Are you seriously telling me that no other country--no, that no other *person*--tried to eat a boss drop? That there are no other kings on the entire Earth?
I love the commentary on capitalism and absolutely believe that nations out there would purposefully restrict the closing of dungeons for monetary gain, especially countries like the US and Korea, but none of them also have, like, a team of scientists that are just going crazy trying to test literally everything? I love our girl, but her being Earth's sole savior is just a lot like let her divide the responsibility among others OTL
Wahh, I binged this entire thing, lolol
Growing up in a relatively accepting community at a bit of a different time, it was difficult for me to relate much. But this comic made me realize the "no tolerance for intolerance" mindset can be a bit of a privilege at times, and its misuse can also be dangerous.
I remember in high school, I was one of the only out kids. I knew quite a few homophobes. But by just being myself and not getting mad at them (although that would be justified) they ended up becoming more tolerant.
There were some moments when reading where I was cringing and thinking "what a horrible person!" but then I remembered that no one thinks they're a terrible person. We're all doing what we think is best based on knowledge avaliable... and the thoughts characters have could easily be held by us, if our situations were different. If I didn't have a kind and compassionate mom... if I didn't meet the people I did... I could have been hateful while thinking I was justified in being cruel.
I imagine this comic was very helpful during the time it was published in the early 2000's. And it reminds me that no one wants to be yelled at or lectured about why they're a horrible person... Why they're intolerant and evil and should be shunned by society. That just makes hatred grow and fester... and emboldens people by making them (ironically) feeling like the victims in the scenario.
So in an odd way, this comic reminded me, as a queer person, to be more tolerant to those who are ignorant. That a lot of them are just uneducated or unfamiliar... and if it's safe to and I can afford to, to just... show them I'm normal. (But if someone refuses to learn, I won't waste my time)
The FL makes sense... to an extent. I don't know why her first thought was that she reincarnated into a specific novel or video game with a set lore and world building, since a lot of isekai stories also have characters waking up in completely "original" worlds. If the events were similar to a story she had read before, that would make sense. But she's super dedicated to the idea that it's a novel even though she has no basis for the claim.
However, with the thought process that she is in a novel, her actions make sense. I just wish the writing was a bit better to make us empathize with her more. Since we know from the beginning it's actually a horrifying world, her actions just make her seem dumb (even though they're totally justifiable from her line of thought). It would have been a lot more interesting to have us discover things aren't quite as they seem alongside her. Maybe give her a bit more agency when finding out what type of "romance" book she woke up in. Have us (and her) slowly realize things aren't as they seem.
I'm at the point where it's been revealed that she never had any grasp on the situation and shit is scary and life-threatening. Yet she continues to hold onto the idea that it's still a novel or a game (again, why does she believe she's in a fictional world?) and carries over her biases with romance plots into the scenario.
If I woke up I a romance novel and suddenly it turned out I had no idea what was really happening and everyone is dying and trying to kill me, I sure as hell wouldn't be so flippant or stubborn about certain aspects. Rosé is obsessed with this notion of a "dragon," because that's what's usually involved in isekai-romance stories. But she's clearly not in a stereotypical romance story... so why does she still keep on applying that logic?
I can understand the everything not feeling real and not really registering that the people around you are real, or that you're in danger of dying, but she's so chill and also so good at shooting somehow that it's a bit exasperating.
TLDR, MC is understandably stupid... until she continues to be stupid without an excuse, and is so quirky and simple that she's also somehow OP. Good concept, mediocre follow through.
Honestly, saw the cover and thought it would be erotica. Pleasantly surprised by this hilarious comic that doesn't take itself seriously at all, but also seems to have a genuinely good plot and worldbuilding.
And also, MC has big tits. Nice!
I get him looking like a child in his dream. It made sense. Then he turned back to an adult... except not really? He's been shrinking
The showering scene literally looked like a grown man cleaning a kid and that's gross.
I think I'm going to drop. Not for me anymore, I' not a nonce lol
I'm just gonna wait for the official translation to come out and buy it. I... I can't, you know?
I love how now that he's gay we have no choice but to not ship her with him... like he would have been such a good match lmao. I hope they both find decent boyfriends XD
He's so handsome... woah... even when smoking... I like his hair pushed back look but he looks younger with his hair down... and he's fit too (volleyball coach)... a handsome older man.
Do you all think that maybe the title refers to Kanna being the monster?
Or maybe it refers to all three of the characters. Each can be interpreted as a monster... a villainess... a crazy monarch... and a (possible) witch? I don't know. I need more!
I love how everyone is hating on Cliff the same way they used to hate on Killian (/s). Guys, he's following the programming like everyone else.
Yes!! The plot is having less of an impact and he's finally starting to be able to be rational!
