    Cylcia=Code - Vol. 4 Ch. 24

    I think I follow.... so Kiryuu is that guy a bunch of chapters ago that hit on the MC. Who for some reason got permission to see the MC. Who wants to overcome his past memories... I kinda follow and somehow still feel confused. I'm not gonna lie, the aforementioned discussions that this story...

    Shogi Senpai

    I presume the author can theoretically can do a new chapter anytime he wants and post to twitter and eventually somebody will translate for us here. But I do wonder with the serialization that I should move my follow to from Reading to Completed

    Bandai Kaname wa Asobitai - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - From the slider that summer

    @givemersspls Okay, so you do get the part she is communicating that she is wishing him health, communicating that she cares about him. However, this instance is different than your example. Presuming on the merits of the example itself only (as I have no reference to the story nor the other...

    Bandai Kaname wa Asobitai - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - From the slider that summer

    @givemersspls Because that's not my total point. Why do you think everyone else is calling this chapter "progress" and receiving this chapter positively but your opinion is distinctly negative? It's not just because of a difference in opinion, if they read the chapter in the same way as you did...

    Bandai Kaname wa Asobitai - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - From the slider that summer

    @givemersspls You missed a subtext in the lines Bandai was communicating in her speech. I would start my explanation with a really good picture I once saw of the same trope, but I can't find it. So I have to make due with https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jokermourning_8002.jpg. It's...

    Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku - Vol. 2 Ch. 9

    This just made me realize something. It's fun following Bertia playing matchmaker. That essentially what the early chapters of Bakarina was. Sure, it's technically different but thematically the same. Katrina's antics was funny and it was fun to watch her befriend the cast. And while Bertia is...

    "Otome/Villainess" theme tag

    Good question. And I think this vagueness is why it haven't coalesce into a fitting word despite readers can identify what series would be in the same category or not. Here's my best stab. The elements shared by all are Core Element - MC having a point of "epiphany" - MC alters the future of...

    I'm a Villainous Daughter, so I'm going to keep the Last Boss - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    This has a weird "taste". I like Otome Isekai a lot so I keep biting over-and-over. But this one is odd to me. I think related in what lies between in the conflict between @saito197 and @ojoudere. It's not the MC is being a thot or not - it's the framing of the whole thing. There's a jarring...

    "Otome/Villainess" theme tag

    In the past week alone we got at least 3 more Otome Villainess Isekai ("The Banished Villainess!, Living the Leisurely Life of a Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food", "The Villainess Want to Marry a Commoner!!, "I’m a Villainous Daughter, so I’m going to keep the Last Boss") I'm not sure the...

    Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - Vol. 7 Ch. 34.2

    A bit late to raise this, a huge stretch, and completely different media - but was anyone else reminded of Rick and Morty? I noticed and can see this chapter with the two character's behavior, depicted powerful level of the older mage, and the mage's oopsie moment all sound like it happen in the...

    @Acolytus - I guess you just identified a major pattern of Otome/Re-do Isekai. MC is always trying to avoid their bad fate. It's funny when it's just a few like when it was just Bakarina. It sets up being a funny for the audience knowing while the character not knowing (and most Otome Isekai...

    Isekai Kenkokuki - Vol. 3 Ch. 23.2

    I raised my eyebrow too at the conscripts being high morale. But the comparison is mercenaries. Not paid professional soldiers, mercenaries - there's a difference. Mercenaries are not known for high morale either. Money is no good if you're dead. Machiavelli hated mercenaries because are...

    Welcome to Japan, Elf-san! - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Welcome to Japan, Elf-san. (2)

    Read this chapter before going to work, enjoyed it, came back and see a flame war. It's 2 lines people! More like 2 half-sentences and people are digging up WW2! One of the lines sounds like a translator word choice! This chapter fits right into an IRL experience of a tourist in Japan. I...

    Akuyaku Reijou no Tsuihougo! - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - You weren’t supposed to have so much fun after being punished

    @skytempest I feel this is like a mix of Bakarina + Duke's Daughter + Lady Rose Wants to be a Commoner. Duke's Daughter as the story opens at the point game's ruinous ending. Bakarina because unlike Duke's Daughter for she reincarnates as a kid with a pretty upbeat tone. Lady Rose Wants to be a...

    This Villainess Wants a Divorce! - Vol. 1 Ch. 11

    @Ruruskadoo I can offer you three more for your list - though both have some semi-personal caveats I will put in spoilers if it worth adding to your reading list or not. The Abandoned Empress - I actually like this one a lot, but I also have a lot to say. It's not an Isekai, but time-travel...

    Cylcia=Code - Vol. 3 Ch. 21

    @tuatara1 Isn't the fact so many can't follow the story a sign of why it is cancelled? A badly told story don't win a lot readers. Or at least in theory.

    I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble's Daughter from a Shoujo Manga - Vol. 1 Ch. 3.5

    @PsychoJing - I mean it's something common enough that if someone got randomly isekai'ed, it's plausible enough the person either knows how or knows enough to figure it out without large scenes of trial-and-error (something manga isekai stories also tend to skip a lot, major exception to stories...

    I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble's Daughter from a Shoujo Manga - Vol. 1 Ch. 3.5

    @Porg - I do like one aspect of it. It fits well to "the mother of invention is necessity". She smells like shit, so she invents soap. I also like how it fits narratively too. Soap is relatively easy to make and something a lot of people know. Meanwhile there was a time in recent history...

    This Villainess Wants a Divorce! - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    5D chess mode is playing both sides. 2D checkers is still being the villainess but slightly upgraded with novel knowledge. I'm betting on 5d chess. I do hope this is a start of her becoming her own faction in a game of thrones than a start of "misunderstandings".

    Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! - Vol. 3 Ch. 25 - Kouhai and Kouhai's Mom

    @ac1d1c It's been answered like 6 times already in the comments. Coffee Beans are white until roasted. I just learned that too but I read the comments.
