listen i have a LOT of really pretty smut books but i think the one i got in the mail this week takes the cake

[the chromatic fantasy by H.A.]

beautiful spot foil on the front cover plus guilded pages??? hell yes. hes a weighty boy for his size and *feels* incredibly luxurious in ways book nerds are sure to appreciate plus the art is absolutely gorgeous

very soft, sketchy style evocative of like 60s and 70s animation. every bit ive peeped at so far has been gorgeous but not super tightly cleaned like a lot of modern comics, so it feels really organic and raw, even at a glance. vvv refreshing

i preordered on a whim back in like, march when the announcement from @silversprocket crossed my feed and i have Zero regerts. i cannot wait to dive in and actually read it

#mochi rambles #mochi's bookshelf #is this a review??? #i guess sort of huh #like i am incredibly easy to please so just cos i like something does not mean its some perfect product #but damn for a small pub title from a company AND author i had never heard of i am *impressed* #like its a perfect bound paperback the binding is basically the same as any others i have #but the design choices like the spot foil and guilding is just #clenches fist #so good for the art and story concept #and the paper weight and manu were both obviously chosen with care for the final product #like my only complaint is that my copy arrived a bit dinged up #but the box was a little crunched too so im sure it happened durring shipping #it happens nbd #but man i am like three seconds away from ordering a bunch more from silver sprocket now that i have a feel for em #if i can stop fondling the chromatic fantasy lmao
