HyouganeMiyagi's activites

God, is that girl annoying! I am supposed to root for someone who is nearly an adult yet doesn't know how to treat people like humans? "I didn't have parents" is not a good enough excuse for acting the way she does. Buddy, you had everything else. Until recently, you were the only female offspring that the duke had. You were the tentative heir and all the privileges that came with it. You never had a competition threatening your future until now. So, why are you such a bitch to everyone! I can understand your aggression against the other candidate and the fact that you're on edge but you are old enough to know right from wrong, to know not to treat other people the way you do. You are old enough to control your impulses and to not abuse the people serving you. Why is the story writing trying to potray her as the victim when she is out there degrading, assaulting and abusing the servants for no good reason but also, presenting the other potential heir as the embodiment of evil for acting antagonistic towards the MC when she does clearly have a reason for it?

This is why I hate this breed of self-insert fanfiction that has oversaturated all genres of manga and related art forms. They struggle to remain consistent with themselves even for a single chapter. These works are worse than Mary Sue. This is Mary's mom, Deux ex machina, who earlier used to stay in the background taking care of everything for her dear princess but apparently she wanted her own time to shine. This MC does not make a compelling hero protagonist. She needs to be an antagonist who either gets reformed after an encounter with the protagonist or learns their place once and for all.

There's a very good reason why there exists the time-honored tradition of these flawed characters only being deuteragonists, tritagonists, secondary characters, arc antagonist, main villain and such, but rarely a hero. Even the stories that do feature them as a protagonist uses them to teach a lesson to readers to not be like the protagonist. Because they just don't work. Presenting them as the POV "positive" character in a hero vs villain story just makes the inconsistency in logic blatantly obvious. Such stories should not, then, expect the reader to cheer for such a protagonist while simultaneously booing the supposed villain, when there's hardly a difference between the two. Often the villain is more sympathetic.

But, no, centuries of literary tradition was stupid, according to a certain generation of people, for not writing their protagonists as OP, infallible gods that must be worshipped unquestioningly. Character growth, to them, is so uncool. So, they decided to correct the course of literature and ended up suffocating the whole genre with their chuunibyou fantasies.

Also, the setting is just so hilarious that I can't look past it. Isn't the power transfer thing just like primogeniture? It has never crossed the minds of a single royal family that they needed to kill all their other kids once the tentative heir safely survived to adulthood and produced the next generation of potential heirs. Why the hell do they need to kill the other daughters once one of them manifests the power? Nothing makes sense here. If the duke only needs one daughter to manifest the power and then, must kill the rest, what does he keep the son around for? Since only daughters can inherit the mystical power, and you are supposed to kill the ones who don't, what are they having sons for? Shouldn't they be killing male offsprings at birth, then? Is it that only males in the family can produce female offsprings capable of inheriting the power? If not, why kill non-mystical daughters and not sons? Even evilness should make some logical sense, come on.

Given this ridiculous background, I even understand the duke not caring about the MC. He is not exactly a father to either of those girls, yet. He's just a boss (more like a master) who happens to be genetically related to them. I sympathize as well. Given that these people are expected by some higher power to kill the spares, it just makes sense to treat female offsprings as a tool, until the heir has been decided, and only then, adopt the winner as your child. After all, you shouldn't mix up your pets and your livestock or else you'd end up with neither.

Seems like every creep that was exposed and disgraced by #MeToo has found a new start as main characters in the romance genre.

Who is ML bro trying to fool! Faithful friend? That's certainly a new euphemism. Isn't that a bit too much given the real nature of his feelings for the MC? I guess we can only count our blessings that, at least, he hasn't tried to convince us that he thinks of him as a brother.

Normal people are warned to stay away from this. Only the first couple of chapters are enough to discern that this is gonna be problematic on so many levels.

The MC is creepy, entitled, unlikeable and has a very twisted on human relationships. At his ripe old age of 31, that guy still believes in the deranged nonsense that you can't love someone and prioritize them and trust them to do the same for you unless they are romantically interested in you.

The ex is a straight guy who used to be the closest friend to MC but he got involved with the MC in the wrong way because the MC was a dishonest friend that deliberately misled him for his own nefarious intentions, the ex himself was suffering under the delusion that your closest social relationship has to be romantic, and all this came together into causing him to confuse his friendly love for the MC as romantic interest.

The ML is 23, barely out of college intern, who is apparently so sex-starved that he mixes up the idolization and admiration that he feels for a highly accomplished senior professional in his field, nearly a decade older than himself, with sexual desire. And unfortunately, for this exceedingly immature person, he gets manipulated by that senior, who would be morally expected to nip such problematic sexual interactions in the bud and help a confused young colleague see wisdom, but instead that perverted creep decides to take advantage of the mistake in judgement made by his much younger newbie, who is very, very junior to him in a professional as well social sense, and decides to turn in into an opportunity to exploit the boy to satisfy his own twisted fetishes.

This pervert just cannot help himself but be obsessed with people who are strictly off-limits. Why can't he go after other androphilic men, closer in age and hierarchy, instead of chasing straight men and cradle robbing? What are you, James Charles?

I just can't comprehend how so many people are liking these Donald Trumps and Harvey Weinsteins, that these kinds of plotlines have multiplied like cockroaches and absolutely overwhelmed the entire shoujo(includes josei, shounen ai, yaoi, and a good chunk of shoujo ai and yuri as well) library completely. These days you have to root around in a mountain of turd, to find a sane story with normal people as characters.

I haven't read too far in yet. Only upto where you find out that the MC's lost his best friend and almost his whole team who were cruelly killed fighting a war that the "God" of their world is forcing them to fight. He is a war veteran suffering from severe PTSD, survivor's guilt and debilitating levels of grief who wishes to die but is being pushed to live because friends that he lost in that dungeon each saddled him with a last wish hoping that sense of duty will keep him alive until he can somehow heal. I hadn't really expected, given the yaoi tags on this story, that I would find this stirring of a story writing, and difficult topics like being handled respectfully instead of being shoved in just for the sake of drama and fear factor. But, now I am worried about reading further. Because I am loving this now but since this is going to turn into romance sooner or later, I am not going to able to finish this and stay just as happy at the end of it. I don't want to be disappointed so I am just going to stop here and leave with good memories instead of risking any further chapters. I just wish they'd kept romance completely out of this or made it so minimal that no one realises it was even there. Why the hell does a story that starts so well have to be a romance? This deserves to be a action-thriller-character development manga similar to shounen genre.

Another one in the trashcan. The heck was that "isn't one's life more important than family. You are wasting your life away if you can't get a lover". Of all the insane, brain rot! What sort of a statement is that. And why is it being presented as a moral of the story moment instead of a bro, you're unhinged and need help moment. Like, bro, dude, if your family hadn't wasted their own lives away, staked their futures, compromised their own selfish interests for your sake, if they had not chosen to share their lives with you, you'd have been lucky if you survived long enough to spew this kind of nonsense. No one needs a lover. Sexual relationships are completely optional and trivial but you would be no one and nothing without a family. Family is part of your life, the most important part of it.

This is why no matter what recent manhwas, manhuas and webtoons all together could not match the quality of a random manga from a couple decades ago. Because apparently all the writers have turned into horny teenagers without a brain or a heart who are able to spew whatever nonsense that comes to their mind before passing it through the sanity check that one's training and the editorial department would have provided. Something is seriously weird with the yaoi and shounen ai writers. Why is shoujo not nearly as problematic even though they also focus on sexual relationships, but this genre can't hardly last one story without dozens of problematic instances? Even yuri doesn't f**k up as frequently even though those are also stories coming from a historically stigmatized and fetishized homosexual background.

This is practically poly in all but name. Perhaps the only tragic poly yaoi out there. These three idiots should've just kicked sexual compatibility and ABO bullshit to the curb, married each other and spent their lovey dovey platonic happily ever after together. I am glad that at least they're all together at the end even if there is no formal declaration. The two alphas are soulmates through and through. The omega and wolf alpha are cleary very into each other. The omega also appears to be attracted to the snake alpha and more importantly, definitely cares for him. The snake alpha similarly cares for the omega as well. Who gives a shit about sexual attraction when you share such a deep friendship where you love and care for each other so much!

At chapter 4, I'm gonna drop it. I will absolutely not stand for stories that will encourage the perception that romantic relationships can compete with and should take greater priority over family and friends. You want drama, do it among romantic relationships. Don't bring in friendships and family unless it is to put entitled sexual relationships in their place. Filial, fraternal, parental and friendship bonds are far too sacred, far too pure and far too important to be put in the category as romantic relationships. This is clearly going to end up with the uke getting his disgusting fetish fulfilled of wanting to displace his boyfriend's lifelong friend as the closest person to him. This is going to end up with the seme treating a sexual partner as more important than a friend. Knowing how shitty yaoi plots can be, they'll probably even end up portraying the deep love and loyalty between the childhood friends as stemming from sexual attraction as well. Because apparently some people are so unhealthy that they have no real relationships, no life left outside of sexual interaction. Unlike normal people, these people are apparently incapable of loving and cherishing people unless they're f**ing them. In their heads, even the most fundamental relationship of humanity, the core unit that makes us human, makes us intelligent, social animals in the first place, the relationships between a parent and their child may be treated as a expendable stepping stone for the sake of something as trivial as a romantic association. I don't understand why more of you don't recognise this for how problematic this is. I, for one, am not going to sit through these kinds of shitty stories.

Bro is annoying, clingy, entitled and doesn't know his place. Honestly, good riddance. The first seme dodged a bullet.

Got too comfortable with the soft, fantastical, almost shoujo atmosphere of this manga. But, it slipped off into creepy, mental disorder territory quickly. The MC - ML relationship is nothing but whitewashed grooming. In fact, it's even worse than that. The ML is technically the MC's child. He adopts him when the ML was a recently orphaned toddler and raises him. But, that relationship turning sexual is being treated as completely normal instead of being treated like the psychological medical emergency that it actually is.

You may still be able to somehow detach yourself from that background, which is certainly possible because that father-son dynamic only exists in flashbacks and the current MC and ML act just like two random young people and not really in a manner that would fit their respective character histories. Because their current versions are so out of character given the past that we are told of, you may be able to almost ignore the backstory once it's out of sight, out of mind. That's how I was able to push myself through the chapters by forgetting the fact that the ML is technically the MC's kid, outside of the flashback chapters, the MC acting like a teenager instead of the centuries old dude that he is supposed to be, makes it really easy to do so. And I liked all the other main characters except for the two leads, so I was invested in their stories.

But, the weirdo author wasn't done yet. What made me quit, the final straw that broke the camels back was when during the climax of the story the MC chooses his little groomed lover boy over his sister, over his own goddamn flesh and blood. Bro gets asked to his face if he would choose to bring the ML back to life even if it meant losing all hope of bringing his sister back and dude says yes. And that's hailed as a great, beautiful moment instead of the truly insane, disgusting, brain-dead bullshit that is it. Even the characters I had liked so far are depicted as supportive of that stance. That left such a bad taste in my mouth, that I couldn't keep reading any further. God, what a worthless work!
