Ripped to the depressed bisexual, really going through it
I have to say that the best ones are the ones where the villainess is actually villainous. And I don't mean that dumbass "by revealing the cruel truth about these abusive pieces of shit, I'm actually being evil because I'm doing it for my own sake".
If all the people around you are actually cruel and unkind to you, the new cute girl especially likes to bully you for no reason and you've never done anything wrong, then sorry, you're not a villainess and don't belong in this anthology, because you're obviously a heroine.
I don't mind if the "heroine" is actually evil or whatever, but you can't just have this villainess be the nicest dish rag under the sun, with beauty befitting a heroine and act like she's actually in any way villainous. Sorry, no, being studious is actually a classic heroine trait, you're not suddenly evil because you study to be a good queen.
Art team is treating this like a collection of screen caps instead of like a comic :(((. Like I'm so glad your color grading and composition is breathtaking, but what about the pacing of panels, dialogue and chapters bro.
The number of panels this chapter: 57
The plot of this chapter: Characters walk into a room, greet each other, one leaves, gets dressed, they reunite and walk to a party.
I'd actually prefer if we got less shots of mc's sad face and more of the plot moving along. Like I know it sounds like nitpicking, but I'm only saying this because most of the chapters have been like this.
WHAAAAAAT!!! I was kind of on board, because I thought this was where the real story about how difficult it is to be the empress of this dickhead in his dickhead palace starts. You mean to tell me this is almost over??? This entire thing felt like a prologue! I thought all that manipulative asshole shit happened, so that we'd have space for development in their marriage and not that it's just how their story goes. That's sucks, not because the story is bad now or whatever, I still like it, not because it could've been so much better.
Don't write a story about a protagonist reborn into the story of Cinderella, if you're just going to make up a new Cinderella . This literally didn't have to be about Cinderella, or the protag could have actually dealt with the implications of possessing the body of someone abusive. If you're going to change all the good characters into stupid and sloppy characters, and all the evil characters into secretly wise and virtuous characters, then you're not writing about Cinderellaaaaaaaaa. Brb going to rewrite Shrek, so Lord Farquaad is a misunderstood king who loves his people wholeheartedly, but this evil jackass ogre and other cruel freaks keep trying to ruin his kingdom.
That??? That did not look like a dog eating two women to me????? It looked like a dog doing something entirely different to two women????? I honestly am dumbfounded about whether I just didn't interpret the drawings correctly or if they'd really go in that direction..
No you're right, that is indeed beast*al*ty. I was surprised and then put the phone down cuz honestly, I got confused as to wtf is going on. I'm officially lost with this bit of the story ngl.
Yeah, thank you, I felt a bit crazy just considering it an option. I honestly don't understand why they decided to go in that direction?? He's been established as a greedy, jealous, uncaring and cruel man, but not like. an absolute creep. And it's apparently not his first time visiting? What is this supposed to say to me about our protag? I already knew his was cruel, so why give it this horrible twist ugh..
So from what I understood ,the protagonist was reincarnated as the villain after dieing and I think the shock of having died together with the horrible personality that the villain already had made him go crazier.
At least that's my interpretation, so even if he already went to the "Circus" , perhaps he didn't give shit or went to "business" right away. Or maybe he just completely ignored the fact that this was happening and just did his villainous thing.
Idk either. If your gonna add that then a mention/hint at it would be enough. But he's visiting again and again?? That's just weird.
I think he more so visits often cuz he's always with unsavory type of ppl trying get them on his side or get blackmail info since just bringing up his name is enough to validate being able to see that
That definitely was so unnecessary it just made the story bleh
But that scene was actually uncaring and cruel ?? I'm lost people how you expected him to be when he is a villain that was totally on brand with his personality?

Anyway people if y'all need therapy after this read kiraide isasete, it's cute and have babies;)
you guys know hes friends with the circus owner, right?
it is important to me you know hes friends with him
Im not saying he's not but it is also implied he brings ppl there so could possibly be a business friendship
The dog being sickened to eat them would be uncaring and cruel also. I'm not opposed to the protag being a cruel irredeemable man. I'm opposed to introducing this sexual element to it for shock factor and then expecting the readers to ignore it. You can say it's wrong, but people generally find sexual violence more disturbing than violence in general. Adding this, saying that the protagonist attends these shows often and then using it only to shock the love interest and reader is just insane.
Imagine if in one chapter he just pissed into someone's drink and let them drink it. Yes, it'd be cruel and uncaring, but it'd still be really weird to include it and it would taint your perception of him and in every following chapter you'd have to think about this dude being the piss in your drink man. That's how I feel about him now.
i mean the point is *this* isnt something he particularly draws a line to
I get its also particularly unusual and cruel of a choice but its more about making the final ending of Nasha as bad as possible than to hurt these random 2 sisters.
Horrible things are afoot like next chapter has less of an excuse other than to build raport between whats his face and the priest so i wouldnt hold my breath for this in particular, although the beastiality will make another cameo
Clearly his goal was to be as evil as possible and i'm sorry for you but SA *is* the most evil act out there, that's the point he is a villain he doesn't draw a line at the cruelty he does he wants to make people suffer. Yes now you will see him as the monster he is and that's what the author wants you to feel.
I can see why you'd see it that way so agree to disagree, but I wouldn't say being eaten alive is less evil, just less perverse. Plus the fact that a previous female antagonist was also sexually assulted...idk I just don't think it adds anything to the story
Our protags are sooooo cute. I love their relationship.
That's fucking depressing. Amazingly done, gorgeously written and drawn, but God, how depressing. Remilia doesn't love him and he doesn't really love her. What they share, what allows them to stay together whether Angel knows it or not, is how much they love Emi. Oh goooood. She loves her so much. The closest she comes to loving another, is when she can most accurately act like Emi and be loved for it.Sorry, I keep repeating myself, but she just loves Emi so much. Nothing compares. I love this story and it's the greatest gl on here, whether it's intended to be read that way or not.
It's Emi that disappeared, yet it's Remilia that isn't allowed to exist, except on the edge of existence itself. Remilia can't ever exist, because that alone would feel like a betrayal of Emi, which Remilia can't live with.
There's still this tiny bit of hope hidden in her dialogue though. Before we get into the whole rebirthing Emi thing she talked about how Emi became a part of her, admitting she might still be with her. To me it was not only speaking about it in a literal soul-esque sense but also from a point where this ideal of Emi's Remilia started to become a part of Remilia herself. Her love may not be as unconditional as Emi's but it is still there. It learned to be there because Emi taught it to Remilia. What may have started with honouring Emi's Remilia has evolved into doing the right thing because she simply wants to be good.
I think Remilia's and Angel's relationship will get to a point where Remilia can truly realize that while Angel learns to love the real Remilia. It's simply that if Remilia is supposed to get with anyone they have to first like Emi, otherwise it's just not working out lmao.
At least that's my hopeful take on it. It's still highkey depressing though because no way you twist it Remilia's and Emi's love for each other is tragic.
I think the sorceress lied just now. We know that Sylhan's memory is getting better and we know that Gjord has something to do with the previous sorcerer getting sick. For whatever reason, Lysbet doesn't want Sylvan to recover his memories, whether it's because she cares for him or she gets something out of it, I have no idea. She did let Sylhan choose the medication, which makes me think that she does sincerely want him to be healthy, just not capable of taking back his place.
Anyway off topic, but I reaaallly appreciate Gjord and how he's written. I feel like 99% of other yaoi writers would have made him abusive already, what with being strong royal who had slept with Sylhan before.
I think its because her brother is the one who killed the Uke's father.
