    Looking for a bl manhua with a uncle and nephew trope

    So it was about a year ago I found a manhua I really liked but the problem is I forgot the name and accidentally cleared out my search history now I cannot find it but I really want to read it!!! Therefore, I will be leaving some description of the manhua and if any of you guys know the name, dooo replllyyy!

    So it's about a guy who is basically the uncle and there was a child who basically was spoon fed but after the uncle brings him over to his house he grows over night. The guy's parents used to have super powers as well as him, he was admitted to a school with children with supers powers. The uncle after seeing him grow suddenly not able to do anything but give his nephew the knowledge of "grown ups" so he ordered a helmet thingy basically should be of with a woman but actually the virtual person who will "teach" him those type of things to do is his uncle, after the 2nd package was delivered they told him the news of that inside the helmet the person was actually his uncle and the package with a girl is actually here. The uncle rushed to open that helmet but the thing was done, the nephew's face hot and red and the uncle becomes nervous and tells him to forget what he saw.

    That's all I remember guysss I'm sorry if there are some mistakes as, but I really want to read what happened after that sooo if you know the names please replyy to this post!!

    Does finding errors put you off buying more of a series?

    Spelling errors I can handle. Poor translations from official licensers are pushing it.

    The worst error for me is seeing characters being mixed up with one another or incorrectly attributed.

    How does it happen? Aren't there supposed to be proofreaders? The only explanation is the proofreaders don't even know what's happening in the story, which should be a requirement of the job. I would assume you cannot properly do that job if you don't know the characters and what point they serve in the story.

    Is it even worth spending money on low quality work? I'm just venting because I've already had to drop 2 series I really liked from Viz and One Peace Books for this exact reason. Now I'm on a new series with a new publisher and these mistakes are still popping up. What do you do?

    How often do you splurge on overpriced books because they're rare?

    Just curious. I've been buying manga/comics (redundant, but you know what I mean) since the early '00s, and one thing I've started bumping in to a lot over the last 10 years or so is books going out of print, sometimes way faster than I expect, and then suddenly skyrocketing in price. It's quite the phenomenon. I also buy video games and movies and whatnot, and while that stuff can happen there, it's really not the same. Books go from $10-25, to OH GOD IT'S $100 NOW!?

    And sometimes, I give in. I won't just do it any 'ol time because something is rare, it's only if I love a series enough, and I've been looking for a while. Sometimes it definitely bites me. For instance, a while back I was trying to finish off my Blade of the Immortal collection, and there were a couple stragglers that were, of course, bizarrely rarer than all the others. After a while I said to hell with it, I want my complete set, and I paid like $60-70 a piece for the last few. Then, in the not too far off future, they announced new collected editions and it was like... welp. Okey dokey then. I'm not too mad though. I love that series, and it's cool having all the original volumes like that.

    Today, I am once again feeling this burn. Such an irresponsible use of money, but damn it all, it was another book I've been seeking for a while, from a series I love. I finally grabbed volume 4 of Spirit Circle... and it cost me a cool $90. Sweet mother of mercy it hurts to type it out!

    I try to do these kinds of purchases pretty rarely, and of course it's not putting me in the hole or anything. It's more just on principle, ya know? That's a BIT much for a book. But, we have all have our dumb shit that we really, really like. And so I'm curious, have any of you made similar purchases? How do YOU justify it? Do you struggle for a while? Try to resist? Misery loves company, so share your pain with me to ease the burden of this overpriced book I just bought :p

    Starting out

    Moved to my own place and started watching anime again after 12 years. And I fell in love with some of the series so much I thought "Why not just start reading manga as well?"

    Joseé & Blue Box are in my native language (Czech) because I want to support the local publisher CREW, in hopes of them bringing more manga over. :) Otherwise I'll collect in English.

    In time I hope to collect all volumes of "Please don't tease me, Miss Nagatoro" and "Insomniacs After School" if I can find a place to buy them in EU. Possibly "My Dress-Up Darling" too.

    I missed a lot of great anime in the 10+ years. And even more great manga. So I'm always open to recommendations. ❤️🙏

    How does this usually work? (Crunchyroll)

    So, I've ordered manga online plenty of times before. However, this time. all of the ones I'm ordering are in stock, except for the first volume of steel ball run, which i'm pre-ordering. Does this mean that all the in stock manga will be shipped normally, and sbr will be shipped when it comes out, or will they all be shipped when sbr comes out(next summer)
