"I likes ya, and I wants ya, and we can do this the easy way or the popopo way; the choice is yours."

When I was in college, there was actually an interesting article I read about "burriko" which was the tendency of Japanese women to speak in a higher-pitched, more "cutesy" voice in certain situations. It's kind of a reflection of gender roles in Japan, like if I remember correctly it usually...

I sure hope that app is protecting its data...it would be a shame if another gender-segregated social app had its user's information leaked :smugnako: I don't mean to insult the brave men/women/etc. who translated this but out of the three student survival isekai I'm aware of including this...

Zamn, it got cancelled? Wow that sucks incredibly hard. I wonder why people weren't a fan of it? Maybe because the protagonist loses pretty hard at least once? Yeah let's go with that.

The Moe-Industrial Complex is all-consuming and unrelenting. Dokidoki or die baka. Edit: I thought of this just now but there are an alarming number of Romance slice-of-life manga that all have the same exact striped pajamas the female lead wears. Maybe it's a default texture/material on some...

Really rugpulled us with the guy turning out to be the less thirsty one

I was actually wondering recently if like, this is kind of a stretch, but if part of it is because there was no scandal with manga similar to the "Seduction of the Innocent" book that let to public outcry in the US and the creation of the Comics Code Authority, where the industry self-censored...

Further than that, it seems like they have a "bathing culture" in general; between baths, public baths, hot springs, etc. so it could be about it being a step beyond that. But that's just rationalization; I would say there's some level of Nationalism going on. Less so that they believe they are...

hmmm...yeah that was a bit of a jump for the sake of a joke. Yeah I was wrong on that

Hey, I'm trying to get off of it 😖 Regardless, when I pull some of this stuff up it's kind of like...I've seen it but it's not like I would ever read it again? Still, breaking away from a habit you've had for a long time is hard.

A webnovel writer doesn't have the sauce to do this. They don't have the gumption, the audacity. They merely adopted the goon, but mangaka were born in it, molded by it. To be serious though I think there's a connection between being an artist and having a bit more "nuanced" sexual tastes...

As an extension of "tropes you're happy are gone", what are tropes that you have found weird to have seen multiple times? Obviously "weird" is a bit subjective, but that's good for variety innit? In my case when I say "weird" I mean why would someone come up with this more than once/why is this...

A sub with no clear boundaries is a bad sub. We can even see this from how from the beginning she may have those desires but she hasn't really made an attempt to understand herself.

I finally caught up. Speed reading this, I saw the complaints people had about arcs dragging on too long; I actually noticed that with the last arc as well in the past, and honestly it's sort of weird, in a sense. Like I suppose this is probably not a Shonen Jump-frequency manga but some nice...

Depends on how "all powerful" they really are I guess. I feel like the premise becomes increasingly scuffed the more overpowered you make the protagonist and the more corrupt you make the society until you're reaching a point where it becomes increasingly strange why they would not at least try...

I had to look this up, but that puts a name to the complaints I've had about a lot of "Well everyone else buys slaves, I might as well buy one" morality. I'd like to see more characters that have a genuine personal sense of morality but I guess you wouldn't be getting that in something like...

I find I dislike the trope regardless. I find myself still reading this out of curiosity when a new chapter pops up despite essentially knowing the plot, but the spite-driven power fantasy that puts up a facade of being cooler with a protagonist who is "easy-going", "calm", or "just a chill...

We need more wholesome "playboy" characters, please I beg you

Maybe in a way the relationship we have with light novels in the West has changed; they are to some degree more accessible these days with official translations in English and I assume other languages, whereas in the 2000s and early 2010s when a lot of these older completed or "completed" light...

We have gone from a childhood friend being a dream to being a nightmare...I feel like this says some concerning things about society
