bro this was in someone’s “wholesome father daughter/child mc” list.. WHY THE FUCK IS HE THE MALE LEAD?! there is SO MUCH that could’ve been explored. The first person who shows her love AND her “prince on a white horse” IS HER GUARDIAN??? BRO?? I GOT BAITED BY THAT LIST- FUCK!

I love reading egoist MLs suffer when the FL moves on from loving them, apologising & regretting.
Ratings /10 on how satisfying the angst is:
》9 - 10: Will make you both angry+satisfied.
》6 - 8: Good, but doesn't DELIVER angst
》4 - 5: Disappointing. Scum didn't suffer enough.
》1 - 3: Cancerous material. Will lose brain cells.
Added really good "haha suffer more you piece of shit" novels with novelupdate links. Highly recommend u read them.
(last chap read 52) is our puppy dog ML the demon-thing our MC killed before transmigrating as Renée? the one that was like “blah blah i’ll make it so you NEVER LEAVE the tower blah blah”
Even before the dragon was like “yeah he’s a bug in the system” Cedins whole spiel about never being fulfilled even after gettin money/honor UNTIL MC appeared.. makes me think he is. he wasn’t just “looking for someone strong” he was looking for the *only* human who defeated him in his past life, yeah?
╮(￣▽￣)╭
i hope shuuya kills him. but honestly- shuuya dying would hurt him more, right? let him think shuuya loves him only to slip out n die when he least expects it. fuck this vampire guy. “weh weh weh im immortal i crave life” bitch go get a farm. raise some cows.
ALSO, whats up w vampire stories n havin their “meals” be slaves? if vampires were real i guarantee you there would be millions of people who would fuckin LOVE to be fed upon. no need to enslave and torture them. there’s plenty of fuckin FREAKS who would love to die from blood loss after being eaten by a vampire.
for the horny girls who like to imagine themselves having sex in the olden days
seme is trash, the twins are trash, semes dad is trash.. all we’re missing is some secondary seme who tries to get in the way. *blergh*
the seme “excusing” the twins’ behavior and not defending his CRUSH(?!) made my blood boil. HE KNEW THEY WERE SAYIN THAT SHIT N HE DID WHAT?? NOTHIN! “i love you” NAH FUCK YOU, you manipulative piece of SHIT! chipping away at the ukes self esteem in such a formative time (puberty) would of course have lasting effects on his adult life. i wish the uke would’ve punched the fuck outta the twins and seme (again), and find another partner.

like- they aren’t human. they have a completely different worldview and an entirely different set of ethics and morals. what is evil, to a dragon? they eat humans, humans kill and utilize their parts to craft better weapons/armor. one is a food, the other a resource. they both kinda need each other. humans lack any real *specific* predators, but this type storyline gives us one (albeit fanciful). (づ￣ ³￣)づ
i’m reaaaaallly trying to like this series. the concept is great. i’ve read other i’ve seen time-traveling MLs before and they’re typically fun, but this series is flavorless. idk what it is, but this series is like eating saltines, a dry and flavorless cracker. (〜￣△￣)〜
i rarely see authors add spines to feline-hybrids (if you know what i mean), but knotting is everywhere. i’m not sayin “oh damn i wanna see some spine action” but it’s just weird that there’s like a 70/30 shot of a canine hybrid being able to knot in a story in their human form, but the tiger/leopard/house-cat characters? damn near zero, and when there ARE spines, 9/10 they’re in their animal form.
an odd double standard?
i’m thinking too much (づ￣ ³￣)づ
ya know it’s not often that we have a series where ALL the men are trash. unfortunately our girl peri is gonna have to deal with them for the foreseeable future. her fam begging for forgiveness. :) fuuuuuuck you.
forgive deez nuts across your punkass face. whatever bridge her family wanted to build has long since burnt to the ground. “their” peri died in that tower, that bond- that love- withered away FOR LIKE 6 YEARS. i do not believe in redemption for a biological family like that. go open an orphanage, do some good for the community. don’t adopt some magical fucking orphan and hope ur daughter (WHOM YOU OUSTED FROM THE HOUSE TO DIE) would magically appear n marry him. GODDDD THE NERVE OF THESE MEN
I was so down for the intersex uke, but the dragon seme is a cunt. it could’ve been written w a cute lil family.. BUT NO. we get a straight uke who was coerced into sex, and is basically roofied at anytime based on the dragons whims. that’s hell. no love blooms from that. I wish the womb-thing was based on love/trust and not cum and dragon-roofies. #－.－)
“oopsie whoopsie! i soul bound you to a weapon because i didn’t want you to die!”
but now he’s in a state worse than death, right? he has no autonomy he has to be wielded to “exist” so much for saving him lol. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
listen i understand the idea. i see the concept. the FMC has gone mad as a result of all the shit she went through, which is a valid response to the trauma.. the MMC swooping in and being like “:) let’s help each other. i wanna be king. you want revenge.” but this poor girl is still skin and bones and is SEVERELY shaken up. there’s no one at the manor who pulled the FMC aside and was like “hey pookie, i know you want revenge but you need to be healthy first-“ it’s just speedrunning the plot. who cares if her body holds up? clearly the MMC doesn’t. she is a tool. the FMC is like “we can use eachother” but there are no fair terms to this deal. she is not his equal, they both know that. without him she’d be sent back to the house that abused her doomed to die a tragic death because women in this world seemingly don’t have rights, and without her the MMC would only have to hold off on usurping the thrown for a little bit longer. see how those aren’t equal? lol.
ALSO HE CHOKED HER?? “we’re testing what power you have” BULLSHIT. tEmPtAtIoN my ass. #－.－)
LMAOOOOOOO AINT NO WAY THEY USED AN ELECTRICAL CORD!!! that shit made me actually laugh, i wasn’t even focused on the smut anymore i’m just imagining them unplugging a toaster in the heat of the moment n bein like “this’ll work” ꉂꉂ◟(˃ꇴ˂)༡
very typical “bullied mc gets strong” with a harem. i’m glad there are other characters (like that Hawks lookin dude, who also lowkey looks like a pimp) who are there to guide the MC because his naive ass would’ve gotten scammed many times over.
i hate the harem lmao. it’s so overused and boring. people can party together n not be in a relationship, there is no need to enforce the stereotypes of “haha strong man gets bitches” and “men and women can’t be friends/party members bc *obviously* they’re going to develop feelings,” dawg what? spice it up. friendship posse of two lesbians and an demi/ace mc, who are an amazing party. i’m all for poly endings but w these it’s never actually poly. it’s just “competition” between the harem members for the affection of the MC, and he usually “picks one.” (づ￣ ³￣)づ
what the fuck is this? i couldn’t finish even 2 chapters, and like- i’ve read some fucked shit. but painting this semi realistic “closeted queer” experience only for the stupid fucking, no good, manipulative, selfish, cunt of a seme to out him? furthermore, the sex scene didn’t feel- consensual.. because it really wasn’t. man’s was coerced into havin sex, which.. is r^pe? or at the VERY LEAST s*xual ass*ult.
the art is lovely, but the story?? better off just looking at panels from the story w/o text. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
when i was around the ukes age.. i think having a disgustingly young uke didn’t bother me (lowkey conditioned to accept it) but now that i’m an adult i look at that age and cringe. 15? my god.. i look at a real 15 year old human n im like “oh shit i was that young once. how the fuck could anyone sexualize someone this age?” fiction is obviously a form of escapism, however, this kinda normalizes very real and very disgusting behaviors.
go feral for omegaverses, im all for it, but can both sides PLEASE be the age of consent? i mean shit- even in Japan the age of consent got raised, right (albeit to 16)? even if they have this “healthy” “happy” relationship, this kid has no one. no support system aside from his partner. it’s giving pricilla presley, or the “baby groupies” from the 70s-80s.
Σ( ￣□￣||)
this isn’t even a fun time. at no point during this read was i like “they’re going to have a happy ending” because this is purely tragedy. no real romance (just trauma-bonding), and the only thing happening is psychologically torturing the MC. i don’t know what i was expecting, maybe some revenge but a happy ending?
nah, just trauma. deaths over n over n over. no one is safe (legit no one, aside from the MCs). there is not a single form of respite for the MC. she has no one. even if blondie saves her, whats the point? not only is she FUCKED mentally, if she ever had a child that kid would also be fucked.
I swear, her family was a fairy/spirit of some kind, (bc the “otherworldly” beauty n regressions). i wonder if her ancestor broke some horrible taboo n that’s why she’s doomed to repeat her life. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
hot on the outside (smut, art) and kinda cold and unpalatable on the inside (clusterfuck plot). couque deserves better, and hu’s relationship w berry(?) confused the fuck outta me lol. however, i think my biggest gripe, which i’ve seen others bring up, is pacing. it felt like a four car pile up of plot.
