age gap... lil sus.

I am not defending rape culture, I am pointing out that this story's relationship to rape culture is a lot muddier than a lot of other stories. Believe me when I say that I am no fan to rape culture, but you're not exactly winning any friends with this frankly obnoxious rhetoric.

It's not bad, melodrama quotient is a bit high, but that's to be expected of a pulpy thriller mystery type story.

Huh... I'm not sure if the lead even knows she's gay, they haven't really clarified that. It does seem as if she only flirts with women when drunk, but I'm not sure if they aren't talking about it because it's a given that she understands about herself, or something she hasn't interrogated about...

Did you read the story? the hook is that the one who was drunk was the one taking initiative, the one who wasn't was just trying to give them a place to sleep it off.

Love to see an atypical take on tops and bottoms :V

So... chapter 15 is... a lot. The explanation of the metaphysics is messy, even confusing, though I understand enough to follow where it intersects with the main cut and thrust of the narrative. The reveal of Yuuka having a different but complementary power works fairly well, and explains why...

three different translations of chapter 52 and I still have no idea what the punchline was supposed to be.

Huh... two versions of the first chapter in two radically different and equally mid artstyles...

god... dammit Japan. Why in the fuck did you make the protag 13.

Okay... so both of them have memories of their prior lives in the last cycle, but the protag's seem to be incomplete?

That's a really cool concept, two people who struggle alone but are stronger together because their natures are complementary, good action gimmick and couple dynamic metaphor alike.

Man... Chinese imperial court political intrigue gets psychotic AF.

Huh... I was not expecting this series to get porny doujins... and this is set after volume 8? Hah, this story is so slow-burn that it took until the end of volume 12 for Toriko to know her own feelings, and Sorawo is still deeeeeep in denial at that point.

Man, every time I read a Korean story oriented around the entertainment industry, and "hot searches" come up, being famous in South Korea and subjected to that level of surveillance and control sounds nightmarish. I know celebrity tabloid culture in the west is also a mess, but is having a...

Okay yeah, they're definitely presenting Tzarist Russia as some shiny wonderland, which was... absolutely not in any way accurate, Pogroms (massacres) against Jewish people were common, the Tzars managed to get a bunch of people trampled to death at a poorly organized coronation, launched an...

Ah I see, a love... hexagon? Or just a Love Scribble, cuz those lines seem to be going all over the place.

Well this is... potentially quite messy. The Soviets were a bucket of fuck, but the Romanov family's imperial Tzarist rule was also brutal and monstrous, if this series tries to romanticize that... gonna be some oof if the series ends up taking either side.

Personally hoping that some plot development happens to trap them in girlmode :V

Chapter 13 seems... disjointed, maybe it's because I haven't read the previous chapters in a while, but the pacing seemed to jump to different scenarios with little explanation.
