Damn... Looking at how the chapter ended (137) I feel like rosetale isn't gonna be returning. I don't remember if that skill name was named or not, but I assume it's gonna be taking her powers in some sort of way. This is just a hunch tho. I like rosetale though, she's the most interesting villain by a long shot, and also just very strong which is a nice change of pace
I'm kinda disappointed there's no confirmation whether any of the 3 get together or not. Or even that Maaya didn't get together with anyone (the only one of the 3 without like. any plausible deniability of being gay). Ofc, I think all 3 of them are fruity, but 2/3 (mostly 1/3, but there's this one moment that makes it 2/3) could be argued the other way. That's not to say that things aaalways have to be spelled out, since uh. Media literacy. But I really would've liked it if we had gotten something a bit more solid in terms of relationship status. Like are Sakiko and Maaya dating, or are they just roommates? What's the deal with Chihiro and Sakiko? The only thing really solid is just that Chihiro and Maaya aren't a thing, and that's the only thing confirmed. Which kinda leaves a sour taste in my mouth (that it's the only thing fairly hard set). I would've liked a liiittle bit more, even if it isn't a 100% solid thing, even an 80% implication that some of them are dating would've been okay for me. I'm just rambling at this point, I liked the series a good amount, ending slightly disappointed me is all.
So I've read the original twitter version, as well as the serialized version and I just gotta say. (although it could still enter a similar route as the og version was much further along) The writing and story is a loooooot different than the og version. There's still a lot fundementally the same, but the plot seems drastically changed, and the writing flow seems a lot more.... Natural? The og had a lot of stuff going for it, but it all felt a little too on the nose with some stuff. Even if it's a slow burn, I feel like this version has a better flow of the story
Rosetale was S++ in 136, but wasn't money king only s+? So did rosetale end up getting stronger than money king, or is money king's rank s++ and I didn't remember right. Or is it a driver situation, and money king is stronger than the rank they showed us. I'm mainly asking this because I don't think we've seen an s++ before
I feel like there's some stuff that's nice, but it feels like the writer is kinda holding themselves back by playing into troupes too hard. I like the main character, she's silly and has a lot of charisma. But at times, the reactions had are a bit too forced, especially considering that we're kinda just thrown into the world without much time to get to know the characters. Additionally, I think the romance is kinda super forced. ML complementing her hands kinda out of nowhere despite at that point not even that crazy amount of screen time yet, seemed like romance just to have romance in the story, rather than a relationship that they had built. There's also not really many named side characters as well, and what I mean by this is. There's small frames of side characters that show potential to be interesting, but just don't get any names or any time in the light. The only real character that aren't plot points is basically just the main character, which kinda makes you care a lot less about things. I think there's potential, just I feel that if the author tried a bit less to pander, I think it would feel a lot more natural since I think there's something here for sure. Sorry for the ramble, LOL
Is there a better translation of chapter 11 somewhere?
I honestly HATE april fools translations (most the times), but there's so many times that a real translation never comes out and it honestly ruins it a bit. I remember this one series where it took 2 years for me to find a real translation for this chapter that was super important for the series. but it was unreadable due to the april fools
GET HIMMMMMMMMM, YOU F'ING TELL HIM GIRLLL.
