I remember reading this awhile ago, and rereading it now has just made me realize that there’s no conflict in this story.
At literally every point that they could add conflict, they instead just solve it immediately.
Oh he’s transported to a new world and has a collar? Well we know someone who can get it off immediately.
He met these two people just a day ago? Turns out he’s the pair of one. Oh wait! Both of them are actually his pair, and both are totally ok with sharing. Also, he’s conveniently gay, so he has zero qualms about being with a male partner, let alone 2.
He has special healing skills? He can pretty much immediately regrow an arm and fix a leg of his two pairs. No need to work towards that goal, he just achieves it!
Going to meet his pairs families? Everyone immediately loves him and nobody treats him cruelly, differently, or poorly.
Oops, we need something to force a child. How about we say that he has a curse that makes it so he has to have a child in order to break it? Don’t worry, he’ll be totally fine with having a child with one of the two men he has barely known a month.
Also, if they just said that they need a core in order to conceive, how did Mintz get pregnant? He made it seem like it was an accident because his partner didn’t pull out; but if you have to purposefully put a core in, how can anybody get pregnant by accident?
I enjoyed the story as being really simple, I just think it was such a great concept that could have been carried out really interestingly, but it just fell flat. It’s like they had all these plot points that they wanted to do, but only ended up being allowed to do so many chapters, so they just made all of the problems from them be solved instantly instead.
I’m trying to find a manga I started reading awhile ago. And I don’t remember much about it. Just one scene sticks out to me.
I believe it’s an isakai and the mc was a doctor in their other life. And the scene has them using magic to heal another character, but usually in that world it can’t heal major wounds or internal wounds because they can’t visualize it. But because of their work as a doctor in a previous life, they use magic and visualize the blood vessels and nerves and such and thus are able to heal major wounds. And I believe even make a new leg for a character or something.
Sorry it’s not much to go on.
It’s been what? 30 chapters? And Astina still cannot understand that she is doing the same thing over again? That she is pushing him away just like she pushed Theo away and treating Teriod as Theo had treated her.
She’s so afraid that she might not be loving him genuinely that she is masking all of her actual feelings and her fear is making her unsure of what is true and what is not.
This isn’t even something that can be talked out between the two of them anymore I feel. I fear that somebody is going to have to force some sense into her.
I had just finished chapter 6 or 7 when they brought up the mom going missing again. And I thought it was weird that she didn’t have any mention of leaving or such. Then I went back and reread the chapter where half-sis turns her into a cat initially and she talks about how mom wanted to take her back and how it “worked again” etc. And after rereading the first chapter, it hit me!
The half-sister turned her into the parakeet from the beginning! And once the parakeet was able to “say her mothers name” aka say her own name and learn to talk thus start to be able to tell people that the daughter is a sorceress and what she did. She kept it with her at all times!!!
Idk if that bird is dead now or not, but omg that’s 100% what she did!!
But I personally am tired of the black leopard trope. I prefer when they just have the leopard be their beautiful golden color with the black spots and such. Not every leopard or big cat in a story needs to melanistic or leucistic or albino etc. The normal color of some of these bigs cats are beautiful. Except for golden tigers, those are my favorite.
This manga really had me for the first 6 maybe 8 chapters. But by this point I’m just getting bored by how long it’s taking for any real growth in the relationship between these two, specifically mutually. Like yeah, their feelings have grown but there was just so much that they had to cover here and that they’re trying to pack on that it feels like they’re trying to get to the next plot point before they fully resolve even the last three.
Spoilers ~
I mean, he got transported to this new world that’s a novel of his sisters. So he’s gotta resolve his feelings on that.
Then he’s gotta resolve his feelings on most likely being an omega.
And resolve his feelings on being in a gay relationship.
And resolve his feelings on being in a lower class with a high class partner.
Like, none of these are really resolved at all before they skip to the next one. Sure, he says he realizes he doesn’t care that he’s a guy, but it doesn’t *feel* like he worked his way through that. So everything just feels both rushed and slow at the same time.
I think maybe I’d feel more invested in the story if by this point they rushed it to the moment they admitted their feelings for each other. But instead it seems like they’re just going to go for another moment of “Now I won’t tell him my feelings for him because I realize the risks of dating somebody of his status” that he somehow never realized could be a possibility all this time. And instead we’ll get another handful of chapters waiting for Jasper to figure this out and pulling the feelings out of him. Ugh
Super cute and they did get into their relationship super quick which was funny and interesting. My only issue is the size discrepancies. Some scenes she barely comes to his shoulders and others she’s up to his chin. I’m giving grace and it doesn’t actually bother me that much but man, I just don’t know how tall anybody is lol.
