stressedpenguin's manga / #meh(446)

guy wakes up with amnesia but only about his lover so we know it gon be aaangst Update ch 4. .......Eh? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ their backstory of why they got together is super surface level imo. To me it feels like they're together because this is a BL, and they got into the argument because the story needed them to for plot. Not feeling the impact of this Wound up being a 5/10 for me despite having two of my favorite angst tropes.

Dropped at ch 10. Meh. I could complain about DP on the second time being unrealistic or how the guys asking for consent is totally performative and they don't actually let her consent before just going for it. BUT really what annoyed me is that I just don't like them. They're annoying to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯ For what I read, 3/10

Hm, I wish we could've seen Lemon and Cherry fuck after coming back from Paris

Uhh... a LOT happened in this one. Can't say I enjoyed it but cant say I wasn't entertained by some of the bizarre writing choices and revolving door of love interests. 4/10

Was pretty decent master x servant, alpha x beta drama with some of the worst executed kidnapping plots I've seen and a neck snappingly abrupt ending. It was so poorly executed I fully did not believe it was real. I thought I was reading a dream or something 4/10

No thoughts with this on really. Wasnt all that engaging for me. Idk 4/10

Initially really liked this but wound up feeling apathetic.... Season 1 reaction: FINALLY an intense, supernatural, shaman mystery with a cohesive plot, complex characters, and good pacing!! Gonna wait till more episodes before I continue Update ch 50. Well that kinda... sucked. The last 20 chapters are just a series of character's jumping back and forth between locations, proclaiming things and then immediately undermining those things, and me feeling frustrated that nothing seemed to have any consequence in the end. To make myself feel better, here a bulleted list of everything I found annoying. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST 20 CHAPTERS: . . . . . . . . >>Characters magically appearing in locations. By that I mean, Eun Cheon will be at the shaman learning place or whatever with Do-Rim. He leaves and runs into the murder mafia guy, gets kidnapped to a random location, and then seven pages later Do-rim just appears. Nothing to indicate how much time has passed, or how Do-rim found them. Like was it forensic investigation? Divination? I would assume divination at this point, but it frustrated me. >>The two ukes getting constantly raped by the incubus fucker right up until the final battle. Eun Cheon is literally half naked cuz the demon was raping him two minutes before Do-rim shows up for the final fight >>Do-rim promising to save Eun Cheon at least twice, and then immediately failing to do so, at least twice. >>The cut away scenes shaman people being like "their fate is inevitable" and "it's doomed, they're doomed" to convince us something bad is going to happen and then none of that happening >>Jeong Mok being REALISTICALLY a traumatized child who just wants to save the only family he's ever had in his life but NARRATIVELY really fucking stupid and frustrating. Mr. Murder Brother was really fucking noble resisting the incubus and suffering to keep everyone else safe, and Jeong Mok undermines ALL of that. >>The conflict ending with a Deus Ex Eun Cheon's Mom. This whole story has centered around DO-RIM's ancestors and DO-RIM's powers even when Eun Cheon was technically using them. Like, it's DO-RIM's family the incubus has a grudge against. We've built them up as something formidable, especially the Divine General. And then they all just die in one sword swipe in a single chapter and Eun Cheon's ancestors pop out of his ass to save the day. First 30 chapters are an 8/10. Last 20 chapters are a 4/10. Overall score... 6/10?

Ch 1-2: guy whose job is to combat internet flaming (seme) runs into a guy whose is to flame people (uke). They end up fucking and the uke turns out to be a little sweeter than he seemed. This was alright minus the noncon. 6/10 Ch 3: Japanese man ran away to Italy after his proposal was rejected and through the power of the seme not taking no for an answer, becomes lovers with his Italian coworker. 4/10 Ch 4: Two friends are in love with the uke, which the uke is annoyed by so he tells them he wont do polyamory and they need to decide between their friendship and him. They end up being so depressed about it, and he feels so bad that he agrees to a poly relationship and then they fuck. 5/10? Ch 5: Seme just wants to take care of the charismatic uke who's always pushing himself too hard. Seme turns out to be a bit of a possessive yandere, which I'm never a fan so 3/10 Overall.... 5/10 I guess?

Lowkey took me longer than it should have for me to realise they were teachers . Cute lil cliche story with a bit of rushed drama. 6/10

Dropped at ch 20. Wound up watching the anime since that's complete. Its eh ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Yumelia flip flops between a quirky, fun over powered MC and dumb as bricks to the point of being annoying. The other characters are just kinda there... 4/10, not the worst I've read
