  • @RobynElizabeth28

    From your observations and my general opinion the title of 'Nobody Somebody Anybody' makes me think about the connotations of each word. This idea that she is seen in society as a relative 'nobody', that is intentionally deluding herself to be a 'somebody' in regard to how she would be seen as an EMT in society. The last word and syntax of the whole title and the fact it is diagonal suggests to me Amy's descent into madness. The word 'anybody' evokes a sense of desperation, like when someone falls in the street and people shout about anybody being a doctor or if anyone can help. This comment might be a complete overstretch. But your thoughts made me really dig into what the title might mean. Loved the video Bella, thank you!

    • @g14nn4lol
      @g14nn4lol Рік тому

      I haven’t read the book but i agree with ur take on the ‘nobody’ and ‘somebody’ parts of the title. I think that ‘anybody’ might refer to how the mc would imitate others actions to ground herself in reality, meaning she could be anybody by emulating them if that makes sense

    I started screaming as soon as I saw that you were going to be reading TGCF!!! I have to say that I was initially a little worried that you might not enjoy it cause of Grandmaster. I loved Untamed to bits but didn't vibe with the book but TGCF was a whole different experience. I literally tumbled into love with these characters. Once you learn more about Xie Lian and Hua Cheng's pasts, you get even more attached to the characters. They live in my mind rent free. I'm just so happy to see you fall in love with my comfort characters and book!!! I'm ecstatic that you enjoyed Heaven Official Blessings so much!!!!!

    I am so happy you loved heaven's official blessings. Regarding grandmaster of demonic cultivation - I read it long time ago in broken translation and i can understand how writing can be complicated, but the story itself - I love it. So maybe if you will want you might try reading second part. Maybe you will like it more))

    I’ve never been so tense during a video and so happy at the end! I’m sooooo excited you love Heaven official’s blessing, I’ve only just discovered it myself and couldn’t believe my luck. I read volumes 1 to 4 back to back, watched the anime (which so far covers book 1 and does such a good job) and I’m saving volume 5 to read when volume 6 comes out. So happy you’re on this journey with me, please make videos for the other volumes too because I want to share in your joy!
    Heads up, there’s a lot of Xie Lian’s backstory to come! But if you’re like me and don’t normally enjoy flashbacks in books, don’t worry - I wasn’t bored for a single page.
    Hope you’re having a beautiful evening, thanks for another great video x

Let me present you Wuthering Hights by Emily Brontë: everyone is awful, ranging from a petty little boy being so incredibly annoying I genuinely wished he would die, to a very rich men who made revenge his one and only goal in life and slowly turned everyone around him into crazy husks of humans. Hope you enjoy

    @klatskyn Рік тому +1

    Sometimes books about mental health, where they show and don't tell, are weird to read, but they're really good. I had that experience with The Bell Jar. Reading it was harrowing, but looking back on it, I could see the descent into madness that happened in the way that happens in real life. Kind of insidious until suddenly the person has gone way down the rabbit hole and has no idea how they got there.
    Point is, Nobody Somebody Anybody sounds kind of like that and I'm keen to read it.

    paused the video just to say that: I will totally understand if you don't vibe with HOB because of the translation. I'm Vietnamese - which the language has the similarity with the original one so my reading experiences was INCREDIBLE. Like I thought to myself a million times when I read it 'Omg I'm so glad that I'm Vietnamese'. Then I read the fanfiction 👉🏻👈🏻 of the book on AO3 written in English, yeah it's not the same, even if the authors had done amazing jobs.
    many beauty of the storyline, the dialogue in the book you can only feel when you understand the original language, i believe.

    I didn’t read the novel, but I did watch animation/anime/Donghua, and I love it. I’ll read the novel later because first, I want to finish Grandmaster of demonic cultivation vol 5. 😫 (I’ll admit I didn’t read the novels first. I start with animation/anime/Donghua even tho the censorship annoys me because I want them to kiss 😭, I did understand the story. Then I read the comic/manga because it’s the same as the novel) but damn, at least you didn't like the grandmaster of demonic because vol 5 it's crazy- 🙃🙏🏻 anyways I am glad you liked the novel of heaven official blessing! 💞
