伸照Nobuteru & 溝口Mizoguchi 貞幸Sadayuki (productions 01-03, and likely 06)
    I'm sad about not at least including the head coach, since I appreciate decent-behaving adults lol. His speech was largely delivered by Seijoh team members.
  • 滝ノ上Takinoue 祐輔Yūsuke (every production after 01)
    I felt absolutely horrible because I totally get the omission D;. His character type is so similar to Keishin's that it'd just feel repetitive(?), but at the same time I do miss the banter between a duo, rather than just one person doing the talking.
  • 森Mori 行成Yukinari & 内沢Uchizawa 英紀Hidenori (production 01)
    The match with OB was featured, so technically one can argued that they were "represented", just not actually specified who's who. If Mori was name-dropped in production 03 for his role of providing Seijoh's DVD, I missed it.

[コナパズ] 2019年新登場角色列表

First new character introduced on: January 31, 2019
Last new character introduced on: December 19, 2019
Content here compiled on: March 15, 2026

重複出現的聲明:Okay,直接講,《名偵探柯南》手遊「名探偵コナンパズル 盤上の連鎖」(下稱手遊)我根本2025年才開始玩啦!所以這篇網誌的時間明顯往前調是基於其他考量。我原本是想比照「挑戰狀」的作法(單開一頁),結果其實只要仔細想想就會知道當然不適合,因為角色那麼多啊xDDD 開始編輯不久後就發現得拆帖了,一覽表我還是會做(不含Twitter鑲嵌),那篇會含卡片名稱的文字敘述(這篇大部分已經有出現在Tweet裡了,就不多列了)。

列表閱讀說明及注意事項:
  • 不好意思,為減少字數跟排版所需字元數,卡片角色人物名稱僅使用台版繁中翻譯標示。
  • 人物名稱後面的括號數字表手遊中角色圖鑑排列順位。
    • 這一批人物中,角色圖鑑的順序與角色實際登場於手遊的順序明顯有出入者為:《蘇格蘭威士忌(34)》、《茱蒂·斯泰琳(22)》、《上原由衣(47)》、《柯倫(32)》、《香緹(31)》(上述依實際登場的順序排列,看數字就知道亂掉了,前一批最後一個編碼都超過40了);實在不明白用意🙄️。
  • 🤔表雖登場於手遊,至今疑似僅特定場合才得以入手(如狀態更動會更新)。
    • 碰巧這一批‼️全員‼️也都是至今(2026年)還處於「🤔」這情形!因為沒有其他地方適合寫評語,就一起列在這邊:這裡面讓我覺得最打抱不平的就是《茱蒂·斯泰琳(22)》,我真的無法接受啦!早期才熟柯南的人跟這位遠比某些其他常設卡片角色來的熟吧!
  • 我只有挖到11位,網誌設定只露出總數的一半,其餘請點進文章觀看囉~
  • 任何資訊如有誤皆歡迎指正,有疑義亦歡迎討論。下方為列表格式範例。

  • 卡片角色(最初實施截至日期)/獲得方法

2018 Year End Recap

This particular blog post, unlike the rest of its type, does not have the usual first part that documents what was supposedly published here on this blog in 2018, because I literally published nothing; I don't believe I even drafted anything. There are several reasons for this, and while to the (yet-to-be-confirmed) casual blog viewers here, I'm probably this really vague blob of something lmao (since there's hardly any personal info), I'ma share a little to give at least parts of the picture:
  • Had to retire my iPhone 4S at some point after Feburary due to battery health. Not a fun thing to get used to, when the nature of syncing was no longer the same, and couldn't access my iTunes stuff because it's on an even older device that isn't worth upgrading. It was also because of this device-switch that prevented me from accessing my NetGalley ARCs via my phone. I used to be able to cram in some books over time as I commuted back and forth from home to school, and could no longer do so.
  • My MacBook Pro had recurring issue since it was getting old.
  • Walked my commencement ceremony on May 10. For most people like myself, we all still had classes! It was sad in a way that my parents flew all the way to attend, and we barely had time to spend together. When not in class, I was in the Mac Lab taking full advantage, since my device just couldn't handle the workload. That said, the environment there was helpful.
  • You thought I'd be free after the semester ended? Nah, I walked first, and still had classes during Summer semester. Then my school did this rediculous thing, reducing Lab opening hours for Summer, making life hard. Had to borrow my sister's HP, which is even more ancient than my unstable MacBook Pro.
  • One of my classes didn't work out, so I was still in school during Fall. Both my laptop and the HP refused to cooperate not long after the semester started. My laptop did die at one point, and I think the recovery was unable to retrieve my iBooks bookmarks, highlights etc. This likely further contributed to my hiatus here on this blog, because one of the books I read had enough material for [Food in Books] and the data was just all gone so.
  • I know I was still taking advantage of the Lab at least on December 19, because that was the rare moment I actually posted something on my social media. I remember working to the very last day of the semester though. FYI, it wasn't just this blog, I was honestly quiet in 2018 on Facebook, too.
  • Not to be misleading, I did have another hobbie that kept me entertained during this stressful year, I played Hogwarts Mystery.
This very post itself, is, unsurprisingly, actually published in 2021 and backdated. Looking back though, I'm glad everything adds up, as in, it really wasn't like I picked hobbies over my future. I'm able to recount the above because that really was the gist of my life in 2018. Might sound a bit depressing, but the important part is that it's over lol. I did successfully get my diploma, hehe. And that's like the biggest glimpse of myself I ever revealed here on this blog, other than the "About Moi" post, haha.

2018 Reading Challenge

2018 Reading Challenge
Sammm has completed her goal of reading 10 books in 2018!

Anyhow, here comes the second purpose of the post, muahaha. On Goodreads, there's the My Year in Books function they provided that give some statistics, [check out mine for 2018!] (My GR profile is set for GR Users only, so this one, you'd have to login in order to view.) There's also the Goodreads Year in Review, [read mine!] (no GR account required.) I only whipped up the latter after I finished putting together the one for 2019! Really wasn't kidding about being busy.

So what's different here is that I'm going to rank what I've read, but limited to series that concluded or standalones, extras, and compilations published in this year. The amount of books I've read published the same year made it enough for a fun ranking. Ladies and gents, drum roll....!

Note: First books of series represent said entire series. I know the cut-off was the final book, but I believe people are usually more familiar with the cover and title of first installments so.






In case people don't feel like counting, there are 15 series and standalones in total. That said, there's at least 2 series that, as of 2021/4/12, I have yet to have time shelving. The list may eventually be updated. The reason why some have been stacked, is because, 1 per slot made the ranking list lengthy, which in itself isn't too big of a deal, however, I feel bad for the ones closer to the bottom. It really wasn't like "it's the second to the last place"; trust me, certain gaps are super huge. Since it's still not reflecting well enough, I figure grouping what I feel the similar amount of like, would make me feel less guilty, haha. There you have it!

What series concluded or standalone published in 2018 do you like the most? Feel free to share!

[Film Review] 名偵探柯南:零的執行人

First watch: Dec 3, 2018
First rewatch: May 3, 2025
Content first published on: June 28, 2025
Post duplicated here on: May 2, 2026
Written content here updated on: May 3, 2026 (formatting + minor clarification etc.)

名偵探柯南 零的執行人(原文:名探偵コナン ゼロの執行人,下稱M22)

這一部,我本來以為單純「衰小」(等一下解釋)才會讓我看完的當下覺得不怎麼樣,但今(2025)年重刷,真的就還是覺得不怎麼樣。 衰小的原因是(即,不重要的背景解說):我大概是2015年前後就沒有看過柯南劇場版了(因為人住海外)(然後也沒有看原作或動畫),而且長久以來看到的最新一集是M16,之後就脫勾。有次回台灣(具體日期:2018/1/29),我跟我表姐(們)說平次後來好少有出現在劇場版,她們還安慰我說有啊 「最近那部」就有(係指M21),算還可以。

上述對話「相對不久後」(2018對我來說是一個很高壓的一年,真的感覺不太到時光流逝😅,其實已經是年初年尾的時間差了),我要飛回美國,發現飛機上有柯南還開心了一下,結果就是這部M22🙄️ 但好歹寫了個什麼票房最高 我就對它有點期待 然後就真不怎樣🤦🏻‍♀️ 我當時完全不知道安室透是誰,但對他也沒有敵意,唯一的印象就是小五郎被栽贓,其他劇情完全都不記得,就這位安室透莫名其妙重要,全劇終。看不懂我為什麼要寫這個的人,基本上,錯不在M22,我期待看到平次、它本來就不是平次的那部,okay沒問題,但我看完真的無法理解為何可以票房最高(其實就是因為安室透吧,但抱歉我至今補完原作也還是不懂他在紅什麼哈)。


今年重刷,其實基本上有點像是第一次看(我真的只記得我上面寫的那些,具體細節完全不記得),代表最初看完給我的印象真的超級薄弱。重刷後,覺得看完會對日本警方(至少公安警察)很不信任吧我的天啊(已經不記得當時覺得難看的原因是不是這個,但我可以說,現在這是我覺得難看的主要原因)真的是偽證耶!由犯人栽贓就算了,結果是為了要調查才有警方栽贓,這真的超不okay吧囧 大概就這樣。老實說我本來是真的蠻希望重刷後會改觀,但真的還是無感。

(以下新增)不過我還是要說,它是有值得讚美的地方的,別看我前面一直「無感」、「沒印象」,我前面已經直接寫出來了,我自己很清楚2025年重刷時,M22讓我覺得難看的原因,就是因為安室透(降谷零)作為警方但作了偽證這件事情我無法苟同。這點讓我討厭到「想到M22就生氣」😂 看有多嚴重笑死。但2026年決定搬到網誌的時候,當背景重刷(我Netflix有上架的都會這樣啦,不是只有M22),還是要客觀的說,它還是有帶來一些不一樣的... 亮點?劇中的物聯網(Internet of Things, IoT)攻擊,我不太確定首映當年是不是就已經有可能發生,但至少現在來講,好像沒那麼「這怎麼可能發生」。
