ReviewRaptor's manga / #NOT INTERESTED(282)

Idiotic writing, lackluster all over to the art as well.

I'll make it short, so you don't waste as much time as I did reading this: - the MC is heavily dislikable and quite frankly stupid from chapter 1 already (feels often very Mary Sue-ish tbh) - the writing is nothing special and does a bad job many times - the shittily used trope of the mentally ill father is, yet again, seemingly only used to make him the hate-able male figure - the pace is odd - the character logic idiotic more often than not (also from the very start) - some stuff is not quite making sense (not sure if that is due to this being based on a novel and comic adaptors just cutting stuff away as they please) I honestly couldn't care less about this and the MC alone is reason enough for me to heavily dislike this. She's got no appeal other than being drawn pretty. That's literally it. And that's just not a good basis for a story. Give it a try. If you have seen these types of plots before, you are likely not gonna see anything new. If you haven't and you don't mind the issues I found or have lower standards than me in some of these things, you might find this enjoyable to read. it depends on the person.

Don't bother reading this. This is absolute wasted potential. The base story is really interesting, the boy being abused and wanting to leave by any means and the cruel prince that takes an interest in him because he's different. But the plot is entirely ruined by going for literally bloody rape, just 'cause. This could have been SO good if the author had went with a plot that had the ML be intrigued because the boy is so fearless and naive or just boldly speaks what he's asked. But no, we are going the shitty route of rape. Usually I can excuse the use of this shitty, low hanging fruit troop for bad writers. But this was just lazy and unnecessary. Going for an actual story instead of making this a typical smut fuckfest by any means and without care completely ruined it. It was nice for 3 chapters and then went to shit. So I'm not gonna waste my time with this even if the art is decent. I'd rather write my own version of this story than read this and hope for a sliver of better writing or let alone REASON for the ML. Just nope. This is only fap material for people with a questionable version of a rape kink and that ain't for me. So you do you, but I'm out.

Whoever is actually reading this shit because they find this fap-worthy: Please go get therapy, institutionalized or take your meds.

Spoiler-ish, so beware. There are quite a few issues with the pacing. I don't think it's the translation 100%, tho it could play into many moments being confusing and feeling jump cuttish. As if we missed some panels or weren't told some info. Or some things are just not entirely clear, like: Did they kiss or is he just thinking they did? Who knows. The story itself is very mild. The character and everything that's happening is just a bit bland, there is that certain hook-factor missing that makes me want to read more. Both when it comes to the story and the characters' personalities. It's likely a very rushed copy-cat type idea since, as many said, the game-irl meeting stories took off after Guildmate Next Door. But as a standalone it's really just a good read for younger readers who haven't developed a sense for cohesive writing and detailed stories with interesting aspects to it. I wouldn't recommend it for seasoned readers but it's probably a good read for younger ones/those with less experience. It's not bad but not good in my books either, so give it a try and see if you like it or not.

It's just a bit too bland for me. There's no real hook-factor in this. Neither the story nor the characters really make me want to read more. I stuck around for 54 chapters but it's really not great. Maybe less experienced readers may like it or it's decent if you are looking for something mild and chill, but it's not my thing.

Okay, I know what the base plot is supposed to be like but... this dialogue feels like it's written by a child. WTF. That is NOT how adults would argue in that kinda situation, please stop!

I just started reading and I have to say: Somehow the writing feels very strange. The character behavior feels quite inconsistent, random at times even and the affection from the MC towards the ML seems rather forced or random as well. As if the author didn't quite know how to make the transition to the next step they had put in the script of this story. Both characters aren't really likable or dislikable per se, so I'm not sure if this'll be interesting on the long run. It just feels off in quite a few ways and doesn't really have that hook factor as much as I thought it could have. I'll give it some more chapters but so far I'm not really at the point to add it to my 'Reading' list to get updates. I hope it gets better tho. XD EDIT: Dropped. The inconsistent and weird or even random behavior just annoys me. To top it off the author basically excuses all bad behavior from the ML with 'oh my, he touched my fingie! *turns into blushy shoujo maiden and acts friendly*'. This is just lackluster writing. r/im14andthisisdeep type stuff. :/
