This story went so off the rails it’s hard to even problem solve, what happened here??? You have a guy attempt to bash the FLs head open w a rock, and then the main guy we’re supposed to root for LEAVES HER WITH THE MURDERER, who has murdered her MULTIPLE TIMES, as well as erasing all memories that could protect her from being murdered again. Yeah cool ok.
And sure, just let him live in her house too. Why the fuck not.
Like, i was still trying to mentally grasp the fact the weird age gap and her hesitation w being physical w him seemingly flying out the window halfway thru w zero reasoning when this shit happened.
Idk, this was a real letdown. the art and premise couldve made for a good time, it’s a real shame
Legit i dont even keep track of the plot in this anymore, i just show up for:
1.Geordo
2.Yuri ending they’ll never let happen (i played the switch game, they didnt even have the balls for a true yuri route in that so there’s no hope here ( ╥﹏╥)
I wouldn't use the game as reference lol. The novel was not created by one of otomate's employed writers since the novels were created before the game and was published by a light novel publisher. The rights for main story (novel, manga and anime) is not under otomate/ideal factory's control. Otomate have only controls over the otome game's writing which was done in collaboration with the author. Being the publishers they made the game not Yuri friendly.
Original author was employed by the otomate so they don't have full power and rights over the game writing and well ideal's factory's rigid "no Yuri" policy. Even their more edgy branch, Rejet, does not offer Yuri options as Dramatic create, nitroc and other visual novel company's (forgot the names lmao basically Butterfly chain something otome, etc). Heck even when Otomate bought the rights for HnknA, an otome with over 9+ games and each has a Yuri route, they completely cut the Yuri route when they published Spade no kuni no Alice and tore off everything that made the OG games edgy, interesting and very grey in terms of characters and content.
My point is if you buy an otome that is dev by ideal factory (otomate & rejet). NEVER EXPECT A YURI romance. At best you get girl likes MC but never is reciprocated. A common theme of otomate's game is that the heroine is loved and wanted by everyone lol.
Ohhh shit, i actually didnt know that about otomate, thats a huge bummer they gutted hnkna too, that’s one of my favorite series ;-; also feels odd when one of their self-made series legit has one of the capture targets doing human trafficking but oh well ig fjdjjddj i like otomate games but it is does feel obvious looking back that they purposefully seem to be avoiding yuri, especially in the games where yuri routes wouldve made more sense than some of the routes they did make.
I really hope this series gets a yuri ending outside of the game then, i just dont know if the author is going to really go for it when it feels like the destination is either going to be all the characters hitting on karatina without her realizing forever or an eventual geordo endgame since he’s the one they pair her with most. I like geordo but a yuri ending would be wayyy more interesting to me
That's otomate priorities lmao ~
Cool with extremely questionable LIs and Villains while hell storm rage when it comes to MC's ending romantically with another woman.
Honestly I just hope author makes multiple endings for each of the main characters (male & female) haha
This might just be a me thing, but every time one of these animal transformation webcomics comes out and the fl turns back into a human i’m so bummed… ;w; the pre-transformation friendship/cuteness time is usually more fun to me than the relationship lmao
Also i’m annoyed that legit the ML saw her human form in his dreams and still tried to kill her, despite her VERY OBVIOUS eye color and hair clearly being the same. I get that he’s paranoid, and this type of misunderstanding happens a lot in webcomics, but it just felt kinda unnecessary and annoying, and just made the Lucas seem way better in comparison. Which sucks since w how these webcomics go, there is zero fucking chance Lucas is endgame
This spinoff goes so much harder than it has any right to, god i love this series so much. Even the spinoff is peak. Both the art and the story is so freakin good…
Both the expressions and the art as a whole are so freakin good, i normally dont get that into cooking manga’s but this is just so much fun. All the characters are fun af as well, i hope one day donut knight returns ( ▰˘◡˘▰)
This is the most nuts kidnapping i’ve seen in a manga yet. Yoinkin someone in broad daylight in the middle of town in a giant, easily trackable carriage that is somehow going mach 7 that everyone is looking at is a crazy play.
I dont mind childish fls, but i think they set her up in a way that she clashes with herself half the time. She desperately doesnt want to go to the royal capital for fear of being killed like last life, but doesnt recognize the guy who literally doomed her. One chapter she’s making paper necklaces for everyone, and the next shes using a maid to gather intelligence and pretend to work for the enemy. She switches from acting childish to acting like she’s this mastermind at random moments, and it feels really jarring since theres rarely any setup justifying this drastic switch in character. It kinda just feels like she switches whenever the author needs her to be a certain way for the plot to progress. I’m hoping they manage to get the character a bit more ironed out as she gets older, because rn she just doesnt feel like her own character.
I love the art in this adaptation so much, i wish the newer chapters weren’t squished but thankful regardless its getting translated ;v;
This is legit the same concept and setting as the otome game Varriable Barricade but w a less confident FL and a more convoluted setup. Even the ML archetypes seem somewhat similar so far.
