Agathe's manga / #Interesting(417)

43 - this is a title i would have skipped from its name and summary but. Thanks to the comments i had a great time reading this very fun variation on rebirth and karma The characters are interesting, the pace is good and it’s mysterious and fun enough to keep you wanting more So far it’s just lacking a little in the emotions range to be perfect : i mean it seems well though, but not necessarily well felt … or something … it’s a very nice read, but not something that got me involved or had me die from laughing But it’s very nice so far

60 - quite different, the op pastlife, and the broken one both needs to, be kept in leash : it gives plenty room to ponder the meaning of life and how to belong … Lots of deep questions sometimes meet strange extreme battles, but it fits in an ok package, with a good pace It’s entertaining with more depth than many others - and so far away from the usual super reincarnator that beats his way to the top to conquer the world, and absolutely more interesting

22 - nice characters, interesting dynamic et story

74 - 4+ - on a basic not too original premise, the story manages to be interesting, the special power is truly special, op, yet limited, so not too bad The mc is a bit bland, but he stays true to what many geeks are, doesn’t become a hero or a god, despite being literally labeled as one ! The side characters and the plot are interesting, the plot is pretty good too The only true annoying thing is the harem-ish undertone, the nearly naked female warrior - it’s not the worse, but it’s not the best https://www.novelupdates.com/series/world-customize-creator/

170 - 3.5 - my review is biased as i read around 600 chapters of the novel, so it’s hard not to compare This adaptation is much lighter, it kept a lot of the « humorous «  parts and a lot of « fan » service (geeky gimmicks, silly or flirty chapters, witch outfits, a few of the virgin ridiculous interactions , etc ) The pace is way faster (it nearly caught up with my reading) On the opposite it lost a lot of it’s political interactions - and intentions In the novel, there's strong content about shaping a society, that includes obediences, and manipulation of ideology through propaganda, slogan or theater, or the fabrication of a social ladder based on merit … etc - the content still exists but it’s stripped of its intentions which is a bit sad, as it was probably one of the most fascinating part of that story - It was very explicit and nothing was hidden on lots of methods to bring change into mindsets - One thing i disliked in the book and still find, in lesser proportion in the manhua, is the « propaganda «  toward our models of « industrial revolution «  , to me it was very double edged - for one part, i dread the long term consequences in matters of environment that actually really threatens us with mass extinction , yet, it also comes from a perspective of extreme poverty and that did add volume to my thoughts : the first impression of these technology choices might indeed have been progress and better life for « the masses » (although Chaplin modern time already said otherwise) I wish the writer add more culture about alternatives in a variety of things, it would be nice to imagine how a world can grow without our mistakes, of picking better choices t tesla theory, pantone water engine, Jean pain method and permaculture… etc), I dream to read an isekai where progress is not a copy paste of our world, including our past including our worst mistakes Lastly the plot with the witches, the political entanglement and some added ancient mystery makes for a really nice plot I grew tired of the novel, but despite some seriously weaker content, i certainly would be curious to read more As an adaptation, i regret a bit too much on the lighter part, and a bit too little on the serious motivations behind everything the prince is doing - it was a bit thick in the novel, but keeping a bit more would have added some depth

27 - 4.5 - really intriguing and quite different, we can expect a little bit of fantastic tale to be spinning of , and I’m certainly curious to read more in this direction The ML is just great, his determination and kindness, his sense of observation and care makes him quite perfect Th MC is … not too great in the beginning ? There’s an abundance of flashbacks that are pretty useless and it doesn’t help, also so cares to little for our dear male lead - on that we can also thing she’s level headed and desires self sufficiency - so it’ll not all bad, and there’s room to grow and it looks like it’s getting better So… she could also easily become really fine if we don’t get stuck in her heavy past The pace is good, the humorous part alternate with a bit onf mystery that becomes more with new chapters Appart from the thickness of the background telling, it’s quite entertaining and made me really curious and eager for more

14 - 4.5 - now that’s some beginning ! The mc is really interesting with a bright and strong personality and the setting is rather original and the pace is great ! From the spoilers there seem to be an amount of dark background from the previous life (or the novel character) It’s a bit mysterious, i hope oit won’t lose it’s fun and level headed touch to drama

35 - 3.5 - no rape no psycho uberman partner, and no ultra gulible half wit girl : not bad in this register! Also the kid is smart but not another 5 year old hacker with an otherworldly IQ (at least not so far) the setting is still rather extreme and absurd , one is a prince, the other is a …? (Spy, assassin on the run maybe ?) but without that, there would be very little story (need for antagonist to slow the romance) The pace is ok too, there some very useless interactions, but quite little, so you don’t get stuck in the forever lost land where you know some crucial info that the characters will take 300 chapters or more to check So while it’s neither smart or deep, so far, it’s pretty good entertainment, in the Chinese light romance category I read it there under a different title : it’s not much ahead, but the translation is also better https://www.mangasy.com/manhua/pregnant-wife-and-the-little-ones/

9 - it’s interesting, the fact that the mc doesn’t follow her own drive from the start is indeed different and brings other perspective on reaching goal, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, self confidence (and self confidence damages), or growing motivation … It’s a nice read, i still don’t like the unbalanced relationship between the mcs as she’s too lost and he knows too much, Compared to her … not in a rethorical manner but in « grown ups way - or maybe she lacks too much, or maybe their relationship has this kind of vibe… a pygmalion effect ? Anyway he also making a lot of choices for her, but well, it’s a feodal world and at least he stands by her in some clever ways Otherwise it’s interesting and varied, not too slow, and it made me curious For more

46 - 4.5 - good, kind of original, perky and interesting There seem to be a nice plot going on and the characters are really entertaining When it comes to the bill about students wellfare, it’s rather brilliant : wellfare is not made to raise animals, but human : why would it be wrong to dedicate a part of funding to wellbeing and culture ? The dissociation of the debate , broken into a political fight between factions, tearing the bill away from its purpose is interesting The translation is still a bit hard to follow as it is harder to make up for the mistake with a content that is more precise in an unusual domain, but i still really enjoy how different this story is, and how refreshing the added depth is It’s also good it’s not just a story about nobility. There’s a lot about normal people, their work and work ethic… no frills and tea parties to no end, no crazy shopping spree every ten chapters … some brain, some heart, and lifelike events … i need more like these !
