After literal decades of romantic dramas/comedies where main characters getting together was reserved for the last chapter of the series, in the late 2010s/early 2020s a bunch of authors finally came to the same realization their audience had years ago: that fucking sucked, and there were far...

My enthusiasm over this series actually letting the two MCs date came crashing in to the ground with Gojo's unwillingness to even hold her fucking hand on a date.

I can't help but notice Mangadex changed the name from "What's Wrong with being the Villainess" to a much sloppier "Isn't being a wicked woman much better?" Like yeah, they mean roughly the same thing, but the first one is a reasonable native English localization, while the second one reads...

@matthiasIsGud If you're unaware of it, read Do Chokkyuu Kareshi x Kanojo. The main couple don't have time to spend faffing about with this will they won't they stuff, so they just go for it. There's a secondary romance starring the main girl's little sister that I honestly couldn't give less of...

God damn, this is what a series should be. No spinning wheels, just steady progress.

Oh man, that was close. There was almost progress, good thing the author dodged it. If there's one thing I want to avoid at all costs in a romance story, it's plot progression.

Am I crazy or is she just straight up missing a leg on the last page?

@TimeVolt I wish more Isekai just dumped the idea of a cheat skill entirely. It's such a power fantasy wankfest every time.

@pato Anyone who wipes from the back to the front grew up alone in the wilderness.

"He thought it was just an accident that he got sent back a thousand years by a rogue lightning strike." Unless this is a universe where lightning is just known to do that, this dude is a fucking moron.

Thank god, I was worried there would be any meaningful progress. Well, not really. It's a romcom manga, after all, and those things avoid character development like the plague.

Too legit to quit (being a yakuza)

@VF89 I'd appreciate you not tagging me to weigh in on a conversation from 4 months ago just so you can virtue signal as a fake buddhist.

Ehhh, that's kinda iffy on the statutory rape thing. For one thing, he's at least 16 based on his grade. That's around when guys reach sexual maturity. This isn't some 12 year old kid who maybe hasn't even learned what sex is yet. If you age both characters up by even 2 years, it would be...

This dude thinks "I am rubber, etc." Is still a good comeback.

@Middleware you're projecting a fucking lot of "political" baggage onto this obviously-an-S&M-fetish manga. Then again, it's safe to assume the kind of person you are considering your unironic use of the term beta male. Only one type of person in the incel fantasy of betas and chads uses the...

@flannan I would never criticize someone for what they read and enjoy. That's entirely subjective, and opinions are just that. However, I will ABSOLUTELY criticize authors that think, "My series is the exact same as the 50 I'm copying, but THIS time the lead guy is bitter about life," is good...

@Nep Guy focused as in...guy focused. The ones that are about guys who girls don't like ending up in fantasy land with, always, a "cheat ability" and a harem.

It's so weird how all guy focused isekais focus on RPG game worlds, but all girl isekais instead focus on otome LNs. I seriously can't get over how there appears to be dozens or hundreds of authors in Japan so bereft of creative talent that they all just crib the exact same two ideas. This shit...

8man, I don't think anyone doesn't get that in some other cultures the swastika is a symbol of peace and whatever, but here's a cultural newsflash: You aren't talking to anyone that's a part of that culture. You're talking to a bunch of people who know it for one thing, and one thing only, and...
