ALisAnimeLover's manga / #aphrodisiac(5)

Ahh, yes, my rare pair. Glad to see a dj of them. The ending is... a pleasant surprise, honestly. What's better is that it's slightly open-ended. *spoilers* Will he enact his dreams or not? I like to think that he doesn't and never will though. Because that's what separates fantasies from reality.

Now I want gramps' story Ch 1-5 + 6.5 is the main story, ch 6 is an unrelated one shot. The main story is... fine? Romantic development is kinda inexistent although I did like how the plot progressed chapter by chapter (especially with how this story isn't really meant to be a series). Tbh, I think ch 6 has its lore better developed (about hunters, beasts and monsters, etc) compared to the main story... although it has that disease called "one shot syndrome" where the story has barely any development. The confession for ch 6 just used aphrodisiac as a plot device to happen, otherwise you don't really feel anything from the uke. He just feels like an NPC object of desire by the MC. And the brother came out of nowhere, lol, he added nothing to the story. Is this an extra story of another manga?

Ch 37 then skipped to ch 60++ lol. Might read properly when I have time (+ when I'm in the mood) Edit: dropped. I just couldn't get into the mood reading it when the story is all over the place. I'm just keeping it at 2 stars for the kids and the lore --------- That girl is annoying smh. Thank god Yun just let her stay crippled after she threw away the medicine. Reap what you sow, bitch. Lore seems to be good though it feels all over the place. Terms and details are placed here and there while the story progresses, but they weren't even there at the start (the mc just went to a new planet, got revealed as an empty man (which is only explained at that time too), and somehow got into a contract with a devil where it wasn't even explained yet what hell has to do with the story, and then it says that there are people with magic, with no magic and with strong magic (nobles) but without full context on the weight of these roles, etc etc). There's also the family tree that's suddenly growing left and right. Lol, it feels like when you go to a family reunion then you first meet your 100th cousin 99 removed Story kinda started off with rape (on the seme's defense, he's the one on aphrodisiac (and the uke got affected) so he's not stable that time too). Though the bigger problem is that after the aphrodisiac chapter (idr if it was just ch 1 or if it was longer or what), the seme kept pestering the uke and trying to make him into his lover when the uke is obviously not into him. Unless he's a tsundere, lol. While it MAY be because of the family differences (nobleman and a non-nobleman (lol, is he even still considered a commoner?)) that he doesn't want to get involved with the seme, the uke's actions and words suggest that he's simply not interested in the seme and is straight 乁( •_• )ㄏ The kids are cute though. They're the only ones keeping me wanting to read this comics

Cool grandma playing games. But ffs, Asuka-san is also not an older lady I hate the ex to my core
