I caught up to the current chapter (138) right now and it's getting kind of annoying to see pretty much every man offer the MC a concubine position. Not wife or even nice courting, just: "You're interesting! You're are now my concubine/property. Why aren't you happy about that?"
I mean, we're over 100 chapters in an I don't think ANY of the men save for the Prince of the foreign l country (who looks like Guard 2 that died) has given her respect or behaved in a way worthy of her interest. It's getting over done at this point. Oh, and the idea that the Leader Emperor(??) is really just trying to "help" by behaving the way he does is equally ridiculous in my mind. Anyone else feel the same?
(Side note: I love the MC and I think her gut reaction of near-disgust is pretty spot-on as she has a handful of old men lusting after her pre-teen/young teen body. Her crush on some of the more age appropriate guys is nice too, especially since they seem to be most redeemable action-wise.)
EDIT: Sorry to the two people that replied to this and had their responses disappear. I corrected a typo and the replies vanished.
I think for the sort of time period she's from being an orphan even if from a noble type family being a concubine would be the best she could achieve with a high ranking man (very class based). Also at the beginning she was accused of adultery which even if cleared would still be a stain on her name not to mention she's been labeled as a lone start and said to have the worse fortune to those around her.
I'm looking for an isekai that I believe was made into an anime. IN it, one high schooler from our world is bullied heavily and ends up switching places with another guy that looks exactly like him from another world. The other worlder takes over the bullied guys place here (he's good at heart, but wild) while our MC takes over the destiny of the guy he replaced. He gets a magic sword and journeys all over the new world. His former bully finds a way to the new world to continue his harassment. I need the name as I can't find it and really want to finish it. Anyone know this series?

I'm looking for a yaoi that was posted here a while ago. It had a gag-cover of a uke with angel wings and made fun of older yaoi tropes in every chapters from the extensive wealth to giant hands and necks. The end was something like the uke travels home via the bathroom door and meets up with his modern-day "love" interest. I want to show someone but can't remember the title. Does anyone know what the title is?

Hey--I remember reading this chapter/special in Nastume Yuujinchou where a water or lake yokai/spirit/something gives one of Natsume's ancestors the family name of Natsume BUT I can't find it anywhere. I don't know if it was a fever dream, but I would really like to re-read it and even after skimming through all the chapters I can't find it. Does anyone know if it exists/what chapter it is? ╥﹏╥
I don't think it's Natsume Yuujinchou, I know a manga that have a story like you described but I'm not sure whether it's the right one or not, if you want to try and I see I'll give you the link here

I'm honestly not sure now. The chapter you linked to is very similar to what I remember, but the art and story is different from my recollection. I'm pretty sure I haven't read "Koori No Mamono No Monogatari" before, but a lot of this chapter matches what I can recall of the Natsume side story that I think I read before. The key difference being art style and the story surrounding the lake demon (as in, the one I recall was just a Natsume-looking girl meeting a lake yokai and gaining a name, with the yokai reflecting later about the encounter).
I think you are right, though. Even though my memory is different, this does hit all the right beats from what I recall. I'm not sure when I read it though.... Huh. I need to figure out when I could have confused these two. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Thank you so much for answering. I have been racking my brain over this for over a week and I really appreciate it.
i haven't the faintest idea where to find the story your remember, but i can vouch for the quality of the manga they recommended. also another story by the same author, Silver Diamond. they might be able to tide you over until you find what you're looking for. best of luck.
Thank you for your comment! I added it to my reading list after checking out the chapter.
:-D
I have read Silver Diamond before and loved it so I'm looking forward to reading this new recommendation from @Rei and yourself.
