Lady Baby

Ongoing | JU Hyeon, Pingmin | 2000 released

An interesting tale of a girl who... goes back in time to her birth after a series of unfortunate events (she doesn't die). Mystery should be one of the tags for this, but I didn't add it because... well it's window dressing for the plot. For me, the plot doesn't focus enough on the mystery, and there's just too much fluff with the family. Also it's basically a harem story cause everyone is just falling for MC left and right. ML is only properly introduced around chapter 80 or something, and everything else is just everyone fawning of over how cute, pretty and smart MC is. They slowly introduce magic and mana, but not very well, and it's just not my cup of tea. It's honestly mostly slice of life, which is fine for those who like that sort of thing. It, unfortunately isn't what I come to Isekai/reincarnation stories for. Everything is a slow burn and therefore I find myself equal parts intrigued and bored. I do recommend giving it a try, as the story isn't bad, it's just not for me. The translation starts good and then there's once again a series of chapters "translated" by people who don't speak english. Also come chapters have missing pages and it's just.... a mess and a half to get through before someone who has basic knowledge of english makes the story comprehensible again. It's a shame but you miss some important interactions and world building because of the gibberish translations. The gibberish comes in around after chapter 90? I think, and it's like 10-20 chapters before it gets better. =_= sucks. The Romance makes you pray for more time skips. Also it's a reverse harem so it's already not something I'm into. Ugh... I just... I don't want to read about older people in child bodies making moony eyes at each other. It's just uncomfortable. Nor is the romantic moments between 5 year olds better or at all good. Just... Nope, dropping it and looking for something else now, before I end up on a watch list or arrested. (ಠ ∩ಠ)

Delivery Man From Murim

A powerful martial arts master ends up in a modern day alternate universe. He finds things strange, wonders around, saves a child and eventually gets a job as a delivery man in exchange for food and board. Dude wants to live a quite life, so he doesn't show off his powers in society. This was an interesting premise and I wanted to see where it'd go. It... it turned into slice of life, which wouldn't be bad though perhaps misleading, but the story is just... boring. What kind of slice of life skips over character development and interactions??? It's inconceivable! Issues arise and are dealt with easily and I was going along with it cause MC is an absolute master and I figured he'd need much more notoriety before any real challenges come find him. But then the story just skips from one scenario to the next and you've got nothing to interest you, because none of the introduced characters are then fleshed out in any way. There's a guy MC offers to train and then some chapters later he reappears again and I didn't know who he was! I completely forgot him, he left zero impression AND none of the "training" was ever shown. Did MC even start training him? Did they already have a session? I have no idea, but it certainly wasn't shown if it already did happen. ( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) I thought we'd get interesting adventures happening while MC was out making deliveries, but no, it's skipped over, never see him making a hand off, he just goes and comes back. What is even the point?! This is so weird. I recommend finding something more stimulating to read. It doesn't even need to be better than this, hell something worse would still make you feel something. This is just.... nothing, from plot, to characters, to art. Meh to the bone. ఠ _ ఠ
