First time using forums so idk how everything works but, THANK YOU to the new translation group. I love this manga but translations came in so slowly it was hard to follow the story

 

[glitterleo]

more chapters please

Hopefully, someone with more free time will pick this manga up.

I like how, due to her immobility, the fights are completely in Tower Defense mode.

Manga about traptrix....

The series is obnoxiously horny. Being reincarnated as a stationary plant and slowly growing your abilities and sphere of influence is a great hook, but most of the pages are spent on her getting molested by various enemy plants and animals. She also abducts a child and makes him into such an addict of her nectar so that the rest of his life is spent searching for her so he can get a fix. It really ruins a great premise.

Nah, is good! The more horny, the better!

Starting at volume 4 it looks like she regressed? Good for @ForTheJerusalem

IIRC, there was also a chinese manhua with a reincarnated-as-a-plant-ish premise ("Evolution From a Tree") but it too got horny at weird moments (if less frequently) and then and then also devolves into that series' MC

Spoiler

waging war on humanity without really trying to talk through anything; a lot of weird edgelord stuff. I mean, manhua, so not shocking it rambled off, but still!

Correlation-is-causation: People are weird about being turned into plants! :'p

Anyway. I'm not totally convinced as far as I read it that this one is so much a "waste of a good premise"—that is, I wasn't really convinced the author has any terribly clever ideas of what to do with it anyway, if they were to pull their mind out of the gutter. "Waste of a good writing prompt", maybe? Like, it seemed like it might have the capacity to do okay as a monster-of-the-week action series premise in this format for a while, but where does one go from there?

Honestly: What would you do if you made your protagonist into a half-plant? There's an odd narrative restriction here from the start—everything has to come to the protagonist, the protagonist can never venture forth and never see anything new—that kind of flattens 80% of the lazy isekai plot beats these things are constructed on. It's seemingly written fundamentally as an adventure story, which just accentuates that awkwardness.

It could probably work with the town-building set of isekai tropes, I guess?

Ironically, I note, if it's all about brain-dead horny stuff instead, all that's not an issue. It'd also be a non-issue if it were about, say, a (non-horny) romance. Plot arcs that are social in nature don't have to care if the protagonists never go anywhere! And there's plenty of cool stuff you can do with a plant-person protagonist! But this—effectively an action-adventure isekai—this feels like it's an uphill battle against being one of those 'the premise is the protagonist is nonhuman' isekai where despite that being the whole premise, the protagonist necessarily just becomes more human and the plot more generic as the author runs out of ideas of what to do with it.

It's hard to call this great. It's another monster development saga following in the well-worn footsteps of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and So I'm a Spider, So What? The art gets the job done, but no more than that, and the writing's similar.

But I love it anyway! Alraune-san is an endearing hero, and her immobility adds an interesting twist to the formula. Would be happy to see this series go for at least another few volumes. Fingers crossed...

Which one is it similar to? I really liked the spider one, until she murdered a bunch of people, and I'm worried that this will go the same way. I guess I'll put off reading this until this comment gets a response.
