I found myself watching Naruto, and came across the Good All Along trope. This trope happens when, for whatever reason, a character must play the role of a villain in order to do good.

In 2020 I decided I would start reading graphic novels. I was hesitant at first because I knew very little about comics/graphic novels beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and navigating decades of superhero comics seemed overwhelming. Plus, superheroes have never been my go-to for reading material. I’ve always preferred high fantasy stories about monsters and elves. My first experience with Marvel was on screen, and I had little interest in exploring the comics that inspired those movies. That changed when I came across other bloggers talking about graphic novels, and I started to get curious. I decided to take the plunge by starting with Monstress by Marjoie Liu and Sana Takeda. I’ve since read or started 4 other stories. I’ve learned a lot since I first picked up Monstress with no idea what I was getting into, so I’ve decided to share what I’ve learned about how to start reading graphic novels.

When I first heard about The StoryGraph I was ecstatic. Goodreads never really worked for me. It was ugly and felt like a chore to keep organized. Finally, I had a new platform with built-in statistics and filters to help me track my reading without all the hassle.
