Meridian's manga / #Complete(169)

Smutty, nice h scenes, and cute. It's got some 2000s yaoi proportions going on tho.

Cute read. I loved the groups energy and it felt like they were like super close siblings. It had funny banter and honestly ended at a good point when stories like these can drag on easily. I wish it had a little more depth, like MC didn't really grow as a person, we don't know how military service is gonna go, and I felt like MCs sister was introduced for nothing. Still, it had some drama, free comedy, and cuteness so it was worth the read. 3.5/5 stars

Technically ongoing but I'm considering it complete. The story's clearly over aside from the public finding out about their relationship. I love the uniqueness of the main couple and how they meet. It's so dog blood but also interesting. Plus the literal magic abilities of their kid? Super cool and played off in a funny rather than serious way. I also always find it funny when every single person around the main couple also find their partner and their similarly all gay (for the guys, anyways). 4/5 stars

This had SO MUCH potential I'm so upset at how rushed the ending was. I think the project got cut short and they only had a few chapters to wrap everything up otherwise I have no explanation for all the loose ends that were left after the finale. Also the second male lead just poofed out of existence never to be seen again at some point, like what happened? The art was super cute, the slow burn was slow burning, and the MC and ML had super interesting and unique things going for them! An ML that can see the system??? That's AMAZING and it got thrown away I wanna cry.

The side characters were so well developed that they upped the entire story by a star, also they were the main source of comedy. Mostly H but the plot that was there was pretty fun!

Fun, overpowered MC that finally gets the life he deserves after he died unfairly the first time. You can't even be upset at how lucky he is because there is so much effort he puts in behind the scenes. Plus, this life was literally made by a god so that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore. All that and there was still well-written conflict where the stakes were still life-threatening and would've been worse for others who didn't have MC's tenacity and kindness. One of the best things in the story was the villain. I love me a deep, three-dimensional antagonist. Every step of the way you want him to overcome his trauma so he can be friends with the MC. As much as I understood him and felt sympathetic, I'm also glad that the author didn't redeem him. Sometimes simple separation and acceptance is a more fitting ending than redemption or damnation.

For something labeled smut, why did it fade to black so much??? It was one of those reads where you're like 'lmaooo we're all super traumatized and fucked up for enjoying this, but anyways let's have fun with it'. Was it good? Absolutely not. Did I like it? Surprisingly, yes.

Seemed decent enough from the beginning to the middle, but the end felt super generic and rushed. I liked MC, his sidekick/friend, and the power system. What sucked were the villains, they felt so one-dimensional even though they had clear motivations. The climax didn't have a proper build-up at all, it just came out of nowhere and led to the end immediately. The ending was a literal deus-ex-machina where a bunch of gods that we have never seen or even heard of joined in the fight so MC would win. I did enjoy the epilogue though, where all the powers disappeared from the world (except for MC hehe). Gained half a star from ending on a good note. 2.5/5 stars

I got annoyed at the shitty writing. Light H with some plot, honestly it would've been better with no story. Second ML is a pitiful mat, the antagonist is a rapist that the author tries to redeem, and the misunderstandings between the MCs are suuuuper forced.
