Zihvuda's manga / #fluff(15)

IT was alright. The romance was adorable and cute, and also endlessly annoying. The love triangle is a shit trope that just needs to die. Cain was great, but instead of stepping back and being happy for the person he loved, he did the shitty thing of trying to take control. It just wasn't good and I hated it. His blatant betrayal was glossed over in the end, and hell the ending itself was pretty bad. Like i really REALLY wanted an ending, and what I got was pretty bad. Instead of character not going back to previous life because already dead, it's character stuck in a vr world decides to stay there and leave her real world body to rot i guess. The more baffling thing was that another character also comes to the VR world. This person has no reason to stay at the end, but chooses to anyway. It's all really stupid and I'm really disappointed. The romance between the main couple is great and they actually get together halfway through the story and get some lovely fluffy moments together. It's great! But when the plot isn't focused on them and their relationship, it falls flat and just isn't good. MC also just becomes an amazing inventor who can easily invent and implement her inventions without any problems ever. Like magic really. Might as well have just made her a particularly gifted witch. A genderbent Merlin. I wouldn't really recommend this story, which I admit is a bit strange since i read it to the end. But that ending was just such a let down, and there's far better already out there.

An interesting tale of a girl who... goes back in time to her birth after a series of unfortunate events (she doesn't die). Mystery should be one of the tags for this, but I didn't add it because... well it's window dressing for the plot. For me, the plot doesn't focus enough on the mystery, and there's just too much fluff with the family. Also it's basically a harem story cause everyone is just falling for MC left and right. ML is only properly introduced around chapter 80 or something, and everything else is just everyone fawning of over how cute, pretty and smart MC is. They slowly introduce magic and mana, but not very well, and it's just not my cup of tea. It's honestly mostly slice of life, which is fine for those who like that sort of thing. It, unfortunately isn't what I come to Isekai/reincarnation stories for. Everything is a slow burn and therefore I find myself equal parts intrigued and bored. I do recommend giving it a try, as the story isn't bad, it's just not for me. The translation starts good and then there's once again a series of chapters "translated" by people who don't speak english. Also come chapters have missing pages and it's just.... a mess and a half to get through before someone who has basic knowledge of english makes the story comprehensible again. It's a shame but you miss some important interactions and world building because of the gibberish translations. The gibberish comes in around after chapter 90? I think, and it's like 10-20 chapters before it gets better. =_= sucks. The Romance makes you pray for more time skips. Also it's a reverse harem so it's already not something I'm into. Ugh... I just... I don't want to read about older people in child bodies making moony eyes at each other. It's just uncomfortable. Nor is the romantic moments between 5 year olds better or at all good. Just... Nope, dropping it and looking for something else now, before I end up on a watch list or arrested. (ಠ ∩ಠ)

A café worker meets and dates a man who frequents his café, the man appears perfect and as time goes on it's clear he appears so because he hides a lot about himself. The café worker eventually breaks up with him and quits his job to start over somewhere new. He joins a cleaning service through which he meets his now thoroughly miserable ex. Neither can seem to stay away from the other. This story also contains a meeting and get-together of another couple, which has a relationship somehow much healthier than the first couple's, but both are interesting for their own reasons. Like some other commenters, I did end up preferring the second couple with the "bad boy" top. This is a shame because it is also in part due to how completely the author shifts the focus from the first couple to the second for a rather large portion of the story. To the point where the first couple kind of disappears. There's also a lot of... coincidences? I'm not sure that's the right word, but it wont come to me right now. Either way, the plot starts feeling a bit shaky because of these coincidences, and if you think too much about them it can affect your enjoyment of the story somewhat. Fortunately the characters and their related drama is engaging enough that one can ignore this, at least i could. The fluff is sweet and really nice, but I do find myself having a lot of problems with the first couple, or mainly the original "Mr. Perfect" of the story. His issues are sort of touched upon, but not enough and his behavior makes me really uncomfortable, even if his partner dismisses it. I may be overly sensitive due to the course on domestic abuse I'm currently taking, but like... he leaves bruises on his partner... his partner doesn't enjoy it and has wanted him to stop. He sort of says it, during sex, but it gets ignored, and I don't remember him bringing it up to Mr. Perfect again outside of sex. And that is a problem... a kind of loose end I don't think ever gets properly resolved. Later on towards the end there is a scene of non-con. I'd call it sexual assault even, but despite the partner fainting at the end of it, and scaring the shit out of Mr. Perfect (for very good reason), it's not treated with the gravitas it should have. The story ended on a sweet lovely note, but I remain worried despite that, because of just how many bruises the partner suffers. It also makes it more uncomfortable, because the partner doesn't seem to see this behavior as a problem after an apology, something that is very VERY real in cases of domestic violence. It's starts off small and escalates and I felt like that's what I was witnessing with the first couple. Mr. Perfect needs SO MUCH therapy. Like he badly needs it, and his lover isn't the thing that will fix him. The realism of the abuse in here hits too close, and it feels a little irresponsible of the author to just sweep it away with a blanket happy ending like that. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the first couple is happy together. I want to see them together. I'm glad the partner is so good with de-escalating things that could have turned bad with how obsessive and possessive Mr. Perfect sometimes gets. However I feel it would have been better to see Mr. Perfect get more help for his issues and for the story to at least mention that he's using other methods to work on himself. A lover cannot and should not be the "fix", not in a story that gets this close to real. *Ahem* sorry for the rant, anyway the rest of the story is good and I would recommend it. Just... not to people who could be affected by the stuff described above. Like many yaoi manga, there's a few instances of attempted sexual assault or outright attempted rape by antagonists. Oh!! ALSO there's attempted suicide, it's not graphic and is immediately thwarted. It is a thing that happens though, so it's important to mention. Despite my complaints and problems with this comic, the ending still had me smiling, so make of that what you will.

Yeah, a child is abused, finds out the family she's in is not her blood related family, she goes to find her father. Her mom's dead. For some reason her father couldn't raise her, or be there for her at all until she went to find him. Story is fluffy and cute and I like the art, but the translation is trash and a chore to read. Dropped.

This is insane, and unbearably cute. The couple here is just... insane! They are both crazy obsessed and possessive and it's somehow healthier and more wholesome than 95% of the yaoi stuff on this site. How did you manage this author person??? HOW?! I want more of this couple dammit!! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
