Soulslike Worlds
Boss doors, bonfire checkpoints and the beautiful cruelty of learning by dying. Patience as a core mechanic — I speak it fluently.

After Dark
This is what I do when I'm not shipping code: I sink long nights into punishing soulslike RPGs, devour grim dark-fantasy manga, and get lost in mythologies deep enough to ship their own appendices.
Scroll the shelf — every card is one obsession, and the shelf grows as new ones join.
Manga
IIWhat I read
Grim Manga Sagas
Ink-black epics where the struggle is the story — colossal swords, doomed causes and panels heavy enough to bend the shelf.
Volumes
Shelves full
Heart
Broken, often

IIIWhere I get lost
Layered Mythologies
Invented languages, bloodlines, maps with burnt corners. If a story ships its own encyclopedia, I'm already living in it.
