Yeah the art is wonky sometimes, but I've seen worse. Bro mostly just needs to move their eyes a little closer together.
And the plot is completely self indulgent, but that's exactly what I signed up for, and I'm completely thrilled by the spoilers I've seen.
It knows what it's doing and accomplishes it's goal, I'm riding this train to the end.
Also I hope the cute maid gets to show up again.

Imma just keep reading until i see the mother first then see if it's still interesting after

While i don't mind seeing where this is headed (it's gonna be weird, but that's obvious), it kinda gets a bit boring and the girls are not really super interesting and pretty much erratic at this moment.

I'm always in favor of translating as little as possible to preserve as much as possible of the flavor of the original. A bento is a bento, a sensei is a sensei, and so on. In this case, switching from honorifics to Western forms of address not only move away from the original unnecessarily but also creates weirdly stilted dialogue that no Westerner would every use and no Japanese speaker would recognize.
Well no westerner uses -kun or -sama, but as i said, ill change

Thanks, when I understand wanting to make a straight translation it is a bit weird to read "mr" used towards someone in Japan, even more if is a student.
The yandere in heat using -san or sama fits more...maybe even master as she is a M.
That said...IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEE!!!!!!!

Yeah, your argument is STILL stupid as hell, because my angle from the start was that this is bad even AS a wish fulfillment fantasy.
Your initial argument was literally just "the writing is bad". Even if I supposed that your original two thoughts were connected, you still didn't grasp the core of the work back then.

Writing that doesn't come off as stiff and artificial even at the most superficial glance?
Supposing your assessment is credible, how does this impede the purpose of the story?

Characters that behave even remotely like human beings (even conceding all sort of comedic and dramatic exaggerations) or AT least consistently with their previous selves from panel to panel?
Are you just realizing that yandere wish fulfillment is liable to preclude said yandere heroine(s) from behaving as human beings as opposed to avatars of lust and love? Mind you, I find the archetype fascinating (in all its varieties), but it doesn't take long to figure out that it's an inherently selfish fantasy that's ironically about a person that's selfish despite presenting as the opposite.

Also, see above.

A way to frame the "wish fulfillment" in a way that doesn't seem like a 12 years old with mild autism and limited connection to reality wrote it?
Why does it have to be "connected to reality"? What does that have to do with the apparent purposes of the narrative? If it was "connected to reality", we'd be looking at two women with BPD, and it's less likely that the intended readership wants to self-insert into a story about women with BPD. Also, see above.

Again, I'm not arguing that the story isn't bad-- I'm arguing that your criticism is wasted on a story that never indicates to you that it wants to be anything more than naked wish fulfillment.

You're now insisting "it's bad even as wish fulfillment"... but you're still evaluating it by things other than whether it fulfills wishes. Even what I'm now responding to just tacks the words "wish fulfillment" on, without actually addressing the matter-- the essence of the question is you feeling that this is written in a juvenile way.

Look at most of the people in this thread discussion or any other one for this work-- do you think they care about what you're concerned about? Of course not.

They certainly don't disagree with you. They're not going to square up to defend the narrative and thematic quality of "What Happens When You Save Two Beautiful Sisters Who Hate Men Without Telling Them Your Name?".

But what do you see them talking about, overwhelmingly?

There are even explicit HENTAI out there that are written on more consistent logic and believable characters than this.
But it wouldn't matter if they weren't.

You don't consume 18+ material for the narrative. Such narratives and narrative contexts only "need" to create contexts that provoke fetishistic responses.

If you need to cut paper, a Swiss Army knife is great, but you're not any more deprived in that situation by only having a pair of scissors.

Other users already mentioned a bunch of examples of other "ecchi series" that flow way better (you dismissed them, incidentally--
I did more than "dismiss" them. I argued that the entire argument was coming from the wrong angle, and was responding to positions I neither took nor cared about.

You didn't ask for clarifications. You were just lashing out--
No, I was mocking you. I was having fun at your expense. And all things considered, it was very mild and perfunctory mockery that wouldn't have stuck so hard if you didn't feel the need to go to the lab to cook up 20 different ways to call me "stupid" in response.

With everything that's been said, I still don't think my original assumption was dishonest or otherwise misguided-- you are imposing inappropriate critical standards on this work, demonstrably even when you claim that you're imposing appropriate ones.

But even taking at face value this new emergency reframing you are now attempting,
This is coming from the guy who keeps trying to say "the writing was bad" was actually "the writing was bad, even as a wish fulfillment fantasy".

This isn't an emergency reframing, by the way, and it isn't inherently about whether you have to prove yourself to me. Anybody who makes an argument has a duty to establish why other people should care about what they're saying. That includes myself, which is why I expressed those principles using myself.

That's what an argument is for. Anything else is at best casual conversation, and at worst shouting at a person.

Jesus Christ, that's once again a whole lot of words to say absolutely fucking nothing of relevance.

Way to MISS every single mark you attempted to hit, too.

Whatever you say-- you wouldn't even tag me for this comment clearly responding to me.

I never really cared about Highschool DxD one way or the other
The fact that you dont care is of no importance when talking about the quality of somethings...
The story i mentioned have story that are logical and well constructed, you can like it or not it wont change.

If I don't know anything about Highschool DxD, then the only thing I can do is take your word for it. Otherwise, your example is nothing but a namedrop that has zero value to me.

As I opened with, though, you were responding to a position I never took.

well, they went from casting off all men to wanting to be impregnated and enslaved after one act of kindness. It's clear their thought processes are beyond our mortal understanding.

lol the true victim of this chapter. Can we ship her with MC instead of the 2/3 red flags nuclear warheads that are the current girls?
Poor girl doesn't get paid enough to clean the mess that two ;) girls made, I agree she should be shipped with the mc nothing in common is needed she just doesn't need to be a "jf-17 thunder"

i put a lot of time into these ”sex scenes” so i hope yall liked it, i had to research a fuckton of noises and stuff so it wasnt very pleasant, anyways, i think ill change over to japanese honorifics even though im against it as its not a full translation, should i provide a list of the honorifics with their politeness level and meaning or yall think its fine without?
I definitely like to have honorifics included. They're very important for conveying the tone and characters' attitudes towards each other, and since there's no direct analogue in English, you either have to try and come up with substitutes, which is hard, or leave them out, which then you lose information.

When we have story with heavy fanservice like Mato Seihei no Slave, Highschool DxD and Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete who also have decent story, there is no reason to think that trash like this is "normal" for a fanservice heavy manga.
Lmao Highschool DxD is pretty shit tbh, its only remembered as the goat bc it was one of the first popular ecchi's. Mato Seihei is pretty good though. IDK abt Akogarete.
