World Domination Checklist Featured Image

Welcome to the World Domination Checklist. Here I chronicle all my goals on my way to total world domination. You gotta start somewhere! To save you some time, I’ve organized each set of goals by theme. Then, each table is sorted alphabetically by achievement.

Books

While I read quite often for grad school, I rarely read books. As a result, I figured I should at least document the handful that I have read.

Creation

One of the things I live about being a creator is creating. After all, I wouldn’t do what I do for any other reason.

Manga

In 2022, I got into manga, and I thought it would be fun to track the series I read. I am also using this opportunity to dabble in fractional ratings and a small amount of justification for the rating.

ChaptersSeriesAuthorRating/10Notes
