axima's manga / #Magic(173)

Where's the romance at bro? The plot twist about her past was cool but otherwise it's pretty mediocre.

Better than the one that got an anime. They don't try to make the other girl out to be some poor victim of circumstance while she's living the high life without giving a fuck about anyone else. ML is a pretty interesting character. Priest is the perfect supporting role, I expect to see an old man in every isekai from now on. All of them have useful abilities, including the cat, so it doesn't feel like any of them are dragging mc down. The plot is interesting as well. I'm on the verge of giving this 5 stars.

Pretty good, just not really what I was looking for. Starts like an above average op mc story, then slowly becomes more and more about character development and deeper issues. I just wanna see a cool guy doing cool shit, and to be honest just can't bring myself to like the side characters so I ended up not that interested.

I didn't know this got canceled... Pretty solid overall. Not sure if Sieg or Lynx are the ML but Sieg's surprisingly cute after he gets cleaned up so it works. FL is fine too. They don't go in to much detail with the potion making but the plot is more about characters and interpersonal relations so it works.

The ML is super cute but so far that's all it has going for it.

I would've given it a 4 if it wasn't for Darius the homewrecker. First he tells her to pay with her body when the country is at stake and she's willing to offer him money/land/whatever, then he tries to rape her and assaults her numerous times, then to top it off he calls her his woman like she isn't already taken. I don't understand why they haven't killed this dickhead for treason.

As per usual, I much prefer series where the FL is already in love so this gets a bunch of brownie points to start off with. She uses her knowledge to help out (making up for her utter lack of magic). Demon king is one of those awkward nice types that's used to everybody hating him. All around solid although it hasn't been long enough for much to happen.

FL is kinda dumb, constantly trying to help shitty people and refusing to accept power for no reason...

The romance is too messy. They introduced a forgotten childhood friend that she clearly had a thing for but are pushing another dude as the ML.

Hard to say if it's a 3 or 4 because by the end of it I was too exhausted to leave a review. From what I can piece together of my memories, it started off strong then went downhill, then plateaud. The mc really doesn't speak up for herself as much as she should, and the angst aspect isn't developed enough for it to be an enjoyable tragedy instead. It's hard to decide if the ML is bad or good. As a kid he seemed nice just kinda dumb, teenager went full imbecile but still had good intentions, at the reunion it became a bit inexcusable and I really wish the FL called him out on it instead of just brushing over everything when they "make up". He sort of redeemed himself at the end but eh... The reincarnation aspect is pretty useless as well, they try to tie it in like she accepts her other self but the whole thing feels tacky and has no lasting effects.
