But literally a love grenade with shrapnel flying in every direction.
Honestly, it was very interesting though full of holes, just like any Isekai actually.
The BL part of the story failed. The only relationship that worked and felt natural was between the girls, but the boys...
At least Kael, it felt like bullshit and it also felt like the author was conscious of it seeing how they justified it being the game's mechanics.
Objectively: the boy fell on his butt and in love lol.
No reason, no development, no credibility, he just fell on his butt then in love.
The beastman felt somewhat more realistic but a bit rushed, there was a reason for the gratitude, respect and devotion, but there was not enough time nor interactions to fall in love.
Carsen on the other hand had a history with the MC and a fair load of reasons to be obsessed with him. Does it justify the sexual assault though? Nope. There was literally no reason for it to be here aside from satisfying a small part of the audience.
The MC reactions are hilarious and felt way more realistic than most, I liked that.
My autocorrect just refuses their names lol I'm having a hard time writing all this.
Anyway, the plot was good, it was interesting and a lot happened, there was no time to get bored.
But the whole Isekai thing... How MC dreamt of the game (because in the end it was just a dream since his sister had no memories at all) and how the game characters kind of escaped the game and the dream to go in the real world was... Nnnngh, forced to randomly draw a happy ending. It was teased since the beginning and somehow explained with the fate stone but my suspension of disbelief couldn't take any more.
Oh and the bad guy was really forgettable.
The art improved A LOT!
In conclusion , it wasn't fabulous but it wasn't bad a all.
Man A gets to see a glimpse of his coworker B's huge invisible dick, B gets flustered and mentions how he got sexually assaulted because of it; so of course A does what we all want:
blackmails him,
sexually assaults him several times,
gets jealous when old hot friend C appears and TADAAA!
They're magically so in love and fuck and end.
I fucking hate these lazy formats and half-sticky-note-long plots with no morals.
So this is a 14 chapters story about two guys getting together in 1.5chapter, 11 chapters of putting blinding shiny dick in an un-drawn hole and blank part of panel ejaculating everywhere with 1.5 chapter of something happening.
The art was nice (when it was here, huh censorship? Yes I'm looking at you) but it's not enough to make the 10 minutes spent reading this worthy (yes this includes the slow loading of the pages with my limping internet connection).
I think the only way to make it more pointless would be to translate the rare dialogues in hieroglyphs.
It was a cool and sweet story with a unique plot, context and characters.
To think that I almost dropped it because the immersion was ruined at every little commentary from the translator! It would have been a waste.
The story was very okay, the sides were ... Well half of the sides are sex chapters so .. depends on the reader I guess.
I'd still like to thank the author and artist for not drawing the kids having sex though .
Dimitri was a very pitiful and endearing character, the story didn't go the easy way to make him a little love arc that would have minimized the impact of the plot and I loved it, and I hope the technology in their era worked hard on washing machines because his sheets certainly had it hard with his rejection lol.
I had to deal with my parents fucking for my entire childhood, from before I knew what was going on and when I learned it, it didn't even shock me, I just found it unpleasant and still do at +40.
I wonder if my approach of sex would have been different if my parents had the courtesy to not fuck loudly in the same room I was supposed to be sleeping in before I could even understand what they were doing ...
The 2nd couple makes me very uncomfortable and made me remember things I'd rather not.
I ain't no psychiatrist so I can't just stick the "trauma" tag on it, but this being a situation I experienced, I can at least (for me) say that it left a mark, and not a beautiful one if you know what I mean.
And this being turned into some kind of caricature feels gross to me. I skimmed through the comment section and it seems that for once, I'm not the weird one (which somewhat comforts me lol)
But I feel like I would have enjoyed it 100 times better if I actually understood how baseball works.
Still 2 more things prevent me from max rating it:
*The smut
It came out of nowhere for no reason, and season 2 literally starts with a sex scene that didn't even happen chronologically. That wAsnt necessary.
* The whole smell thing.
It seemed important for the plot but gradually disappeared, just to pop here and there in the dialogues but in the end, it was also unnecessary and almost forgotten...
The art was okay, translation too, but this book is, objectively, pretty mid as whole, especially if you don't know a thing about baseball.
It wasn't as well done as* haikyu (anime) where you learn along the terms and rules of volleyball so it was confusing, some might even find it boring.
Ah there's also one thing that disturbs me a lot about school life stories, if anybody could enlighten me I'd be grateful:
Why do these kids live like ADULTS???
Wouldn't be more logic and efficient to just draw and write about adults if you're going to depict the characters as such?
Seeing these 15 yo kids living alone, without any rules, parents and basic safe child environment makes me very uneasy.
And I wasn't deceived lol
This doesn't even deserve the 5.0 it has, it's so amateurish I have no words. Just like this shit that has nothing to say.
Actually this is almost amazing how they managed to fuck everything up.
The art is a fail,
shading is a fail,
(no)plot is a fail,
context is failed too,
the characters are as ugly, disproportionate and stupid as uninteresting,
it starts nowhere and goes nowhere...
this is the epitome of pointless.
Wanting to draw your weird porn fantasies for yourself is okay, but keep it private...











It was funny and interesting between the sex scen- the sex chapt-
The sex series of chapters.
Toooooooo much there were too many, too long and too often, honestly it almost brought my rating to 2/5. Then pizza spawned and it got 2 more * lol
Consequences are once again an urban legend in their world.
