(( _ _ ))..zzzZZ's manga / #MIDDLE AGED MWAHAHA(2)

SHORT (6 CHAPS) Started: 2025-04-24 Finished: 2025-04-26 At first I was a bit iffy because Guideverse has never been my cup of tea and it was pushing it for this to also have nameverse which I’ve *never* read before. But nevertheless, by the end, I was on board with it. If anything, this felt more devotion than possession. I also liked how they can hear each others thoughts when they’re connected, physically or emotionally. The synch thing was a nice touch! I liked how it evolved to at the end, just by talking to each other, they can synch. A typically but short Guideverse with also a touch of nameverse. Ml breaks the stigma of guides being for espers, publicly announcing that instead of Mc being his one guide, he is mc’s one esper. So instead guides only having one esper and espers having any number of guides, espers have one guide and guides have however many espers, flipping the power dynamics. That was quite a nice touch. Kudos to the author. Overall maybe like a 5.6️ It didn’t stand out to me much but it did a little

Planned: 2024-03-04 Started: 2025-05-20 Finished: 2025-05-20 A guy goes to a planet to manage an exchange where they give the civilization high tech to be able to communicate with the rest of the universe and in return, that civilization gives the humans sulfur. When he gets to the planet, he crash lands and wakes up being raped. Turns out, the high tech wasn’t the human’s exchange, it was a human- it was him. His people sold him to the alien civilization in exchange for their materials since they cannot give birth by themselves. He’s raped by the alien that finds him and eventually gives birth. He goes crazy over time and illusioned to like the feeling of giving birth. He goes a bit bonkers as one would in a cave for a whole year and sends a message back to the main ship through his busted one, calling for more people to manage the trade. Specifically calling for people who were his friends on the ship. They show up and he explains that they will also be used for fertilization. It ends with the crew surrounded by more aliens. I get that he likes the unbiased treatment in comparison to how he was treated in the military based off his social class but he gave in a little too early in my opinion. I think this was supposed to be a green flag story. Ig it’s not such a bad situation. Yes it’s bad but I mean the alien’s rich, has workers, treats the Mc gingerly and actually listens to him. Not even the human mls are that good. By the end the guy reminded me of those ppl in bird box who would force others to look at the monsters so they would also feel “good”. Now he’s just having all his friends get raped and forcefully have children. Kinda messed up. Maybe 3.2 ️
