Ick

Yep, the teacher gave me an ick. Don't care whatever you guys say, whether who settled boundaries, who blushes, or whatsoever. He's definitely a NO.

Yes, we're back with the same plot. But seriously, you just need to be nice to the kid. The bane of the story is that Ibelia mistreated the kid. Kinda didn't get the things with the Duke, if you don't like him, use him as a way to protect yourself from an abusive household. It's not like there were something or anything to redeem that family. They never liked you anyway. You don't want that dead flag but would stay on an abusive household that you could get out of quite easily if you just use the biggest and pretty visible opportunity. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

Personally liked this story. I definitely like every character, too, and their development. At first, I really dislike Oushi, ngl. Yuki already mentioned how thorny his sign language was, and it actually shows. He was pretty immature and hopelessly in love with Yuki. His character development definitely shone brighter than anyone else. Itsuomi is a dream man. Talking about experience, deaf people get attach easily and they're preys towards predators. That's why my parents are pretty much strict with my sister because that girl had multiple guys on her line (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

People should really read some things on reddit. I was at awe with their analysis on every character and I'm loving every bit of it.

Let's value the fluff and the maturity that story holds. With these era of redflag enjoyers, let's dig for greenflags and fluff.

That's an abrupt end. I needed to recheck if I really read the last note and "end" then. It's gave off a feeling that what we read was just a trailer.

Not complaining, just stated what I felt as I read the last chapter. Nonetheless, wishing the artist a fast recovery and healthy body!

Reminder for all who read this to always drink lots of water and check on yourself regularly! Don't forget to always clean your hands and stay safe, away from illnesses! You'll always be the one who knows your body foremost and better than anyone. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

I think the sequel is more interesting more than the main story. I got the feeling that it can be a good story. Moreover, you can also see the change in art style. What bothered me the most is how Elise changed from having villainess image to a complete angel. Not by personality but appearance. She slowly looked like a soft girl. Her supposedly sharp eyes lowered to make it seem that she became kinder? It's not like she was that villainy.

All-in-all, it's a good read, however, I liked the sequel more because it seemed to have a better story foundation. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ I also liked the slight change in art. So pretty and cute.

The dynamics between the current FL and the "heroine" is fiery and interesting. The thought that Liz is deluded into thinking that being a saintess means not hating nor thinking negative thoughts, might be because of the people around her and her upbringing. She's still annoying and Alicia is definitely doing a great job keeping antagonizing her but also supporting her. She's like a strict teacher to me, honestly.

I dislike the animosity from her own brother. May it be magic or not. Alicia was right when she pointed out that she's younger, and the fact he's her older brother.

The boys (love interests) are boring. They're plainly boring. I just can't feel anything interesting about them.

Liz isn't that bad. She's slowly becoming aware. However, I stand by the Prince, especially when he got angry over what she said towards Alicia. She's stupidly kind without empathy towards others. She's the type of person that is one-sided; once she thinks you're wrong, she'll believe that. She knew Alicia was kidnapped but still focused on the thought that she almost killed or trying to kill her abductor. Not to mention that Alicia was battered pretty bad. She even took things lightly, and did not admit she was wrong. That's why the prince got mad. She's stupid. That's why I like Alicia more.

Once she realizes that she's not all nice and kind, she'll either be insufferably annoying or a better version of herself.

Tried to read the whole thing again. I liked it at first read but now that I'm rereading it, a lot of things were thrown by the side without much of an importance. It's like a rushing river that no one can stop. The betrayal, the characters who had a lot of potential, and the ending. There would've been bigger scenes but out of nowhere Leonard, despite being overpowered and the main villain, died easily at the end. The story got so much potential but the ending got barely live up to it. Rushed and half-assed.

I think it revolved too much to the drama between the main characters that it lacked substance. My opinion changed and now I have a mixed feelings with the story.

Not me reading the omegaverse thing, LOL. Whilst I am also an avid reader of that genre, what Aiden felt was actually pretty much factual. There are cases where the husband get morning sickness during early months of pregnancy. I even read at some point that wives go over their husbands while they were asleep to trigger it at some point (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

You can search up Couvade syndrome, if you're interested. It's sympathetic pregnancy and it's not uncommon.

I know that his mother's a victim and all, but at this point, there's no redemption that would be acceptable. So as with the King. Whether they're victims or not, they're basically useless at this point. Why not just give off the damn throne and titles? You can't even exercise real authority? Just die off. It'll help your damn child. Goodness gracious.

Although it was established that Falco is her foster parent, other than that, there were no "parent" vibes. Mainly because Shou acted a little different than most children of her age. She still felt like an adult, seeing how mature and also her flashbacks help. She still thinks like an adult.

Plus the fact that age really doesn't matter in the storyline after people reach adulthood. I don't know how it works, though, to be honest. Falco looked like mid-20s and Shou looks like still under 10, despite being older than that.

I normally would get the ick with age gaps, but if you understand the storyline and supporting background details or history information, you would also understand why I don't feel wronged by it. Plus, Falco really seemed like a child with the way he acts. Shou felt more of an adult than him. THAT'S THE WEIRD PART OF EVERYTHING. It's like they're not far off with each other by age. That world is weird. I guess the author wanted a completely different world customs than Earth. I just don't get the age issue anymore. It's like one plus one is not two anymore, LOL. ヾ(☆▽☆)

Ngl, the story lacks substance. It's hard to indulge with the story that's why I felt nonchalant with the fact that she's a reincarnated child. Like the age doesn't fit and also the character designs (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Seeing dislikes on those comments who made sense really speak volume.

Stop with your "main character" "heroic" ideals. You cannot stop bullying just by standing up to them! Those bullies won't stop. You can clearly read how they can change their targets according to their wants. They are riding on their noble ranks because that's just how hierarchy means! Nobles hold authority, and how they use them are up to them. The only ones who can trample them are those of higher nobility status!

Learn to analyze and understand what you're reading RATIONALLY. It's time to read between the lines! This ain't fairy tales that we read 20 years ago. Grow up!

Normally, I would enumerate stuff I hate about a story, but I'm having mixed emotions with the characters. The semes gave me an ick; they're pretty much problematic. Taichi is mentally weak while (I forgot his name) black-haired dude is meddling too deep. I know he's apparently envious, may it be romantically or because of his past, but to have a say about other's relationship with just surface context is just plainly meddlesome. I like how caring he was at some point, but it subtly annoyed me how he would call them pathetic and useless. Is he pertaining to them or himself? (a genuine question)

And yeah, Taichi, with that upbringing might be acknowledgable. However, he did cause pain towards Naoto. He was lost and cannot handle his emotions well. He did recognize his faults and apparently changed and matured. He was still an asshole tho. The r/pe was a big deal for readers because of we are usually the ones who interpret the works of the author; Naoto, as blinded he was because of love, brush it off because of how physically active they were with each other. It's kind of a thing where you got used to someone's touch. (Still assault tho, whether one is angry or not, whether you're dating or not. Assault is an assault, with or without label. They're just stupidly in love.)

All-in-all, the latter volume is such a stressful read. The first volume is showing development, young and fresh. The second one is stressful. It was all about growth and maturity, showing how dirty and heavy adulting is.

P.S. Always remember that it's easier to say things and get frustrated over things we haven't experienced. As much as I hate how weak-willed and ineffable Taichi is, he's just another depiction of a human.
P.S.S. Still hate how many unnecessary and stupid fights they had. But I know it's stupid for me, but hard for them.

LEARN HOW TO UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES. It's fun analyzing humans, but it's also a hassle.

Never gonna read it again, but it's a good read.

(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I noticed that Ryuu was the one stealing food from Sanjou when they were young, LOL; he made him cry.

But overall? It's such a cute story. That sexual harassment and PTSD were sad, tho. Thank goodness he was just touched. My heart dropped when he said he was assaulted. And shame on those who thought and tried harassing him in the train! He wasn't even implicating that he wants anyone. Who tf is that horny to barely read his intention?

Whatever. I love this story!

All the comments are about Javier being the ml blah blah. But here I am getting frustrated over the emperor being so self-righteous. At this point, I think he's the one plotting his own destruction and actually wanting to oof himself. He's too prideful over his damn dirty, murky bloodline that he forgot that he's an emperor. It's just the same as treating every bomb jokes as a threat, damn it. You should act on it!

Imma say just pack your things and leave that damn country to ruins because that imperial bloodline is a freaking joke!

But I know they won't. Knowing it's still a dang country and innocent lives are at stake.

How lowly of that Emperor to suspect goodwill as ill intent when it was his negligence that caused both of Richy and his mother to go loco?

Waiting for updates and I'll definitely laugh together with the Duke if that Emperor dies because he's too stupid to care. Damn it.

Age

I jumped right to it because the translation on Chapter 2 said she's having her 12th birthday. I think he's 25? Because the sister's a year younger than him and she's 24. Is it a mistranslation or whatsoever? I'll read through the chapters but that made me nervous, ngl. 12 is just so much LOL

It's been months(?) since Rimuru became a demon lord. Still annoyed about the two guys who protected Mjuran. Yes, her life was at risk, and the hobgoblins and the rest were basically strangers for her. But the fact that they died and even though she got no choice, she still caused and helped a massacre? Rimuru was so patient but for them to beg and demand for others to hear her, won't really erase the fact that their people were killed because of her. It's not about having no choice or not, my annoyance is straight towards those two who are stupidly in love, asking for the unreasonable.

She helped and redeemed herself. Although Shion and the others were revived, they still died. No hate towards her though, those two were just unnecessarily insensitive. Still rolling my eyes whenever I get to reread that part.

Based on the uke's character traits, I can say it's not just about insecurities or immaturity as y'all wanted to point out. There are about hundreds of mental disorders tallied, fyi. Some might come off as normal and common, or even subtle so people don't usually call it as a disorder and just a disability. Why? Because it seemed inordinate or extreme. Kinda guessed about it because the story is full of hints using delusion of grandeur (a mental disorder symptom) and avoidant. As shitty his character comes off, that's just how toxic dating someone with mental disability is. Plus, he's aware. He knew he was being avoidant, and that's actually a personality disorder if y'all want to search for it. Personality disorders are interesting to read and you guys might realize that there are numerous people around you with the same symptoms, LOL.

I'm not trying to reason him out of it, but if it's how the author wanted him to be, then it is what it is. That's why the story is well-written for me. It's still disturbing, however, as someone who study and interacted with people like them, I can say that he's pretty normal. They tend to be impulsive and has a tendency for hypersexuality. He's definitely on a subtle spectrum.

I just love stories with hints to uncover.

Damn, that last conversation tugged my heart. Shigaraki qlso finally genuinely called her grandma! Kinda sad that it felt like the storyline is coming to an end with AFO, the main villain, disintegrated and Shigaraki finally got some closure.

But as much as I want it to be longer, it's already a fine end for AFO, seeing those he deemed lesser than him, fighting together. It gives off "no man is an island". One for All served its purpose as a quirk for all, not for Izuku alone. It influenced everyone and AFO got a taste of his own medicine.

Can't wait for the anime to catch up and I can finally see it in moving animation. It'll be a blast.

First of all, it's kinda funny when she said his hands were cold. Of course they are, you're touching his armored hands, LOL.

But kidding aside, why did the fairies die? Out of nowhere and because they went back to where they came from? should be? Is it because Felix is regaining his taste and because they're connected to him? So if he's fully cured, they'll be gone? It was quite expeditiously written because the scenario was brief and brushed through.

Ngl, I noticed that the events are jumping quite fast, that it was pretty subtle and harmonious to a fully dramatic and ominous shift. I know dramas are needed, but it also need a build up. Calm down, author.

The shifts are weirdly written but it's still a cute read. Love the art!
