This is cute, I give it 8/10. I like the setup, and would normally give it a 9, but the manga puts so much focus on cooking and eating delicious food, that the fantasy world aspect seems to get increasingly forgotten. The anime is better in that aspect.

OK, this is worse in nearly every way, compared to Reborn as a Slime. That said, it's got some interesting ideas. 7.5/10. Its faults can mostly be attributed to an inexperienced writer, and a rewrite would fix them - so I was annoyed to watch the anime and find that it's exactly the same...

Mmm, not bad, but it kinda feels like a budget version of Dragon Maid. 7/10. You'd think the ero-mangaka part would distinguish it, but the Dragon Maid author is also a pervert so the overall mood ends up the same, except in comparison this one is kind of missing the serious part Dragon Maid...

Interesting. I give this trashy trashy thing a 7/10. This is basically a normal romcom except every pervy event is set up by the FMC for nefarious purposes. The setup is nice and it's transitioning nicely into the mid-game, but a manga like this makes or breaks it depending on the ending. I...

Meh. 5/10. This manga over-exaggerates things too much to be serious, but not enough to be funny. It's like it's written by a 12-year-old. Minus an extra point for having a half-elf with one pointy ear and one round one. That's not how hybrids work, that's how chimeras work.

Hm, I rate this as about 7.5/10. The manga is a fairly fresh combo of the "unknowing badass" and "dungeon streamer" genres. Yuuto, the protagonist, does his household tasks, doing gardening, killing bugs, etc - but unknown to him, his house is a Dungeon zone, the bugs are high-level monsters...

Diamond rings for marriage is a perversion of the original intent. The point is that you are giving her a gift with high resale value, so she can pawn it if you die and your relatives throw her out. Jewelry in general is great for good value-to-weight ratio. But diamond rings have shit resale...

This is the good stuff. 9.5/10. Two gender-noncomforming siblings meet an ancient cursed snake-lady in a forbidden forest, decide she's their best friend now, and make a point of involving her in their lives from then on. Wholesome horror comedy with good world-building. IMO it just needs a...

Interesting. If the demoness turns out to be an actual enemy, but still has standards and avoids collateral damage, I'll be a bit impressed. But it still feels like it will turn out she's the dragon's best buddy or something and just wanted to take care of her child...

Eh. Not bad, not great. 6/10. I feel like there have been a lot of exiled alchemist stories lately. This one doesn't stick out from the crowd. It doesn't do anything new, and it doesn't flawlessly execute the basics. The worldbuilding is meh, and there are no impressively creative solutions...

How long has this tribe been here? Hundreds of years? And in that time, nobody ever explored the cave right next to their city? Even if they were starving and would welcome a bit of grilled spider? Not even for a dare?

Basically everything is pretty good about this except for the names. I give it 7.5/10. The main character's name is "Pastry", "Pas" for short. That's not even how nicknames work XP His dad's name is "Casserole", btw. Currently I'm reading about their visit to castle Oingo Boingo, I mean...

I like the non-action better, but if the author wants to flex their drawing muscles for a few chapters, that's OK. It kind of accentuates the difference between the dragon lands and normal school life.

This would make a good setup for a "yo mama" joke...

Eugh. I give this 5/10, based on the first few chapters. I guess this manga gets better later judging by the other ratings, but I've been reading the beginning chapters and they are, IMO, trashy enough that the later ones can't be worth the journey. Most of the world and its characters is...
