Agathe's manga / #Interesting(417)

42 - 4+, hard to start but worth the effort ! Read at suryascans : https://suryascans.com/manga/the-screen-writer-with-a-spoiler-cheat/ so the system thing is hard to understand, apparently a writer whose job was stolen see a system window which allows him to pay for bits of successful scripts with their viewers evaluations These preview gives him a direction to better the work, hopefully, it’s not a complete cheat an he’s got plenty hard work on his plate, as well as genuine talent The strange point is the paiement system which appears to be related to audience meters / viewers count - nothing to do with money . I guess he’s not a total newbie, and there’s already at least one serie that gave him some audience recognition Now, the system part is a gadget, honestly it brings tension with time limits, but the same story would work without it, and might have been a bit less confusing We mostly have a raise to success story of a writer , with some revenge intentions, it seems pretty deep into the background work of drama at the pre production / production stage, as we are interested in the story of a writer It’s interesting and entertaining, and while not really deep I’m still curious yo read more about something vastly different, from your common stories. It might get some Bakuman vibes in a way, but i don’t know if it’ll get as detailed either (web format tends to be less developed)

38 - Interesting Plandemic and dark stuff are getting heavy But i hate the plandemic background -yuck

44 (s1end) - 4.5- a lot of potential so far absolutely great - Is that another dungeon stout with rebirth on top? Yes, again ! But in fact, it’s also very different in many good ways So : a super selfish super hero with bad temper and no respect for no one ends up sent back in time with heavy karma :he now has to work as a cleaner he so despised, and raise their condition to regain his powers The idea is genius The fact that rotten hierarchy produce a bunch of toxic people with rotten behaviors is pretty well shown , even more compare to he true team spirit of the bottom cleaners who do not consider their comrades to be potent « Lizard tail » to sacrifice, or tool to use all the evil of office within that typical hierarchy are again nicely shown and ridiculed, and that give a nice revenge feeling leaving you wanting more The first arc is highly political, it’s a very strong portrayal of corruption of an entire system - hierarchy is not based on any natural order, cooperation is relegated to a myth or a bottom ladder precarious thing, selfish individuals with only their own benefit or survival in mind struggle in a perpetual fight were everyone needs to watch his back It’s very well written, the quadi evil MC and his unwanted good deeds brings a lot of comic relief and strangely profess other ways and greater values with the greater good in mind. The karma setting goal drives that very mean and selfish guy to do good things, nearly against his will, there’s no miracle, he’s definitely not so nice, but he does grow a bit and it’s truly nice to see him slowly starting yo care (a bit ? Maybe ? Probably …) I wonder if it can keep the right balance, as he has to go against new big challenges and meet true vile enemies So far, one of the great thing is that it’s not another fight and grow story : growth is conditioned by meaningful action and care for others. The MC grows fast, soon to become probably OP but it doesn’t show, and he’s still a tiny weak piece in the corrupted hierarchy It’s not his supernatural hunter powers that gives him a way to survive, at least, it’s only a part of it,future knowledge, but also new relationships, all contribute to his growth It’s also lovely that he tries to achieve his goal through lots of bad means : and fail ! In the end, it’s the genuine care of his co worker and the coincidence born out of his good deeds that free his karma and let him get his powers back Having recovered his power, can the karma system push him into doing somegood things without interest ? That remains to be seen; In an out the first season is absolutely worth the read !

89 - 4+ same, but not, remembering the plot of a novel from a past life, the MC decide to reform herself, and happens to become involved with the protagonist ( so far nothing new, yet…) The difference is probably in the more realistic personality of the girl, she’s very relatable; she made mistakes, she apologizes she change, she doesn’t refer to herself as a character, or suddenly relate more to a previous existence Also, as things go on, she’s simply a good human : she’s able to feel the pain of the prince, of the princess, and even decides to do her best for someone who is far more than the evil character she read about; She determines things can change, people can change, at that makes the story feel more « alive «  : some things wil happen, but people are still humans, not paper sheets, and they are recognized as the automonous living beings that they are; Lastly rolance doesn’t seem easy or even seeked for .many male interests seem interested in her, because her ability influences them,but she has strong barriers and doesn’t want to be fooled. Their interest feels dangerous and is not welcomed Nice changes Good pace, interesting characters, not too fast on romance, and probably some king of fantasy plot along the way; It’s entertaining and it feels clean

31 - once again female are truly emotive, shopping maniac and quarrelsome caricatures, at least they are dressed properly and are on par with the guys in terms of power - but it’s a bit tiresome The story is ok, yet it’s kind of weak ? The MC knows a lot, but it’s not like he really tries to figure what should be changed ? He’s at the same time absorbed in his trauma, obsessed with becoming stronger, yet doesn’t seem to realize how important it is to change the others too ? (Contrary to « a returner’s magic should be special, for exemple) So it happens, but it doesn’t seems like he has intentions to really work on a larger scale ? In the same manner, the dragon thing doesn’t make much sense ? Some monsters including lezards, fine, but what about these kings who are obviously highly intelligent : why would they massacre on a large scale ? Chalenge humans ? (Or loose ??) Then how about the last one ? - Is there some entertainment purposes (bad taste !) or a grander scale of thing ? - How come such intelligent beings never managed to reach agreement to live together ? - Why would they be destructive and greedy ? Obviously there’s not much benefit to a world in ruin Btw, why would superior creatures want yo have an inferior shape like humans ? (That’s a rethorical general question : seriously they would obviously not find attractive such a different figure) I don’t know, it’s flimsy ?

73 - 4.5 nice characters with great relationships, Contrary to what the intro suggested there’s no extreme hierarchy between the MC team, genders are mostly on par, female are strong, not winy It’s a pleasant read, with a good pace and plenty plot to entertain It still linear and predictable but it’s well done

44 - 4 - bad and misguiding title, as the supplement eating thing doesn’t seem as important as the world of immortals and monsters sharing the same Earth as our human awaken Our MC is a mere mortal who awakens an irregular power - as he would be erased if it was know, his metabolism peculiarity (absorbing nutrients and molecules from food, supplements, drugs, plants, you name it), luckily let him appear as a rare and needed « tree constitution » Now these two random cards which makes him unique(his absorption power and his irregular physique), will seldom be shown, as he will grow other powers, trying both to hide himself and get stronger, to be free from implacable, selfish and unfair rules, of the immortals There’s a strong political statements about the world’s hidden rules, the abuses of the powerful and our MC has many characteristics of a people hero… it’s not about facing monsters, and being the strongest, it’s about (re)-establishing fairness and care for the people. He is also the kind of person who does the right thing when he can, with no hesitation or second purpose - not because of the much in fashion greed, that fills too many pages - how refreshing. It’s nearly as interesting to see that it doesn’t make him look like a pushover, as it is to read the cynical observation of a world who literally punishes him, when he saves innocents from a monster - because it did upset some god. Government, that protects the powerful instead of the people they are supposed to represent, are part of the background - making the world strangely relatable The MC seems pretty balanced, he has to be truly smart to grow safely and it’s still a mystery to know how much he’ll be able to do to protect humanity from the powerful abuses… There’s plenty to entertain, there are lots of not much know foreign mythological characters, contributing to a rich and colorful universe, which is truly a refreshing change (one can get tired of the usual dragons , phoenixes etc, +greek +nordic pantheon simple variations) Many thanks for the translation of this excellent pick End of 2x or 3x After the MC goes into a mythical world, it feels like an entirely different story, full of dragons and creatures - i can’t say i find the same interests in finding treasures and fighting to become an immortal -cand get stronger once again

29 (Possibly re read after 14 when better translation appears

85 - 4.5 different, yet full of same and a potential for a grand story if it doesn’t get lost in absurd day to day spats duplicate of https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_m_the_main_character_s_little_sister/ As someone commented : a not too un ordinary awakened gotta take care of a returnee, a regressor and a reincarnator and still manages to maintain her sanity Good family vibes, nice plot, great characters
