To be honest, I didn’t read that many books in 2023, and I most definitely read less Chinese characters than I did in 2022. That being said, I did get to walk away from most of my reads with thoughts, which is always a good thing. In total, I finished 10 books. It isn’t much, but there were a few others I tried out and simply didn’t make the cut. All reviews contain spoilers to some degree, but for sections where I thought spoilers were unsuitable, I tried to keep it vague. This is because I feel like spoilers shouldn’t take away from the experience of getting to know a story, and if it does, maybe it wasn’t that well-written.
