I've put off reading this because I know it's received heat for a shota storyline, but since it also has great reviews around the world-building and the rest of the plot I wanted to give it a read to see what's up for myself. But wow, I haven't read a translation this bad in a long time. It's not that it's generative AI wonky but it's a super broken English translation with lots of typos and grammatical errors and I'm just immediately taken out of the story. I really wish this translation group had had a proofreader but it looks like they didn't
I'm kind of heartbroken because this was going to be the manga I got into this week. Here's hoping there will be a retranslation or an official translation someday so I can finally see what all the fuss is about with 5-nin.
For me, it's apricots. My grandma loved them so I want to like them too, but I've never had a good one in my life.
Gonna second papaya. Adding in Dragon fruit, I literally can't taste anything and hate the seed. Banana, I can smell and taste it a mile away. I hate the taste, smell, texture, the little gross pieces from the inner skin that get stuck to it. I hate everything about them and even if there's just the tiniest little bit in something I will taste it and it will be ruined for me. I just really fucking hate bananas, but they're in everything so I wish I did like them.
I recently read "Living no Matsunaga-san", "The Galaxy Next Door", and "3 AM Dangerous Zone" and enjoyed them all! I really like stories that are unusual or break conventions (like a high school girl living w/ strangers in a sharehouse, a manga enthusiast who's actually an alien, a yakuza daughter who wants to be a teacher, etc.). There is SO MUCH out there though and I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'd be grateful for a few of your thoughtful recommendations.
Qualities of stories I like:
+ honestly not looking for much smut (although some sexy payoff in a slow-burn romance isn't bad!)
+ the romance is balanced well with other aspects of the story
+ not too many chapters (for now I'm still wetting my feet in the genre, so stories w/ less than 30 chapters are preferred)
If you would take the time to respond to this, I would be extremely grateful!!! Tyty( ´ ▽ ` ).。o♡
Have we gotten any clear intel on who beary god is/where he comes from? This story has gone on for so long and Seth has sort of just accepted him as part of their gang so I'm having a hard time remembering whether that's been revealed or not.
