Agathe's manga / #Interesting(417)

9 - 4.5 - very nice start, cute interesting and astonishingly political

8 bw / 81 color - as always the end can only determine the rating, it seems more and more about food (?) The Webtoon forms killed it for me, chapters are too small, colors are patched up, scrolling is tiresome, while the normal layout was perfectly fine :/ Lastly, the MC is getting extremely tiresome with her absolutely servile attitude, low self esteem, dense brain, etc She’s stereotypical of last century maiden, the perfect maid chosen by exceptional males for some reasons (marie sue type ?) strangely the lack of;self;esteem and the maid thing (thriving to be a perfect « inferior » being / servant tends to grow excruciating - what the heck we are democratic people, why would we be grateful to be perfect at making nobles confortable in their roles of lazy/ plotting « masters » ? Isn’t that gruesome ?

3 nice but needs more to see, so far a bit heavy on flashbacks https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5483eq/

51 - mean but makes me seriously curious , usually vengeance are boring, it’s kind of nice it’s hard to get even Other than that i hope the misunderstandings between the characters goes Away fast, it’s becoming boring

54 - 2.5 https://toomics.com/en/webtoon/episode/toon/4959 Dark, manipulative, mysterious and violent, mysterious is easy to achieve through hidden meanings, andlies … the MC appearsto be used and abused Her character is quite inconsistent, but seing how she’s played doesn’t help The overall feeling is gloomy, little make sense, good intentions seems hardto come by and selfishness seems to rule (12 - it’s a big introduction to an original universe (let’s hope it doesn’t borrow too much - chess, alice, rabbits, sins) Depending on the kind of challenges it could be great or not - so let’s wait, at least i enjoyed seen something ambitious and different

13 - needs to see more to know , but i like the role reversal and the mysterious kingdom with some fantastic powers like the mirror and maybe the animal totem (?) (not magic ?) I like the fact that so far.there is kindness in all the important characters too

5 - 3.5 - not much but cute, https://ncode.syosetu.com/n6860dt/117/

49 - despite the title and the ugly theme ( women fighting for a single guy, bleh) it’s interesting enough and the MC has a lot of strength (not just muscles), But her motivations are just sad and the prince is so unlikable, it’s a pity - after so many chapters, the lack of genuine good feeling and the addition of new « princess «  to the prince harem are getting tiresome Nice variation on fables and tales - royalty is really bad, dark hypocritical and lethal, it makes for something both fun and grown up + : the,universe is a bit like fable (comics) or once upon a time (tv), there are fables, but not tha children type : the romance is « pretence » royalty is greedy and politics are dark (not to deep there, but as a recurring background that you wont forget) Then there’s the mc : she is really awesome, she’s ressourceful, independent, not gullible, fair minded, and not dumbed down by the male - she’s strong in more than a way On the - it a + but also a - : the court is not fluffy at all, the prince is snarky, nasty, murderous and an evil seducer - there are a lot of readers that dislike him (for good reasons) - The whole thing would be better if the MC was free to love any characters, but the odd are that big ass prince is the ML So far there’s no romance, her interest in him are based on necessity - she has to play the game or want to … at least so far That’s what makes the bad prince thing bearable It’s also sad that the most interesting garderner is both curse int the story and by the writer (bound to not be chosen) - - i understand some people might take it wrong that cursed people are colored - that leaves me with ambiguous feelings : there are also the,prettiest characters of the story, the most genuine and probably well liked - it’s true that there have been a lot of segregation based on color, but it basically exist against any type of people too… sometimes avoiding a topic, is also another way to designate differences, it’s also another kind of setting people appart (btw, slavery exist in any color, and in about every culture before 19th to 20th centurie, color prejudice aainst all colors subsequently mut have existed too - it sadly exist in many countries nowadays, and again, in every color’) That dynamic is great, you have a bit of mystery, and quite a bit of humor - it’s bot entertaining and different in a familiar universe

8.2 - is a bit short , obviously the M C has some op possibilities, but it’s fun so far I just don’t like too much when kids outsmart grown ups
