Zihvuda's manga / #Female Protagonist(2)

This was pretty interesting.The protagonist is flung into the world of a dating sim, and she actually can't do much at first but function as the game wants her. It's actually pretty great. The character dynamics are really good and the relationship development between the characters and the way some parallel the mc's actual(?) or previous(?) life is also super cool. The angst is delicious and the triumphs are so worth it. The fear of dying is real and well explored, and the comedy is great! This has been one of the few manga to actually get me to laugh out loud, which takes a lot. Really liking the story so far, although the fact that the dating sim the mc is in has the mc's 2 brothers positioned as potential lovers is kind of squick. Even though they aren't even related by blood to mc, it's still problematic for me. Thankfully the MC isn't even remotely interested which is nice, but still, the way their points wrack up in certain scenes is something i have to actively make myself ignore. It's still a great story! Would definitely recommend! There's like 1 or 2 chapters that aren't translated well at all, and they did almost make me drop the story, but thankfully the competent Asura Scans took over, and I was able to go back to enjoying the story. Really hope this continues to be translated by a group like Asura Scans who's english is this good.

Interesting take on Isekai, and a very addicting read. All the characters are likable and the relationships are very immersive. However the story has a bad habit of commenting on bad tropes that don't make sense or flaws in certain characters and then having them incorporated in the plot anyway. Just because you say something is bad, doesn't excuse you from doing the bad thing too, not even when trying to make a joke. It doesn't work like that~! =_= The MC is very oblivious, and it gets grating to watch. The MLs also need to do better when confronting her as she is (however unintentionally) completely belittling and ignoring their feelings and actions. It sucks and can be very frustrating to those that can't stand such things. This stuff overall is slightly mitigated by the fact the story starts when they're literally starting middle school and then continues in high school, so immature children not knowing what they're doing is to be expected. It still does annoy the hell out of me, but then, I'm not in the correct age demographic anymore. Still it's a fun read and the comedy for the most part really does land beautifully. Translation is fine for the most part, but there are chapters here and there translated by people who don't actually speak any english, so beware. You'll get more out of those particular chapters by ignoring the text and just looking at the pretty art. >_> One thing at the very beginning that annoyed me to no end is that MC suddenly gets confronted by a girl she's never seen before, MC NEVER asks who she is, or says "I don't know you". It's among the first things I'd say upon seeing a strange person coming up to me, being overly familiar, and not letting me go. I'd ask who she is, and or say "I don't know you, wtf?". It's incredibly frustrating when MC doesn't do this and just... goes along with it. It's freaking weird.
