"They Had Us in the First Half, Not Gonna Lie"

In the groin? People forget words like hers are demeaning and would ruin self-esteem. From context she wasn't cruel to MC, as she was a friend, but she clearly wasn't kind either. At worst, she was an emotionally abusive brat who caused emotional harm to his self-esteem. At best, she was a...

More spoilers, since source WN is fairly.... flat, in terms of story depth. I mentioned in an earlier post about how "Revenge" stories fall into one of three ruts, right? ...then the crazy as hell "Zamaa" Japanese plot kicks in. (Literally that word, by author, in ed note.) And this story...

I'm dying inside a little bit every day, one day at a time. Where's my healing loli Shinigami? None? Oh. I'll just waste away in this corner here then. :fml:

Having stayed to the end: It wasn't horny. It was horror. "The horror.... the horror...." :shamihuh:

Artist may be new at dynamic movement or battle scenes. But storywise I guess point was to illustrate opponents battle without respect or honor. I may skim WN to see where this is headed, before passing final judgement.

Not sure this is the right place, but wanted to counter. Tying back to this: I really with authors wrote consistently motivated characters, start to finish, in their stories. They get caught up too much in genre drift. Perhaps due to the nature of fad cycles. Perhaps nature of episodic...

I appreciate the translation and upload. But a proofreader would go miles to improve legibility and flow. ...says the person too lazy to volunteer.

Problem with revenge flicks is the execution. Either it tends to peter out in the second half, and MC has some sort of plot-driven "mercy epiphany" (Death Mage)... ...or author has to spin up all sorts of horrid plot contrivances and saiyan powerups to keep writing chapters (Raul). (Or: the MC...

Eh.... not quite. I got off/stopped reading the LN about that point. By failing to simply kill Simon...

For the less-firearms literate: what the guy screwed on is called a "duckbill choke". Generally was used for riot-control to increase hit probability at chest-level, by limiting pellets to spread horizontally (instead of cone). In other words -- reducing likelihood of shooting a rioter in the...

Oh god. What series was that? So I can avoid it.

Y'know, I really would like it if some of these authors didn't keep trying to play the Eunuch trope with their MC. And also didn't go down the misogonistic abusive harem MC route either. Either make them realistic and mature enough to handle a housemate in their room. Or have actual progress...

So, having skimmed the side chapters since this didn't sound right... So this heads as poorly as I thought it would. It's not nuanced in its delivery (at least in the side stories) at all. Atelier Tanaka (the translated LN) is a better far better read. And highlights the "low EQ" vs "low IQ"...

What was written on the paper: I have low expectations of this. I am fine with an OP mc. Or even one with DSM issues like lowered self-worth due to abuse. Or willingness to cope with abusive friend out of dependency. But not one that is so idiotically detached from reality to not realize...

This.... seems a bit rote.

Came for the title potential "Tragedy" tag. :worry: Stayed for the "Confused Horny" tag. :dogkek:
