My Youth Romantic Comedy is Wrong, As I Expected @ comic, Vol. 8 (light novel): Volume 8 (YOUTH ROMANTIC COMEDY WRONG EXPECTED NOVEL SC)

Bought from Amazon vendor since it was cheaper, instead of Book Depository like usual.Most of the book pages were cold to the touch and delicate from the slight damp that had leached into them. All pages were warped into waves. The corners especially and sections of the sides of the cover were fragile enough that wear had already caused them to just rub raw from abrasion, partially peeling the artwork away.These books, though I bought them full price to be new with an understandably expected out of the box factory condition, they were clearly not even in new condition, nor should they have been advertised as so considering the number of them that arrived with some variation of a defect from just lack of appropriate storage.The product is predominaently intact is all I can say and some of them are completely fine, but there is still a clear disrespect for the customer and passing us off as idiots with exaggerated conditions of the items. They will do their job, but if you care for your items and take very good care of them like I do and want them in the condition expected, just don't buy a physical copy directly from the Amazon vendor. It costs money, which they don't seem to appriciate you spending and are actively leaving your items in a neglectful space that is damaging them. It's pathetic and they make you feel pathetic.I'm just hoping that stacking weight on top of the books will at least smooth out the pages over time.
