Welcome to... the first ever Exvulnerum readlog, hosted by none other than your favorite dork of an author, ME. ZULES. 
Let me introduce you to Tamara, who, as a NEW READER, has no account here because she's still in the process of reading Exvulnerum and cannot be exposed to Cresnov.com and all its spoilers until she catches up to the latest updates!!
...Aaand that's it for the first post! I have plenty of Tamara's readlog still left to go!
(Just so it's clear, this is a model readlog, and it doesn't count towards the #TuesdaysToo rewards, hehe. But Tamara IS a real person and a new reader, so give her some appreciation if you like her commentary!)

Let me introduce you to Tamara, who, as a NEW READER, has no account here because she's still in the process of reading Exvulnerum and cannot be exposed to Cresnov.com and all its spoilers until she catches up to the latest updates!!
Tamara was linked to a version of the Exvulnerum website that has no author comments or Disqus comments, so all her comments are completely uninfluenced by any spoilers, aside from the very few images she was exposed to in the special introduction page she was linked to.Tamara said:I neither have been nor am a comic book person, in all honesty. I do enjoy short strips of comics from time to time but I have never been one to commit to a full-length comic which is why my interest was piqued when I was asked to create a readlog of an online comic by the name of “Exvulnerum”. I have never done a readlog and I have also never given a review of a comic in the past so I am indeed very excited to do so. It is rather interesting that the author of the comic is collecting readlogs from its readers; I have always been fascinated by how many people can look at the same thing and see something different so it would be quite an experience to be able to read the comic not just through your own eyes but also through the eyes of others which may see things that you did not see.
Tamara said:The introduction has just the right amount of content to arouse my interest in the comic but does not reveal enough to provide me with an idea of what to expect which makes this all the more exciting. I’m very curious as to what is going to follow so I’ll just go ahead and flip the page now.
Tamara said:The first strip of the comic took me by surprise. When I first read the title of the comic, I certainly had many expectations as to what was to come but it opening with a young male adult dressed in overalls working as a self-described ‘small-time farmer’ pondering one of the world’s most renowned poultry-related riddles wasn’t one of them. Speaking of which, I’m only three sentences into the comic itself and I already have an appreciation for its humour; a pre-established pecking order is nightmare fuel that triggers a flashback of George Orwell’s Animal Farm for me!
Tamara said:I disagree with Evey, he was funny and interesting back then, whenever ‘then’ is supposed to be.
Tamara said:…Well that escalated quickly.
I was waiting for a continuation of the adventures of our particular farm boy and his creatures when all of a sudden, a fiery abyss opens up at his very feet and threatens to swallow him whole? Talk about a minor inconvenience! Well, now the title seems a tad bit more appropriate!
Tamara said:Jesus walked on water but Marta and her mother walk on fire, hah! I would definitely pay to see a spin-off series about our new fire bending avatars. Back to the story, it seems as though this chasm was programmed with a particular target to attack and that just so happens to be Evey while he is simultaneously being ridiculed by a little girl’s scout. Today really isn’t his day.
Tamara said:Bless the local shopkeeper’s wife but screw his daughter and Sergio!
Tamara said:Evey comes up with a solid theory that he won’t be able to see the chasm if he closes his eyes (which is technically the truth) and he succeeds in becoming a triumphant fire bender himself. But why?!
Tamara said:Because it was all in his mind! And I thought I had a vivid imagination! Oh Evey, I don’t think reading until 3am is a strong enough drug to make you hallucinate a gorge filled with fire in public in broad daylight!
Tamara said:Oh. It actually was an illusion as is explained by a mystical creature with a purple aura and the very same outfit I dreamed of having when I was 13. She has that confident badass vibe to her and has only said ten words so far but I love her already.
Tamara said:Evey has all the questions which is convenient because so do we!
Tamara said:Whoever would have thought that curses required guardians? Imagine being a demon and minding your own business when suddenly you’re teleported into the house of a middle-aged man to make sure that he always stubs his pinkie toe against his nightstand and steps in a puddle of water when wearing socks. Fancy that! Okay, I’m getting ahead of myself.
Tamara said:Back to the story and how I appreciate the way Evey reaches for his motor oil while facing the very real fear of having vivid visual and auditory hallucinations in public in broad daylight. Support your local farmers, folks; they have their priorities sorted out!
NEXT READLOG POST: > here >Tamara said:Also, I’m stealing Dzuna’s quote. “Oh, I’m real but I’ve misrepresented myself” should definitely be my new slogan as a socially awkward introvert.
...Aaand that's it for the first post! I have plenty of Tamara's readlog still left to go!
